10:30 p.m. Central Time: Fires continue, and while many protestors are still out in Ferguson, Missouri, reporters say the crowds had dwindled a bit.

I must commend Mandy Murphey (”the girl reporter”). She has been the one emphasizing, over and over again, the lack of the National Guard. And co-anchor Tom O’Neal has not hidden his disgust at the “protesters.” They’re doing a good job.

Ceiling Cat would have a light snack, wash his paws and face, and take a nap.

He would not be violent.

Basement Cat would do the same, but leave a hair ball behind where someone would step in it to show his displeasure.

I should turn on my TV and watch the news, but I’m afraid I may cry. I don’t think it’s about the verdict. I think people just want to riot.

P.S. thanks for the kitty pix.

Obama said to them “burn down all the businesses”. We want our welfare people back.

Yeah, it reminds me of that time O.J. Simpson was acquitted of murder and all the people burned down Brentwood.

Oh wait...

Seeing the footage for the first time and it’s making me angry. Seeing those uncivilized ne’er do well’s running around setting fires, looting businesses and wreaking havock on people’s property, people that didn’t even have anything to do with the shooting of Mike Brown or the verdict. Where was the curfew, the national guard, why weren’t they prepared for this???

LEO press conference Ferguson: 12 buildings burned, total loss. LEO chiefs counted at least 150 shots fired near their street location, can’t believe they weren’t hit. 29 arrests to date, multiple firearms confiscated. One elderly gentleman carjacked, then run over.

Just wow. I mean, do these people not live in the area so don’t care about access to pizza, auto parts, or the financial security of their city? Or is it they don’t patronize those places so they don’t care? Can the businesses sue the city for just allowing these “people” to destroy their property???

This is hugh and series. It needs to be gotten to the bottom of immediately. We are not a third world country for God sakes. WHY is the Guard standing down.

Certainly is brave of all the people from outside Ferguson to come there and destroy the township, so the Ferguson citizens will have to do without goods and services in their town now.

Watch. Two years from now Blacks will call it racist because businesses have decided against coming back.

Meanwhile some smart mob lawyer’s about to buy up the entire town cheap - and redevelop it.
