    An undetermined number of protesters made it into the building Wednesday while shouting “Shame, shame.”

    The protest march included about 200 people and began with a mock trial of Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson, who shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown. It was held on the steps of the Old Courthouse, the site of the Dred Scott trial.

    More than 100 additional police officers were called to the building and it was locked down.

    A total of 58 people were arrested at area protests overnight, including 45 in Ferguson.

    These are not protesters who are angry at a grand jury decision. They are thugs attacking government at every level they can. Attackers need to be treated with military level defense, and the h*** with the blacks in the Obama administration who want to what Dinkins y”sh did (let them express their anger). NO! They should be confronted with live ammunition. They can march and protest verbally. The second they turn violent, shoot ’em. Make these criminals face what Michael Brown did. Since when is a police officer acting in self defense when being attacked labeled brutality? Shame on Obama, Holder, Sharpton, and the rest of the goons who want to create race wars. They are a disgrace to their race, and to all of America.

    Perhaps Holder y”sh could stop the riots with one statement: If any further rioting tales place anywhere in United States, there will be no further investigation of this as a civil rights issue. I won’t hold my breath.

    All these people attacking gov’t employees and officials should lose the government benefits. This would put an end to these troubling protests rather quickly.

    People went into city hall, chanting “shame, shame.” Hardly seems worth getting upset about.
