What’s more telling, and disturbing, than the above article, or this one at LancasterOnLine, “Penn Square protest: Michael Brown decision spurs dozens to chant, march, block city traffic” about the protests are the comments following each.So many of the comments reveal that a scratch in the egalitarian veneer shows blatant racism in words and images. Take a look at the “gentler” comments on LNP-Always Lancaster‘s facebook page post about the protest. There’s so much vitriol; so many inaccuracies, and open hatred and sheer misunderstanding about the grand jury decision.

The grand jury decision did not say that the shooter was innocent – the grand jury simply mirrored what had happened in St. Louis County when there were police shootings of citizens.
