A group of minority hooligans ruined St. Louis' Martin Luther King Day Celebration. This organized mob decided to heckle Mayor Francis Slay over last year's firing of former Fire Chief Sherman George. The reasoning has been explained repeatedly, but these individuals decided to attack Slay on a day set aside to honor King. The attack was finally quieted by George who stepped in and asked the hecklers to stop.
Just think if the roles had been reversed and a group of whites heckled a black speaker. It would have been decried as racism of the worse sort. But the hecklers, all black, just don't get it. In the end they ruined the day for everyone, both blacks and whites.
Given King's peaceful ways I believe he would have been ashamed of the mob mentality displayed by these selfish individuals.
