Around here more people can tell you what happened in the Alabama-Auburn football game than...
what happened in Ferguson. Also, probably more people attended that one football game yesterday, than there are people protesting yesterday.
Those who do know have little to no sympathy.
Basically the message isn't getting out in a way that makes the average person empathize with protesters.
Fox News and other conservative news/radio has a lot to do with that. These aren't bad folks where I live, they just don't get unbiased information. Their hearts and minds can be changed.
We need a new Fairness Doctrine if there is ever going to be change though. Now is a good time to push Obama for it.
