Ferguson Protesters Anticipate Bad News In Michael Brown Case

FERGUSON, Mo. -- Demonstrators calling for the arrest of Darren Wilson, the police officer who shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown in August, are anticipating that the officer will not be charged. Many of them are predicting widespread protests if the grand jury reviewing the case decides to acquit Wilson.

A crowd of around 100 gathered Monday along South Florissant Road, with many calling for the arrest of Wilson, who killed Brown in this St. Louis suburb on Aug. 9. Two demonstrators, one of whom was a state senator, were taken into custody outside the Ferguson Police Department after they blocked the street and refused to move.

Wilson's case is under review by a St. Louis County grand jury, which has until January 2015 to decide whether or not to indict Wilson. The jury is receiving evidence about the case on the same schedule as the police, who are investigating separately.

As the protests, which began shortly after Brown's death, stretch into the fall, the crowds have thinned, the national media presence has faded, and hot cocoa and tea have replaced the bottles of ice-cold water that were seen during the early days of the demonstrations. Gone, too, are the military-style police vehicles that were widely seen as an over-the-top reaction to many of the protests; the vehicles have been replaced by police officers wearing normal uniforms....

For the Ferguson insurrectionists and Sharpton et al a no bill on the officer would be good news.

Hey, why bother with law when you can have a mob of leftists decide what justice is.

Funny the protesters are the lynch mob and don't see it.

I hope at least half the jury is black so they can see the evidence and truth of the matter and then no bill him. The gibmedats won’t be able to say a thing then...

At some point, these vermin protestors will figure out they’ve been played for fools by the race industry. It may take 30 years. But eventually even the stupid realize they are stupid.

Unfortunately no. The gibsmedats mentality is exactly what the riot brothers (Jackson and Sharpton) tell them it is. Facts have nothing to do with it. They will just say the grand jury was packed with Uncle Toms or something else to that effect.

Here's hoping their anticipation is fulfilled.

And when they go into gibsmedat.riot mode, turn the dogs loose.

Not that it'll ever happen, but wouldn't be outstaning if the residents cleaned up the walking garbage of their own accord - no cops needed.
Just numerous unexplained 'accidents'.

Put that dononuffin meme to some constructive use . . .

“I hope they take a page from Dear Leaders book and delays the decision till after the election...”

The problem is, that it will be decided JUST BEFORE the election.

Justice is bad, injustice is good.

Isn't that one of the signs of the Apocalypse?

They were protesting the Ferguson Walmart a couple of days ago because they hadn't restocked the 60" plasma TVs for the next riot.

So, to these people, if the cop didn’t do anything wrong that’s bad news.

When UAW shops erupted in cheers at the OJ acquittal, I learned the truth.

I don't know what UAW shop you worked in but the one I worked in, the reaction was just the opposite.

Pretty much like Americans in general, white Americans saw it as a miscarriage of justice while black Americans cheered the verdict.
