    Rioting in STL

    Specifically Ferguson, MO:

    Coverage from St. Louis Post-Dispatch

    Sounds eerily similar to the race riots back in 2001; I hope the police and city leaders learned from Cincinnati's past experience to keep this from escalating any further.

    How many times do these same basic events have to replay themselves in this country? No idea who is right or is wrong in this confrontation, but I don't think it justifies more innocent people and businesses being harmed. Has the almighty leader of this country bothered to denounce rioting in just general terms?

    No idea. But apparently some people need instruction on the matter.

    It might give you some healthy perspective for you and your family to be on the receiving end of a mob. And I'm the asshole?

    Also, try to use words instead of pictographs, college boy.

    I think that message is directed at the rioters, not you.

    Lighten up Francis, I was just providing the commentary that the idiots doing the looting need to hear. The entire situation in Ferguson is FUBAR from all angles. Hopefully cooler heads prevail.
