The mother of Michael Brown, the Ferguson teen killed in an Aug. 9 altercation with Officer Darren Wilson, was caught on video reacting in curse-laden anger to the grand jury’s decision not to indict.
“You mother[expletives] think this is a joke,” said Lesley McSpadden, seeming to direct her outrage at the broadcasted announcement of Officer Wilson’s release from any indictment, The Blaze reported. “They think this is a [expletive] joke!”
Ms. McSpadden then said, as the crowd broke into chants of support: ’”Y’all know you’re all wrong! Y’all know you’re all wrong. And anybody out here who don’t think so, I don’t give a [expletive]. They wrong! Everybody want me to be calm — do you know how them bullets hit my son? Ain’t nobody had to live through what I had to live through,” The Blaze reported.
Ferguson erupted in looting, violence and gunfire shortly after the prosecutor announced the grand jury’s decision — that not enough evidence existed to indict Officer Wilson on any charges in the shooting death of Brown.
