Ferguson tragedy becoming a farce
The Washington Post ^ | September 12, 2014 | Dana Milbank

What happened in Ferguson, Mo., last month was a tragedy. What’s on course to happen there next month will be a farce.

October is when a grand jury is expected to decide whether to indict the white police officer, Darren Wilson, who killed an unarmed black teenager by firing at least six bullets into him. It’s a good bet the grand jurors won’t charge him, because all signs indicate that the St. Louis County prosecutor, Robert McCulloch, doesn’t want them to.

The latest evidence that the fix is in came this week from The Post’s Kimberly Kindy and Carol Leonnig, who discovered that McCulloch’s office has declined so far to recommend any charges to the grand jury. Instead, McCulloch’s prosecutors handling the case are taking the highly unusual course of dumping all evidence on the jurors and leaving them to make sense of it....

Smearing the prosecutor because Milback prefers mob rule in the jury box as well as in the sreets isn’t much of an intellectual exercise, but serves the campaign stategy to get the Dem plantation vote out for the midterms.

The media tries to make Ferguson a national political issue, along with the Dept of Justice.

OMG!!! I just looked in the dictionary and that’s the very definition of a fix.

“He was a good boy.”

Just a little “emotionally confused.”

And he did have prior records for assaulting the Mom and others, but he didn’t mean it.

I was going to say, “That’s a man, baby!”, but after viewing the photo, I’m not so sure.

Its been a farce from the beginning. A big ugly racebaiting media farce to lynch a white cop, who by all appearances defended his own life against a violent thug.

Dana Milbank — another pathetic liberal suck-up. The law is the law, but he still wants to stomp his feet and show everyone that he is a ‘morally superior’ person.

Typical Leftist - thinks that giving the Grand Jury folks the evidence and letting them decide is too much like giving Truth a chance - much preferable to just tell them what you want them to decide...

I doubt it. If the police shooting that black kid in the Ohio Walmart just because he was carrying a pellet gun didn’t raise a fuss I doubt this will as well. Ferguson made the news because of the original claims that Brown was stopped with his hands raised when the cop shot him. It mushroomed from there.

The tragedy of Ferguson is rewarding what created it rather than lancing the boil and draining the poison.

The tragedy of Ferguson is what created it is being encouraged, not challenged.

The danger of Ferguson is that which created it is growing in its own gathering darkness and continuing to fester and spread, while those who clothe themselves as "healers" apply dissent and discord like fertilizer and water deeply.
