Holder talking about what DOJ will do about Ferguson.

MICHAEL Brown’s mother has reacted with fury after a grand jury decided not to indict the Ferguson police officer who shot and killed her unarmed teenage son. “Everybody want me to be calm?” Leslie McSpadden yelled to an angry crowd after the officer, Darren Wilson, was ruled to have acted in self-defence in the August 9 shooting. “Do you know how them bullets hit my son? Ain’t nobody had to live through what I had to live through.” Ms McSpadden’s impassioned response, filmed in front of the …, appeared to contradict the family’s call for calm earlier in the day....

The Michael Brown shooting was about race but it was not racially motivated. " a handful of folks"I watched Barack Obama inject himself into the Michael Brown grand jury news and I am confounded but not surprised. Obama had the chance to separate fact from fantasy and he did the opposite. The Michael Brown shooting was NOT racially motivated but something else was. The shooting of Michael Brown was caused by Michael Brown. The forensic evidence was that Brown's blood was present on Officer Darren Wilson's collar and his thigh. There was blood found on the outside of the police...

Here are documents and evidence presented to the grand jury in Clayton, Mo., that was deciding whether to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the August shooting of Michael Brown. The documents were released by the St. Louis County prosecutor, Robert P. McCulloch. Note: Some of the documents contain graphic language.

Grand jurors in Ferguson, Mo., refused to indict local police officer Darren Wilson yesterday, heroically resisting pressure from President Obama on down to lynch an innocent police officer who fought off a violent attacker. The decision is infuriating left-wingers across America because it rebuts the underlying assumption they embrace which is that white police racism caused the death of Michael Brown, a young black thug who tried to seize WilsonÂ’s gun in an attempt to do the officer harm. As fresh rioting was already underway in the St. Louis area, the decision also angered President Obama who could barely contain...

Full Title: "Ferguson Witnesss Told Investigators Michael Brown Charged Cop "Like a Football Player. Head Down" Included in the grand jury material released tonight after the announcement that no charges would be filed in the Michael Brown killing is a handwritten witness account stating that the teenager charged at Officer Darren Wilson “like a football player. Head down.”The unidentified witness wrote that the 18-year-old Brown “has his arms out with attitude,” while “The cop just stood there.” The witness added, “Dang if that kid didn’t start running right at the cop like a football player. Head down.”The witness told of...

The self-righteous indignation of liberals was on full display last night, as the Grand Jury announced their decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson over the death of Michael Brown. Strangely absent was a sense of concern over the violence, destruction, and social devolution that erupted in St Louis. Instead, as expected, there was a profoundly misplaced anger over the decision of a Grand Jury that was presented with facts, eyewitness accounts, and forensic evidence. 1 – Ezra KleinEzra Klein is an idiot. But, don’t take my word for it. (I mean heck, John Ransom and I explain it every...

The prosecutor that announced Darren Wilson will not face charges for the murder of Michael Brown is a Democrat. From the 8th paragraph of a CBS report from the summer: McCulloch, a Democrat who has been in office since 1991, referenced his father's death in his initial campaign. He survived a Democratic primary earlier this month and faces no Republican opposition in his re-election bid.

Authorities in St. Louis County, Mo. continued preparations ahead of an expected grand jury decision on whether to charge a white police officer for the fatal August 9 shooting of a black teen in Ferguson.

Sunday on ABC's "This Week With George Stephanopoulos," the attorney for the family of the late Michael Brown said,"Ninety-nine percent of the time police officers aren't charged when they kill young people of color." Host George Stephanopoulos asked if Crump has already prejudged what the grand jury is going to say and decided the process is unfair.

This week, America held its collective breath as it waited on the grand jury indictment verdict for Officer ll. Wilson, you'll recall, had the misfortune to run into 6'5", 289-lb. Michael Brown, an 18-year-old black man who had just finished strong-arm robbing a convenience store. Wilson pulled Brown over as he and his accomplice walked in the middle of the street; all available evidence shows that Brown then pushed himself through the driver's side window, punched Wilson, went for his gun, was shot in the hand, ran, turned around, charged Wilson, and was shot to death. But that doesn't matter....

The FBI bulletin expresses concern only over those who would exploit peaceful protests, not the masses of demonstrators who will want to legitimately, lawfully and collectively express their views on the grand jury’s decision. The bulletin “stresses the importance of remaining aware of the protections afforded to all U.S. persons exercising their First Amendment rights of freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.” Within hours of the FBI issuing its bulletin, some police departments across the country issued their own internal memos urging officers to review procedures and protocols for responding to mass demonstrations. Still, the bulletin’s conclusions were blunt:...

According to the twitter feed from RbG Black Rebels, a $5,000 reward will be given to anyone providing the location of Darren Wilson, who has reportedly gone into hiding outside the area. In addition to the bounty on Wilson’s head, a $1,000 reward is also being offered for information on the whereabouts of any of Wilson’s close relatives.

The tea party movement in New Hampshire is claiming two scalps in a battle with the Republican establishment that reflects a broader civil war poised to escalate if GOP leaders of the House and Senate compromise with President Obama on key legislative issues, including immigration and Obamacare. In the wake of Tuesday’s midterm elections, the New Hampshire tea party is drawing attention to the defeat of two GOP candidates the Republican Party establishment had backed heavily. In a wave election in which the GOP enjoyed historic gains, Walt Havenstein ran unsuccessfully against Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan, and Scott Brown lost...

In Last Tuesday’s win over Chris McDaniel, Senator Thad Cochran engaged in all manner of political chicanery and racial subterfuge. In a scheme concocted Haley Barbour, the Cochran campaign accused Chris McDaniel and the Tea Party of plotting to disenfranchise African-Americans. When asked to comment about Team Cochran’s unethical and borderline illegal tactics– NH GOP Senate candidate Scott Brown giggled demonically…. “I know you’re not gonna like it, but…I don’t really care about what happened in Mississippi.

The Associated Press and ABC News have projected that U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen will win her bid for re-election to the U.S. Senate. With 48 percent of precincts reporting, Shaheen led Republican challenger Scott Brown, 51-49 percent.

Must admit that on the Politico map it looks like most of the unreported votes are in counties led by Shaheen but no one knows who the remaining voters will vote for. I hope that the networks have been over anxious to "project" to beat the other guy.

I just have to put this one down in the “no, this can’t be really happening” category. However, I did everything to examine if this was a hoax but it appears not. According to Vice News, “Lesley McSpadden, the mother of the 18-year-old boy (Michael Brown) whose death at the hands of a Ferguson police officer in August sparked weeks of protests, is going to Geneva, Switzerland next month to speak about her son and other victims of police brutality in front of the United Nations. Mike Brown’s killing is still under investigation by federal officials, while a local grand...
