Group holds prayer vigil in anticipation of Ferguson grand jury decision
Columbia Daily Tribune ^ | November 9, 2014 | By ALICIA STICE

Clanton C.W. Dawson Jr. hopes his spiritual community can act as a lifeline during the chaos he anticipates in the coming weeks.

At a prayer vigil Saturday night at Second Baptist Church, he spoke about what might happen if a grand jury in Ferguson doesn’t indict Darren Wilson, a white police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager.

“My belief is that there won’t be an indictment,” Dawson said. “That creates an atmosphere, a situation, of black rage and white backlash.”

Kevin Dean said he came to the vigil because in his 10 years of living in the St. Louis area, he witnessed racial injustice. He has friends who still live in the area, and said the case weighs heavily on them.

Wilson “should be prosecuted for it,” he said. “Nobody should be above the law.”

Apparently, this reverend, thinks Mike Brown should have been above the law.

Mike Brown should be able to steal and strongarm store owners.
Mike Brown should be able to punch cops, attempt to steal the cop’s weapon, and charge the cop and the cop was not supposed to fight back.

This reverend has no interest in the facts.

Bingo. Further, this whole deal is being orchestrated to give the green light to riot and looting. The gubmint can step in at all levels and seize more power while expanding more programs.

On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on . . .

The extra goofy justice brother is at the Whitey House helping Obama figure out how to deal with the GOP.

The store owners in Ferguson should take advantage of the fact the riots and looting haven’t started yet. They need to ship out any kind of expensive items they don’t want stolen.

I even heard it is dangerous to sell “Must loot, so don’t shoot” Tee shirts. Seems Big Mikes Mama had Grandma smacked upside the head with a pipe for selling those shirts! LOL

If the case is weighing so heavily on them, they would be teaching their children to become upstanding responsible adults who don’t do drugs, steal, go gangsta and certainly not to beat up and try to kill people. They wouldn’t be enciting their friends and neighbors to loot and burn down their own communities. They would however, be out front and center in not allowing outside haters to come in to destroy their neighborhoods. What these preachers and community leaders need to do is lead like the Christians they proclaim they are, not divide and act like fools.

Haven’t all the democrat election/community organizers gone home? Whatever happens, it would have been a lot worse if it had been before the election.

I pray that the electorate has awakened. It’s almost too late. And the Soros Administration must be watched even more carefully now.
