Long after the concert started, cars were backing up for miles. Still trying to get in. It is insane. Ive been in this crud for over two hours. Right here at candlestick.

President obama called for calm reflection in the wake of the verdict, and many people that i talk to here right now say theyre here to do just that. That was sadly not the case last night when protestors broke windows, spray painted cars, and vandalized a police squad car. Business owners today are cleaning up.

Frustrate for all of the work that people have put into since the beginning of the trial. In addition to the protests here at broadway and 14th, there was a Smaller Group gathered at 73rd and international boulevard. Watch out for possible t
