You know, a lot of folks, just regular folks, have spent the better part of the last 15 minutes trying to talk to family members, trying to hug family members. So at this point, theyre getting into their cars and theyre going to make that journey to a cemetery nearby where Michael Brown jr. Is going to be laid to rest. We should also note, joy, that the funeral itself was actually cut short. The funeral went just north of two hours. There were a number of speakers that were scheduled to speak that the family decided that it was time to cut things short. So there are probably half a dozen speakers that did not get up, some local politicians as well as state politicians as well. And craig, you know, this is obviously very surreal for this family. Its never easy, obviously. This family has lost a child. But theyre also doing this under the crush of media. I mean, can you estimate just how much media is actually there .

I talked to the chief of police and they said theyre treating this like its a big event or concert and they were prepared if anything did happen. Luckily inside nothing ended up happening. The big story, though, would say, is in this city a place where president ial candidates dont often come to visit so theres a real excitement today about donald trump coming here, so there are lot of families that came out to this event, parents bringing their kid, kids bringing their parents. I spoke to
