More Looting In Ferguson Missouri
A memorial to slain teenage thug Michael Brown burned down. According to the
police, candles lit at the memorial probably started the fire, but that didn't
stop supporters of Brown from looting and issuing more threats...
(NRO) The burning of a memorial honoring dead teenager Michael Brown triggered a new round of unrest among Ferguson, Mo. residents, although it may have been candles at the scene that caught on fire.
On Tuesday night, roughly 200 protesters took to the street to express their frustration with the fact that the makeshift memorial had burned. Several outlets reported some began looting a store that was repeatedly raided during last month’s weeks-long demonstrations following Brown’s death at the hands of police officer Darren Wilson.
Detectives investigated what caused the memorial to catch ablaze, and concluded that candles near the memorial likely started the fire. But some residents aren’t buying the police’s explanation and believe it was intentionally lit, with some claiming to have smelled gasoline as it burned.
The memorial was one of two erected to pay tribute to Brown, and residents plan to rebuild the one that burned down.
