In Missouri tonight, groups of protesters are shutting down WalMart and Target stores. They are doing it by marching through the stores and chanting. As a result, some of the stores have just shut down, or else stopped making sales. The protesters are causing no property damage, but are still monitored closely by the police.

Dozens of people have interrupted holiday shopping at major retail stores around the St. Louis area to speak out about a grand jury's decision not to indict the officer who fatally shot Michael Brown.
The protests began Thanksgiving night and continued early Friday. Protesters spent a few minutes at each store, shouting inside as law enforcement stood watch. There was no immediate word of any arrests.
Target store is shut down.
So far, the police have been peaceful. Let's hope they remain that way.
Stay home tomorrow. Eat leftovers. Put up a Christmas Tree. Do anything but shop.
