I live in St. Louis (U. City the ethnic melting pot of MO) also and have been most saddened by what's going on in Ferguson. It is disheartening the way those protesting have been exhibiting provoking behavior. The looting, the destruction of local businesses what a mess and some of it is being done by those who do not even live in Ferguson. They are criminals and used this opportunity to took advantage. Stay safe.

What they failed to report is these individuals have been asked to move along and go home. The so called catch phrase is the rioters raise their arms and say don't shoot as they approach the officers and try to provoke them. The worst part is the people rioting don't even live in Ferguson they are coming from the inner city. My quilt guild meets at a church in Fergsuon and today we will decide if we are canceling our meeting next or not. It's really sad how this community is being torn apart. Thanks for thinking of me. - - Kathy
