ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI) – In a recent statement, Michael Brown’s mother asked that her son not be part of self-serving business or political actions as she pleaded that he be remembered for the good. A reported assault and theft this past weekend may dramatically underscore that sentiment.
It happened Saturday night, October 18th, at about 8:15 pm in the parking lot of Red’s BBQ. It`s the corner of Canfield and West Florissant, just blocks from where Michael Brown was shot and killed.
Police sources tell us Brown`s Grandmother, Pearlie Gordon, along with Brown`s Cousin Tony Petty, were selling t-shirts and other Michael Brown merchandise.
A police report describes a car pulling up and several people getting out. One of those people, was reported to be Michael Brown`s Mom, Lesley McSpadden. A witness described McSpadden yelling ‘You can`t sell this s%$&” One of the relatives, who was selling, reportedly demanded McSpadden show a document proving she had a patent.
The police report says that`s when an unidentified person with McSpadden assaulted Petty so violently that it resulted in a 911 call. A witness tells Fox 2 that the weapon was a metal pipe or pole. The suspect reportedly struck Petty in the face. Medics then took him to Christian Northeast Hospital. The witness said the assault suspect grabbed merchandise and a box of cash believed to contain about $1,400.
It appears surveillance cameras could have captured the fight and be part of police evidence. Police report no arrests at this time.
We reached out to the local Brown family attorney, Anthony D. Gray and he declined to comment.
“I wonder where the late “Downtown Michael Brown” got his gangsta’ attitude and violent tendencies....”
You took the words right from my thoughts! Really obvious isn’t it?
“Profiting from the death of a family member?
Who do they think they are, the MLK. Family ?”
Another bull’s eye!
Yes, I know what you’re saying.
It was a family feud, dudes. Some wanted to do the honorable thing and some wanted to exploit. And what do you expect in a situation where respect for law got trampled to the ground. Vigilante action. Maybe it will dawn on these folks what a monster has been let loose, because they want to lynch a white fellow based on starkly incomplete, or second or third hand information.
Remember it takes a village!
It takes a village to learn how to pillage, or something? That whole place is stinking with the rabble rousing.
Clue to black America: yeah, learn how to act white. Maybe you’ll find that isn’t such a terrible thing after all.
Jessie or AL probably made the offer for a percentage, but being the strong arm mentality they each thought they could muscle the others out of their share.
Wow this hand basket has turbo!
“Wow this hand basket has turbo!”
LOL...
Damn! Just when they were turning their lives around....
Any cigars for sale?
It is kinda' funny they called 911.
“I stole a box of cigars and tried to steal a cop’s gun and all I got was this lousy T-shirt— and shot dead”....
It looks like, besides Michael Brown being a “gentle” giant, that the whole family is of the same “gentle” nature. Why does this incident not surprise me? Michael Brown had to learn his aggressive and violent nature from someone. And I’m sure that the family and community will react in the same “gentle” way when the grand jury does not return an indictment against Wilson, the cop.
Family dysfunction at its best.
gotta keep the anger at the cop stirred up. Sells more T-siorts. More speeches at the NAACP, NBC appearances, and so on. Flavor of the month.
The cops might want to finish their coffee and dough nuts before responding. It would not do to walk into the middle of a gunfight.

One of the SUPPOSED great lines coming out of this whole mess was when the ‘roadside memorial’ (NOT the one on the center line) was on fire and a couple people complained the Cops sat around and did nothing.
One cop (SUPPOSEDLY)
‘What? I called 911 for them, reported it on my radio.
I had to take a whiz but thought people wouldn’t understand I was just trying to put the fire out’..
WELL, something like that anyway, the gist is ‘correct’.
Some wanted to do the honorable thing and some wanted to exploit

I would have less trouble ‘believing’ you BUT the text made a reference to her (Mother?) saying you can’t sell that....
then asking if she had the patent?
NOW if that is true, there is absolutely NO DIGNITY or HONORABLE thing involved, just plain ‘greed’.
BUT the text made a reference to her (Mother?) saying you can’t sell that....
= = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Sorry, on further checking one of the people ‘mom’ was yelling at asked HER if she had the patent.
So ‘same difference’, a fight over who had the RIGHT to sell the crap.
