"
The largely peaceful protests began Sunday morning with a silent march, but by night they had been overtaken by what appeared to be random violence and opportunistic looting. The man shot by police, Tyrone Harris Jr., had been with two friends who were trying to sell a looted flat-screen television, according to his girlfriend and relatives. They said an argument with a buyer over the TV’s price escalated into a gunfight, during which police said Harris opened fire on a carload of undercover officers."
Harris, 18, remained in critical condition Monday. Police charged him with 10 counts of assaulting law enforcement, shooting at a motor vehicle and armed criminal action...
St. Louis Alderman Antonio French, who was just a few feet away when the night’s first round of gunfire broke out, said he ran toward the office of a nonprofit group he founded called Heal STL. There he saw a young man who looked equally horrified by the shooting, so French invited him in.
Moments later, as French turned his back, the boy dashed out the door with six of the nonprofit’s iPads, a laptop and a camera bag.
“For a small group of people, the anniversary of Michael Brown’s death might as well have been Looting Day,” French said.

Either the silent lawful majority has been silent too long or there just isn't one. Either way, it's pathetic.
Innocent people in Ferguson are waiting for the government to do its job and protect them. Counting on the government to do anything has become the hope of the foolish, and the slow-learner. Besides, the people in your government don't even want to do what's needed. Leave now.
How is it possible for an unarmed man to commit a strong armed robbery. At least the Post described him as an "unarmed man" instead of an "unarmed teenager" as is their usual custom......,It's a shame that a group of concerned black citizens didn't gather around the looters to record the action with their camera phones. This would undoubtedly have inhibited the looters.
There are no innocent people in Ferguson. They have all left. What you have left are the clinal element and their enablers like the sap that invited a looter into his office.
You reap what you sow.
That is the criminal elements. The feral youths and the people who live off of their crime.
The largely peaceful protests
You have to love that line. How do they define "largely?" All the "gentle giants" were home in bed sleeping off the night before?
random violence and opportunistic looting
As opposed to the pre-planned violence and looting bought and paid for by Dr Evil?
The man shot by police, Tyrone Harris Jr., had been with two friends who were trying to sell a looted flat-screen television, according to his girlfriend and relatives. They said an argument with a buyer over the TV’s price escalated into a gunfight, during which police said Harris opened fire on a carload of undercover officers.
So was the looted TV part of the peaceful part or was it the gunfight over the price?
“For a small group of people, the anniversary of Michael Brown’s death might as well have been Looting Day,”
National Looting Day sounds pretty cool. I suggest April 15th.
Silly! Every day is Looting Day!
But on the Anniversary of Michael Brown's death, the media shows up to video Looting Day.
The result?
MORE LOOTING!
Woo
They strive for peaceful looting..
They looted a beauty supply store. At least they wanted to look good for the cameras.
St. Louis Alderman Antonio French...
Has been throwing gas on the fire since the shooting occurred. He needs to just shut his pie hole!
