The Ferguson protest movement targeted ‘The Delmar Loop’ area in University City today. The Loop is just west of the St. Louis city limits.
The mob carried coffins and flowers. Then shut down Delmar Avenue.
The protesters were led by radical organizer Lisa Fithian who held numerous trainings in St. Louis this week. Fithian was a key organizer of the violent demonstrations that caused the shutdown of the 1999 WTO meetings in Seattle, Washington.
They carried coffins.
It’s 30 degrees and snowing in St. Louis.
Brrr.
Police were called in.
The protesters were chanting, “This is what democracy looks like!” and “We shut sh*t down!”

Then the shivering group moved to shut down another intersection.
4.5 mins of silence. #ferguson https://t.co/YgbTmycSYl

So how long will the protesters allow Fithian to lead them around in the snow and cold?
