I feel very lucky to be living ten miles south of such a historical Saint Louis event. Don't get me wrong, the murder and protests in Ferguson are terrible. Beyond the mourning of a community member and irresponsible actions taken by a small group of people there, it is the constant camera, recorder, and reporter there to get the next big story that has truly harmed the community. I believe in telling a story and informing the public, but I had enough with the demonization of not only Ferguson, but of Saint Louis as a whole. I respect my hometown and do see a need for change in certain social areas, but that does not mean everyone in this community is a racist or violent.
