Police investigating assault and theft following argument between Brown family relatives
Fox ^ | 10/22/2014

Posted on 10/23/2014 3:04:43 AM PDT by Altura Ct.

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.

Everyone needs to take a very close, very serious look at the photo in #3 above.

When peaceful coexistence becomes impossible, warfare is inevitable.

I guess the dude in front thinks the “Show Me State” means showing everyone your fat gut, your drawers and your idiocy.

The irony should be funny, but is just sad.
The family has to call the same police that they are blaming for the death, to protect them from the neighborhood thugs.

... to protect them from the neighborhood thugs who are their own family members ... and then we're right back to Michael.

Why on Earth would they call the police? I thought the police were their enemy.

Dunno, really. It's contradictory actually, but a 911 call was made. Assault notwithstanding, my bet is on $$ involved here.

Is this story the beginning of that new movie, “Space Balls 2: The Search For More Money”?

Looks like, and we’re all in it. Mel Brooks couldn’t direct something as madcap and deranged as this storyline.

Entrepreneurship is infectious. Two ears ago these people never thought they would be in business for themselves.

Micheal don’t be a “real” person, he is money! He be Benjamins for the family.

Why, every urban youngster should aspire to be killed by a white man so the family can GET PAYYYYYYY’D!

At least it’s more cash than the gummint gives us.
