... Really? How incredibly obtuse can people be? This is the kind of childish knee-jerk lashing out I would expect from a spoiled 4th grader sitting in traffic behind his mom in the car being made late for soccer practice, NOT a mature adult in possession of even a passing familiarity with US civil rights history.

I can only echo the sentiments of at least one commenter on this thread and agree that there do appear to be some assholes on the loose -- and they ain't the protesters.
