Michael Brown’s mom taking son’s case to the UN Committee Against Torture Written by Allen West

I just have to put this one down in the “no, this can’t be really happening” category. However, I did everything to examine if this was a hoax but it appears not.

According to Vice News, “Lesley McSpadden, the mother of the 18-year-old boy (Michael Brown) whose death at the hands of a Ferguson police officer in August sparked weeks of protests, is going to Geneva, Switzerland next month to speak about her son and other victims of police brutality in front of the United Nations. Mike Brown’s killing is still under investigation by federal officials, while a local grand jury tasked with deciding whether to charge officer Darren Wilson for his death is supposed to make an announcement any day — with few in Ferguson believing that an indictment is likely. But with little faith in the justice her son will receive, McSpadden, accompanied by one of the family’s lawyers and a handful of local activists and human rights advocates, is taking her son’s case — and that of other victims of racial profiling and police violence — straight to the UN Committee Against Torture, the body tasked with preventing torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment and punishment around the world.”

They must be expecting no charges to be filed against the officer. Otherwise why would they go to all of this trouble? They plan on using the decision as proof of institutional racism.

The same UN that had Iran (or was it some other totalitarian regime) as the head of the human rights committee? The UN can go suck an egg.

Is she talking about the way the Gentle Giant was raised?
Having the parents/grandparents that he did probably reaches the level of 'torture'.

I guess there isn’t any real torture in the world to look into...

The UN wants the perspective of the torturer’s mother?

Let's see now:

    Michael Brown is Dead
  1. Local court - NO CASE
  2. Justice Department - NO CASE
  3. The U N - Maybe we will get lucky.

I wonder if she will speak about the torture Mike did to the store clerk that he tossed around while stealing his smokes?

I’m guessing her IQ is below the 85-average of Eric Holder’s people.

Nonsense. Take every dollar, destroy every opponent, never compromise, never admit defeat or a mistake, that’s the leftist way.

Pretty humanely too. Can’t feel much after a shot to the top of the head.
