Watch: Michael Brown Protesters Interrupt St. Louis Symphony Orchestra Concert In Amazing Way
The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra’s concert on Saturday night was interrupted by Michael Brown protesters. The protesters paid for their tickets and added a different and unexpected theme for the night.
[su_center_ad]While the orchestra and chorus were preparing to perform Johannes Brahms’ Requiem just after intermission, two audience members in the middle aisle on the main floor began singing the old civil rights tune, “Which Side are You on?” Soon after, the two were joined by other protesters, who stood at seats in various locations on the main floor and in the balcony, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Three hand-painted banners were unfurled then hung from the Dress Circle boxes, including one listing the birth and death date of Brown, the unarmed teenager shot dead by Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9th. Another read ‘Racism lives here.”
As the protesters departed, they chanted, “Black lives matter.”
According to the Dispatch, just before they left, the protesters scattered red paper hearts over the edge of the balcony onto the main floor orchestra seats. They read, in part: “Requiem for Mike Brown.”

Still praying for justice, RIP Michael Brown.
Anomaly 100 October 5th, 2014 at 9:26 pm
Amen to that.
tracey marie October 5th, 2014 at 9:31 pm
I am hoping for justice
Skydog2 October 5th, 2014 at 9:34 pm
I’m also hoping people can accept the justice whether they agree or not.
tracey marie October 5th, 2014 at 9:36 pm
shut up teabagger
Skydog2 October 5th, 2014 at 9:42 pm
Well we all know how you’ll respond if you disagree with the outcome.
tracey marie October 5th, 2014 at 9:53 pm
lol, blow it out your ass teabagger
fahvel October 6th, 2014 at 3:30 am
atta girl – give’m hell!!!!
Skydog2 October 6th, 2014 at 12:38 pm
Q: How do you know when a liberal is presented with facts for which they have no reasonable response?
A: The resort to juvenile name calling.
Anomaly 100 October 5th, 2014 at 9:37 pm
George Zimmerman, is that you?
Skydog2 October 5th, 2014 at 9:41 pm
Yea, because only Zimmerman wants people to accept justice.
Anomaly 100 October 5th, 2014 at 9:56 pm
Wrong again. Because justice was not served in Zimmerman’s case.
Skydog2 October 6th, 2014 at 3:46 am
Exactly what I’d expect you to say.
Anomaly 100 October 6th, 2014 at 8:05 am
That’s funny because I expect nothing from you. That’s what you’ve produced in the comments: Nothing.
Skydog2 October 6th, 2014 at 8:52 am
A fair trial was held and an impartial jury found Zimmerman not guilty. Justice was served, time to move on.
You remind me of the old west justice …… there was a cowboy who was charged with stealing a horse in town, and some of the other cowboys, especially the guy whose horse was stolen, were very unhappy with that guy. One of the cowboys said, let’s hang him. And the other cowboy said, hold on; before we hang him, let’s first give him a fair trial, then we’ll hang him.
Anomaly 100 October 6th, 2014 at 11:14 am
Dang. You suck at this.
Skydog2 October 6th, 2014 at 12:35 pm
“before we hang him, let’s first give him a fair trial, then we’ll hang him”
This is essentially what you’re saying about Darren Wilson.
Anomaly 100 October 6th, 2014 at 12:51 pm
No. It’s totally not. You’re wrong but at least you’re consistent.
edmeyer_able October 6th, 2014 at 8:22 am
Unless the killer is indicted justice will not have been served.
Skydog2 October 6th, 2014 at 8:43 am
Justice will be served when all the investigative bodies perform a complete review of the facts. The outcome is irrelevant.
edmeyer_able October 6th, 2014 at 8:48 am
The gj is composed of individuals from a community that has shown itself to be biased. Irregularities have already taken place.
Skydog2 October 6th, 2014 at 8:55 am
what is gj?
Skydog2 October 6th, 2014 at 9:09 am
Is the grand jury biased if they vote to indict officer Wilson?
edmeyer_able October 6th, 2014 at 1:14 pm
If the gj vote to indict they are saying there’s enough evidence that a crime MAY have been committed, if they vote not to indict they are saying that shooting a suspect from 30′ who posed no danger to anyone and had his hands in the air is justifiable.
But I have my doubts about your ability to comprehend that.
Skydog2 October 6th, 2014 at 4:40 pm
I know this sounds crazy but I’ll wait until the facts come out to draw my conclusions.
edmeyer_able October 6th, 2014 at 5:25 pm
If you’re speaking of a police report, that was due the day of the killing so looks like you’ll be waiting til you die.
