Like many Americans, and media sources, I stopped paying a lot of attention to the happenings in Ferguson just as soon as it looked like Officer Darren Wilson was likely justified in the shooting of Michael Brown. The courts may decide differently, but from my perspective it looks like Brown was a thug and the officer more than likely acted in self-defense. Editor's Note: Scroll down to pause or lower the volume on the video.
But new reports have emerged of an incident that was reported to have happened last weekend.
It appears that Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden, showed up at a make-shift vendor's booth that was selling Michael Brown merchandise. The interesting part is that the merchandiser was Brown's grandmother and Grandma was being assisted by one of Brown's cousins.
Someone with McSpadden allegedly assaulted the cousin, Tony Petty, with "a metal pipe or pole" and then left with an estimated $1,400.
