From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
Protests turn violent in Delmar Loop late Saturday; second night of post-verdict strife
Unrest in the Loop
Laurie Skrivan [email protected]Second day of protests after Stockley acquitted
David CarsonUNIVERSITY CITY • For the second consecutive night, peaceful daytime protests descended into late-night violence with broken windows and thrown rocks, water bottles and garbage can lids following Friday’s acquittal of a white former police officer in the shooting death of a black suspect.
Shortly before 11 p.m. at Leland and Delmar, a small group of protesters threw chunks of concrete at police and broke windows at numerous Delmar Loop businesses. A chair was thrown through the window of a Starbucks. One protester was seen hitting a police SUV with a hammer.
… As the chaos escalated, scores of police officers in riot gear pushed forward against the demonstrators just after 11 p.m. — about two hours after daytime protest organizers had congratulated their followers on keeping their demonstrations peaceful.
By 11:30, about 200 police officers had pushed most of the protesters out of the area and the violence and vandalism appeared to be dissipating. The sidewalks along the vibrant area of restaurants and shops were strewn with glass from broken windows.
By shortly after 7 p.m. Saturday, more than a thousand protesters carrying “Black Lives Matter” signs and chanting things like “No Justice, No Profits” were blocking the major intersection at Skinker and Forest Park Parkway near Washington University.
Description of the crowd, St Louis Post-Dispatch?
Looks just like the beginning of the movie Detroit. I’m going to just go ahead and assume that an evil white policeman is to blame.
The woman in the photo is clearly just defending herself against that sandwich shop.

Now it’s extra vibrant!
This is very sad for me personally. My father’s brother lived in that exact area and I would stay with them in the summer sometimes. Their street had a little grassy median with benches and when the sun set everyone would come out and chit-chat – there was no crime. There was a real cast of local characters, all completely harmless but each one a little odd or eccentric . No resume polishing yuppie scum nor ghetto trash, just real salt of the earth people.
The upsided that that Nancy Pelosi has shown that a sub-70 IQ is no impediment to national stature, and Chuck Shumer's vile, vicious and vindictive politics earn him political center-stage in the age of post-rational leftism.
I understand why you find this sad. (That's how I feel about Kirkwood, where I spent my childhood at my grandparents' house.) But recalling what the Delmar Skinker area was like forty years ago and seeing this now is pure Schadenfreude for me.Replies: @Dale Gribble

Watching You Tube live streams of the St. Louis protests reveals up close the incoherence of these “anti-racist” protests. Seems as though almost everybody has a “smartphone” or “tablet” to record their virtuous participation and probably about 80-90 percent of the protesters are “good whites” who carry their glossy professionally printed “Black Lives Matter” signs. “F… the Police” is certainly a popular chant!
At one point a videographer asks some fellow protesters if they had been at the Standing Rock anti-Dakota Access Pipeline “protests” (as he had). Seems he travels around from protest to protest documenting the fight against white supremacy. Later the crowd is chanting “Racist Cops Has Gotta Go” and mistakenly starts chanting “Darren Wilson Has Gotta Go” before realizing that they are protesting St. Louis police officer Jason Stockley, and later one goes on a rant about how the police leave their cars along the street so that demonstrators will smash their windows and bring out the “riot cops.” “Good Whites,” breaking glass, “F… the Police,” good to know that “This Is What Democracy Looks Like” (as the protesters chant).
Your description of peace, quiescence, and community just isn’t vibrant or diverse enough for the modern epoch. The powers that be have decreed perpetual hate, war, and cacophony, in order to kill off all the peace, quiescence, and community that might have been enjoyed by the honest people that make this country work.

I’ve concluded that the best solution is racial separation. Most Americans have figured this out already, and are self-segmenting into racial enclaves.

It’s been decades since tbe Delmar Loop was as you describe. By the time I hung out there in the mid to late 70’s, it was already an enclave of artsy-fartsy liberals celebrating diversity.

The 22-year-old man suspected of shooting five middle-aged white men since last year — including four on south Kansas City walking trails — threatened in 2014 to shoot up a school and “kill all white people,” according to court records.
Fredrick Demond Scott, who was charged Tuesday in two killings and named as a suspect in three more, made those statements in January 2014 at Center Alternative School, as documented in a municipal citation for harassment.
Scott, who is black, has been charged with murder in the deaths of Steven Gibbons, 57, and John Palmer, 54. On Tuesday, Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announced those charges, also naming Scott as a suspect in the killings of David Lenox, 67; Timothy S. Rice, 57; and Mike Darby, 61, co-owner of Coach’s Bar & Grill at 103rd Street and Wornall Road.

CCZ, That’s because everyone knows if you take something from the library you have to bring it back or you pay a fine.
A chair was thrown through the window of a Starbucks.
What a shame the Starbucks was closed. It would have been a splendid opportunity for the baristas to start that Conversation About Race that CEO Howard Schulz was promoting.

