“”The longer this drags on the better.”””

For who? Wilson has had this travesty hanging over head far too long.

maybe the radicals will think their threats are working and they will step up the intimidation now?

Last night Rick Sanchez tweeted they had reached a decision and it would be announced Sunday. What a maroon.

PSYCHOLOGY-101

If you start with a cage containing five monkeys, and inside the cage hang a banana on a string from the top, and then you place a set of stairs under the banana, before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb toward the bananAs soon as he touches the stairs, you spray ALL the monkeys with cold water.

After a while another monkey makes an attempt with same result — ALL the monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.

Now, put the cold water away.

Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new monkey. The new monkey sees the banana and attempts to climb the stairs. To his shock, ALL of the other monkeys beat the Monkey Crap out of him.

After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.Next, remove another of the original five monkeys, replacing it with a new monkey.

The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment — with enthusiasm — because he is now part of the “team.”

Then, replace a third original monkey with a new monkey, followed by the fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked.

Now, the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs. Neither do they know why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.

Finally, having replaced all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys will have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, not one of the monkeys will try to climb the stairway for the banana.Why, you ask? Because in their minds, that is the way it has always been!

Welcome to Ferguson.

Maybe they’re just strategically waiting for the next blizzard.

If some vigilante murders Wilson, or if armed thugs riot and kill innocent bystandards, Obama’s last act while in office will be to pardon the killer(s).

Which sounds like to me they’re trying to find a way to indict.

In other words, the cop is innocent, but the political pressure from the mob is scary.

It will be an interesting pardon list, indeed.

I suspect that a number of Grand Jurors are sticking to their positions to indict or not. They are locked and cannot decide.

In a criminal case, this would create a mistrial and the State decides whether to try again with a different jury.

How does it work with a Grand Jury?

Any lawyers out there? Anyone with knowledge of Missouri law?

They are afraid to do the right thing and not indict him.

Another factor in the Ferguson equation is a group called MORE. I'll bet Lois Lerner & Co. didn't make them wait long for THEIR tac-exempt status!!!!!

One of the groups deeply involved in causing chaos in Ferguson is Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE), a 501(c)(4) nonprofit.

MORE is the rebranded Missouri branch of the former Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), which filed for bankruptcy in late 2010. That ACORN state chapter reconstituted itself in December 2009 as MORE under orders from ACORN's national headquarters.

President Obama used to work for ACORN, and he represented it in court as a lawyer.

MORE has been active in the protests and in efforts to free jailed demonstrators so they can continue vandalizing businesses, intimidating perceived adversaries, setting fires, throwing projectiles and urine at cops, and engaging in the left's usual modes of so-called nonviolent protest. MORE believes that protesters should be given a blank check to inflict whatever harm they wish on the community in pursuit of social justice.

MORE is also a recipient of taxpayer funding – and to no one's surprise, it is not a good steward of those dollars. MORE received $21,000 for its "foreclosure prevention" efforts but "did not fully comply" with the rules, according to the St. Louis city comptroller's "fiscal monitoring review" released a few days before Brown was shot.

MORE is one of the now defunct ACORN network's most active renamed state chapters. .......read more....

That is what I am thinking.

They made a decision and whoever is making sure they have time to get out of town.

You read it as they left without making a decision. As if they were done, they packed up, and went home.

I read it as they left without making a decision, as if they still had more work to do and would be coming back.

I guess we will know in the next few days.

“Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving. ;>)”

The same to you and yours. We will spend Thanksgiving day winning money at a casino in Oklahoma and eat their Thanksgiving buffet feast. We’ll also have a two person Thanksgiving dinner to eat at home the day after Thanksgiving. Life is good.

Breaking News! The sun rises in the East!

Big deal. They went home for the week. The judge probably has holiday plans so they won’t be back until the end of the month.

They've been taking the intimidation approach for weeks now. Now they're getting impatient and they want the riots to commence... so does the media since it's costly to keep all their crews there week after week.
