And so the Worm Turns -- Racial Violence Plaguing St. Louis


Just a day after I blogged about absolutely no progress being made in St. Louis on the race relations front and comparing our city's racial tension to the contrasting racial harmony, relatively speaking of course, that exists in the other side of the state in Kansas City, more ugliness rears its head.
A MetroLink passenger captured video of a black passenger yelling at a white one (to me the dialogue in the video is inaudible), but the white victim later told police that the black assailant asked the white victim what his opinion was on the Mike Brown case. His answer of "I haven't thought much about it," sends the black man into a physical rage where he is seen on camera betting the white victim about the face and upper body with punch after punch.
The video is very disturbing and you can see it all here, along with the Fox2 report on the activities.
Our city is in a very bad place right now with no signs of it getting better. Its sickening that we as a society are allowing this to happen. Something must be done.
