Michael Brown and Ferguson: The Story in Photos
Village Voice
August 14, 2014
Barely 24 hours after a Ferguson police officer shot and killed Michael Brown, his family wanted people to know that Brown was a shy, nonviolent kid who loved music and wanted to go to college.
[Ha, hah, ha!]
On Saturday, August 9, 2014, eighteen-year-old Michael Brown was walking with a friend [accomplice] on the 2900 block of Canfield Drive in Ferguson, Missouri, when the two came across a Ferguson police officer. What happened next is unclear, but after a series of gunshots, Michael Brown was lying face down in the street in a pool of blood. He was dead, shot repeatedly by officer Darren Wilson, a six-year veteran. Brown was unarmed, and many witnesses say he had his hands raised in the air at the time he was shot.
[Unarmed black teenager. Got it?]
In the days following the shooting, there have been outpourings of support, sorrow, and anger from celebrities and community members alike. Many have taken to the streets of Ferguson to protest. What began as a peaceful demonstration turned increasingly violent, and the protests turned into riots. Now two others have been shot in separate incidents [Two other whom, shot by whom? Nice and vague], and the tension surrounding Brown's death continues to permeate St. Louis and the country.

The only way to show a picture of the much younger Mr. Brown is only next to a picture of the big hulking Mr. Brown manhandling the much smaller store clerk.
That thieving, dope smoking, cop assaulting street ape got what was coming to it. It was made good. Thank you Officer Wilson. We are going to raise 10 times more money for you than those broke food stamp sucking section 8 beggars do for that dead chimp.
