A massive earthquake or tornado on the site would be a wonderful thing. A bunch of racist thugs getting together to honor another racist thug, who tried to kill a cop.

And yet again, willful neglect of the facts. Brown attacked a cop, that’s why he was shot. We live in dangerous times when a significant segment of the population willfully ignores the truth.

I’ll have no part of it, but sooner or later some folks are going to get sick and tired of this dog-n-pony show and act out. When they do, the media will not understand why in the manner they always understand when others act out.

Are they going to ceremonially put some policemen to the torch?

NBC shows St Big in his high school cap and gown. Wonder if they’ll include the pic of St Big stopping by the convenience store to pick up the store clerk...and some Swishers.

Here's my deep and theological question.... what the heck is up with Sharpton's head? It's way too big for his body and neck. He looked more proportioned when he was overweight.

Now back to discussing the more important aspects of this subject...

I’m not impressed. Unless Flava Flav is there. Then I’ll be impressed.

Agree. Most of the posts, at the article link, are slamming these “celebrities” and the MSM for turning this into a circus.

One post defended St Trayvon’s parents for attending St Big’s funeral...to show support...since they were both unarmed and shot. (Funny how they completely miss the part about thugs doing what they SHOULDN’T be doing and the whole struggling for the weapon thing.)

Wonder if St Trayvon’s and St Big’s folks will be attending any of the Chicago crime victims’ funerals.

It will be different once any one of them has a break-in at one of their palatial homes.

Then we'll see if they want to attend the funeral of the house-breaker/mugger!

But OH-I forgot...they probably spend more than I MAKE just to keep guys like ‘Brown’ off THEIR radar!!

Yes....the Obama glorification of another Black racist thug!!! Not gonna work this time!!! The racist game is over....Blacks just ain’t figured it out yet!!! Obama/Sharpton have screwed American Blacks so bad ....they will be adrift-at-sea for the next hundred years!!! Fools!!! One piece of good news.....the Obama/Sharpton hate “Whitey” demonstrations and raliies had very low attendance from the African-American community!!! Maybe the good folks are seeing the light of day!!! Their so-called leaders are certainly not gonna show it to them...Gotta keep the brothers & sisters on the economic slavery plantation...so we can stay in power and keep them agitated with “Whitey & the police”!!!

I will be looking to hearing Al Sharpton speaking of the numerous achievements and charity work Micheal Brown did in his 18 years before he bullied store owners half his size and then beat a cop nearly senseless.

When I look in at this Church service, I see only a group of people that support abortion ,gay marriage, the removal of God Christ from classroom/public square, the removal of Christian Crosses from Veterans cemeteries etc.

When they vote Democrat they give their OK to all these NON Christian evils.

So now they raise their hands towards heaven and ask for God`s blessing.

I am only a sinner saved by grace! But I am told in my Bible that Repentance is necessary, or at the very least an attempt at it.

When people vote for abortion time and time again, there is clearly no repentance.

My God is a loving and forgiving God, THe Lord Jesus Christ, but they seem to think that repentance is not necessary. To vote for abortion and a host of anti Christian issues that are not even temptations of the flesh that we struggle with, they are in your face decisions against a Holy God.

BTW I say the same thing about white Liberals

Celebrities, Activists Gather for Michael Brown's Funeral

.... to try to elbow their way in to the cause-of-the-day spotlight. They had no clue who he was before and three months from now, they won't be able to remember his name.

It's all about the LOOK AT ME mentality of the left.

I heard he was armed with stolen cigars from an aggrivated assault. Not to mention his fists.

They should have asked Franklin Graham to do the service, he would have absolutely offered a Altar Call , and they would have heard the Gospel. I dont think they hear it today.
