In a move that appears to be calculated to pacify rioters who have promised violence if Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson is not indicted for his role in the shooting death of Michael Brown, the Ferguson Grand Jury has announced that they have been unable to come to an agreement on the indictment
The grand jury left the justice center in St. Louis, Missouri, late Friday without having reached a decision on whether to indict Wilson who reportedly shot a robbery suspect, Michael Brown, when Brown attacked the officer.
Since the shooting, the St. Louis suburb has endured mass riots and looting. Many groups, including the Black Panthers, have promised violence if Wilson is not indicted for having shot the black teenager in August.
Autopsy reports support Wilson’s account and Ferguson has been bracing for mass violence in recent days as the grand jury has been expected to hand down a refusal to indict. However, with the near-constant threat of mass violence looming, it may be that the grand jury has bowed to the threats of violence and property damage that would devastate their community and have been unable to come to an agreement.
President Obama spoke on Friday about the escalating situation in Ferguson:
“This is a country that allows everybody to express their views, allows them to peacefully assemble, to protest actions that they think are unjust,” Obama told ABC News. “But using any event as an excuse for violence is contrary to rule of law and contrary to who we are.”
Obama was apparently unaware of the irony of his lecturing on the value of the rule of law on the same day that he signed an executive order granting amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants without Congressional approval.
ROTFL!!! Chickensh*t clowns!!!
So, officer Wilson was not indicted. Let the looting begin.
Try again. ..
/s
Ork Riot Next
Might be the best as there was no good outcome either way. The question is now what. Kind of puts the ball back in the DA’s court on whether to file charges or not.
Might have dodged a riot for now but the pressure will still be on to do something.
Probably need an Ebola outbreak in the area to chase everyone out of the state.
Grand Jury is obviously Racist. Protest the Grand Jury for taking to long.
(gotta do something, otherwise folks will lose interest - go home)
It makes more sense.
Al Sharpton is speechless....just kidding....
Breaking news has nothing on this so has a decision really been made or delayed till Sunday????????????
I’d say they have made their decision and it was not released so the jurors could safely be away from the courthouse. I look for the announcement later tonight or tomorrow. The bomb threat scare earlier elevated precautions. Schools are closed for next week beginning Monday. It’s coming.
Weasel words? I thought a GJ either indicted or not, yes or no. No such thing as hung juries with a GJ?
So, Wilson is not indicted and it's over? Any legal experts around today?
Man ya’ll fokes on dat grand jury be trippin! I be tryin’ to get muh clownin’ on and thangs and here ya’ll is frontin’ and bouncin’ outta town!
Son of Obama very unhappy.
They will arrive at a decision... once they have finished their deliberations. Perhaps in another week or two (or three or four).
Michael Kors Glam Studded High Top Sneakers & 75” flat screen TV, here I come.
why would anyone want to be a member of a grand jury to decide this one way or the other. I don’t think they’ll ever get a decision.
the rioters however, may just burn themselves out.
If they have been excused, then thats it.
I originally read it as they failed to come to a decision and would deliberate some more.
Methinks the powers that be are being obtuse.
I have a graduate degree and I am confused. Not sure if the folks on the ground there are going to be better informed.
Pretty good answer for a Saturday night.
