The mother of Michael Brown, the unarmed black 18-year-old who was fatally shot by a police officer in 2014, is considering running for City Council in her home city of Ferguson, Missouri.

“What I’m contemplating is running for City Council of Ferguson,” Brown’s mother, Lezley McSpadden, said during a panel on police brutality at Harvard University on Monday.

McSpadden’s announcement was met with a roar of applause from the crowd and a “Run, Lezley! Run!” chant, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

This is what we get for not picking our own cotton: a freak show that goes on and on.

Trump?

North county St. Louis County is a cesspool to begin with. She'll fit right in with the quality of the leaders elected there.

"I'd rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University." William F. Buckley Jr.

I agree, but there must be some true dingbats among the 400. I think that failing to teach your son that ripping off a store, walking down the middle of the street, and punching a cop are not smart things to do argues for "dingbat".

Because there are still some parts of the town that haven’t been destroyed.

“Run, Lezley! Run” - but just not in the direction of a police officer who has told you several times to stop.

I must take exception. We are ALL *qualified* for the office: a govt of/by/for the People.

If we are qualified for the J-O-B, that’s the question...

What makes her think she would do a better job running a town, than raising a son?

Oh, right. She is black, a woman, and a self-proclaimed victim. Standing on the coffin of her justly killed offspring to make her voice heard.

Well, it is often said that people get the leaders they deserve.

She'll lose badly.

It's one thing for a bunch if Harvard SJW to idolize the “gentle giant”, but those who actually live in the neighborhood live in fear of thugs like him.

Besides, you eliminate the felons who can't vote and illegals, and the demographic profile of the voters you have left changes dramatically.

I forgot to add the question mark to my post #6.

Trump? Trump has been successful at everything he has tried and is pretty damned good at running things. How you can lump him in with this idiot woman is a mystery to me.

By the way, Carolyn McCarthy turned her tragedy into a congressional seat in New York after the Long Island Rail Road shooting. She was neither good nor bad unless you consider reliably democrat bad...I do.

You can say the same about Winfrey. Built a multi-billion dollar media empire in print, publishing, cable, and the movies from scratch. And has done a pretty good job of running it.

I think Carolyn McCarthy was better educated and better prepared for elective office than Lezley McSpadden is.

She’s milking this for all it’s worth. She’s too stupid to have come up with it on her own. Another maxine waters in the making.
