This whole episode amplifies a serious problem in our so-called civilized society. A white cop kills a violent black thug and the lynch parties immediately start forming without any real regard for truth or justice. All many need to know is the skin color of those involved in order to draw their conclusions of guilt. Wilson was immediately labeled a racist and the mob latched onto every lie which substantiated and rationalized their hatred, as if Wilson somehow represented the epitome of their struggle against white racist oppression. But the facts tell us that this didn't have anything to do with racism. This whole episode boils down to irrational people lashing out and getting carried away by emotions and pent up hatred. To this day, they have no shame or even a remote understanding that their hate was misguided and instead choose to still believe in disproven lies that "rationalize" their incredibly twisted and depraved world view. I weep for humanity.
