I know. It’s hard. My son was killed in a motorcycle accident 7 years ago. It’s so hard no matter how they die, no matter if they were a good son or not. Still your precious child. My son was well, less of many things than a parent would choose, shall we say.
I’m struggling to believe ANYONE in this scenario, but I pity the parents. Lots to accept all at once.
And by the way, my son’s father had left me too. I was young, stupid and I chose poorly. Are you going to rejoice over my son’s death as well???
Oh God. Let me tell you, you never get over it.
Your father probably told you to “not try to grab a cops gun” at an early age, and you never did.
Such a simple rule to live by....
I don’t think Michael Brown was ever told this and if he was, he didn’t listen. By the way he grabbed the shopowner by the neck and then threatened him, it appears MB didn’t respect his elders and didn’t listen to them when they told him to do the “right thing”.
Was the little Pakistani immigrant “the man” keeping MB down?
Your choice of words is odd and accusatory: I am not "rejoicing" over the death of Michael Brown - I am simply untroubled by it.
And my point is that fathers who abandon their sons are rarely concerned about their deaths - they have already treated those sons as if they did not exist.
The people who are rioting and looting in the street aren't mourning the death of a loved one. They are celebrating their love of rioting and looting.
