Supporters of officer that shot Brown are lovely people who are not at all racist

Supporters of officer Darren Wilson hold placards outside Barney's Sports Pub in St. Louis, Missouri August 23, 2014. No arrests were recorded overnight, marking three consecutive relatively calm nights for the St. Louis suburb following daily unrest sinc


Another anecdote from that weekend rally to support the officer that shot Michael Brown: Did we mention that it's not about racism, no sir, can't imagine where you got that idea?
While CNN was talking to pro-Wilson demonstrators, a local resident, Victor Dewan, came by to tell the rally to go home, that he doesn't want trouble in his neighborhood. "We don't want any controversy. There's a lot of black people live around here and I want for the peace. Let them get out of here. We don't want this street to be any violent," said Dewan.
But as he voiced his displeasure, divisions here became apparent once more, with protesters telling Dewan that it is their First Amendment right to protest, and telling him they are U.S. citizens.
Dewan replied that he is a U.S. citizen, too. Then one protester told him to learn to speak English.
"I am speaking English," Dewan said.
"I am speaking English do you understand that?! Stupid jack***, do you understand that?!" a protester yelled at Dewan.

now White supporters come to an obviously Black neighborhood and taunt the residents with signs and radical rhetoric, when calmly asked to leave that no trouble was sought they insult and true to their color create the scenario of a riot which I'm sure would have been blamed on Dewan.
 by saying things like shoot and waving signs it sends the message that hate is alive a well in America.