Carla Akins October 6th, 2014 at 8:50 am
You say that like we can trust what they will release. They have done nothing so far to install any confidence and they’ve been caught repeatedly, lying, failing to follow protocol and not even understanding that laws they are entrusted to uphold. Forgive me, but I’ll hang on to my skepticism.
Skydog2 October 6th, 2014 at 8:55 am
“Forgive me, but I’ll hang on to my skepticism” – sounds reasonable to me
Don’t forget Eric holder’s beloved DOJ is one of the investigative bodies.
Carla Akins October 6th, 2014 at 8:59 am
Don’t forget the Rodney King video. Sometimes it just doesn’t matter.
Skydog2 October 6th, 2014 at 9:03 am
In the Rodney King incident, police officers were sent to prison, right?
Carla Akins October 6th, 2014 at 11:29 am
No, they were acquitted in spite of the fact they were clearly seen beating him – hence the riots.
Skydog2 October 6th, 2014 at 12:25 pm
No, they were acquitted in the 1st trial and sent to prison in the 2nd trial.
Rusty Shackleford October 6th, 2014 at 9:18 am
Yes, we must trust the cops to investigate the cops and tell us if the cops did anything wrong. Flawless logic.
tiredoftea October 5th, 2014 at 10:47 pm
Justice went out the window with Wilson’s bullet.
Skydog2 October 6th, 2014 at 3:48 am
Let’s see what the investigations and grand jury say, maybe Wilson’s bullets served justice.
tiredoftea October 6th, 2014 at 12:03 pm
The sheer stupidity of your comment is beyond belief.
Skydog2 October 6th, 2014 at 12:33 pm
I take a wait and see attitude, let all the fact be gathered and evaluated before drawing a conclusion.
You run around with your hair on fire after hearing media spin and a small percentage of the facts.
Well, one of us isn’t being reasonable.
tiredoftea October 6th, 2014 at 12:42 pm
How convenient for you. Meanwhile, Michael Brown is still dead. Justice was denied when Officer Wilson shot him. The rest is theater for the wait and see crowd.
Skydog2 October 6th, 2014 at 1:07 pm
And he will still be dead if there’s a quick arrest and a rush to judgment.
A proper, measured investigation is more likely to hold up under scrutiny during a trial.
tiredoftea October 6th, 2014 at 1:38 pm
Let’s not call it justice. It certainly isn’t that.
Skydog2 October 6th, 2014 at 4:39 pm
Ok, I’m open to a more descriptive word than “justice”.
tracey marie October 5th, 2014 at 9:23 pm
Very clever, effective and non violent.
tiredoftea October 5th, 2014 at 9:43 pm
Brilliant!
rat618 October 5th, 2014 at 10:25 pm
Oh there is that pesky 1st Amendment Rights thing. Bravo and well done.
burqa October 5th, 2014 at 11:13 pm
Beautifully done! They got their message across singing a classic, well. Then they left so the imposition on others was minimal and the show could go on.
It was peaceful with no property damage or anything else to distract from the message. That way, the message remains the thing to focus upon.
fahvel October 6th, 2014 at 3:29 am
wow. Sometimes there are moments of really fine stuff in the usa. That must have been a truly heart rending moment. Bravo!!!
Skydog2 October 6th, 2014 at 3:45 am
Could you imagine how different the media coverage would be if the protesters sang in support of Darren Wilson or open carry rights?
tracey marie October 6th, 2014 at 7:28 am
what a whiny teabagger you are
Skydog2 October 6th, 2014 at 8:59 am
What a surprise, another juvenile insult from tracey marie.
Rusty Shackleford October 6th, 2014 at 9:16 am
Could you imagine how different the media coverage would be if the protestors were on the moon?
Could you imagine how different the media coverage would be if the protesters sang in a Broadway musical production of The Producers?
Could you imagine how different the media coverage would be if the protestors sang in support of a killer who hasn’t been arrested or charged with anything rather than a dead teenager?
Could you imagine how different anything ever would be if you changed fundamental aspects of reality to better suit your hypothetical narrative that doesn’t actually exist?
William October 6th, 2014 at 9:29 am
if the protesters sang in support of Darren Wilson or open carry rights?….
Open carry crazies don’t express themselves in theaters by singing.
edmeyer_able October 6th, 2014 at 6:43 pm
This is how darren wilson supporters protest, by harassing an innocent man
Despicable!Darren Wilson Supporters Have Organized To Harass @STLAbuBadu To Call His Employer & Boycott It
