Video: Two Ferguson Protesters in D.C. Quickly Ended Their Interviews After Admitting This

Two protesters in Washington, D.C., upset with the Ferguson grand jury decision endorsed the rioting that had rocked the Missouri suburb earlier in the week.

"I'm supporting the people of Ferguson and their reaction to the indictment," one unidentified woman told the Media Research Center's Dan Joseph Tuesday night.

"But, not the violent reactions," Joseph replied, seeking clarification.

"No, that's exactly what I'm supporting," the woman, carrying a "support the Ferguson Rebellion" sign answered.

She then quickly ended the interview, refusing to answer any further questions.

Joseph asked another individual what he meant by expressing support for "the rebellion."

"I mean like the people in the street, in Ferguson," the man responded.

"Not the ones committing the violence though," Joseph pressed.

"We're supporting, well yeah, we're supporting everybody," the individual responded.

"Okay, but not the violent protesters?" Joseph asked, seemingly stunned by the man's response.

"Yeah, we support the violent protesters," the individual responded, contending the rioting was a form of "communal self-defense."

After Joseph asked whether the man supported those burning down Ferguson businesses, the individual abruptly chose to "disengage" from the interview.
