ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI) – In a recent statement, Michael Brown’s mother asked that her son not be part of self-serving business or political actions as she pleaded that he be remembered for the good. A reported assault and theft this past weekend may dramatically underscore that sentiment.
It happened Saturday night, October 18th, at about 8:15 pm in the parking lot of Red’s BBQ. It`s the corner of Canfield and West Florissant, just blocks from where Michael Brown was shot and killed.
Police sources tell us Brown`s Grandmother, Pearlie Gordon, along with Brown`s Cousin Tony Petty, were selling t-shirts and other Michael Brown merchandise.
A police report describes a car pulling up and several people getting out. One of those people, was reported to be Michael Brown`s Mom, Lesley McSpadden. A witness described McSpadden yelling ‘You can`t sell this s%$&” One of the relatives, who was selling, reportedly demanded McSpadden show a document proving she had a patent.
The police report says that`s when an unidentified person with McSpadden assaulted Petty so violently that it resulted in a 911 call. A witness tells Fox 2 that the weapon was a metal pipe or pole. The suspect reportedly struck Petty in the face. Medics then took him to Christian Northeast Hospital. The witness said the assault suspect grabbed merchandise and a box of cash believed to contain about $1,400.
It appears surveillance cameras could have captured the fight and be part of police evidence. Police report no arrests at this time.
We reached out to the local Brown family attorney, Anthony D. Gray and he declined to comment.
It’s all about that misery franchise of “gettin’ paid”
I’d be kicked off this forum if I said what I think.
” ..... assaulted Petty so violently that it resulted in a 911 call. A witness tells Fox 2 that the weapon was a metal pipe or pole. The suspect reportedly struck Petty in the face. Medics then took him to Christian Northeast Hospital.”
It’s a safe bet taxpayers will be picking up the bill for this too. Thug-Life© cost taxpayers a lot of money.
* I want to copyright Thug-Life© so I can make money off thugs like the Browns intend to do.
I wonder where the late “Downtown Michael Brown” got his gangsta’ attitude and violent tendencies....
Yep, likely....and I BET YOU none of that T-shirt Cash income gets reported.
The Brown family, and the Trayvon family are a bunch of pikers compared to the King heirs (with the exception of one of them). Now THERE is some real capitalization of a name.
All it was ever about was the money.
Profiting from the death of a family member?
Who do they think they are, the MLK. Family ?
Hey, it’s a Dog Eat Dog World. KnowwhatI’msayin?
Look at the crap sandwich this family has foisted off on our nation.
Sound level headed families are the bedrock of any nation.
Families like this, help to destroy them.
Michael Brown, making more money dead than alive.

Wow. I am at a loss for words. Well, I could come up with some, but they wouldn’t be very polite. At best, I can say they seem to have recovered from their grief to some degree.
Seriously, I can’t imagine even thinking of making up a t-shirt about my family member’s death. And then trying to sell it?!
And I’m not sure this event “dramatically underscores” any noble intentions. The author is trying to characterize the mother’s reaction as dignified, but really—getting out of a car and swearing at your ... mother? “mother-in-law”? and provoking a brawl ... that doesn’t seem dignified to me.
