It, of course, doesn’t matter.

I am encouraged that supporters have raised nearly $400,000 for Officer Wilson. He can get some high powered lawyers for that money. As for the reaction of the minorities if he is not indicted, not to worry, Eric Holder will do down trying to find a way to bring him to trial. No sense of justice as all since at his core, He is just another black man and has no regard for a fair trial.

Unless your name is Rick Perry.

Grand jury indictments are not secret - what was not secretive about the Perry grand jury?

No, but the Grand jury members talking about it is a little unusual.

Officers should be trained and emotionally able to avoid shootings like this

It looks like Henry J. Waters III has already decided Wilson acted improperly. He's just pretending to be objective, like most journalists.

Have they been talking about it? I hadn’t seen that. In that case, yes, that is a little unusual (and very improper).

Fact is - there is no case against Officer Wilson. He will be exonerated.

Agreed.

Holder himself gave it away last week, when he said the DOJ was looking to see if Wilson violated the criminal's "civil rights".

Why would Holder say that, if they were going all-out for a prosecution??

Answer - even the race-baiters at DOJ know the shooting was justified.

Gonna be some really frustrated protesters in Fergusion!!

Hank Waters would endorse Ted Bundy as long as he had a (D) next to his name. In the 20 years I have lived in Columbia, I think he has supported ONE Republican candidate in an editorial.

It’s pretty obvious all the “outrage” nationally about this issue is being manufactured by the Rats to create some sort of issue, any issue, that people would vote for them on, in this case ghetto dwellers.

The sky is red. And if you don’t believe just ask Eric Holder. He will back me up.

Exactly; I for one am tired of it. Living with blacks these days is like living with a mentally unstable family member who can go off over the slightest thing, yet you never know what. It’s exhausting to think that it’s getting worse and we’re always stuck with the racial sword of Damocles dangling over our heads with them threatening to chop our heads off with it. Addicted to crime and chaos and addicted to nonstop trouble all the time. Dragging the country down, a country that has done all they could to help them get on their feet.

We are running out of steam and I have no idea how on holy mother earth we can end up carrying on like this.

I THINK Officer Wilson has a chance if a good lawyer starts digging into Brown’s background and his family life. It will likely end up making this end quickly and in Wilson’s favor. If the family starts looking really shady and starts showing photos of a less than saintly Michael, the family might end up less interested in a giant showcase trial and agree to a settlement.

Any juror will be marked from here on out even if they vote guilty. If they vote not guilty, blacks will mark them for attack. If they vote guilty, the surrounding community will dislike them (at best) for kowtowing to an irate minority. I wouldn’t want to be on that jury for all the gold in Heaven.

We are 72% and they are 12% yet we put up with this nonsense. Do they really believe this will continue indefinitely, especially now that Hispanics outnumber them? In what other society would that keep going on? Where in world history has that happened?

....According to the National Crime Victimization Survey, in 2010, 62,593 blacks were the victims of white violence. During that same year, 320,082 whites were the victims of black violence.

That’s five times as many violent attacks, but that number is misleading, since the black and white populations are not the same size. When 38 million black Americans commit five times as many violent crimes on 197 million whites as they receive, what you discover is that black perpetrators violently assault White victims TWENTY-FIVE times more frequently.

When it comes to a specific kind of violent crime — aggravated assault — the number of black on white crimes is TWO HUNDRED TIMES HIGHER than white on black crimes. Oh, there’s an epidemic of racial violence in America, all right....

Ashamed to say I’m drawing a blank on this: what was the outcome of Holder’s attempt to apply “violated Martin’s civil rights” to Zimmerman?

He says the DOJ is still investigating it.

In other words, he’s got nothing.
