"Many of us have received death threats toward ourselves and our families," said one speaker, wearing sunglasses, paint beneath her eyes and a baseball cap. "We will not hide. We will no longer live in fear … If you support Darren Wilson, make your voices heard."
She refused to give the media her name, saying "You want my name? I am Darren Wilson. We are Darren Wilson.
The media has shown a strong bias against Wilson supporters, the speaker said, drawing loud applause from the crowd.
This is justice of a kind, but the real story is the seemingly unbridgeable cultural division between large parts of Black America and the rest of the country, and the way the media fans and encourages this division. Whether Officer Wilson will ever be able to resume a normal life in any part of America with any significant black population remains to be seen, but perhaps he can take heart that Mr. Zimmerman seemingly has been able to move on from the slander poured on him from this same media.
Hat tip: Weasel Zippers
There are states where Ofcr. Wilson can live a normal life around normal people. You need only look at the electoral map and pick one.
