The utter stupidity of activist minority groups never surprises me.

Imagine driving down the highway and the guy in front of you comes to a complete stop.

this is the most ridiculous thing- all it's going to cause are car accidents..I don't see how it's going to help their cause at all.

If it does happen I sincerely hope the cops are out there writing the troublemakers enormous tickets rather than sitting by and just letting it happen.

What does interfering with highway traffic have to do with some thug who robbed a convenience store, attacked a store clerk, then assaulted a police officer while going for his gun and then ends up dead?

i hope so too- i was reading that they are planning to do this on more than just the highways; basically whatever street they're driving on at 4:30? And if their demands aren't met they will keep doing it every day.

just saw a story on STL Today that at the request of the family it's being postponed. But basically it's still on the table and "when they're ready" they'll tell everyone about it.

I don't see why they will block a major freeway. I think it is taking it too far. There needs to be law enforcement reform and it should have happen 20 years ago.

People are forgetting this is far bigger issue that affects everyone not just the African American community. That is why protesters cross racial lines. If someone drove a tank down your street, you would not be marching?

As far as all the comments about Michael Brown being a thug shows a personal issue of an individual that needs help. Racism is a mental illness!

I really wouldn't mind a tank driving down my street if it were there to protect me from rioting hoodlums. Not at all. Law enforcement really isn't that scary when you live your life the way you're supposed to. You know, stuff like not robbing convenience stores and refraining from assaulting police officers.
