How Ferguson Is Prepping for the Darren Wilson Grand Jury Decision

It doesn’t look good for those hoping for criminal charges in the August killing of unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown. Pessimism has started to set in after a series of leaks that supported the story of Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, who has remained out of public view through the months-long grand jury process. With an official decision expected soon, possibly in a matter of days, the city of Ferguson is bracing for impact, both by hosting discussions with protest groups and stocking up on new riot gear.

“I think you have to prepare for the worst, but I think we all hope the best out of people,” said Ferguson Mayor James Knowles this week. Behind the scenes, local groups have been working preemptively to keep the peace, anticipating the outrage and disappointment if Wilson gets off without at trial.

Good luck with that.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to allow time for people to get away from the place and then let Obama and Holder’s followers have their way and burn it all down?

Let the idiots destroy their own city and after a few day send in the troops with orders to arrest in mass and if one rock is thrown a them shoot to kill.

Obama has met with Sharpton. No doubt, they have mapped out a strategy. Obama already knows what the decision will be and now so does Sharpton.

I anticipate civil disorder and violent demonstrations. It will give Obama an opportunity to show he is down with the struggle. Will he choose to defend the Rule of Law and the judicial process or will he pour gasoline on to the fire.

I say let ‘em burn their town down.

Let the world see the consequences of Holder and Rev. Al’s agitation.

I’m not sure why people are so concerned about this; isn’t this par for the course for a welfare hatchery? Are there that many white people and businesses in the impacted area that were in denial about the demagraphics of the ‘hood? From the pictures I had seen, I thought the area had fallen a long time ago.

I ask this as someone who lives on the frontier of Newark NJ, where fast food places are protected with bulletproof glass. Some places have no seating area, and you literally slide your money under some glass and receive your food in a similar manner. If Newark NJ had these disturbances, law enforcement would focus on the relatively small downtown area (where tax revenues are generated) and the rest would just be left to rot. This is how Newark functions already...

Looks like a great opportunity to demonstrate what a GBU43/B Massive Ordinance Air Blast can do. Cordon off the area and send a C-130 over them and let it fly. Property values would increase in the area due to the proximity to St. Louis and the area could be rebuilt and improved over the current decadent population that currently resides there.

Why bother announcing it is such a dramatic way. Why not just have the judge sent the note to to the AG, Defense Attorney and Prosecutor and be done with it. No bells and whistles. So dumb to make it like a press conference.

Let them destroy Ferguson, then put a fence around it. Don’t let them out. Let them enjoy the fruits of their ignorance.

Newton might have had Ferguson in mind:

-For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.-

Be careful, rioters....very, very careful.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Any retailer near Ferguson that has any large screen TVs or expensive electronics on site deserves to have them looted.

It is my understanding that many of the businesses are owned by minorities, especially Asians.
