People show support for officer Wilson with blue porch lights

[davidn3600]

Porch lights — many of them illuminating blue — are being left on in St. Louis and across the country in a show of support for the Missouri police officer who shot and killed an unarmed young man 10 days ago.

“Walmart in Desoto, Mo was out of blue bulbs,” Brian Christopher commented on the “Support Darren Wilson” Facebook page. “I'll take this as a magnificent sign of support!”

While protests and unrest sparked by the death of Michael Brown have captured the nation’s attention, grassroots campaigns backing the officer who killed him are gaining ground.

At least a half a dozen pro-Wilson pages have popped up on Facebook in recent days. Combined, the pages are approaching 100,000 likes. An online campaign to help the Wilson family with “any financial needs they may have including legal fees” has taken in nearly $40,000 in two days.

1. Why am I not surprised it's Walmart that is sold out?

Are the local fabric stores sold out out white sheet-cloth too?

[Bettie]

6. Nope...they have that at Walmart too!

One stop shopping for all your white supremacist needs! Should be their new tagline for advertising in that region.

2. I realize that taking out these lights with a BB gun is definitely not an option

However, it does make a nice thought for a while.

3. OK, then how about hands up whenever you see a cop?

To show solidarity in demanding justice for Michael Brown, put your hands in the air whenever you see a cop.

4. Makes it easier to spot and identify all the racists

I support this.

12. Simple things like facts don't matter at all to these idiots

Every word of that dipshit's post was assertions and assumptions, with a lie or two thrown in for added spice.

Racists aren't exactly known for their astute thinking

[NutmegYankee]

13. This is awesome!

In the past you had to actually talk to a person to determine they were racists. Now they freely advertise it right on the house! A blue light means "warning -a racist white power domestic terrorist scumbag lives here".

[mmonk]

14. +1

15. Great. Blue light bigotry.
