I'm fine.

I think I was asleep before 11. I can't stay up late if I'm just sitting here.

CNN is covering it live now as well.

It looks like the protestors are forming a wall and pushing back against police.

CNN is throwing a pity party for one of the protestors that wouldn't follow directions and got hit with rubber bullets.

The media is loving this, and it's pathetic.

Horses and street sweepers for the win.

But NOLA police know how to handle crowds.

CNN is making this seem like they were peaceful. They charged a mcdonalds and started fighting. Gunfire, etc.

I really don't want to see anyone else die, and I fear that it won't be long before it happens. shite escalated very quickly tonight.

What really sucks is that they blocked off the Vice News folks from covering this event. Those folks are plain crazy but do a damn good job at getting both sides of the story out.

They're shooting at the cops now.

I think vice news feed is back. I'm about to go check.

This is not peaceful protests. It looked like spring break with people dancing in the streets and riding on too of cars.

CNN jumped in after the protestors got violent. They're only telling one side of the story.

Why aren't any black people stepping forward and saying how ashamed and embarrassed they are over the behavior of these idiots?

Political correctness aside, at some point you have to call this what it is.

I haven't watched anything, but if what y'all are describing is accurate, I'm ashamed and embarrassed.

They are.
It isn't being covered by the Press, but that is apparently the majority sentiment amongst blacks in Ferguson.

I've been watching a while. It was peaceful then it got bad very quick. They're shooting at cops.

CNN is showing one side. And CPS needs to go take those children away from this shite. Babies in strollers should not be out there.

Eta: The I am Mike Brown feed has been running a while.
