Michael Brown Special at Missouri bar draws public ire
Mug Shots Pub in St. Joseph, Mo., offered six shots of Jose Cinge for $10 in a special in the dead Ferguson teen's name. The bar has since renamed the deal to make fun of its mistake, calling it the 'A*****e Special.'
Michael Brown's death sparked protests around the country and a Missouri bar special that drew public ire.
The "Michael Brown Special" at Mug Shots Pub doled out six shots of Jose Cinge for $10 Friday night in in St. Joseph, Mo., leading to protests outside the bar and anger on social media.
The deal offered the same number of cinnamon-flavored tequila shots as the number of gun shots that authorities say killed the unarmed black teen about 300 miles away in Ferguson.
Demonstrators hung outside the bar over the weekend with signs, calling on the establishment to "leave his name in peace."
The bar's co-owner, who did not want to be identified, told Fox4 he heard other bars in the area had offered a similar special with good results.

If you could tell me the difference between the abhorrent behavior of this bar owner, the abhorrent behavior of talk radio, and the abhorrent behavior of the Republican Party, I'd love to hear it.
Oh well...how much damage can they do in two years, huh?
