Is it my imagination, but are there significantly fewer “protesters”, and even Black Monday shoppers, than expected (still a large number, but not as thick a crowd)? But far more in the way of, for lack of better, terrorism.
There was about 1000 to 1200 out there tonight in Ferguson then crap started with them throwing stuff at police. They scatter like rats into smaller groups and then they start looting, setting fires. (maybe 200 to 300 of them are there to loot and set fires)
South St. Louis City also had a bunch of protesters (no looting but they did shut down a major highway) - that crowd was about 1000 also. I imagine some of the Ferguson protesters headed over to South St. Louis City after the fires started in Ferguson.
