Rams fans and Ferguson protesters fought Sunday afternoon outside the Edward Jones Dome after the Rams secured a victory over the visiting Seattle Seahawks.

At around 3 p.m. a handful of fans argued with protesters, who were yelling and chanting, near the intersection of North Broadway and Cole streets.

The yelling escalated, a fan appeared to spit on one of the protesters and he was then struck on the head, at which point a melee ensued and punches were thrown.

At one point during the scuffle, a protester carrying an upside-down American flag used the pole as a weapon, attempting to strike a fan.

As a Hawks fan, that game was painful to watch.

However, finding out that Rams fans were willing to stand up to those “protesters” takes all the sting out of it, and then some.

Helter Skelter > Whitey Wins

33% of Whitey no fighty. 33% of Whitey will take the side of the people looking to kill them. The rest live where whitey (for now) lives exclusively with other whiteys.

Let's pretend for a moment your math is correct.

If 33% of 'Whiteys' are not cowards, that is still double the ENTIRE black population in the US.

Think about it.

These people are so stupid they think Brown was in the right. UCMYU

At this point, a video of Brown torching an orphanage wouldn't change their minds.
