Michael Brown’s mom taking son’s case to the UN Committee Against Torture Written by Allen West
I just have to put this one down in the “no, this can’t be really happening” category. However, I did everything to examine if this was a hoax but it appears not.
According to Vice News, “Lesley McSpadden, the mother of the 18-year-old boy (Michael Brown) whose death at the hands of a Ferguson police officer in August sparked weeks of protests, is going to Geneva, Switzerland next month to speak about her son and other victims of police brutality in front of the United Nations. Mike Brown’s killing is still under investigation by federal officials, while a local grand jury tasked with deciding whether to charge officer Darren Wilson for his death is supposed to make an announcement any day — with few in Ferguson believing that an indictment is likely. But with little faith in the justice her son will receive, McSpadden, accompanied by one of the family’s lawyers and a handful of local activists and human rights advocates, is taking her son’s case — and that of other victims of racial profiling and police violence — straight to the UN Committee Against Torture, the body tasked with preventing torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment and punishment around the world.”

They didn’t torture her son. They just shot him.
someone wants a reset on their 15 seconds.
“UN Committee Against Torture”
Do you think we would have a case living 5 years under Obama?

FR needs an edit feature.

“McSpadden, accompanied by one of the family’s lawyers and a handful of local activists and human rights advocates, is taking her son’s case — and that of other victims of racial profiling and police violence — straight to the UN Committee Against Torture,”
Is she representing the convenience store owner?
The entire country does but some are too uninformed to understand.
Who is paying for this vacation? Better not be the taxpayers.
And just where did she come up with the money for this trip? She’s obviously being used by some well funded interest group to sow racial discord.
I think you were right the first time.
Brown was going to get killed sooner or later and probably sooner. He was a big bully. There would have come a time when he would have bullied the wrong black person.
It’s kind of cute that she thinks the UN can do something.
Sigh. Really?
Summertime blues:
Gonna take my problems to the united nations....
Called my congressman and he said NO.
I’d like to help you lady but you’re to dumb to vote.
Sometimes I wonder what I’ma gonna do.
Maybe I’ll just call the aclu
Some people will do anything for more attention, no matter stupid and greedy they look...
There is rage, there is not accepting the truth, and there is idiocy. She has all 3.
I feel sorry for her, I really do. She is so mind-washed about things that she doesn’t even live in reality.
She’s now a member of the jet set. Did Trayvon’s mom leverage her poor parenting into getting the travel the world? She got her son killed, is reaping the rewards, but is she hobnobbing with white elitists in Geneva?
