A 7-11 store located at 201 N. 17th St. in St. Louis was looted and set ablaze by peaceful protesters Monday night who then lay down in the street to prevent firetrucks from reaching the store to put out the fire. The protesters also pushed trash cans into the street to block the firetrucks.

Jesse Bogan with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch tweeted comments by the fire chief, “St. Louis Fire Chief Dennis Jenkerson said protesters blocked fire trucks from responding to the 7-11 fire at Pine and 17th. A few laid down in the street, rolled trash cans in the way, he said. Neighbors from nearby apartment buildings upset, say no more late night snack runs.”
