After our brother Michael Brown was shot dead with his hands up in the air by Officer Darren Wilson and Mike Mike’s body was left to rot in the street for four and a half hours in front of our people – our children, our mothers, all of us – we were angry. We were filled with rage at our situation. The media and politicians then suggested that Mike Mike’s murder was somehow justified by his having taken some cigars from a store without giving the store pieces of magic paper. This angered us more. Some of our brothers and sisters were so angry that they set the store on fire and took all the things they wanted, without any respect for the magic paper that our oppressors are always telling us is so important.
