| The necktie to conk for. |
Michael Brown was a thug who basically got what he deserved, when he was shot trying to kill constabulary officeholder Darren Wilson.
One argue he turned out this agency was clearly because of bad parenting. Now it seems bad parenting is beingness rewarded alongside a short town betwixt the City of Ferguson in addition to Brown's parents that pays the latter $1.5 million.
This coin volition of course of education come upwards from the City's taxation base, which volition include those citizens -- Black in addition to White -- who are able to pay taxes. As for the welfare gratuitous loaders who helped elect the city's administration that agreed to this dingy deal, they won't lose a thing, except in that place volition survive to a greater extent than line per unit of measurement area to cutting other services. Maybe that volition encourage about of them to deed on elsewhere in addition to maybe that is the intention of the nevertheless White mayor who lately got reelected but volition apparently lose his project if the metropolis keeps getting Blacker.
But the biggest slice of fallout from this is that it sends out a unsafe subliminal message to all Black parents:
"Don't worry virtually non bringing upwards your kids right. If they larn shot past times cops, fifty-fifty if they fully deserve it, you lot could survive inwards job for a large payday."
This isn't the kickoff fourth dimension that Brown's parents choose been "rewarded" for their son's death. There were reports that they profiteered off merchandising at their son's funeral, in addition to fifty-fifty fought an unsightly "turf war" alongside other relatives over the proceeds. They choose too benefited from donations in addition to payments from charities, sympathizers, in addition to media organizations.
I'm certain they choose about normal regrets over the decease of their son, but looking at how much of a coin machine they choose made it into, maybe their biggest regret is that they don't choose a minute boy to larn himself killed inwards this extremely profitable way, but in that place are enough of other Black families who do.
