There are about 3 or 4 scenarios where Darren Wilson gets a lesser indictment.
“Any crackers still within 50 miles of Ferguson better bug out NOW!”
Unless anyone is planning on going on an urban safari. Camouflaged as lost, white, clueless, middle-class douchebags, but armed to the teeth via legal concealed carry. Safari should include multiple parties, some armed with concealed vidcams as well.
But it’s going to get a lot warmer there by next week, they’ll be able to be out in the streets 24/7.

ATTEST:
St. Louis is run by the Dims—and has been for decades. The prosecuting attorney (Robert McCulloch) is a Democrat and he knows exactly what is going on inside that grand jury room. Guessing his minions have been trying their best to secure an indictment against Officer Wilson, but the jurors aren’t buying. The assistant DAs who have been presenting the evidence have told their boss there won’t be an indictment and McCulloch, being a good party man, is telling Nixon to prepare for the worst.
Lest we forget, Nixon made a hash of it the last time around and this will be another epic fail.
DEFCON 2
Hello,
We are prepared to handle what happens. It does break my heart that the city I love (yes, despite the many issues) is in this position. The poster child for insanity. However, many “former” protestors have learned a lot from this situation and are working to change things in a productive way, not in a way that brings harm and violence. That gives me hope.

I'm originally from Southern Illinois, vicinity of Rend Lake (but that was before there was a Rend Lake) d:^)
Still have family over in the Fairview Heights & Wood River areas, and spent a good bit of time in STL over the years.
Glad to hear you're prepared .. with any luck, your only exposure to it all will be on the nightly 'news'.
You should be a quoted philosopher.
Brilliant comment.
That works also.
Right after the looting and burning.
A firearms refresher course outta start up a nice hot riot!
I don’t believe so. It just means there would have been another incident somewhere else that would have been elevated. The program is what’s important; not the place.
Thanks for the ping.
I see. This was a situation that could be exploited. “Never let a good crisis go to waste.”
2 degrees here and falling - about 75 miles away.
The low temps will probably just be another excuse to “light em up”.
St. Louis and Kansas City are unique in our state, because the city government is totally separate from the county government.
I think that is likely the reason for the language, in case the “protests” move from Ferguson ( part of the county) into the city.
