Oath Keepers return to Ferguson, fueling racial tension

Oath Keepers On Black Lives Matter

InfoWars could not be reached for immediate comment.

About 150 people have been arrested so far during several days of protests. Police said Tuesday that 22 people were arrested overnight in Ferguson and another 63 were arrested for trying to block a highway a few miles out of town. On Monday, 57 people were arrested for breaching barricades that blocked a federal court in St. Louis.

There were no shots fired and no burglaries, looting or property damage during the protest along West Florissant Avenue on Tuesday, county police spokesman Shawn McGuire said. The thoroughfare was the focus of months of massive protests last summer after the killing of Brown by a white Ferguson police officer, Darren Wilson.

On Monday night, no smoke or tear gas was used, and no police or civilians reported injuries, McGuire said in a statement. By 1 a.m., the crowd and police were heading home. He said approximately 23 arrests were made, though police were still confirming official totals.

On late Sunday, however, a protest in the same area was interrupted by gunfire and a police shooting that left an 18-year-old suspect critically injured.

The violence set Ferguson on edge and had protest leaders worried that tensions could escalate. St. Louis County Executive Steve Stenger declared a state of emergency that authorized the county to take control of police emergency management in and around Ferguson.

Luke Bryan knows what its like to deal with heartache and what its like to have every detail of your life scrutinized. The Kick the Dust Up singer says that his wishes for his famous friends Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert, who announced their divorce in late July, are simple.

A divorce out of the public eye is a tremendous thing to have to deal with, so when theyre in the public eye, you just hope theyre doing good and you hope theyre happy at the end of the day, Bryan tellsEntertainment Tonight.

The country star adds that he and Shelton, who have hosted the ACM Awards together since 2013, have talked a little bit. Back in 2010, Bryan and Lambert toured together, on Lamberts Roadside Bars and Pink Guitars Tour.

At the end of the day, I want people happy, Bryan tells Extra. In my life, Ive dealt witha lot of permanent loss, where you know you cant get people back, and I just always pray certainly in Blake and Mirandas case that theyll be happy, ya know, however, whatever shakes out, and anybody goingthrough that.

Bryans sister Kelly unexpectedlypassed awayin 2007; her husband, Bryans brother-in-law,died unexpectedly in late 2014. Bryan also lost his brother, Chris, in a car accident in 1996.

I mean, life is precious and short, Bryan continues, and you need tofind that happy place and get there.

Bryan released his new album,Kill the Lights, on Aug. 7. It is available through iTunes, Amazon and Target.

You may remember her as the Grease stars gorgeous braces-wearing daughter, but these days she is engaged to be married and looks very, very different.

She debuted blonde locks on the red carpet as well as a cropped sequined top displaying her ample bust and flat stomach.

In 2013 she was treated for alcohol and cocaine addiction, Chloe told Woman"s Day at the time: "I was using most days and nights. And not only was I doing coke, I was drinking vodka heavily also. I had to combine the two," however nowadays the aspiring singer seems much happier and healthier.

Last year she told her instagram followers, "For anyone out there struggling with addiction. I feel you. Keep your sobriety. You never regret not drinking"

Shawn Mendes Helping to Spread Messages of Positivity and Hope

Shawn Mendes - Aftertaste

Shawn Mendes is helping to spread messages of both positivity and hope in an effort to help people. On Instagram, the singer posted a message to his followers with his observations over thee course of the past year, according to The Huffington Post. In the message he talks about bringing back the Notes From Shawn campaign and how he has seen both his friends and fans dealing with depression. His goal is to help combat the issues in any way he possibly can. Also in the post, the singer says that sometimes all it takes to make a difference is to leave a positive note for someone in order to change their entire day.

The purpose of these little notes is to boost confidence in others and help to reduce instances of self-harm. Mendes campaign is running on the DoSomething.org website and uses #NotesFromShawn to help spread the word. On the DoSomething.org site, the problem, the solution and also what one gets are all explained. This campaign was apparently inspired by his songs Stitches and Life of the Party. This is the second year that Mendes has returned to the mission of spreading love and hope. A major component of the Notes From Shawn campaign is to help combat low self-esteem issues which help contribute to rampant self-harm.

On the site, the solution to the problem is to spread positive messages to decrease negative thoughts. People who sign up to help apparently get an exclusive selfie from Mendes himself. Plus, when an individual does sign up, they will get ideas on how they can help others raise their self-esteem, while also learning how to be a part of the singers mission.

A relaunch of the Notes From Shawn campaign occurred on Aug. 4, 2015. Since then, there have been more than 26,000 people who have signed up in order to participate. Fans of the singer, known as the Mendes Army, wasted no time in joining forces and sharing the notes they created, while also spreading the word about the campaign itself.

On Twitter, the #NotesFromShawn message can be found attached to pictures showcasing fans posting their notes, or pictures of the notes themselves. Some people are using sticky notes and others just small pieces of paper to spread cheer. Based on the Tweets with pictures, people are putting pictures on doors, on street signs and anywhere else they might make an impact. No matter where the notes are going, it seems that Mendes campaign of positivity is in full swing.