The book return must’ve been overflowing. Can’t have overdue book fines piling up.
Well, as of about midnight, the St. Louis police jail is overflowing and the fines may be piling up too. Police moved in and did some small “mass arresting” (but not before a “liberal” dose of mace/pepper spray to keep everybody on the ground). After playing games with the police, a good number of “protesters” lost!
Maybe they thought it was a white boys’ frat house.
And they wonder why businesses are reluctant to locate in black areas.

I left St Louis in 1990. Then the Loop’s Eastern edge was Skinker. I have been back a few times and the Loop area of Good White Land extends a few blocks East. They must resent the encroachment.
They very well might. But for the blacks farther north who ride the Metrolink down to the Loop, it just means their hunting ground has expanded.

Thanks and a tip of the hat to LBJ, Obama and many asshats in between.
All this “police are oppressing us!” stuff is easy to fix. *Separate communities*.
Let’s just have black cities, run by blacks, with black cops–no whites allowed. (White cops need to give up this policing the blacks stuff. Go get your fat pensions somewhere else.) And white cities, run by whites, with white cops–no blacks allowed.
Separation … it’s a good thing. Everyone can relax.

It used to be with these “vibrant” manifestation that the sneaker store was the first to be trashed and looted, followed by the jewelry and liquor stores. I am heartened to see Starbucks getting such notice from the vibrant crowd.
It’s the Lord speaking through me. I am but a vessel.
Wow a little diversity sure can go a long way!
IIRC, there was an instance in Iraq where in a particular smaller city was having a problem with daytime protestors turning into night-time rioters. After some study, they finally determined if they kept the falafel vendors out of the town square after 4PM, the daytime protests would remain simply that.
I can’t help but think this might have some kind of utility for dealing with “mostly peaceful protestors” here…
Lol. In case readers did not notice. I’m sure Steve did.

So did Thomas Jefferson — in Notes on the State of Virginia. He had this problem figured out in 1781.

Back then opponents of the nascent project could call it the “hop and rob” without receiving a racism ticket.
A surprising number of whites participating in these events in St. Louis based on some of the video reporting on the scene. I am trying to figure out who these people are. The easy answer is Antifa, OWS types and various mudsharks supporting their baby daddy. But the deeper psychology behind the motivations for these whites to be involved in black only problems fascinates me. I can understand the Trump hate from them but what do they get from rioting about thug shootings? Or is the shooting just a pretense to express their Trump hate? I get the sense that these whites don’t really care about the black issues and are using them for their own self aggrandizement. It is an interesting phenomena.

“When they shelter rioting vibrancy from police they’re “Jews” not “Whites.
When they write “Fellow White people” pieces they’re “Whites” not “Jews.”
I cracked this code a while back, and it infuriates lefty musicologists in my circle to be reminded that those ripping off their revered black musicians were Jews. Running the record labels, arranging publishing deals, programming big city radio stations and promoting live performances/concerts was an enterprise lacking gentiles in significant numbers. Chuck Berry caught on to their game and nipped it in the bud.
As much as I don’t like illegal immigration, I would say San Antonio and El Paso have it way over St Louis. San Ant has a lower poverty rate than New York City and its more native born Latinos than most big towns. I think that we should go more for Latinos since there are many that don’t like illegal immigration. Trump only won 8 percent of the black vote and about 29 percent of the Latino vote.
Perhaps based on perceived similarity to the (public) performance by ‘Mattress Girl’ Emma Sulkowicz.

This should be all the justification we need to make it so that saying “kill all White people” gets you put on a watch list or at the very least gets you banned from Twitter.
If it is like Detroit, the racist outrage that will cause the riot won’t occur for another day or two.
The Delmar Loop is vibrant white hipsterville. Most of the shop owners are likely sympathetic to Antifa/BLM.
They could also be professional agitators on Soros’ payroll.
But there never was any real separation in the first place, that’s the problem. Too many visits to the slave quarters by de massa’ on cold winter nights in search of dark meat killed that idea. These people shouldn’t have been brought here in the first place. Let’s call a spade a spade (no pun intended) and acknowledge that the worst mistake of all was accepting those 20 or so West African slaves from the captain of that Dutch ship that sailed up the James River in 1619–and all because the VA colony planter class wanted the cheap labor. Sound familiar?
I hate to imply that the protesters are exercising a modicum of restraint, but the lack of firearm discharges is notable. Missouri, like Virginia, is a pretty gun-friendly state.
The gun-grabbers always warn us that every disagreement in places less civilized than New York or San Francisco is liable to devolve into a wild-west-style shootout, but that doesn’t happen in these types of riots.
Are these people perhaps marching under rules of engagement set out by George Soros? Wouldn’t it be in his interest to sacrifice a few BLM/Antifa members as cannon fodder to try to advance the gun control agenda on top of all the rest of it? I really don’t understand.
