For more than three months, the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, Mo., has been targeted by violent protesters and looters upset over the police shooting that resulted in the death of Mike Brown.
Despite the fact that subsequently released evidence indicates that Officer Darren Wilson’s account of the incident was accurate, the Ferguson Police Department continues to face bitter backlash by disruptive activists.
As a grand jury prepares to determine whether Wilson should face charges related to the August shooting, Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon recently declared a state of emergency ahead of a potential spike in violence throughout the community. The protests continue even during the jurors’ deliberation, however, with activists like Elizabeth Vega leading demonstrations this week.
Among Twitter posts describing the protests and disparaging authority figures, Vega informed her social media followers that her car was stolen in the aftermath of one such demonstration.
My car got stolen today it is 1998 green saturn with two Umsl stickers in the rear window tweet me if you see it.

The perceived irony of Vega losing her vehicle as her cohorts curse
those who could assist in its recovery was not lost on numerous Twitter
users.
