Organizers of the four-day Ferguson October protests dubbed the day “Moral Monday” and committed acts of civil disobedience across the St. Louis region. In addition to the initial march on Ferguson police headquarters, protesters blocked the entrance to a major employer, held a loud rally inside St. Louis City Hall, disrupted business at a Ferguson shopping center and a Wal-Mart and tried to crash a private fundraiser for a St. Louis County executive candidate where Sen.

Wonder where Wilson is hiding? Wonder if there is any such thing as law and order in this country? When you have armed kid killers running around (many of them cops) it really makes you wonder if justice has been lost in this country. Like George Zimmerman walked after killing Trayvon Martin so will Darren Wilson for killing Michael Brown. These protests may soon turn to riots but I will not blame any of the rioters because of this two month travesty of no justice…
