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.

” however the looting probably lets people believe they are taking action”

lol. OK. White people don’t loot to “take action”.

All they did was eliminate even more jobs by burning down the employers.

But if you're carrying concealed and a youth knocks you down and tries to take your pistol and you shoot him then THAT'S a totally different story because you're not a cop, right?

Yes, Trayvon "Fight Club" Martin was jest a leetle 6-foot battle-hardened "boy"...

The police need to stop "confronting" "at all costs".

How steroid-stupid do you have to be to back-shoot a black kid in broad daylight in the summer in St. Louis, and then try to claim the usual cop escape hatches?

Whoops. I remember the 1967 Detroit riots.

If the report coming from the Chief is correct ... The kid made a grave error that put him six foot under. Angry words seem to be having their day once more. Prayers for calm.

This was a Sunday night so it appears the Midnight Basketball games were not scheduled, likely because of the Sunday night church services.

Is it possible some of the church youth groups had one too many pizzas after church and got out of hand?

Anonymous hacked the City of Ferguson’s website last night. All city emails are down according to KMOV.

It is likely a lever action 30-30 or 38 spl/357 magnum Marlin. Wal Marts sell those in Sporting Goods.

what on earth are you on about besides your anti police rants?

You have no idea what the full story is, nor was you there so wait for the investigation because people jumping to conclusions or using their hatred to law enforcement is what causes all this shit.
