In reply to the discussion: Mike Brown is dead. [View all]Thespian2
(2,741 posts)39. Okay, I'll flame you.
If this represents your idea of thinking, you need more work on using your brain. How can you call Michael Brown a thug? How long have you known him? How in Hell can you foresee the future of a young man whose future was determined by a police man who was determined to kill him? And who cares if you marched for civil rights if you don't understand them? I walked behind the coffin of Martin Luther King, Jr. in Atlanta. Does that give me any special knowledge or special place? No.
