Next month, Lesley McSpadden will travel to the Swiss city to seek justice for her own son Michael Brown.

Ridiculous hogwash! Compared to the number of guns in private hands the government doesn't have diddly squat. Another stupid argument crushed by reality.
Wow, man...I’ve been looking everywhere, and I can’t find the satire tag...
Better hide those nice watches.
Of course they won’t bother to invite police officers shot by perps, or family members of police officers killed by criminals.
“Unarmed black.”
“Nobody is ever unarmed if they have arms”...I remember that saying from 30 years ago and it rings so true with this case. It’s a silly sounding quote but it’s the hardcore truth. Bare hands can kill just as much as a gun which is why we have this invention called “handcuffs”.
The $1,400 stolen from Granny?
So who is paying for this trip?
