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.

The lynch mob isn’t happy with the facts coming out.
I wonder if Wilson was ordering Brown to stop and get on the ground when the fatal shot was fired. If Brown kept coming toward him that would have been a threat, and justification for the shooting, considering the previous altercation in the vehicle.
Does the Rev. carlon Lee have any affiliation with Jesse Jackson’s church (where is it btw) or Al Sharpton’s congregation (where is it? On the next street corner?)
I believe that the underlying cause of this and all other trumped up faux outrage regarding so-called racism is the UNDENIABLE AND EXTREMELY EMBARRASSING FACT that 5 decades of black and white liberal leadership have led African Americans right down the toilet.
It’s obvious to anyone with an IQ over 20 what pathetic failures they all are (leaders and followers) and that embarrassment is driving this frenzy of insanity around the country.
They have become their own feral society. It won’t affect us, but it will sure affect them if they act out.
And this is not about race. It is about culture. Theirs is poison to all who embrace it.
Agreed.
For the majority of them, I'll agree with that plan.
Concurrently however, terminal ventilation of a few dozen ringleaders would go a long way to causing second thoughts among the wannabes next time.
Like the movie PURGE ?
They’re making threats of nationwide violence if they don’t get their way but outside of St Louis I just don’t see any real outrage.
This is their admission that the facts are proving that Brown attacked the officer but they don’t care - it is their fallback just like when obam screws something up and they yell racism - no personal responsibility because they see everything through a racists eyes
IOW- The facts do not matter.
Lynch whitey
Good question.

You are not thinking like a liberal. You are thinking like a conservative. Conservatives factor in personal responsibility. Liberals do not.
In modern liberalism there are no failures among minorities. There are only victims. The more you appear to have failed, the more in fact—as they see it—you have been victimized. The more you have been victimized the angrier you get, and the more entitled you feel to reparations.
If the grand jury doesn’t indict, it will mean supreme victimhood for Michael Brown’s community. When they riot and loot, they’ll only be getting the reparations to which they’ll be entitled.
I don’t believe any of that. I am a conservative. But I’m letting you know how liberals think. It’s a whole different world out there.
The rioters should rebuild it. Every time they do this, make them rebuild what they destroyed.
Correct.
Let. Ferguson. Blow. Up. If the local criminals can’t handle the truth, then let them suffer the consequences of their illegal actions. All the news media are after is the ability to create stories to generate more viewers.
Do that would require some building skills and intelligence. I personally wouldn't want to go into a building that these rioters had some hand on.
