Tear Gas Canisters Flying In Ferguson
Lighter fluid was poured on a police car by protesters, and police met protesters with tear gas canisters after the announcement that Officer Darren Wilson would not be indicted.

People outside the courthouse didn’t seem to care about the specifics or justification not to indict before resorting to some isolated acts of violence. So what’s the point? If, by peacefully gathering and awaiting the decision, you tacitly accept that the judicial process has to run its course, then why start shooting weapons and smashing cars when the decision doesn’t go your way?
So now the tear-gas cannisters are flying. There are reports of looting. Riot police are advancing on protesters. It’s going to be a rough night in Ferguson.[su_csky_ad]

It’s not like we didn’t predict this but I wish it had remained peaceful.

These are the rising costs of hiring Klansman Wilson after his prior Klan PD was disbanded.

and of letting Klansman WIlson off scott free. I noticed in the 20 minute final summation the prosecutor never referred to Mike Brown as the victim.

Victims tend to be innocent, victims don’t attack people, victims don’t rob stores.

Victims tend to be innocent, victims don’t attack people, victims don’t rob stores.
_______
1) We don’t know who was or was not a victim and who was or was not innocent. (That is why red flags about a grand jury went up right away).
2) Unfortunately, no matter what ACTUALLY happened, this was handled in a the way most designed to give the appearance of a white wash.
That is why the Mound City Bar Association, had asked McCulloch to recuse himself indicating that there is a vast amount of distrust in McCulloch’s ability to deal with this case properly. McCulloch’s decisions in this case add to that suspicion.
3) victims don’t rob stores.
Isn’t that essentially what Cliven Bundy did? The Boston Tea Party?

1) The grand jury seems to know.
2) No it wasn’t handled as well as it should have been. The feds. were watching the proceedings. Wasn’t that supposed to make sure everything was on the up and up?
3) Victims don’t rob stores.

1) The grand jury seems to know.
___________
There is no evidence of that.
They know what the prosecutor allows them to know.
If he is an advocate for Wilson, (which is why the Bar Association said he should recuse himself) it is very doubtful.
2) No it wasn’t handled as well as it should have been. The feds. were watching the proceedings. Wasn’t that supposed to make sure everything was on the up and up?
______
Not yet. It was left in the hands of the locals.
3) Victims don’t rob stores.
_______
We don’t know who are victims and who is robbing.

Victims get shot after saying I give up and standing there with their hands up..
who robbed a store?
