Business' sign causes a stir (Michael Brown Memorial Fun)

FARMER CITY — A local business owner with a penchant for controversy set his sights on Ferguson, Mo., this week.

"Congrats Michael Brown one year with no criminal behavior," the sign outside Schmidt's Welding and Machine Shop in Farmer City read Tuesday and early Wednesday, days after the one-year anniversary of a Ferguson police officer shooting and killing unarmed black teenager Michael Brown.

Phil Schmidt, who owns the sign and the business, was unapologetic, saying the message was similar to others he's put up over the years outside his shop at 824 E. High Street.

"It is what it is — all these people in Ferguson going crazy over a guy that broke the law three times that day, tried to kill a cop, tried to get his gun, it's crazy," Schmidt said Wednesday morning when contacted by The News-Gazette.

He added: "What they're doing to cops makes me sick."

A welding and machine shop in a rural area isn’t likely to be a soft target for any who choose to act out on a hissy fit over the truth.

Shouldn’t #blacklivesmatter be protesting his shop? I doubt he is unarmed.

Pray America is waking

Something on wheels or tracks might be up armored around the shop.

“A welding and machine shop in a rural area isn’t likely to be a soft target for any who choose to act out on a hissy fit over the truth.”

Just about a half hour from me. Good solid little town. Troublemakers would be wise to stay away.

“It is what it is — all these people in Ferguson going crazy over a guy that broke the law three times that day, tried to kill a cop, tried to get his gun, it’s crazy,”

Can we get this guy to run against Durbin? I’d move to Illinois just to vote for him!

The death of Gentle Giant Brown may have been the very first “corrective reading” he ever received.

It was that corrective reading that prevents him from committing more crime.

I see many ghetto folks who appear to never have been corrected, restrained or put on the correct path. Proper behavior is an affront to them.

That is very dangerous for society: millions of feral savages who dont rape, assault or kill only for fear of being caught. What happens, say, when the police are overtaxed when the hurricane hits and they know they won’t be caught?

Note that in nearly all pics of Fat Bastard we saw last year that he is wearing something red colored.
