Ferguson, Missouri (KMOV.com) – What started as a peaceful prayer vigil Saturday evening to remember a young man gunned down by police, has escalated into full scale riots and looting in Ferguson, Missouri.
Angry mobs have smashed windows, set fires and looted businesses as a massive showing of police, some wearing riot gear have moved into the area along West Florissant just south of 270.
Police are also responding to reports of shootings throughout the area. At one point, windows of a News 4 live truck were smashed out by the angry crowd.

Just don’t call them late for donuts.
I believe it was the Wisconsin State Fair or Summerfest.
Scanner- Police officers not responding to radio calls.
Was garbled, so I’m not sure where.
Just like Obama. Stealing from taxpayers, looting the treasury, smashing up the Constitution. And of course nothing is ever his fault.
I just checked the doors and wishing I had an AK-15. My husband purposely chose our new city for its low black population because living through the LA riots was mind blowing; how society could just unravel on a HUGE scale. I could see the city burn in innumerables places and the blacks and the Mexicans were legion storming the stores.
Then again, we are 70 miles from the border, and now my fear is for other mayhem.
can you give the feed?
Let’s show the police they were wrong for shooting by acting in a way that warrants being shot by the police. Great Black Liberation Theology Logic there...
Your fears are justified. Insane times.
Libs now actually supporting and justifying the rioting, burning, and looting as a proper response.
Seriously I’m done hearing their complaints and really don’t care....they do nothing to help each other get ahead, and few who even want to...it’s easier to sit back and blame the world for their plight rather than do the work to get out of the gutter they choose to lay in.
Twitter is full tonight of them saying ‘We’re tired” we’re this we’re that. Nothings changed, they will continue to play the race and victim card and I’m just not buying any of it anymore.
Even the educated and articulate blacks that are on the liberal sites ( I am monitoring several) endlessly justify their behavior tonight because of white societal ills or other news sources, they refused to address the looting at all.
I took this comment off the washington post, and thought it was a good example of a leftest paper downplaying the riot:
“People express grief in different ways. For example, I tried to burn down an Applebee’s after my grandmother passed away. Grieving is a complicated process.
On a separate matter, if I understand correctly, the word “looting” is racist. The caption on the top photo handles it nicely: “A man leaves a store on Aug. 10, 2014.” A perfectly adequate description of the image!”
You might consider a 20 gauge shotgun with maybe an extended magazine.
An AR might be a problem if you are in one of the communist states.
You are great. Thank-you Max. That is one of the treats of FR people like you giving us fresh updates from sources not all of us have.
...”Libs now actually supporting and justifying the rioting, burning, and looting as a proper response”....
Of course...keeping the black man in his place so they can mooch off his plight....Blacks will never get it how the libs use them and keep them down.....but then maybe they want it as much as the libs give it.
How to deal with that? Do you bring in the NG from a half dozen directions, announce local Martial Law, and to "Put down the stuff and go home. In ten minutes, looters will be shot on sight."?
Alternatively, cordon off the area, cut the power and water, and wait.
The problem with mass roundups is that participation will have to be established in order to make any charges stick.
From their statements tonight appears they like it
True, that, with "victimhood" established, no wrong will ever be righted, regardless of the 'reparations'--so long as that mentality prevails.
I no longer will give the benefit of the doubt until they can reach out to their own and change the equation they choose to act in and under.
Just like the Muslims....they do not rise against those among them either....so i have no tolerance of their nonsense anymore.
