A grand jury has reached a decision on whether to indict Darren Wilson, the white Ferguson, Mo. police officer whose fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager sparked days of turbulent protests, sources close to the process said.

Sources said that press conferences are being prepared by the county prosecutors’ office and the Missouri governor. Those press conferences will likely come later today.

Interesting. Haven't seen that (yet).

The Chief's comment that even if they had 10,000 officers they could not have prevented this is a lie and a weak excuse.

He should be fired on the spot for a stupid statement like that. It shows he had no intention of doing anything to hinder the thugs.

[lapsus calami]

 

 

Hm. I can't see them being that deep. Have not been impressed with that Johnson character and his involvement. He's always come across to me as too sympathetic with the "protestors", which has accomplished nothing constructive that I can see.

He’s oblivious to the stealing wheelbarrows fable which is what happened there. The thugs got what they wanted and he is somehow declaring victory.

Don’t know myself. In the law of probability I look at the uniform first.

[no-to-illegals]

When there is no uniform present ... I tend to look at the size of the weapon carried. Kind of break it down if is pointed.

he had no intention of doing anything to hinder the thugs.

Since the arsonists were not 'home grown' and since the Chief, the Mayor and Governor seemed to have no plan, or even desire, to prevent this, I sense a setup for political purposes.

I sense a setup for political purposes.

 

The trick is to determine exactly what the end game is - is probably more than one goal, to be worked on over a protracted length of time. This is probably just one step of many.

 

 

[TigersEye]

It sure seems like it. That same cop said he didn’t expect this to happen. BS, no one is that stupid.

One was Ferguson Market and Liquor. Had the hands up all over the outside of their already boarded up windows. Looked like they used several sheets of paper for each hand. Probably downloaded the printout from a leftist website that told them displaying the hands would be a talisman against looting. Didn’t work. Later video shows the hands up papers gone from the building. Some Clymers tore them down.

[no-to-illegals]

Prayers you are correct but think (imho) the end game has begun. Prayers am wrong but I too think was a political setup. The Right stayed in place and the Left looted and fired more shots at the Rule of Law. The Right will not stay in place, forever though. The Right eventually responds. There (imho) is a right place and a right time for everything as once some Byrds sang when the song was sang from the Bible.

She doesn’t get her way and the last mayor of Houston that tried to affect guns in that city ended up costing the city bundles of money in lost lawsuits.

[Praxeologue]

The trick is to determine exactly what the end game is

My direct experience with Weatherhead-type groups that use the same techniques (smash windows, backpack in kerosene, set fires) is that their goal is not the obvious one, disrupt a G8 meeting in my case or make a statement about race relations tonight, but rather to further a larger ideological, political goal. In this case, it appears to be part of a diversion from Obama's political problems and a cover for his unpopular actions on healthcare and immigration.

[lapsus calami]

 

 

Yeah - that should be a big clue that things are not as they appear, is not as they were told.

 

Some Clymers tore them down.

 

Clymer - now there's a term I personally haven't seen posted in a while. Brings back a few memories.

 

[lapsus calami]

 

 

I think we're gonna have about 2 years to find out what the broader goal(s) may be. Lots of game pieces in motion - everywhere. Somehow, it all meshes in together.

 

 

[no-to-illegals]

yep, correct assessment (imho). Someone is looking to stop the 2016 election.

[lapsus calami]

 

 

Just reviewed some video - saw some characters with hoodies, bandanas over faces, backpacks, unmistakably white - their faces flashed right in the camera for a few seconds. No doubt about it. I do believe your G8 "friends" are in town.

Response, from outside Ferguson, is coming in and Officers are trying to verify each other outside units. Dang ... there has to better ID method besides radio. There should be a fingerprint method in place. I call it ‘fingerprint’ but shouldn’t there be an ID method that is not radio?

[Trillian]

That’s not surprising. They’ve been planning this for a long time.

If the FBI doesn't know all about them, then they are either incompetent, negligent or deliberately turning their heads. I suspect the latter.

That is why I believe that this was either orchestrated or permitted to happen by ... Obama, Holder, Nixon and other Democrats.
