Later Tuesday in Austin, people are planning to protest the grand jury's decision not to indict the Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson for shooting and killing Michael Brown.

Occupy Austin put out a message on Twitter promoting a rally in front of the Austin Police Department at 6 p.m. Tuesday, less than 24 hours after a peaceful protest that stretched late into the night Monday. "I can't tell you how many times here cops have been brought in front of the grand jury and exonerated," said Harrington. "And that's not the function of the grand jury to exonerate them. The function is: is there enough here to go to trial? For any other member of the community they're just routinely indicted and sent to trial."

Well, by good luck we weren’t established by NE intellectuals... some extra-crazy ones did come to our birthday party in 1836, and ‘he needed killin’ as far as I know is still a legitimate defense.

“Sure, as if TX is anywhere close to Ferguson.”

Oh yes it does! And it’s name is Austin (followed closely by Houston and San Antonio). Get real! Texas has some real $hit hole cities in it just like every other state in the union, and Austin tops the list there. The good news in Texas is that it also has a lot of land that is not cities. That’s what is saving Texas from becoming say a New Jersey.
