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.

false messaging ... saying I’m disconnected from internet and disconnect attempts.

Gov. Nixon is toast, DONE. He will be voted out down the road, mark my words.

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.
 
It's time for a lot of investigating to get going. This sort of crap doesn't happen in a vacuum. One more Obama Regime scandal to add to the pile.

In a sane universe he would be as would his counterparts across America. Then again, in a sane universe they’d all have been held to account when he began his appeasement.

I hope you’re right. It’s too late to change or stop events in motion now of course, but it would prevent a repeat and right now that’s the best we can hope for.

Once again, all of this has nothing to do with race.

While there are doubtless unseen machinations involved, the above statement couldn't possibly more wrong.

Repetition of the meme ad infinitum changes its error not one iota.

Please walk your white (?) self into any inner city today and, when you've healed enough to do so (if you survive it), report back to us.
Be sure to elaborate on how the beating you endured was any less life threatening for having been instigated by some nebulous 'man behind the curtain'.

To remain so, rational societies destroy rabid animals rampaging in their midst.

I know the aftermath of the decision is important but after listening to the coverage this morning I think the facts as laid out by the DA need to be discussed in detail by the talking heads.

Put the rioting in context. Make it about the facts. It is not about how the case was presented to the GJ.

Rod Wheeler just said if there was no case the DA should have said there is no case. IIRC, the DA wanted to do just that. But the race whores reminded everyone his father was killed by a black man, he can't be impartial. So he takes it before a GJ.

As Arthur Aidella (?sp) said, damned if he did, damned if he didn't.

They are leaving out the part about the LIE, LIAR & LIAR’s previous record which started it all. There was no ‘hand's up, a universal sign of surrender.’

Aaaaaand, we’re back...

Talk around the water cooler this morning is all vanilla reality-show garbage. To the low-info’s here, all last night did was interrupt DWTS.

I agree with Norm: “Personally I think that the Dem/GOP leadership sits in their meetings wondering just what it WOULD take to get the population pissed off enough.”

I shudder to think that there’s a few more notches on the stove to crank before the frog realizes it’s boiling to death...

“I agree with Norm:” You know, that sorta talk will get you looked down on by the great RINO minds at FR. You might want to set out on a talk show apology tour lest someone post pictures of Yosemite Sam on a dragon and claim that’s you. ;)

They have to sit there shaking their heads. I am starting to wonder if the Communists didn’t do their jobs so well in lowering the collective intelligence and pussifying America that they can’t figure out how to light the shebang off. Nothing they they works.

They’ll probably have to resort to Iran and letting them nuke us sooner than planned.

The difference is simple: the protected minorities will riot and burn at the drop of a quarter. The whites will only riot when someone famous dies.

The question is: who has to die?

Glad you are back Sarge. Am going to start researching to see if can find any information on numbers of people hit by gunfire last night. At last count over 150 shots fired last night and that has to be a low-balled figure. Also was a report of a sniper with a high powered rifle firing at Police. EMTs were not allowed into certain areas because of gunfire. May calm return or may the Dog be ugly by restoring calm. Ugly maybe will be what it takes.

Actually I think it will take a full city worth of ‘die’ simultaneously . Lets face it. 3000 dead and a trillion bux in damages were not enough to get anything but more PC and dead soldiers for nothing. People got pissed. Not NEARLY pissed enough.

I was still a reporter when that went down. My days locally were filled with interviewing pols and community ‘leaders’ backslapping each other about scheduling the next in a multi week series of feel good events to ‘honor’ first responders that were nowhere near ground zero and said ‘first responders’ feeling embarrassed about undeserved praise.

Then there was the “Muslims are our friends’ pushes...

We all need to remember history:
Manson cult was trying to stimulate the black-white revolution promoted by the Ayres/Dorn cult All loosly connected by individuals also involved in the Indonesian Muslim cult O’s mother and the Health director in HI were involved in. Coincidences I’m sure
O’s just trying to fulfill the dreams of his mother

That figure is DEFINITELY low; by my sources, there was a running gunfight between police and the rioters when the Unified Command Post was overrun.

I got reports of up to 75 armed rioters engaging police. Once the NG finally got deployed, I lost the report stream; no telling if the Guard joined the fight.

This tells me that the Guard was there to protect state assets and not engage the mob. Police had two tactical units at their disposal, and they thought they were badass enough to handle the situation...

Obama’s term is a fraud from the day he was first elected as Senator.

Oh, we were angry enough - but the rage only lasted three months before the MSM rubbed the beast’s belly and lulled it back to sleep.

Then the professional protestors took over and brought back the glory days of the Sixties - all with the MSM cheerleaders and the Hollywood backing.

The GWOT was up against a stacked deck.

The Red Sox had two signings...HamRam came back to the Sox.

No riots in Boston yet... I guess we are watching the Celtics, Pats, Bruins and the Sox off season.

A Laundromat? I think that would be black owned... I heard the Little Caesar’s was and the dollar store had 95% black employees. No longer.
