I have felt that a liberal coating of fire ants would be good for their riot gear.

They are all working from the same play book. There is a central agency directing this. DHS?

Two groups met up and they're chanting -- but the stream keeps cutting out and I can't tell much of what's happening. I'm watching Rebelutionary_Z.

The white shirt was there. When they said that people from the DOJ were with them, that's when they turned. White shirt refused to speak.

The UNIVERSITY JUST JOINED THEM! A COUPLE THOUSAND STUDENTS! ! AWESOME

That's the 1st link in the op. I still don't know who that is though. I wonder if it's Brittany. She's short.

He is down right now, as he needed a break. Went thru the march, up to the face-off with the pigs. Pigs backed down. St Louis Univ tried to keep protesters off its property, but they finally marched around the security guard and carried on. Now they are all gathered at the fountain on campus. If he isn't back up yet, try again in a few. This guy is the most reliable of the ustreamers.

The security guard from USL actually invited them in!

I have been on his all night. His and the one Liberal put up. They were at opposite sides so you could hear the guard on the other.

Once they got in, 2000 students joined!

The father of Vonderrit Myers spoke and he works for the USL.

I am really sorry you missed that. Was the most exhilarating part of the night.

Weren't those cops just disgusting?!

Sorry, his and this one https://stringwire.com/watch/_EUt

I didn't hear the security guard invite them in. I definitely was watching Z, though. Didn't skip around. Tonight's march is great. I seen a guy who looked ALLOT like Jeremy Scahill! Z never would get in front of the "look-alike" so I could tell if it was really him. Later...

And I agree, he's great! There were quite a few celebrities there today. Wasn't skipping around at that point. Had one on my phone and one on my ipad.

Sweet dreams

I should have gone even not being able to afford hotel. Just staying awake watching anyway.

I have a heart sinking feeling, this will make no difference. The cops, St Louis especially, haven't changed at all and don't care if the whole world sees their aggression. And no governmental body is doing a damn thing . about it.
