Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon drew criticism from his own Lt. Governor Tuesday when he said "a vigorous prosecution must now be pursued" in the shooting death of black 18-year-old Michael Brown by white police Officer Darren Wilson in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson.

"We have a responsibility," Nixon said, "to come together, and do everything we can to achieve justice for [Brown's] family." Nixon added that McCulloch and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder had an obligation "to achieve justice in the shooting death of Michael Brown must be carried out thoroughly, promptly, and correctly."

by saying “prosecution” and not merely “investigation” he has already pronounced guilt before any trial and given his prominent political role he is acting like the lead megaphone for a vigilante lynching

They are generally red, but easily fooled. They vote on personal issues and irrelevancies, and like to consider themselves in the middle on everything, Missouri being a state in the middle, with influences for all 4 corners of the nations. So, you come up with memes that wouldn’t work elsewhere about why someone is bad, and then you can have conservative voters vote for Nixon or McCaskill. I screamed at a high school friend of mine about this when McCaskill got elected. He was a republican, but wouldn’t vote for the Republican because of some stupid comment that meant nothing to what the Senate works on and does to us. I told him Missouri voters are just stupid, and are unable to see below the surface.
