Early in the day yesterday the Mike Brown Teddy Bear and Candle memorial caught on fire.
Of course the police were blamed as if:
However, later in the day the memorial was rebuilt and a crowd gathered in the middle of the street toward sunset.

Then a frustrated motorist had the audacity to arrive with an expectation of driving on the road. Apparently the rogue driver bumped the middle of the road memorial as they tried to work their way past the chanting crowd.

The crunching of the “tea lights” seems to have set off the chain reaction again.

The mob quickly organized and set off toward the main street to express their Tea Light displeasure with another bout of looting.
No police on scene yet. Young people breaking into Beauty Town. "Burn it down!" one yells.

First up, the beauty parlor. Because nothing says “Justice for Mike Brown” like a fresh set of looted hair extensions.

Apparently the police did that law enforcement thing again.
