To my all who may see this post.
The grand jury verdict in re. the matter of Officer Darren Wilson’s shooting of Michael Brown is reported to be published shortly.
The race baiters and agitators around the country are threatening massive and random black on white violence (think “knockout game” and worse!) should Wilson NOT be indicted.
This is to advise those about whom we care that you be on HIGH ALERT and in KEEN SITUATIONAL AWARENESS MODE as you venture about during this period — ESPECIALLY when in inner-city and other predominately non-white areas of your respective cities.
And, no, I didn’t make this a racial issue. Barack Obama, Eric Holder, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and their ilk did that!

Exactly. The protesters are demanding a lynching from the crown.

Just seeing the start of this article makes me surprised CNN would put it on their website

Thus ends the level of historical familiarity possessed by many of the Ferguson rent-a-mob.

BREAKING...

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has a copy of the official autopsy and the document is partially being dissected by AOL News.

Should be on FR soon, I hope.

Looks good for the home team, guys and gals.

the institution was actually created by the Founding Fathers to provide a wall of citizen protection against overzealous prosecutors.

Uhh, not exactly. The grand jury goes back in England to before Magna Carta. The Founders didn't create anything, they just used an already existing institution.

[cripplecreek]

The Grand Jury is composed of twelve citizens who are chosen at random by a circuit judge, who presides over the Grand Jury. A new Grand Jury is chosen for each of the three Terms of Court held each year. Since the St. Louis County Grand Jury meets every Wednesday during the term, a Grand Juror can expect to serve approximately sixteen to twenty days during that period.

The Grand Jury's function is to make an important preliminary decision about a criminal charge: whether or not probable cause exists that a crime has been committed and that the accused committed it. All felony charges must be presented for consideration either by the Grand Jury or by an associate circuit judge at a preliminary examination, and a little less than half of the cases prosecuted in St. Louis County are presented to the Grand Jury. If probable cause is found in either of these equivalent proceedings, a "True Bill" is found, an indictment is filed, and the criminal charge against the accused may continue on to trial or plea of guilty. If probable cause is not found, a "No True Bill" is found, and prosecution of the case ceases. The Grand Jury, thus, determines the future of all criminal cases brought before it.

I cannot blame people for casting a jaundiced eye at the Grand Jury. The phrase “any DA could get a ham sandwich indicted” has considerable merit. The Grand Jury is often used to duck accountability. Well intentioned, but as constituted today, rarely will a Grand Jury exercise its full power. When it starts to, the Presiding Judge will start removing trouble makers and the like.

All that said, it is becoming clear that the race hustlers were wrong about the Ferguson shooting.
