Angst

Oh, the wailing and the gnashing of the teeth:

Fresh unrest in Ferguson, Mo., Tuesday night shows that the embers of the month-old unrest surrounding Michael Brown’s death can be kindled by even tiny sparks.

Detectives are investigating how a makeshift memorial to Mr. Brown, an unarmed black teenager killed by white Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9., burned early Tuesday morning. The memorial, which is one of two near where Brown died on Canfield Drive, included mementos and small candles that may have caused the fire.

But some in the area suggested that it’s “naïve” to think the fire was accidental, and about 200 protesters rallied to West Florissant Avenue again Tuesday, squaring off with police and looting for the third time a store called Beauty Town. There were media reports of looters yelling "Burn it down!" and of gun shots in the area near Canfield Drive. Police made five arrests.

In other words they were looking for another reason to go on a looting spree. Lovely neighborhood. Just watch what happens when the policeman is acquitted. Maybe they'll do us all a favor and burn their whole damned town to the ground.
