NASHVILLE, Tenn. Interstate 24 has been shut down near LP Field as a large group of protesters converged on the streets of downtown Nashville.
Several hundred people took to the street Tuesday night, one day after a grand jury decided not to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown.
What initially began as a vigil gathering, soon turned into a demonstration with protesters forcing the closure of James Robertson Bridge and I-24 near LP Field.

When they starting looting, rioting and starting arson fires, ping me.
I’m trying to express a thought here. Let me try.
These protesters feel that “the system” is against them, the system is racist, the deck is stacked against minorities, racist cops use black men for target practice, etc.
There was a shooting in which Officer Wilson shot Michael Brown.
When the shooting happened, a number of events occurred as a result. Among those were that Wilson was put on administrative leave. And the case of the shooting was referred to the DA. The DA reviewed the case, and the case was given to the grand jury. The grand jury reviewed testimony and evidence and declined to indict Officer Wilson.
What I’m trying to say, perhaps too long winded here, is that there was a system in place to deal with an officer involved shooting. And that system included the possibility that the officer had committed a crime in shooting the suspect.
The system procedures were followed from start to finish.
So what exactly are these protesters angry about? That they didn’t get their prejudicial judgements in this case confirmed by the grand jury? That their rush to judgement that a white cop shooting a black man must be presumed to be murder?
What more exactly do people want from our system of justice?
Or do they just want to go do lynch mobs???
Don't need a Weatherman to see which way the wind
blws.
"What happens next bears watching closely, as does the response of the president, ex-Speaker Pelosi, and others on the left. Encouraged by leftists in the Democratic Party and funded by left-leaning nonprofit organizations and celebrity contributors, Occupy Wall Street may in time morph into something resembling the radical factions of the late 1960s and 1970s."

“You let a convoy get stalled and strafed on account of a couple of jackasses?!!”
You are correct. With the NSA having spied on us for years they know whom is behind this. Yep, none of this is spontaneous. Was very well planned and the useful idiots took the bait. That was all that was being waited for was the useful idiots to take the bait. America is once again under attack. Few to none have died thus far but America is under attack. The enemy is testing our perimeter. Deaths, many deaths will soon be the new normal. My opinion only but is plain as daylight.
it will likely continue through the Weekend!

They’d best be careful with their chant. They might get more than they bargained for. Not everyone agrees with this behavior and Tennesseans do believe in the 2nd Amendment. And like anywhere, there’s going to be a hothead or two.
They need to go home and wait until tomorrow’s planned rally.
Using fire hoses to clear the interstate would help
And ‘them’ are pushing their luck. People are sick and tired of this garbage. I saw where someone got run over today in MN. Gonna happen again and again.
Think you may have answered your own question ... Good Job!
Blocking an Interstate Highway is a HUGE deal. Truckers, family headed out to visit, normal traffic, all in danger.
Just take a Semi through doing 70 and they will move, or if not less trash in the cities!!
I agree. They’re lucky nothing happened tonight.
Tomorrow, all bets are off.
Will do. I don’t know if this crowd will go that far, though.
We’ll see!
I hope the people of Nashville fill some body bags!
F these assholes. They want war, give it to them!
What’s planned for tomorrow?
These protesters feel that the system is against them, the system is racist, the deck is stacked against minorities, racist cops use black men for target practice, etc.
Overall, blacks drain more from the system and pay less than anyone. Not all of them but, overall, they pretty much destroy most everything they come in contact with — cities, neighborhoods, public events, etc.
They’re a race of excuse makers. They get more handed to them than anyone and everything that’s wrong in their lives is someone else’s fault.
Those are the facts.
The WH is dedicated to achieving phase three.
Martin Luther King, Jr. marched against lynch mobs.
The Ferguson “protesters” are a lynch mob.
