Brown Family Attorney: Missouri Gov. ‘Preparing for War’ in Ferguson
Mediaite ^ | November 17, 2014 | Josh Feldman

Anthony Gray, the lawyer representing Michael Brown‘s family, said on CNN today that by declaring a state of emergency, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon is “preparing for war” in Ferguson and could be inviting anger with that very action he took to try to quell it should the grand jury decide not to charge Officer Darren Wilson.

Nixon ordered the state of emergency because of concerns over “expanded unrest” as a result of a grand jury announcement. It is a likelihood at this point that the grand jury will not charge Wilson for Brown’s death, which already raised some concerns about violence erupting in the community.

Gray told Tapper today that the real message of the state of emergency is that “he’s preparing for war and not necessarily for peace” by taking such drastic measures and bringing in the National Guard. “Sometimes,” he said, “you can push people into behaving a certain way just by preparing for just that kind of a reaction.”

The grand jury is expected to announce a decision any day now.

I see it’s 20 deg. in St. Louis and 10 here in Illinois so they’d better be wearing their thermal insulated hoodies. Hard to do war when you’re freezin’ your butt off.

They are taunting like Old Scratch himself.

It can NOT end well. I frankly didn’t expect this stuff to overplay its hand this soon. But they can’t seem to stop. This is like Trayvonism on steroids.

Maybe because the 'protestors' are preparing lists of 'targets'?

Leftists are a crackup - always crying about being treated roughly while beating the hell out of anyone within range.

In fairness to the black community, I’ll bet at least half DON’T want riots or to burn their community down - but the entire black community in Ferguson is being played by outside agitators to their disadvantage, and with emotions whipped up, only the angry hotheads get heard.

Some people want a riot, for various reasons.

electronically suspend all area EBT cards for a few months and see what happens

Why only for a few months? Why not make them ineligible for benefits permanently.

This is one of the most ludicrously wrong hills to die on. For every 1% of “real” racism they make up 99% fake... forget the boy who cried wolf, this is the boyz who cried armageddon. Except they look like they are going to get their armageddon, in their faces.

That might be what it takes before even a sizable piece of the black American community realizes it has been hijacked by Old Scratch.

They won’t be able to keep themselves from starting something. This is going to be bad karma city for them. (To use a figure of speech.)
