Mahatma Gandhi's grandson has blasted the shooting of Michael Brown and 109 other people in St Louis this year.

Addressing hundreds of mothers gathered at a silent march today, Dr Arun Gandhi condemned prejudice in the city as a source of the violence, which has seen a 30 per cent leap in the number of annual homicides this year.

His words came amid fresh outcry over Michael Brown's shooting as it emerged the police officer who killed him has presented a favorable account of his actions - in a move that could see him escape charges.

'We have looked at it only as racism, and racism is a byproduct of prejudice,' he said, St Louis Public Radio reported.

'Prejudice exists in every one of us, whether we are black, white, brown, yellow.

'Whatever our color, wherever we come from, we have prejudice. It is those prejudices that spawn these kinds of byproducts like racism and gender disparities and homophobia.'

Rev Traci Blackmon addressed the crowds to list all 110 slain citizens since January this year before releasing balloons into the sky.

Well, apparently liberals want to pile on, with various other liberal causes and liberal grievance groups.

Too many cops are victims of prejudice.

There’s far more prejudice against the police officer, IMHO.

Call it prejudice all you wish, just remember there are reasons for it.

Civil and criminal actions tend to command one's attention.

This opportunist didn't utter his imbecilities in India, where he would have been run down, tarred and feathered.

The story is out of London, (UK) and the cited rally was in the US somewhere, presumably.

Deliberately, it's not made clear where he uttered the liberal moronics words.

The wise rabbi once said, "slaves never dream of being free; they dream of being masters."

I might add, by actually learning to deserve it, or by violently criminal means. The ends still justify the means for the terminally ignorant.

“Mahatma Gandhi's grandson”

err...No problems in India he can address?
Or is he just trying to raise his personal public online profile to some sort of profitable international relevancy?

Ah shit. Not another leftist Gandhi putz.

If India isn’t one of the biggest sites of prejudice and even hate killings, then who is. Sikhs, Hindus, Moslems, Commies, tribal groups, Upper Caste, Lower Caste, Untouchables, Third Worlders, modern Worlders, and the Mumbai Massacre.
