I'm tired....

Of people trying to turn thugs into angels.

I'm tired....

Of the press leaping to conclusions and thereby causing unrest.

I'm tired....

Of believing the dead thug was a good kid just because his parents said so.

I'm just tired....

When I was a social worker I grew tired of grandparents saying how great their kids were, you know, the kids whose kids the grandparents were raising because the State took them way.

"I am incensed," Laura Keys, 50, told The St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "I can't believe this is the tactic they are using, bringing up a robbery to make the victim look like he was the person who created this whole mess."

The attorney representing Brown's family, Benjamin Crump, said Brown's parents are "incensed" by what he calls "the old game of smoke and mirrors." He says the family was blind-sided by Friday's announcement.


Crump says "it's bad enough they assassinated him, and now they're trying to assassinate his character."

I don't agree on combining the release of the officer's name with this armed robbery information, because it will be viewed just like what's been quoted....as an attempt to "assassinate" the dead kid's character.

Also, if the guy who was with the dead kid -- you know the dude running around, talking to all the media about his eyewitness account -- was involved in this armed robbery....why is he still walking free? If what the cops are saying now is true, this dude should have been arrested days ago, not out in front of tv cameras like some star witness!

I saw an interview with the police chief there, and he's not an articulate man to say the least. Obviously public speaking or communication isn't his strength.

I have nothing to say about Crump. Nothing good to say, that is. So I'll just ignore what he has to say.
