Shortly after Missouri Gov Jay Nixon called in the National Guard to assist with the rioting in Ferguson, protesters responded by storming Gov Nixon´s office chanting “The National Guard has got to go”
Protestors in Ferguson took their rioting and looting to a new level on Monday when they attempted to storm the office of Governor Jay Nixon, calling him out for the use of the National Guard in heeding off violence.
These protestors began marching towards Governor Nixon’s office this afternoon.
Reporters on the scene were able to capture photos of the protestors attempting to knock open the doors as law enforcement officials scrambled to keep the doors shut, preventing the protestors from storming the building.
Early Monday morning, Governor Nixon had announced that he would be using the National Guard after protests Sunday night turned for the worse, with Molotov cocktails being thrown at police and law enforcement responding by throwing tear gas canisters into the crowd. In a Monday afternoon press conference from the White House, President Obama said that he supported “limited” use of the National Guard to restore calm and order.
This woman was arrested after allegedly blocking the door of the governor’s office.
Many protests have turned violent and led to a curfew over the weekend, which did not go smoothly. Many people did not follow the curfew, which led to more run-ins with police officers. The situation continues to worsen, and it does not appear that any peaceful resolution will occur anytime soon.

“violence being used against humans for taking things. Things that are insured against loss.
Won;t the insurance money be good for business(s) in this down market?
Seems to me these people are actively trying to make the change for America that many others just talk about.”

The worlds screwed up to worry about race. I disagree with all the looting an what not. But our government an so called POTUS an his “administration” need to realize that WE the ppl are nothin to mess with. Yes some of these rioters are probably not the best ppl to associate with such as the looters. But the majority are actually there to send a message to our government treating us as if we are going to gracefully lay down arms an obey their every command. Yes this situation got outta hand in many aspects but what if we can’t put aside differences then how can we move forward to better out nation? This isn’t the same world a lot of generations grew up in. But it’s the one we are facing. Of course you wanna be patriotic. I do to I believe in our nation an want it to grow an be strong. I agree with all of our constitutional rights and excise them in my day to day life. I encourage others to do the same if they are to afraid exercise them now. If we keep a narrow mindset about petty things such as the color of ones skin. How can we build a better future for our future generations if we are held back by petty differences.
So rise up and stand with your people. You’re all rooting for the wrong side. These people are crying for revolution. Stand with them. FIGHT THE POWER! GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Why are these people called protestors? They aren’t protesting they are criminals committing acts of violence and breaking the law.
