FERGUSON, Mo. – It has been five years since Michael Brown was shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson. In that time, Ferguson has grown as a city. The mayor has said he doesn’t want the anniversary to reopen any scabs. Instead, he hopes the city will continue toward growing stronger together.

As Fox 2’s Katherine Hessel reports, there are several events planned for the anniversary in Ferguson and across St. Louis County.

9 a.m. - Michael Brown Sr. will ask for his son’s case to be reopened. St. Louis County Justice Center in Clayton

11 a.m. - Memorial service Canfield Drive

11:55 a.m. - Moment of silence Canfield Drive

Yes, let's all take a moment to remember the thuggish, brute man-child who tried to murder a cop.

Piss be upon him.

Not to mention that not one but two or more federal investigations into the incident cleared Officer Wilson of any wrongdoing in his actions.

Yes, think I’ll strong arm rob a few convenience stores today in memory of the Darwin Award winner.

The left will take this opportunity to express their collective regret for perpetuating a LIE.

I always look upon the Brown ‘kid’ as having lapses of judgement, and if he’d corrected himself on any of the four...he’d be alive today.

1. He got up that morning and did a strong mix of weed.

2. He made up his mind to walk over to the store to steal a box of cigars.

3. He walked down the center of the road, after leaving the store.

4. When confronted by the policeman, he resorted to violence in his act.

On any of these....he could have made a different judgement call, and prevented his ‘end’.

Saw his dad interviewed, offered nothing. Why would they want to celebrate this thug, is he their role model? They should look up to others, like Ben Carson or Clarence Thomas.

In Baltimore, there will be a memorial gathering at the Freddie Gray Youth Empowerment Center. Yes, there really is a building named after a suicidal heroin dealer.

Wonder what Freddie’s baby daddy thinks about it...if he’s known, alive, and not in prison. <— This is part of what is wrong in America.

Yes, it was one of many ridiculous incidents in this sad community. I hope everyone with sense and the ability has long since moved to better places, including all the police.

Western Culture is superior to inner city black culture...

Michael Brown was not a hero - he was a thug...
