Michael Brown Memorial Rebuilt After Fire

FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — Anger spilled over Tuesday after fire destroyed one of two memorials on the street where Michael Brown was killed, a site that has become sacred to many in Ferguson and others nationwide focused on interactions between minorities and police.

How the fire happened wasn't immediately clear, but it stoked fresh resentment among those who question whether the shooting of the unarmed, black 18-year-old by a white Ferguson police officer on Aug. 9 is being adequately investigated.

"It's the same as if somebody came and desecrated a grave," Anthony Levine of Florissant, another St. Louis suburb, said as he studied the charred scene and shook his head.

Many who gathered at the site Tuesday blamed police for the blaze, even as the chief said officers did everything they could to keep the stuffed animals and other items from burning.

1. Yeah, whomever can tear it down.. but, it only reinforces fresh determination

to get Justice from the Ferguson PD for Michael Brown

from your link..

"By late morning, the memorial already had been rebuilt with fresh teddy bears, a blanket and new signs. The light post and sidewalk remained charred. About 75 people joined hands in prayer, shouting, "We are Mike Brown!"

Mahalo, Cali~

2. I read about this while I was at work tonight.

It saddened me that anyone would desecrate a memorial. Yet they built it again. What hate tears down we can rebuild. No we can't bring Michael back, yet maybe we can save the next child.

It should not have to be that way yet it is Cali_Democrat, yet sadly it still is.

3. I guarantee you a bunch of right-wing assholes are screaming "false flag"...

They'll claim the locals set fire to it themselves to play the victim card.
