‘Write a check to Darren Wilson’: Supporters of Ferguson cop hawk St. Louis playoff tees

71. A few points.

The post to which I responded contained a long litany of ways to physically attack the t-shirt that included everything short of a strategic nuclear attack. My "hostility" comment was in reference to extended list, and I even included a smiley " " in the subject line to denote the humor. It most certainly had no racial connotations, and I had no knowledge of anyone's race in the thread until any self-identification after the post.

Additionally, although not the point of my original comment, you or anyone else may certainly feel rage, but I believe it to be unhealthy, and if improperly directed, a detriment to the cause we mutually support.

If you were inadvertently offended because of my terminology, I gladly apologize. However, implying that I might support the sentiments in t-shirt because I oppose unlawful and unwise means to silent Wilson supporters is both ridiculous and wholly unacceptable, and I offer no apology for my views concerning free speech (that are in accordance with the Democratic Party and American courts, liberal and conservative, for many decades).
