Racists Riot at Ole Miss University over Obama's victory!

http://www.wmctv.com/story/20025451/riots-brew-on-ole-miss-campus
Photos show huge group of people on the campus, some even lighting Obama-Biden signs on fire in response to the presidential election results.

Ole Miss journalism student Margaret Ann Morgan posted to Twitter, "Onlookers say people- black, white, etc- throwing rocks at cars."

She continued, "Students of all races yelling on rebel drive. Lots of racial slurs."

Morgan also mentioned she is ashamed at what she saw and heard on her campus following the election.


Keep it classy, Ole Miss...

some photos can seen here, including the guy burning the political sign. http://storify.com/actionnews5/riots-brew-at-ole-miss

Having lived in Louisiana, I am a little familiar with the way things are over there- though in all honesty I have been to McComb and Cleveland and didn't have any problems.

These kids will grow up one day and regret their actions. I'm just glad no one got hurt or killed.

The more virulently right-wing the Rethugs act, the more they are rejected by normal, reasonable Americans.

Let 'em keep doing things like this and even Mississippi may turn blue.
