Daylight and some of these folks at work may have thinned the crowd to a point that the police could have kept control. Any ideas?

They didn't want kids in school or on their way to school.

They didn't want to interfere with rush hour traffic.

The protesters were going to do whatever they were going to do, no matter the time. They don't have jobs. But they wanted everybody who was not involved safely at home.

Well, when was the last time you heard of “black riots” in Canada or Mexico... it doesn’t happen because there are no Jesse Jacksons to gain by ginning it up.

This is so yesterday.

Rope factories need to ramp up production.

The GJ investigated some 12 different charges, if I heard right, and found Wilson culpable of none. Game over. These people need to sit down and shut up. And yes, there is a 'white power structure' in a caucasian country; what else would there be? There is a 'black power structure' in Kenya and a Japanese power structure in Japan. How is the USA any different?

LOL

I’m doing my part to make that go viral.

I can only guess it was to give people who might live on the curtilage of the disgruntled area of Ferguson to get safely home from work, bar the doors, lock & load and otherwise prepare for the evening.

Where’s the peoples police captain? Over the Browns house apologizing for grand juries decision.

It’s all just a part of this rich tapestry we call life.

There aren’t many blacks in Mexico, and probably little in Canada. Mostly among white and latino communities.

Even without Jesse Jackson, do you think blacks would rise from the ghetto and normalize their society?

obama and Eric Holder are smiling.

This has been trumped up from the get-go.

The President’s comments tonight, while urging calm out of one side of his mouth, he also indicated that “anger is an understandable reaction,” out of the other.

What? This man is making things worse...again.

The grand jury heard all the testimony. It no billed the officer for a reason. This thing was trumped up from the get go just like the hoodlum in Florida. The 18 year old was a thug who committed felony robbery and then assaulted the officer. Then, when the assaulted officer was able to get out of his car and tell the big thug to stop, the this huge 18 year old charged the officer, who then shot him.

Just to ruin the season finale Of Sleepy Hollow.

They should have waited until a morning of freezing rain or a blizzard.
