Letter: Ferguson is a mess, but not the one you think

Publishers,

I read your article on “Ferguson: Wrong on many levels.” You seem to be bias [sic]on the article. Yes, it is a mess. But answer the question, “Who created this mess?” And second, it was a character assassination.

Why do you think the Brown family lawyer had to be talking to Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton? Haven’t we all at some time used a phrase that was created by someone else? It makes me wonder what the outcome would have been if a black police officer shot and killed an “unarmed” white teenager.

This country is going backwards in race relations. It seems to me that ever since Barack Obama became president, there has been a war against black boys. Just saying. The one thing I do agree with you on is that looting is stealing and is wrong. I don’t condone it but some people do outrageous and unacceptable things when they are angry or frustrated.
