The family members of slain St. Louis youth Michael Brown (pictured), who was senselessly gunned down this past summer by police officer Darren Wilson, were allegedly involved in a violent scuffle over merchandise related to the boys murder, according to Fox 2 Now.
Browns mother, Lesley McSpadden (pictured), has made it clear that she does not approve of any profits or political actions related to her sons death. On Saturday evening, McSpadden reportedly stumbled upon her sons grandmother, Pearlie Gordon, and his cousin, Tony Petty, allegedly hawking T-shirts in the parking lot of a BBQ eatery not far from where Brown was murdered.
McSpadden allegedly became immediately upset at seeing her sons relatives peddling merchandise with his likeness, so she reportedly jumped out of a car and ordered the pair to stop their antics, stating, You cant sell this (expletive)! McSpadden was then reportedly joined by another unidentified person who had been traveling with her.
Gordon and Petty demanded that McSpadden produce a document to prove that she had a patent that could stop them from peddling. A police report then states that McSpaddens companion struck Petty in the face with a metal pipe of some sort.
Police were summoned to the familial fracas.
McSpaddens companion then not allegedly snatched the unauthorized merchandise and took a total of about $1,400 that was kept in a box.
Meanwhile, Petty was taken to a nearby hospital by medics for treatment.
No arrests were reportedly made at the time of the incident; however, surveillance cameras more than likely captured the battle and could be used as police evidence.
The pugnacious Palins versus the battlin’ Browns. Who’d win?
Oh, my heavens! Is Michael Brown’s thug family doing thuggish things like fighting in public in a parking lot? How is this possible when the MSM have told us that Mike’s family was as nearly perfect as the martyred Michael Brown. Does this mean the MSM was caught LYING again? Say it’s not true Mr. Journalist; tell us how you never lie and twist facts or make them up out of thin air to fit your narrative. What a crock of Bravo Sierra.
Seems pretty sensible to me.
"Murder" is such a harsh word. Shouldn't we be saying: eradication, extermination, termination, suicide.
sad—really just sad. Now we know where Michael got his family values.
I wonder how the “Gentle Giant” sustained a bullet wound to his hand from a shot fired at close range?
Yes, it is.
Eons ago I taught at the middle and high school level: 13-18 years old. Occasionally I had their PARENTS in to bring the students to a sense of the seriousness of their problems.
After meeting the parents I ALWAYS felt far more lenient towards the students. I DIDN'T tell them that they REALLY turned out GREAT, compared to their parents. But, meeting the parent (ALMOST always, a one-parent family) made me greatly pity the student.
SO many of those Project/broken home kids NEVER stood a chance in life. The odds were TOTALLY stacked against them from their day of birth.
Many blacks working in public education would love to see every school function as a boarding school to keep the children from the animals that bred them solely for freebies; free breakfast, lunch (including in the summers!), and aftercare aren’t enough.
I was shocked at how candid the “Precious” movie was about the scam; twenty years ago that movie would have never aired.
Gibsmedat!
