Cardinals Fans Get Ugly In Clash With Ferguson Protesters

This guy right here, the one with "I am Darren Wilson" taped onto the back of his Cardinals jersey—an homage to the Ferguson, Mo., police officer who shot an unarmed teenager named Mike Brown to death in August—was at the Cardinals game last night. He, along with many other Cardinals fans, clashed with a small group of protesters who want to see Wilson prosecuted. The guy in the Darren Wilson jersey wasn't even the worst part.

Here is a video of some of the protest from last night, via Argus Streaming News. It's rather long, so I'll point out some of the egregious cases of Cardinals fans being sh**ty below.

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

· We start off with a bang. At about the 22-second mark, an old white Cardinals fan begins telling the protesters—all of whom appear to be black—that they need to get jobs. He looks right in the camera, proudly, and says, "That's right! If they'd be working, we wouldn't have this problem!"

· At about the 1:30 mark, the crowd of Cardinals fans begin drowning out the protesters' chants with a "Let's go Cardinals!" chant. Well, they could be saying worse things...

· At the 2:40 mark, they start saying much worse things. The "Let's go Cardinals!" chant has turned into a "Let's go Darren!" chant. Cool....

The backlash is starting?

Memo to Ferguson, MO: The fifteen minutes are up.

[doc1019]

Not if the various Revs can make a buck out of it.

[GeronL]

Let us hope this becomes more and more common. Shout back at the shouters.

[Defiant]

Cardinals fans do not like the race hustlers trying to hijack their enjoyment of their team in the playoffs.

[skeeter]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

To me, Card fans are fine, its the Fergeson protestors who got ugly.

[onedoug]

Hey guys, it’s a baseball game.

[ilgipper]

White people can have no opinion, apparently. Defending a policeman who ALL evidence points to justified action is just outrageous according to Deadspin.

What a world we live in.

Only thing that could possible deemed over the top is the ‘go get jobs’ comment. It may or may not be accurate, but can certainly be criticizing for stereotyping.

[Vendome]

Bat that one, out of the park!

[Norm Lenhart]

Where were they before their personal ‘enjoyment’ of something was disrupted?

Typical of today. “Let the country go to hell but don’t disrupt my recreation.”

[Rome2000]

Missourians can get in your face racist pretty quick if messed with, and the Ferguson idiots are sure messin with them big time.

[ozzymandus]

Apparently this is from some sports blog, and the writer is a leftie. TS.

[Norm Lenhart]

Well, water seeks it’s own level. It they want to pull the race card and push racial crap, they will get it back in their faces eventually. No one to blame but themselves for causing it.

I for one am rooting for an I-70 Series. Go Royals!

I for one am rooting for an I-70 Series. Go Royals!

One of the guys on the Ticket said that would be Fox's worst nightmare (Joe Buck notwithstanding) from a ratings and revenue standpoint.

"Hey guys, it’s a baseball game."

Yeah, but not being one much for baseball, this was probably the high note of the night!

I get my stories from where I can get them.

The FBI and other sources homicide by law enforcement figures below include the majority of all police departments.

The point of this reply is to point out that whites are the most likely to die while being arrested for example.

The Obama-Holder U.S. Dept. Just Us and the race-grievance industry will of course exploit all shootings to the max vis-a-vis race more than any concern for the poor victim.

The ARD data show that whites are more likely to die while being arrested and IMO there is no doubt that some of those deaths were the intention of the police.

What about the larger number of whites and Arrest-Related Deaths (ARD)? Why is that okay with Obama, the race-grievance industry, and the media? We never see coverage of questionable ARDs involving whites that's anything close to Ferguson for example.

Especially what about Ms Carey the young woman chased, surrounded and gunned down by federal agents in D.C.? Where's Obama-Holder caring about her and her baby? She was a young black woman. Why is she ignored?

To me this shows that it is not a racial thing. It happens to all races. These figures however do not show those thought "murdered" by police. I have not yet located data for recent years. Why can't I find data for recent years? I do not know.. maybe the Dept of Just Us and Race-Grievance Industry don't want it known that whites are the most likely to die being arrested.

[Rome2000]

Absolutely.

Race and class war is a two-way street.

The lawless minorities and their CPUSA handlers are going to have to be dealt with, just takes the right person to lead the way.
