The talking heads on local radio have predicted that, IF the jury decides today, no announcement will be made before Tuesday, just to ensure riots don't ruin everyone's holiday weekend.

And that will stop them from rioting? Bear with me on this rabbit trail... IF, they do come to a quick conclusion and announce it today, wouldn't that actually help the businesses in Oakland who are boarded up this weekend (losing revenue) instead of waiting till Tuesday, so they shopkeeps have to keep them boarded up?

Just thinking out loud. I mean, it's not like the rioters are going to say "Damn, i was gonna go f... sh.. up but I gotta work on Tuesday!"
