A 100-strong Black Lives Matter mob in Mount Laurel, an edge city suburb of Philadelphia, surrounded a man's home on Monday after an out-of-context video of him going on a racist rant during a heated dispute with his neighbors went viral on social media.
The video cut out the beginning of the dispute so it wasn't clear what the man, later identified as 45-year-old Edward Cagney Mathews, was so angry about.
The video shows Mathews was first pushed by his neighbor after getting up in his face.

This moron screeching racist nonsense basically invited this upon himself. While we have free speech and while we have the right to say what we want, we are not free of the consequences of being fucking stupid. This guy? Yeah. Stupid.
