Breaking now.

Curfew from 12 am to 5 am.

Citizens at presser are outraged. Shouting down the Governor, the Missouri Highway Patrol representive, Capt. Johnosn, whom they previously lauded. It's out of control. It's a circus.

What's so bizarre is that all reports are that LEO did not step in to prevent looting last night, they stood by. The same assertion was made on the first night. The first night it was Ferguson Police, last night it was Missouri Highway Patrol.

Why was military force used against peaceful protesters and yet LEO stood by while looters broke the law?

What is going on in Ferguson Missouri?

This is just a small city test. Large city test happened with Boston Bombing. Mega city will be next (Los Angeles, Chicago, NYC).

My money is on Chicago being "chosen."

The authorities can't do anything to please the public. The press conferences even turn into rants and yelling.

I think TPTB are setting up a scenario to flex their muscles.

Your right that it doesn't make sense to stand down and watch looters while good citizens tried to protect the stores......Then after the fact send in riot squads!

No matter how you look at it, it is a sad state of affairs when law abiding citizens (store owners included) need help from the criminal opportunists and the police do nothing.

All part of the plan. Have the chp stand down so the looting can kick off, then they have a reason to bring the bomb squad back in. I imagine the military police will beck to inforce the curfew. Tonight is gonna get ugly.

The people are outraged when the police are around. The captain said they had to rescue three officers from a parking lot last night. Many people want to run amuck, it seems.

So what do they intend to do to those who break the curfew?

Just a guess - the rioters will break the curfew, just to show them they can.

It's going to get ugly.

This must be an organized effort.

But by WHO?

Last night's rioting and looting is being slightly downplayed today.

After the State Police "take over", it seems even they have failed.

“Obama Stop Getting Distracted”

Ferguson protesters call out to Barack Obama on the golf course. (Kenny Bahr – St. Louis)

A black Ferguson resident spoke with News Channel 5 TV in St. Louis.
He said, “Why were the officers standing back? Why don’t they shoot these looters?”

On Friday night several Ferguson area businesses were hit by looters.

** Liquor Store Looted
** Sam’s Meat Market
** Chinese restaurant (for second time this week)
** Beauty Supply Store Looted
** Electronics Store Looted
** Domino’s Pizza fire – May have been inside the business
** Bus Stop Vandalized
** At least one person shot
** Bottles Thrown at police!



.....
and Capt. Johnson is getting creamed in a news conference right now.

He is doing his best.

The Governor is beside himself as well.

We have been warned.

But they did not intervene while looting occurred. The citizens defended their own property last night...groups of citizens with guns came together to surround and protect businesses. LEO watched and cowered but yet they used military force against peaceful protesters.

It makes no sense.

Jailed I am sure. Maybe they will give them a chance to get back inside, but I wouldn't hold my breath

Exactly. The looters is what will hit the msm, any peaceful protest wont be shown.
Job done, the sheeple agree that the police were right to use their big guns.

The people are upset when the police are around. It's a no win.

Why the collective punishment? Is this kindergarten? NO! You punish the law breakers.

good question...I leave my house at 3am for work. I'd have to think there will be a contingency plan for this...possibly an "escort" to the work place?
