A group of Ferguson protesters peacefully marching from Saint Louis to Missouri’s capital, Jefferson City, received a less than warm welcome in the Mid-Missouri town of Rosebud, KRCG (Columbia/Jefferson City, Missouri) is reporting.
Led by NAACP president Cornell Williams Brooks, about 50 people participating in the March For Justice met with hecklers — some shouting obscenities — in the Gasconade County town. The Columbia Missourian reports that about 200 people — half the population of Rosebud — showed up for the counter protest, which included a display of fried chicken, a watermelon, and a 40-ounce beer bottle placed in the middle of the street. At least one person carried a Confederate flag.
A boy of about 8 years old was reportedly holding a sign that read “Go Home.” At least one bullet was fired, shooting out the back window of the bus carrying the Ferguson protesters.
Disgusting.. this pissed me off. How can these people be so blatantly racist and be ok with it.. i can't imagine how i would feel as a black person, or even worse, if i lived there.. i am sorry for this behaviour
