okay here is the super short scoop up on this ordeal with ferguson, about three months ago a young and unarmed black boy by the name of michael brown was gunned down by police in missouri and his body left for dead in the streets for hours afterwards. there were witnesses to this event, however in the past few days his murderer daren wilson was not indicted for his crime and we all know this is due to the inherently racist and oppressive mechanics of the systems of this country i and many of my watchers live in, and all throughout these months law enforcement has been and continues to incite violence and riot in protests
i am saying this in the shortest hand possible due to time constraints disallowing me from spending as much time as i would like on the internet and thus elaborating more but if you must know(and i implore that you do), you may research and learn for your own selves
i also know it can be hard to know what you can do as a singular person on the internet especially if you happen to live far away across the country or even further like i do but there are resources available of what you can possibly do
money and things can be tight and if you yourself cannot exactly donate then please spread the word at the very least. dont let this just fall to a wayside as things usually do
and also if any of yall have issue with me posting this then honestly i have no sympathy nor shits to give to you
