Among those in the running to be named Time Magazine’s “Person of the Year” are Ferguson protesters, and according to a poll they are currently in the lead:

TIME’s Person of the Year is selected by the editors but voting from the public, which goes on for another week, is taken into consideration.
@TIME you mean rioters?

@TIME Wait, looters? Can you put "burn this b**** down" as the title?

@TIME Way for people to celebrate rioters, looters and destroyers. Then again, Time did have Hitler and Stalin as man of the year.

@ConservativeMe4 @TIME is not celebrating rioters and looters. They're acknowledging the peaceful protesters brave enough to be out there.

@ReignOfApril Technically yes but Time doesn't always follow the vote. (Last year Abdul Fattah al-Sisi won but the Pope was picked at PofY.)
