Quote
In Memory Of Michael O.D. Brown
May 20, 1996 — August 6, 2014 I would like the memory of
Michael Brown to be a happy one. He left an
afterglow of smiles when life was done.
He leaves and echo whispering softly down the ways,
of happy and loving times and bright sunny days.
He’d like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before
the sun of happy memories that he left
behind when life was done.

Quote
I would like the memory of Michael Brown to be an honest one.
He left a chalk outline on the street when his life was done.
He leaves an echo of police sirens screaming down the ways,
of pot smoke and lies about "hands up" lingering for days.
He'd like to get high and live off EBT, but he attacked a store clerk
and an armed police officer and his death, like his life,
counted for nothing when he was done.

They put a bird on the memorial, too. It's supposed to be a dove, but I'm thinking that it's really just a pigeon, and that would be appropriate because Mike Brown was nothing but a shitbird, just going around crapping on everything and demanding that others give him stuff.

If there's any justice, it won't be long before some Michael Brown clone comes along and steals the bronze plaque for scrap. Then maybe we can replace it was a monument to Officer Darren Wilson. The quote on that one should simply be: "I did my job and survived the attack."

As for me, I'm going to go to Ferguson, MO one day just so I can let Murphy  (his dog) piss on this thing.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

Care to be just a bit more specific about of what you are approving?

So I guess Ferguson is telling me that if I'm attacked in their town, they'll honor the man who attacked me. Thanks, Ferguson.

There is no fixing stupid. But, you can line it up in front of a wall and offer it a last smoke.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.
