Sounds like quite a few reporters are getting the hell out of there. "Peaceful #Ferguson protest" indeed…

It just got worse from there:
Police need to shut this #Ferguson riot down. The more they let the rioters have their way, the worse the rioters will be tomorrow.

Dear police in #Ferguson. The idjit wearing Guy Fawkes masks are rioters or instigators. Arrest them.

What we are seeing in #Ferguson isn't chaos. Chaos isn't planned. The agitators race-hustling poverty pimps planned this.

.@OccupyWallStNYC The "protesters" sure are persistent at arson and looting! | #Ferguson

"Green" is the fashion color of choice for violent druggie thugs / MT @state_chumps can we all wear green tomorrow for mike brown? #Ferguson

The "protesters" that shout "No Justice, No Peace" in actuality want neither. | #Ferguson

According to many twits tweeting about #Ferguson, facts are racist.

Of course there was some levity, including watching DailyKos have a conniption fit.
The only "idiotic display" is by ijdits like @dailykos that prefer that innocent people be indicted in the name of "social justice" & such.

.@dailykos Failing to indict an innocent man on a quixotic charge for "social justice" is hardly incompetence or malfeasance. | #Ferguson

Seeing lots of #Ferguson pics with graffiti that says "FTP" – Surprised that many people know what File Transfer Protocol is…

Until the next violent riot…
