M. Catharine Evans "Days after liberal-minded symphony attendees sat quietly while direct action protesters disrupted their evening out, red-blooded Americans attending a baseball game in St. Louis went toe to toe with Michael Brown’s defenders."

"A few weeks ago, the stadium was the scene of a foiled demonstration. Organizers Sarah Griesbach and Elizabeth Vega, two middle-aged white women who wore Cardinals jerseys, unfurled a protest banner and were instantly met with shouts from sports fans. The same women were also behind the October 4 St. Louis Symphony demonstration. After the failed ballgame protest, the duo from an upscale neighborhood decided that a symphony hall would be a better location."
...
"Apparently, according to tweets, the protesters faced off with Cardinals fans outside the exit and re-entry gate for smokers. Not a great idea.
