Yes, you're right. I just found the story. It looks like Michael Brown's mother is just as violent as he was. Like mother, like son. LOL!
Michael Brown's family engaged in infighting and stealing from each other while trying to sell memorabilia related to his shooting in a parking lot outside a local BBQ stand. LOL! You just can't make this $hit up, GZ.
There's a video news report describing the incident in the link below.
Michael Brown family brawls in parking lot over merchandise peddling

excerpt:
Family members of Michael Brown, the 18-year-old who was killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Mo., recently fought in a parking lot over merchandise related to his death.
Michael Brown’s mother, Lesley McSpadden, has asked that her son not be used for business sales or political actions. Last Saturday she found her son’s grandmother, Pearlie Gordon, and his cousin, Tony Petty, selling t-shirts in the parking lot of Red’s BBQ, a few blocks from where Mr. Brown was shot, a local Fox affiliate reported Wednesday.
A witness said Ms. McSpadden jumped out of a car, accompanied by another unidentified person, and yelled “You can’t sell this [expletive].”
One of the relatives peddling the merchandise demanded that Ms. McSpadden show a document to prove that she had a patent.
Then, according to the police report, an unidentified person with Ms. McSpadden attacked Ms. Petty with a metal pipe or pole, striking her in the face. The attack resulted in a 911 call.
The witness said the assault suspect took the merchandise and about $1,400 in cash.
Authorities have not yet made any arrests, the local station reported. |
