Austin Protests Planned After Ferguson Decision (TX)
KEYETV ^ | Nov. 25, 2014 | KEYETV

Later Tuesday in Austin, people are planning to protest the grand jury's decision not to indict the Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson for shooting and killing Michael Brown.

Occupy Austin put out a message on Twitter promoting a rally in front of the Austin Police Department at 6 p.m. Tuesday, less than 24 hours after a peaceful protest that stretched late into the night Monday. "I can't tell you how many times here cops have been brought in front of the grand jury and exonerated," said Harrington. "And that's not the function of the grand jury to exonerate them. The function is: is there enough here to go to trial? For any other member of the community they're just routinely indicted and sent to trial."

Sure, as if TX is anywhere close to Ferguson.

Yo yo yo, Harrington, the GJ did exactly what they were supposed to do.

Houston’s supposed to have one, tonight (now?), too. MacGregor Park. I’ve not seen the local news to see how it’s going.

Maybe one day . . . these occupy idiots will actually get real jobs. They obviously have too much time on their hands. This guy lives in TX and is throwing a hissy about something that happened two states over.

Every state in the Union has its lunatic fringe; however, they do seem to gravitate to college campuses.

Because nothing says we were wronged! More than looting, rampaging, and arson. In your own neighborhood, to make yourself worse off.

Dallas and San Antonio, too. Dallas has the potential to get ugly.

Why would Oslo Norway, Tokyo Japan, and Canadians protest? Sheer insanity.

Show you have some real guts and plan a protest for Cistern, TX. Y’all are a bunch of yella-bellied cowards if you don’t go tell the folks in Cistern, TX what y’all think of them.

Mark Levin just said the New York Slimes printed Officer Wilson’s address.

(Wilson may not be there, but I’m sure some of his belongings are there as well as many nervous neighbors.)

Even in CA and NY there were only a few marches, some arrests and very minor disturbances.

There will be nothing else happening like what occurred in the St. Louis area last night. IMO.

Not for this event anyway.

I live in Austin and I’ve met a couple of these Occupy Austin Types...

EVERY one of them:
1) are trust fund babies,
2) live in Travis Heights or another WEALTHY 1% neighborhood the rest of us could NEVER afford to live,
3) drive daddies BMW,
4) eat at many of the more upscale restaurants
5) drink lattes at the snotty coffee houses in the lefty neighborhoods while quoting Cjomsky on how to save the world from itself

.....and most importantly, these a—holes have unbelievable contempt for the people they supposedly want to help!!!

But we all knew that anyway...
