On Tuesday night, more than two dozen people gathered near the spot where Michael Brown Jr. was gunned down three years ago on Aug. 9, 2014, to mourn and remember the 18-year-old whose life was taken from him and to reconstruct a makeshift memorial in the spot where he died.
“We can never forget this,” activist Meldon Moffitt told a group residents and other community activists as they stood on the site. “This is ground zero.”
Mike’s death sparked months of protests and served as the catalyst to the Black Lives Matter movement.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that those who came out laid down teddy bears, lit candles and other tokens in the street where Mike was shot and killed by then-officer Darren Wilson, constructing a memorial to replace past makeshift memorials, not far from a bronze plaque was installed to mark the site in 2015.
“I’m really delighted to see people come out here, it shows they haven’t forgotten,” Moffitt added, according to the Post-Dispatch. “As long as we support each other, all these lives — Mike Brown, Isaiah Hammett, Kajieme Powell, all of them — will be remembered.”

In my opinion MLK was a ‘Passive-aggressive’ POS.
....”This is Ground Zero”
For the continuing lie of the “gentle giant” currently and deservedly pushing daisies.
For the reasons set forth above, this matter lacks prosecutive merit and should be closed.
...
It lacked prosecutive merit because Mike Brown was dead and dead people can’t be prosecuted.
Showing their true colors by celebrating a dead thug.
Except that MLK did not deserve to be murdered, while Brown earned his demise.
Nobody got killed there that didnt deserve it.
The BLM motto, "Hands up don't shoot" is based on a lie. They are Marxists, stirring up class warfare!
2 dozen Thugs?
"There once was a thug named Brown, who bum-rushed a cop with a frown. Six bullets later, he met his creator then his homies burnt down the town."
Here’s a clue for you, Meldon, bad things are likely to happen to you if you try to grab a cop’s gun. You might even die.
That might be the Euphemism Of The Day.
... along with "gunned down."
“Left an afterglow of smiles when life was done?”
Give me a fecking break...
Ground zero of The Great Lie
That fat tub of guts is just a street stain now.
Ah! A great place for dogs to wipe their ass on instead of the grass.
There are also Muslims involved, who want to create Shariah “No Go Zones” in the inner-cities.
The anniversary game. When it fits the narrative, remind the public every year, after removing the embarrassing details that don’t fit the narrative.
When a Black kills a White, or a m*slim kills a human, it is wiped from the news within 1 week, and NEVER mentioned ever again. It is wiped from google search results.
In the Soviet Union, there were whole offices devoted to making people disappear from history.
Marxists and Muslims, working together to curtail our freedoms and subvert the Constitution!
Michael Brown (and Treyvon Martin) died because he attacked a man with a gun.
