The answers to these questions above are so true, yet they still manage to sadden me. Mike Brown's death is only a symbol. I found myself thinking about how hard it will be when I have a black son. He will have to face this same type of discrimination, and the sheer thought almost brought me to tears. I commend the people of Ferguson for making so much noise, the rest of the world had no choice but to stand beside the protesters. I thought the story of Treyvon Martin went away too quietly, and I was happy to see someone fighting back. The non-indictment was not a loss, but rather the fact that so many people connected and united over Mike Brown is a victory. His death was not in vein. He united a people and started a movement. We are protesting, because we will no longer take this abuse sitting down.Taylor M (Voice and Diction-01)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837901219583668417.post-81230816522480426152014-09-25T22:18:56.337-05:002014-09-25T22:18:56.337-05:00Why did people go to F,Mo.?

Yes, Mike Brown is gone, but his blood stills speaks! The stain is there! You very hard to wash away a bloodstain!

These issues are based in the injustices that have taken place over the course of time. There is no question the Michael Brown's death was tragic. It must also be said that there are other issue beyond his death that are at the heart of tensions in Ferguson and other communities. These tensions result at least in part from the desire for freedom, the need for economic security, the need for trust, and the need for a positive interactive relationship among all parties. Can this be achieved? Yes. Will it be? That remains to be seen as people from all sides deal with all aspects of personal and corporate interaction. The religious community can be an impactful force along with the people of the community of Ferguson.John C.

Today it doesn't seem like we have that cohesiveness. When Trayvon Martin was killed we should have protested, we should have boycotted, we should have made our voices heard. Now we have this incident in our community again. How much innocent and wrongful bloodshed will have to take place before we come together and make them hear us?DH-MTSnoreply@blogger.com
