vandals destroy michael brown memorial less than 24 hours after it is dedicated

[publicunofficial]

I've seen roadside memorials for people who died driving while drunk, and I didn't question whether they deserved to be memorialized. A person can be worth mourning, especially by their family or community, even if they committed a crime.

Yes, but there's obviously a context here.

Of what? You not liking who Michael Brown was or what he now stands for?

Exactly. It's just cruel. I put a portion of the blame on the professional agitators who riled up the area for months after the incident, but it still doesn't excuse this.

You're blaming the Ferguson Police Department? A very progressive opinion, I'm surprised.
