Where is the compassion, a child has been shot dead? What is fueling riots and such?
=========================================

The death of this teen was a catalyst but certainly does not justify the reaction on its own.

Most adults know about the grieving process. Anger and denial are real stages most parents would need to work through at a time like this. Rather than being allowed the time and compassion needed to work through this loss the parents and people who identify with them are having their emotions stirred up to act out, and as we can see decades of resentment are being piled on to fan the flames of anger.

"It remains to be seen who the "bad guy" is"
There are social issues deserving attention here but anyone and everyone who would exploit this event for their own benefit is no different than the sheiks who hijack religion to advance their own self serving radical agendas.

We all know who Michael Brown is, not exactly cherubic right?

Let's get some perspective here:
*4 children were murdered in their home last month by a man disguised as a FedEx delivery man.
Do you know their names... where is the coverage on this, where is the outrage?

*How about the 10 year old little girl shot last month while playing in a playground just a few feet from her home. Her name was Sierra. Any body covering this now, anybody care much?
