because if they did it in a park then there would be no mention of it anywhere

There has been plenty of coverage of this already. So I guess there are no limits of the inconvenience they can cause to others as long as they get their news coverage?

He ends up getting shot, which is pretty normal considering he went for an officer's gun. Someone usually dies, either of cop or the criminal. In this case the criminal dies. Now people protest that? Really? What a joke! The US is falling for media hype that is for sure. Just look at the facts. Michael Brown was a thug, plain and simple. He went for a cop's gun. Once you do that, you are going to be shot or going to be a cop killer. Take you pick. Now morons are protesting? lol
Do you really believe that anyone in this case was telling the whole truth? I sure don't . I tend to study human nature, and I think I have a pretty good idea of what went down there, but it's not my circus, not my monkey, so I'm not going to get my knickers in a bunch over it.

and there had been all kinds of local media coverage in the days leading up to the protest and when and where it would occur...
  • anybody that goes out shopping on the Saturday before Christmas is a moron
  • anybody who went to the MOA that day was ignorant beyond belief and their gifts likely suck
  • the store workers recieved a few hour reprieve from having to deal with these buffoons

You are such a rude poster.
And
By your posts you come off as such an unhappy angry person.
Post your thoughts and ideas with some dignity and grace, and maybe people will listen.

They say they are going after the organizers and they should.

They owe the merchants money for closing their stores and the missed business.
