'Just took a Viagra with no where to go:-(' and other gems from people who hoped protesters would get run over last night

As you may have heard, last night's Eagles game was the site of a die-in protest. Protesters blocked traffic leaving the stadium after the Eagles lost to the Seahawks by lying down in the street en masse for 4.5 minutes, a reference to the 4.5 hours Michael Brown's body lay on a street in Ferguson. 

And, of course, people were not pleased. Sports Twitter dude Fansince09, whom you may remember from this whole thing, noted that one of his followers had tweeted a screenshot of something his guidance counselor had posted on facebook, and retweeted it:

And things happened:

And there was a whole lot more stuff than that threatening protesters, or expressing the hope that they would be assaulted or run over. "Who the hell are these people?" we wondered. And so we checked some of them out. Actually, we kind of felt better after looking some of these people up, because many seemed deeply unhappy and/or lonely and/or into the Foo Fighters, which sort of offers a contrast to the idea that there's a ton of average, everyday people out there who hope people die as a result of a protest that delays traffic after a football game for 10-15 minutes.

And so we present: Tweets hoping protesters would be run over juxtaposed with earlier tweets from the same person!
