A few miles away, at the Metro Shooting Supplies gun shop in Bridgeton, the sense of threat has driven record sales, including more than 100 handguns and other weapons sold over a three-day stretch ending last Sunday. Shooting lessons are booked through 2015. “You can literally see the fear in people’s eyes,” says owner Steve King. “People are anticipating far worse than last time.”
Throughout the St. Louis area, citizens fear the riots that engulfed the city over the summer are about to return. A grand jury deliberating whether to indict police officer Darren Wilson in the Aug. 9 shooting death of Michael Brown is expected to come to a decision this month, perhaps as soon as late this week. And amid a steady drip of leaks that appear to corroborate Wilson‘s account of the encounter, protesters are readying for the possibility that the officer won’t be indicted on murder or manslaughter charges.
As a result, local law enforcement, politicians and protesters alike are bracing for the specter of another wave of unrest

Few riots occur in the bitter cold. So make the announcement as soon as possible.
On the bright side, they can get their Christmas looting done early.
Out of curiosity, anybody know where all the troublemakers who’ve poured into the Ferguson area are staying, and how their stays are funded? That would be an interesting set of facts to have.
Detestable
That would have a chilling effect on the rights to assemble and to petition to air grievances.
The LSM and Holder keeping it hot in Ferguson. making sure nobody gives up on the big fight. The grand cause. Threats, fear mongering, race baiting. They call that civil rights. They’re all full of s#|+!
with the temperatures in the 20’s, now’s the time for the decision....protesters aren’t that hardy!!!
I seem to recall that the grand jury meets on Wednesdays. Today’s weather seems about right. This has been hanging over everyone’s head long enough. The posturing of the rioters and the left is tiresome.
August 9 2014...wow it seems like this happened a DECADE ago...
Imagine the hubub if these same rabble rousers were to make the same amount of noise about the day in and day out Black On Black VIOLENCE that takes hundreds of lives a year in many “inner cities”
The Obama Thug Corps ready to follow up on Holder’s legacy - Blacks are never guilty of anything.
“how their stays are funded?”
I have heard that a lot of this is coming from newblackpanthers out of oakland cali.
Burn baby burn
They are assuming the people of Ferguson are going to behave violently just because they are from a black neighborhood. Is this racism of low expectations really justified?
We’ve been bracing for over a month. Get on with it.
Any chance of a blizzard hitting the area? That would be the perfect time to announce that the grand jury is not going to indict. It is hard to bus in rioters when the roads are closed and it is cold outside.
But they’ll be instigators from outside that town.
Other than he Sharpton types, the vast majority of the troublemakers are debris overflowing from St. Louis.They either walk or steal a car and drive home...
I think it’s being based on recent history , not to mention Al Sharpton , Eric Holder , Jesse Jackson , unions , and Palestinians inserting themselves into the situation .
