In memory of Gentle Mike Brown – his parents Lesley McSpadden and step-dad Louis Head incited a riot in Ferguson after a grand jury refused to indict Officer Darren Wilson.
Louis Head screamed: “Burn this b*tch down.”
And dozens of Ferguson businesses were burnt to the ground.

In October Michael Brown’s mother, grandmother and auntie brawled on the corner of Canfield and West Florissant over the rights to T-shirt sales. Brown’s mother Leslie McSpadden reportedly assaulted and robbed grandmother Pearlie Gordon of $1,400.
T-shirts for sale at Michael Brown’s funeral.
Last week the St. Louis County NAACP honored Michael Brown’s mother Lesley McSpadden with a cash donation.
The St. Louis American reported:
The St. Louis County NAACP recognized Lesley McSpadden, mother of Michael Brown Jr., during the branch’s fifth annual Jazz Brunch on Saturday, December 20. McSpadden, joined at the event by several members of the Brown family, was privately presented with a check for an undisclosed amount.
It was a small “love token” of their appreciation, said John Gaskin III, local NAACP youth leader and national NAACP board member, “to let her know that she’s loved and that the county civil rights organization is remaining true to the fight for justice for her and her family.”
The event was held at the Ritz-Carlton in Clayton – a short distance away from where a St. Louis County grand jury chose not to indict then Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson in Brown’s fatal shooting on August 9.
Money for the gift came from an outpouring of support from the community.
Gaskin said, “Ever since August they’re saying, ‘How can we get this to the Brown family?’ There are several things in our office that are being mailed to Ms. McSpadden, all types of stuff that people want them to have for Christmas.”
