A grand jury may decide not to indict the officer who shot Michael Brown. If that happens, Ferguson will explode again.
The Rev. Carlon Lee, pastor of Flood Christian Church in Ferguson, Mo., was sending out links to a New York Times story Friday night to friends, family and community members who have spent the last two months absorbed in the events surrounding the death of teenager Michael Brown. The story cited forensic evidence offered by federal officials that showed Brown’s blood on officer Darren Wilson’s uniform and gun, which was found to have been fired inside Wilson’s patrol car.
“I believe that when people have received (the Times) article and see what’s going on it will infuriate people and set us back,” Lee said. “No matter what happened in (Wilson’s) car, Michael Brown’s hands were up. No matter if he beat the crap out of Officer Wilson, his hands were up—a universal sign of surrendering.”
It’s impossible to tell whether the story being sent out by Lee on Friday night would result in increased action on the streets of Ferguson, but one thing, as it has all along, remains clear: If Wilson isn’t indicted chaos will once again reign.
“If there’s a non-indictment I think you’ll see an immediate uproar,” Lee said. “I don’t think people have seen the amount of unrest and anger that will come if there’s a non-indictment.”
If the evidence released Friday is any indication, both are inevitable.

Good for them! If the sensible people everywhere stood firm against mob rule and intimidation like those people did, that s*** would stop in a month or less-I mean, we don’t read about the mob rioting for bread and circuses in Rome after Alaric and his Visigoths sacked it in 410, do we? And his methods were far more barbaric than would be needed...
‘they are stuck in their corner or victim hood and I honestly do not see how they will ever be released from that.’
You nailed it. The ‘compassion’ of liberalism is vicious cruelty. In the name of self-esteem and other rot the leftists in charge of our schools have ruined generation after generation. The GOP should have stepped in decades ago, but they were too busy feathering their Permanent Political Class nests. The situation is just about hopeless.
Maybe a POTUS in the mold of Reagan could help...and then of course there’s prayer. Nothing is too difficult for God.
That is what I think should happen as well-if they are so damn knowledgeable, let them figure it out all by their little selves, without anyone else’s money...
If the animals start sny crap, shoot and kill them until they behave.
I’ve begun to wonder if God isn’t getting pissed off by now...
Anyone know of a petition for no federal funds to rebuild.
Yes the schools and the media do an excellent job of rewriting reality. But reality is still out there in the open, despite their best efforts at covering it up.
And THEY know what it looks like, even if their schools and leaders and media friends won’t tell them.
We live in a nation of the EMPORERS NEW CLOTHES and everyone knows it and it’s driving some of the tailors insane.
It remains to be seen at what distance Wilson shot Brown, but everything up to the actual shooting shows a picture of an out of control youth who thought he could assault an officer of the law and get away with it. The medical examiner said Brown had pot in his system. My view is Brown was high on pot and in a belligerent mood....obvious after just robbing a convenience store and roughing up a clerk. He stuck his head in the gator's mouth, and got severely bitten for his efforts.
The racist half-black homosexual Musloid community agitator in the White Hut has to keep Ferguson going until November 4th. After that, we’ll never hear of it again.
“The rioters should rebuild it. Every time they do this, make them rebuild what they destroyed.”
But they are opposed to ‘work’, aren’t they? ;-)
Every officer should wash their hands of it and let it explode. Give it a month and sweep up the remains.
I’d be interested to know if there is, but I doubt anything will said about money until things are more settled-then some democrat senator or rep will try to fly a request for funds under the radar for a vote...
No matter what happened in (Wilson’s) car, Michael Brown’s hands were up. No matter if he beat the crap out of Officer Wilson, his hands were up—a universal sign of surrendering.”
What he meant:
No matter what happened in (Wilson’s) car, the folks in the community are going to burn this city to the ground.”
The Irish and other immigrants were treated worse than slaves because the slaves, being chattel, were a capital investment that had significant value to the owner. Whenever really dangerous work had to be done, it was not the slaves that did it, it was the Irish, the Germans, the Italians, or the Chinese that were thrown into the hopper. Their death cost the contractor nothing. In the anthracite regions of Central Pennsylvania, two of my great uncles died in different mines on the same day. Their bodies were brought home to the family and laid out on the front porch. That the mining company's obligation ended with that.
When digging for New Canal in New Orleans began, no slaves were used because the area was disease ridden and huge numbers of the workers were expected to die, and, in the event, twenty thousand Irishmen did. If their sacrifice itself is forgotten, it did give rise to memorable bit of doggerel at least:
Ten thousand Micks, they swung their picks/ To dig the New Canal/But the colleray was stronger than they/ And twice it killed them all
Sometimes people and institutions have to do the right thing despite threats from ignorant mobs. Inditing Darren Wilson won’t do anything to serve justice, nor prevent black thugs or innocent blacks from being killed on the streets. Before the death toll of murdered blacks can be stopped, blacks will have to face the truth that the problem begins with them, not cops, not whites, not white privilege, or with slavery, or the founding of this country, but right in their own black hearts.

No matter if he has injured the officer who’s now looking out of one eye at most, no matter if you are approaching him EVEN AFTER he shot you and he knows that you are just pretending you “give” until you get close enough to kill the cop, raising your hands is a universal get-out-of-jail-free card. Now all you need is some worthless bystanders to lie and say he raised his hands while the cop ran around behind him and shot him in the back before driving his patrol car over him repeatedly, gunning the engine as the bones in the poor boy’s body broke....
They get an emotional ‘high’ by inciting riots. They like the ‘high’. It’s a natural ‘fix’ to their soulish desires.
They will fabricate a righteous perspective, ignoring just solutions, to justify their desires for the riots, looting, theft, vandalism, and will further degenerate into murder and bloodshed if they can get away without being held accountable.
They have had plenty of time to recount their past immoral behavior and lawless standards. They prefer to live that lifestyle than live responsibly with freedom.
It is truly sad. I’m currently on a ‘super’ grand jury here in Cook County IL. What I’ve seen and heard in just one week of this 4 week commitment, has caused me to see things I wish I’d never seen. Took a ‘tour’ of the jail this week, it was un-freakin-believeable.
It is so deeply entrenched that I honestly don’t see a solution. Too many making a ton of money off the grievance industry. I’m relying on prayers.
We have the professional protestors from out of town. They are the hardest to please.
They want a riot. Even is concessions are made, they still want mayhem. Nothing will compell them to back down.
They want whites killed and suffering. They want fires and complete lawlessness. This has nothing to do with Michael Brown.
The are MAD that they are black and want something to appease their unappeasable anger at being black in a world they feel does not accommodate them.
A very sad situation.
