The Smashing Pumpkins play #Ferguson

Heh, indeedy:

As The Post's Mark Berman has snarkily noted, the pumpkin festival debacle "was reminiscent of Ferguson, one might say, if one was willing to equate years of simmering tension finally boiling over with a bunch of college kids setting things on fire."

That has not been lost on people in Missouri. On Monday, a group of protesters armed with pumpkins descended upon the St. Louis Justice Center, a common site for post-Ferguson demonstrations. St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter Steve Giegerich was on the scene, and reported that two people were arrested.

One of the protesters wrote on Twitter: "We have pumpkins. We are not armed." Stay tuned. The American Autumn is just beginning.
