A memorial stone placed at the foot of the tree is also missing, according to a local news channel. The memorial tree was planted by members of the Black Caucus of the American Library Association.

Caucus members had planted the tree in January-Wabash Memorial Park on Saturday and just one day later, community members found it destroyed. Another tree featured in a local news report was completely destroyed – just a few meters away from the tree planted in honor of Michael Brown

Might want to look around the neighborhood because its pretty unlikely that any white folks are going to go down to the hood alone and screw around.

Maybe. Or maybe just somebody who is genuinely outraged by the idea of a memorial to a thug.

It’s largely a matter of knowing when and how to make the incursion.

I say it was harry reid- I have no proof, but what does that matter? According to harry, it’s fine to lie IF the end results fit your agenda- perhaps a website should be created titled “HarryReidVandalizedMichaelBrown’sMemorial. com”

They need a bigger rock.

The under the Oaks GOP monument in Jackson Michigan (Also a large rock) was in the hood for years. Now its a largely hispanic neighborhood and actually looks like a monument.

Stealing his memorial is an appropriate memorial.

A Memorial Tree? WTF?

The Michael Brown Memorials are supposed to be piles of trash in the street. Don't they know that?

Anyone want to bet that “certain people” destroyed it to make an issue?

Having the memorial destroyed is a fitting tribute to a punk thug.
Too bad it likely was “self inflicted” by the “memorial” people themselves.

Two weeks earlier at a meeting...

“What’s the final tally of donations for the Michael Brown bronze sculpture?”

$100

“OK, we’ll plant a tree and engrave a brick, then the next day....”

What’s wrong with that?

After all, they are all animalistic thugs and destroying everything and anything around them is their way of life.

I think it should be an honor to see other animals destroying his contribution to the crime wave in that town.

Personally, if I gave a cr@p, I'd first check pawn shops in the vicinity of the where one or the another of the "Just Us" Bros. hang.

And then the Clinton Library and Massage Parlor.

Just sayin'.

“Desecrate” a “memorial” to a thug? Was that said with a straight face?
