[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1199308, member: 4362"] Good point and you are absolutely correct. There were about two or three people who were definitely racists but the rest just fell into that mob mentality and joined the lynch crew. This mob mentality is a dangerous thing and with social media its something we need to be careful of. I don't know how many of you have seen the testimonies of the witnesses in Ferguson but I think all should do so. One witness was three blocks away. Another was watching television and viewed parts of the incident from his window but missed other parts because he went back to watching television. Who among us would go back to watching Oprah or the Dukes of Hazard with this going on in front of our house? IMO, this testimony is BS and akin to claiming he had never shyt in his paints. Deepsouth, you bring out a great point in that it doesn't take but a few racists in a group to turn the group into a lynch mob where you have otherwise good people who turn into a pack of dogs.
