on the music and grades of the guy who killed him...right?

I don't think what music someone listened to, or the grades they got in school, or if they smoked some weed or drank matters, but if the Times is going to do a story like this, then they should at least let us know about the listening habits, grades and alcohol consumption of the killer as well.

Did he listen to Limbaugh and Hannity?
Does he watch faux News 24/7?
Is he a T-bagger?
Does he belong to the NRA?
Did he question the President's birthplace?

How far do we want to go with this shit? What Mike Brown listened to, or how he performed in school have absolutely no relevance to the fact that he was "effing" gunned down for MAYBE shoplifting some cigars.

Holy Crap! I stold some Morgan David wine when I was 14, and received a police escort home to my parents. Of course, I am white, though
