This was updated after the story was posted. It has been updated twice since I first read the original story. Don't jump to conclusions on the OP....

The article was updated, the protests started after I first read the article. And somehow I'm guessing the Bosnians in south St. Louis were not protesting alleged police brutality on african americans.

I seriously doubt that. Obama could come down to St. Louis, pardon these boys and even give them a medal for killing a White man and I still don't think White people would protest. Why? Because even after repeated mob attacks by Blacks on Whites, there has been no widespread outrage. I think White people are more scared of being labelled a racist than they care about looking out for the well being of other Whites.

Edit: Well, it looks like the Bosnians are protesting this. I won't expect the same ethnic solidarity from American born Whites though.

I think it is because they realize the folly of protests. There are better ways to achieve change than looking a fool chanting en masse and looting stores. Those are the actions of mindless fools.

St. Louis is a hellhole. I fail to understand why people insist on living there.

Most of us white people don't really self-identify as white unless forced to do so on some form. Plus when you have a job it is kind of hard to protest for too long a period of time.
