Idiot of the Week: FedEx Employee Mocks George Floyd’s Death as Protesters Pass

There's no shortage of idiots, and they all seem to be supporting one person in particular. This past week in southern New Jersey a white, redneck, conservative idiot mocked peaceful protesters in a horrible, disgusting way.  Here's the story from the NBC Philadelphia:

A group of white men seen mocking George Floyd's death as Black Lives Matter protesters passed by included a Federal Express employee and a  corrections officer in South Jersey, officials confirmed to NBC10.

NBC10 later learned the man kneeling  on another man laying down along Delsea Drive as a group marched past in Franklin Township on Monday. is a FedEx employee. A NJ corrections officer was off to the side filming.

FedEx told Memphis, Tennessee, NBC affiliate WMC-TV late Tuesday that another person involved in the counter protest is no longer employed by the logistics company. FedEx said "we do not tolerate the kind of appalling and offensive behavior depicted in this video."

Right here in South Jersey! Don’t be naive! Some Posted @withregram • @stfuml This is what James J Demarco did while my brother @russy06 was peacefully protesting in Franklinville NJ. James works for @fedex so now I want to know does this employees behavior align with your company policy? #BLM #blacklivesmatter #blackouttuesday #icantbreathe #georgefloyd #justiceforgeorgefloyd #naacp #civilrights #breonnataylor #saytheirnames #racism #racist #repost

The NJ Department of Corrections said in a statement that one of the men involved was a corrections officer at Bayside State Prison. "We have been made aware that one of our officers from Bayside State Prison participated in the filming of a hateful and disappointing video that mocked the killing of George Floyd," an NJ Department of Corrections statement said. That person, who the statement did not identify, has been suspended and banned while the agency investigates.



The display sent shocked reactions through the crowd and on social media as clips racked up thousands of views.

The protesters, who had notified police of their route and were flanked by police SUVs, were moving down Delsea Drive when they passed a firewood business along the route, protesters told NBC10 and documented in social media videos.

The videos showed a group with Trump 2020 flags and a "thin blue line" flag, along with an "all lives matter" sign. You could hear shocked reactions as one man, whom NBC10 could not definitively identify, knelt on another man who lay face-down on the ground. The man kneeling was also seen shouting at the protesters.

"It automatically brought me to tears," organizer Daryan Fennal of Franklinville said. "The display yesterday showed me that racism is real, racism is alive, it's right next door to you."
