FERGUSON, Mo. -- Michael Brown Jr. was on the verge of starting college, eager to launch himself into the adult world. Instead, on Monday he'll be mourned at his funeral, more than two weeks after his fatal shooting by a white police officer— an act that ignited days of violent protests and reawakened racial tensions that still linger in the nation.

It appears, from the article, as if the phrase was used by a teacher.

When I think of some of the things my little children do - my 24-pound 2-year-old, my 45-pound 5-year-old - I’m glad they’re not 6’4” and 300 lbs. Great big people who have no judgment or self-control break things and hurt people.

Vatterott College. I’m not kidding. I saw it in a British newspaper several days ago. If you don’t know it, it’s a trade school:

Because he was a thug and a budding criminal, he is now a dead kid in a big body (what’s left of it after 3 forensic autopsies).

How do his parental units acquire income?

I've heard his mother referred to many times but I've never heard his father mentioned once.I would take that to mean that he was a prominent brain surgeon...or that he died of a heroin OD 17 years ago.

You *know* that this liquor store clerk is gonna be called by the defense during the trials.That is,unless he meets an untimely death before the trials or,after having considered that in da hood “snitches get stitches”,he develops a case of total amnesia.
