Mike Brown's Mom to Testify Against Son's Killing In Geneva
teleSUR ^ | November 1, 2014

Next month, Lesley McSpadden will travel to the Swiss city to seek justice for her own son Michael Brown.

The mother of an unarmed black 18-year-old shot and killed by a white policeman in Ferguson, Missouri is to take her son’s case to the United Nations in Geneva.

Accompanied by family lawyers and human rights activists, Lesley McSpadden will travel to the Swiss city next month to testify on her own son Michael Brown, shot by Officer Darren Wilson this August in Feguson, Missouri, and other victims of police violence, to the UN Committee of Torture.

"It's actually covered by article one of the convention against torture," Justin Hansford, a law professor at Saint Louis University and co-author of a brief to the UN body filed by Brown's family and local activists, told VICE News. "When the government has all the guns, all the force, and when they can kill people with impunity and without fear of being found guilty of a crime, that's a classic example of state violence."(continued)

Before this incident, his (Mike’s) mother by a different last name couldn’t afford bus fare too far. Now she’s a world traveler.

He didn’t die in Geneva

Poorly phrased headlines is a pet peeve of mine as well.

Who does Officer Wilson get to complain to?

Brown almost killed him.

She’s going to go there and of the 10 committee members, the ones from Morocco, Senegal, Chile, China and Georgia can certainly tell her what torture really is.

Is she going to show the security video of her son bullying the brown skinned store owner? The police officers x-rays?

this thug bastard, like treyvon, has done more to help their “family” by dying than if they had stayed alive. and i don’t care if that sounds harsh. the truth hurts.

We can easily speculate about the upbringing the criminal had. This just confirms it.

A nation of victims and entitlement

Sadly, I believe there is an expression for it: 'Winning the Ghetto lottery'.
Whenever a young black man is killed by a white - preferably a white officer (although a 'white hispanic' neighborhood watch guy will do) - the families of the deceased seem to get dollar signs in their eyes, and carry on in a very unseemly manner. And the American Media aids and abets this behaviour.

Here we go again. First Saint Trayvon's mother, now Michael Brown's.

Lesley McSpadden, your son was a violent, drug-using thief.

Now you want to cash in on his undeserved status as a shiny new social justice icon.

Do you prefer the icon to the son? I don't know, but it sure looks that way.

Where is your apology to the world for your part in creating your son's failed life?

Well, at least the Gentle Giant’s parental units are getting a lot of free stuff out of this. Trips to Geneva. Just don’t get any better.
