The scene in St. Louis. Traffic now staying far, far away. http://instagram.com/p/t9BnNrEQXZ/

Imo doing that is ridiculous....
what about fire trucks and ambulances that need to get through....
I think those people should be arrested.

potentially blocking SLU Hospital ER & Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital again tonight I see

Notice he didn't post a picture of the man "whacking" a protester.

Oh and a car just "ran over a bunch of protesters?" Give me a break. You stand in the road...you block the road to traffic...you approach vehicles in a threatening manner......oy.

man, this is so close to home now -- thinking about fueling up the Hummer & going to the bank on Grand Ave; and fuel is less than $3 a gallon now

I just really really don't get it. They get mad at what, the govt? LE? Why do the citizens get all the grief from all their anger? Why bother people that have nothing to do with all this?

Demonstrators have parked themselves in an intersection about half a mile from a hospital.

Poor big truck driver.

 

[popsicle]

Reminds me of the truck driver during the Rodney King riots

 

[Dana]

If I was that truck driver, I'd lay on that horn for a loooong time and drown them all out. Those horns are LOUD. And then I'd just roll along. I sure wouldn't want to be standing in front of an 18 wheeler driving through.

 

[ontheclock]

I'd be horrified trying to drive a big rig in the middle of that throng. It's really unfair to all the non-protesters.

 

[krimekat]

just heard "let's f*ck up this rich neighborhood" and then the democracy cheer :laugh:

 

[SnoopyDawgDawg]

The protesters have "relinquished the intersection." [Major eyeroll].

 

[Dana]

I have no problem with protesters, whether or not I believe in their cause but these people are just plain trash by breaking laws.

 

[Dana]

Oh great, Argus guy's nostrils again :gaah:

 

[popsicle]

They are also protesting in Ferguson.. nm they all joined up with this group I think.

 

[CHERIE.T]

Reminds me of the truck driver during the Rodney King riots

Is he being ATTACKED?

 

[ontheclock]

Why is everything so funny for Argus guy? It's like some big joke, no real cause. Reminds me of high school horseplay. Annoying.

 

[popsicle]

Is he being ATTACKED?

No thank heavens.

Protester telling people to walk down flora, because 'all the rich people who hired the security company live down here.'

So...the good and decent citizens of Ferguson get a night off...a good night's sleep? Well there's the silver lining in this whole big fat dark cloud.
