This is an open thread for the Ilk to keep everyone posted on what’s going on around the country on the off-chance that there turns out to be a reason that 2,200 troops needed to be stationed around Ferguson.
I tend to doubt anything too crazy will happen; the rioters obviously know that the police and the National Guard are going to crack down hard and fast if they get too far out of hand. They’re just looking to act up, posture for the cameras, and loot a little bit, they’re not actually looking for a fight.
