In 1938 Time magazine made Hitler man of the year...so this comes as no surprise











One of Kaepernick's own. St Michael.



BTW...This is his real headstone.



Brown is among the most notable residents of 160-year-old St. Peter's Cemetery, but there is no headstone marking his grave. Instead the burial plot — Section 10, Block F, Lot 12, Grave 4 — is visible only when gazing down at a concrete slab simply spray-painted in orange with "MB."

Other matters have interfered in getting the permanent headstone in place, said Lyah LeFlore, vice president of the Michael O.D. Brown "We Love Our Sons & Daughters" Foundation that Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden, helped launch in her late son's memory. Among the distractions: The unfolding wrongful-death lawsuit that McSpadden and Brown's father filed against Ferguson, the St. Louis suburb's former police chief and Darren Wilson, the officer who shot and killed Brown during an August 2014 confrontation.

The cost presumably isn't an issue: In the weeks after Brown's death, hundreds of thousands of dollars were raised through fundraising websites to defray the family's funeral, burial, travel and living expenses.


"Everybody has to do things kind of at their own pace," LeFlore said of efforts to mark Brown's grave. McSpadden added "I just want something beautiful, poetic, and wonderful in her son's memory. It has just taken time."


Translation: 

We spent the money. 

But they did have $3.95 left for a can of spray paint to honor her "beloved son."

How touching.
