Tear gas is out.
Why do they need to get out of the street? Who in their right mind would drive through Ferguson right now? Let them get their anger out so long as property is not damaged.

I wonder if the people will try to hold the street?

(4,959 posts)someone's saying 'the looting has begun', although I'm not clear that very many people are doing that. There is a ton of tear gas and people all over the place.

(4,959 posts)I don't think there was really looting, it was something someone said right after some windows got smashed. But now there is a massive line of cops in front of this shopping center or whatever it is.
Treating people like animals. When they're the fucking pigs.
Surreal to have the big lit-up "Season's Greetings" sign hanging above the street while this is going on.
