The father of an 18-year-old black man whose fatal shooting by a white police officer earlier this month led to several days of occasionally violent protests in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, Mo. pleaded Sunday for a "day of silence" when he buries his son Monday.

"Tomorrow all I want is peace while my son is being laid to rest," Michael Brown Sr. told hundreds of people in St. Louis' largest city park during brief remarks at a festival that promotes peace over violence. "That's all I ask. And thank you."

He means that you Freepers should shut up ... not him, or Trayvon's parents, or Eric Holder, or me!

If he’s going to take to the podium, how about asking everyone to stop looting?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

It’s going to be a circus.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Aren't they supposed to call Saint Charging Bull an "unarmed black teenager?"

I thought that was the law?

BEN CARSON’S tone about everyone taking some responsibility is good. He is the real SHARP person in this drama. Hey, bad things happen every day, but like he said, he also lived in the ghetto, but he didn’t go looting or appear at the crack houses or do marijuana. People make choices. Michael Brown made some poor choices, and should have been at home instead of on the streets demanding the world rebuild his neighborhood...he should have been studying calculus.

Tonight the streets will explode.

I want Al Sharpton to accept the Chicago hood walk challenge.

[Vermont Lt]

Good, can I tell anyone mentioning Brown or Ferguson to STFU? Because that would be sweet.

There are rumors that Brown jr. had a juvi record, his Dad (Sr.) a felon and he lived with his grandma. It’s interesting that his upbringing has yet to come out (unlike the they way broken family story of St. Tray).

[AppyPappy]

We can only hope.

What do we want?
FREE STUFF!!!
When do we want it?
NOW!!!

[Paladin2]

I think Brown Jr. was an eligible, but unregistered (not yet) voter.

Call him a young man of voting age.

[Fresh Wind]

Will there be a memorial riot after the services?

I’m sure after the funeral there will be the obligatory march to city hall, or the police dept. or somewhere. They love to march in the street...............Hey, isn’t that what started this whole thing?

[Mr. K]

No, but I am betting there is some memorial looting afterwards

The race situation in this country is pretty much hopeless, thanks to LBJ and the policies of the left to give black people pretty much what they want.
Then non rev al & jessie spout absurdities and work the uninformed into a frenzy. Meanwhile white America can't understand what the hell is going on when THUGS run free and when caught blame it on Whitey.
Waiting on things to get better is not a strategy.
Charging al & jessie with inciting riots is good first start. It won't happen especially with the chief race baiter holder in charge.

One of the Breitbart writers is suing for Brown’s juvenile record.

Day of Rage fizzed, so a Day of Silence is a given. Every day. lol

Lol....because nothing says “honor” and “justice” like rage and looting!

[Ouchthatonehurt]

In lieu of flowers, looting a QuickStop or knockin’ out whitey is requested.
