A fire has destroyed one of two memorials at the site where 18-year-old Michael Brown was killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri.
Ferguson resident Meldon Moffitt said the fire started around 6:30 a.m. Tuesday on Canfield Drive, the street where Brown was fatally shot Aug. 9 by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson.
About two dozen residents gathered at the site Tuesday morning, many of them angry. One man said it was like a grave being desecrated.
Ferguson resident Marcus Henley told MSNBC 'I woke up to it. They light candles with no problem. I think somebody set it on fire. And that says a lot to me.'

Maybe lighting candles at a flammable memorial wasn’t the best idea.

Somebody going Richard Pryor old school lighting the pipe, and the ether spilled?

It was a mistake. Some “teen” thought it was the Quik Trip, so he looted the swag and then set the place on fire.

Person should be fined for burning garbage.

I know this really makes them mad,
but I really don’t care.
I do not validate or acknowledge their victimhood.

It was an honest mistake. Have you seen these memorials?
They look like a garbage dump in need of burning.

Was that the pile of trash in the street, erected in memory of that pile of trash, the “Violent Giant”?
Big Whoop!
