More Anger in Ferguson over Burned Memorial

Five arrested. Two officers injured.

Five people were arrested as tensions flared again in Ferguson, Missouri, with people threatening officers, shooting at them, throwing rocks and bottles, and one person tossing a Molotov cocktail at a parking structure, police say.

Two officers were injured, one struck by a rock below the eye, Capt. Ron Johnson of the Missouri Highway Patrol said. And a business owner said looters tried to make off with his cash register. It was the third time the business had been broken into in the last six weeks, Johnson said.

The St. Louis suburb has been in the national spotlight since August, when Officer Darren Wilson shot 18-year-old Michael Brown in the street.

Yup, let’s all get ticked off over a burnt offering to a thug felon but NOT over the rest of the neighborhood that got burnt down.

Brilliant logic. Can’t imagine why the neighborhood is a crap hole.

You put candles on an ad-hoc, highly flammable memorial and use the fact that it burned down as an excuse to loot the same store for the third time?

When your life is so worthless you trade it for a box of swisher sweets, you can safely assume you’re not exactly dealing with geniuses here.
