What happened to the person who fell down the stairs? Do they need help?

where does the spiral staircase lead?

That doesn't look very urban.

maybe it is in forest park

BTW - Michael Jackson is starting to pop popcorn.

So the state of emergency is for the entire state? What do they expect to go down in Branson?

Its for Ferguson and parts of St.Louis City from what i read. If these protesters are indeed wearing masks then why even bother protest if you are worried you are completely choosing your fate in all of this.

^Consider the source. The Gateway Pundit--aka Jim Hoft, is called the Stupidest Man on the Internet--and for good cause!

If you follow the links from The Gateway Pundit to Justice for Mike Brown page they say it's all false and they never made any such list.

They may both be full of shite.

I've seen this page linked by several of my Facebook friends. I just don't want to see any businesses or organizations hurt by this hysteria. Especially at the hands of such a d bag.

I find it to be nerving that people can find all the time to be ugly but can't exhaust the time to being a positive influence on lives. I mean no disrespect to anyone however i personally feel these protest won't lead to anything but more hatred towards each other. The protest aren't going to solve any real source problems particularly the one's who choose to inflict violence on another or go and damage innocent peoples property. Right now I'm reserving majority of my judgement on when they decide to make the final decision this week "hopefully" on what the outcome of the event will be. I think its very bright that the national guard is in the city as well. I'm hoping that this won't lead to a raging gun battle between police national guards and citizens of the city. What worries me the most are the out of town protesters who come here to just be a nuisance to society and help with the violence. Again no disrespect to anyone however I think the media is critically at fault with this whole entire scenario thats going to unravel.

Agreed. It's time to stop playing dead in the streets and interrupting cultural events. Instead, it's time to start thinking about how we (all of us- no matter what we think about the circumstances of this particular officer-involved shooting) come together as a community to address the legitimate, underlying issues that this incident and other recent officer-related shootings have exposed. It's hard to start talking when there are so many who are still hell-bent on yelling. Sure, the more people protest, the more attention these issues get. I simply believe they're generating the wrong kind of attention.

Has there ever been a protest movement that succeeded without inconveniencing anyone?

How dare you ask that obviously rhetorical question?

Those disruptive protesters all need to shut up and go home so that we can "move the conversation forward."

As I alluded to before, the protesting isn't my problem, but I do think the content of the protests holds back the conversation. At some point they/we have to move on from "justice for Mike Brown" and get to the issues of our socioeconomic divide. It doesn't matter what Darren Wilson gets charged with or not charged with, the grand jury decision will fix nothing.

Because the Mike Brown incident was a symptom (or perhaps a reaction of multiple symptoms) caused by a much larger issue.

To be clear, it's not that I don't believe in justice for Mike Brown (though I'm significantly less sure I know what that justice would be than the most of the protestors appear to be). I do. I want the truth. I want justice. I want peace for a suffering family and community. But the outcome of one case will not come close to fixing our problems. We've got to move on to those problems.

protest all you want, just don't wear a mask....

Well only 36% of eligible voters nationwide cast ballots in the midterms. 4 in 10 sounds like a huge improvement over previous years. Especially when MO had no Senate or Gov races

Additionally, voting Stream over Stenger was always a short-sighted stance in the matter of fixing our issues. It would have been the epitome of what I was saying before. Putting the individual Mike Brown/Darren Wilson case ahead of actually fixing the issues that got us to that place.

Stenger is capable of being a part of the fix. Stream was not going to be.

Protest leader has car stolen during protest! This is insane!

To go from yelling "f*** the Police" one minute to filing a police report about your stolen car the very next minute is pretty odd. Sorry to hear. Hope the police can find it for her.

Was she really yelling" F#$! The Police" when her car was stolen? Maybe, but I'm sure as hell not taking the divisive racist known liar Jim Hoft (aka Gateway Pundits) word for it.

Are you saying it didn't happen or are you saying she wasn't yelling "***** the police" at the very precise moment of the auto theft? She tweeted that her car was stolen during the protest, btw.

Anyway, I keep an eye on all extremists and racists and both sides of this Ferguson thing is filled with 'em.

I m saying most of the Gateway Pundit readers probably think all the protesters should be given the Bull Conner treatment. It makes better copy for him to say she was yelling" F the Police", even if she wasn't. He's been known to lie before.

That her car was stolen is confirmed.

In short, please don't waste your time reading the Gateway Pundit. It's not good for you nor anyone who associates with you.
