Meanwhile in Ferguson, Missouri



In the almost two weeks since Mike Brown was murdered in Ferguson, Missouri we have seen what most residents would call a peaceful community turn into a war zone. With images going viral through social media the scenery looks like a battle between the citizens and powers that be in some third world countries. In what seems like a case that needed no more than common sense to see who was in the wrong and at fault, a war has begun. Literally, with Martial Law allowing the National Guard to occupy and take action on this community whether provoked or not. 



What we are seeing before our eyes is the veil of so called freedom being lifted to see the harsh reality of corrupt powers in control. Our society thrives off silence, fear, and ignorance; so the relentless pursuit for justice in Ferguson is throwing the authorities off. Where normally the crowds would have dispersed with the next breaking news segment, the voices have only grown in numbers and gotten larger.
