Michale Brown Dead is Best Thing that Ever Happened to His Parents

Michael Brown was headed for a life of crime and bouts of prison and endless disappointment and misery to his parents. I know that, you know that, his parents know that. His lifetime earnings, if you want to call the fruits of pilferings and robberies earnings, would have amounted to a paltry sum. But Michael Brown dead is worth hundreds of times more to his parents than Michael Brown alive.
Consider the following: as of today, the Michael Brown Memorial Fund has raised over $275,000 in less than two weeks. The attorney for the family says, "These funds will not be used for legal fees; all funds will be given to the family of Michael Brown." [Emphasis mine, Bernie]
This may well be a new trend - you've heard of suicide by cop? In the future if a family needs to make a small fortune they'll simply send their son out for fund-raising by cop.
Cash it in baby, cash it in.
I don't want to sound cynical but I bet there are thousands of black families where the mother is slapping the back of her worthless son' s head and saying, "Now why can't you be just like Michael Brown and get some cop to bust a cap in yo head?"
Yes, I accidentally spelled his name wrong in the title. I sometimes make a mistake.
