As part of the store’s grand opening, it was giving away free hair extensions valued between $55 and $100. Shoppers started lining up Friday morning and by 8:30 a.m. there were several dozens of people in line. Pushing and shoving occurred and a pregnant woman was pushed down.

In surveillance video, Orlando police is spotted trying to get the crowd to back up and when they wouldn’t back up, at least two officers started to use pepper spray on the crowd.
Several shoppers tell Local 6 they believe the police overreacted. The Department defended the officer’s actions.
“The officers attempted to gain control of the crowd and restore order however they were unsuccessful, therefore they sprayed over the heads of the crowd to gain control,” a department spokesperson said in an email to Local 6.
The video shows one officer spraying at eye level. There were no injuries.

Mom says 18-year-old baby Vonderrit was eating a sandwich and contemplating which college classes would be better – considering his recently edited white paper on Gravitational Inconsistencies as applied to Quantum theory. 
A local politician, Senator Nasheed, says the police walked up to Vonderrit while he was kneeling down in prayer and shot him in the back of the head.  
There appears to be a disconnect in here somewhere;  somewhere between reality and a new flat screen TV...
ST. LOUIS • An autopsy has shown that Vonderrit Myers Jr. was shot from five to seven times during a fatal encounter with an off-duty police officer Wednesday, police sources said.
Sen. Jamilah Nasheed suggested at a press conference earlier today that the teen had been shot in the back of the head, but medical examiners did not find any gunshots to the back of Myers’ head, police sources said.
There were seven wounds to the teen’s body, five of which are clearly bullet holes. Investigators still are trying to determine if the other wounds are exit wounds, sources said. (read more)
Here’s a brief backstory on Vonderrit Myers -and- Here is the official police account of the shooting: (more…)

Last night another black 18-year-old male was shot by an off-duty white Police Officer working a security job.

The Ferguson mob quickly ran to Saint Louis in an attempt to use the opportunity and drum up another racial incident of an innocent black child shot by racist white cop. Toward that end they were selling the story of a black child armed only with a sandwich.

Teyonna Myers, 23, of Florissant, said Myers was her cousin.
“He was unarmed,” Teyonna Myers said. “He had a sandwich in his hand, and they thought it was a gun. It’s like Michael Brown all over again.”

And that’s how the nonsense starts with this crowd.   They immediately used the useful rumors to attack police cars, spit on the police, throw bricks and bottles, smash windows and cause general chaos.  It’s apparently all the perpetually aggrieved know to do….

Another uncomfortable event the national media will try to avoid….

(Via Breitbart) Memphis, Tennessee suffered another attack by a rampaging mob of black teenagers after they flooded the streets after a local high school football game Friday.
The mob of some 40 teens flooded into the street near inner city Central High School on Friday, September 26 just after the end of the game.

A witness to the rampaging mob, Sharon Mourning, said she wished she were armed at the time. “Had I had been armed we would have had a lot of kids laying in the Bellevue street that night,” she said.
The laughing, screaming teenagers waded into the street throwing bricks at cars, jumping on them and damaging them, and accosting pedestrians. (more…)

This Kmart store was looted during the August riots. This is a typical consequence by corporate businesses as they view “high risk” neighborhoods and communities. The operational risks, crime, lawsuits, et al, are too high to remain in business – and the actuaries recommend closure.

In addition Gateway Pundit shares – On Wednesday, Missouri State Highway Patrol Captain Ron Johnson told reporters the QuikTrip convenience store that burned down would rebuild in Ferguson.

Not True. QuikTrip has no plans to rebuild in Ferguson, Missouri. A QuikTrip representative wrote The Gateway Pundit on Friday in response to Captain Johnson’s comments:

“Thank you for asking. It is not accurate. QuikTrip has not made a decision in regards to the store in Ferguson.

Trying to Manage/Police A Cultural Safari Park

Notes:
•  Johnson unable to understand residents who find more pride in destroying community than living in it. A culture of community pride is non-existent amid a significant portion of the residents and those view a greater value, greater personal credibility, in destroying it.
•  No outside agitators, these are Ferguson residents.
•  Mike Brown “shrine” was recorded burning for 11 minutes and could have easily been initially put out with simple cup of water. The person recording did not want to put it out and then went door to door saying the police started it. (more…)

A couple began filming when they observed several black males beating a woman in the back of an SUV on a street in Saint Louis. The perpetrators noticed the couple capturing them on video and attacked the couple, who eventually defended themselves with mace while continuing to film.

From The Video – At 7:13 pm on Thursday, September 18, 2014, my partner and I were walking south on South Grand Blvd. in St. Louis, and we observed a white Chevy Blazer (license plate: EG8T3M) at the Pestalozzi St. intersection with both its back doors open and two black males blocking the open doors. A woman was trapped inside the car, and at least one of the males was punching her. […] There were at least six witnesses of the incident, and no one reported seeing the backseat passenger escape. If you recognize anyone or any clues in the accompanying video, please call the St. Louis Police Department’s 3rd District at (314) 444-2500 with your information. The person who was in the back of the car may still be in danger.  (more)

One of the more remarkable things witnessed last week in Ferguson Missouri was the September 9th city council meeting. A lengthy line of speakers took turns with the microphone casting aspersions toward the Mayor, and city council members.

Those who watched the meeting noticed a similar demand from two-thirds of the speakers: “lower the cost of breaking the law“.
One angry young chap stood up to say he was offended by a fine he received ($200) for spitting on a police officer. In his view the fine was limiting his constitutional freedoms. According to the heavily tattooed citizen: “I don’t have all my freedoms n shit, that’s fuckin’ bullshit”, he proclaimed.

Dozens of residents spoke of their outstanding arrest warrants which come as a result of their running afoul of municipal ordinances, city rules, or police laws. Apparently hundreds of local rioters were additionally incensed at the tickets they encountered while hurling Molotov cocktails and bricks. (more…)
