Permanent Michael Brown Memorial Planned at Shooting Site
ABC News ^ | May 20, 2015 | By JIM SUHR

The makeshift mid-street memorial that marked where Michael Brown was fatally shot by a police officer last summer was cleared out Wednesday — what would have been his 19th birthday — amid plans to install a permanent plaque in his memory nearby.

"I would like the memory of Michael Brown to be a happy one," the marker reads, bearing a likeness of Brown in a graduation cap and gown. "He left an afterglow of smiles when life was done. He leaves an echo whispering softly down the ways, of happy and loving times and bright and sunny days.

"He'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun of happy memories that he left behind when life was done."

Thus they get to blame their self-inflicted pathologies on Whitey and don’t have to become useful civilized human beings.

That’s not how I remember him. The burned out street in a hopeless city will be an enduring memorial.

Maybe they can have a statue of him skipping off to College with an armful of books.

If you read those words as written, the statement is quite true.

But it doesn't mean what they think it means.

They celebrate the life of a thug and wonder why people think blacks are criminals.

How about a statue with Brown over the officer trying to pull the gun out of his holster to shoot him

Entitle it “Police Brutality” as defined by A. Sharpton

Michael Brown was scum that deserved to die.

The memory of this Thug will be used to victimize other innocent folks.

He accomplished nothing good in this life and I am glad this rubbish is gone.

Of course he did, all those in the looting "Gimmedat" crowd wiping out stores and livelihoods, got away with millions in goods and property destruction.
