Live Events – 11-24-2014 – Grand Jury Ruling in Ferguson, MO on Darren Wilson (Michael Brown Killing)

Is there any reporting on cable about the mood and/or activities on the streets in Ferguson?

It’s aways disheartening to see the innocents realize what the justice system in the country can be at its worst.

1000% of the time a grand jury indicts if the prosecutor says there is enough evidence for an indictment. This prosecutor took it upon himself to shield the courts from having to lift a finger to determine Wilson’s guilt/innocence

funksands

I heard him referred to as “Darren Wilson’s defense attorney” on Twitter, funk.

kesmarn

I knew long ago that there was a 0% chance of indictment. To have it go down like this; so brazenly, so dishonestly, so condescendingly takes my breath away

funksands

Kes, very true. He laid out an amazing defense case.

funksands

I wasn’t expecting an indictment either, funk. But it was weird to watch that man speak. I know it sounds naive, but you always expect evil to look…well evil… You expect that when someone pulls off the pointy white hood, there’s going to be some unshaven, toothless, wild-haired monster underneath. Not a guy with an expensive suit and a few degrees behind his name.

AdLib, the only live coverage I’d getting is the (yuck) local FOX affiliate and they’re showing some footage of cars being burned and such. And some crowds gathering on the street. The street marchers appear to be peaceful now.

kesmarn

He’s just the marionette Kes, the end of the tentacle of a rotted criminal justice system in St. Louis.

funksands

Exactly, AdLib. Kind of like Nazis who loved Goethe and Beethoven and then went out and committed atrocities.

I’ve seen less preparation for a Katy Perry concert. They’ve been planning on how to “break” this for weeks.

funksands

I’m amazed at how pervasive and hard-to-root-out the corruption there is. I mean — have we really made any progress since the earlier days of George Wallace? Sorry to be Debbie Downer tonight, but, geez…

kesmarn

Lady on MSNBC right now is on fire.

funksands

Not literally!

funksands

Right, AdLib. Even FOX is having trouble at the moment coming up with images that look dramatically SCARY.

kesmarn

Lisa Bloom bringing it against McCulloch.

funksands

What’s MSNBC up to funk? Besides pulling the extinguishers out of those little glass boxes on the wall?

kesmarn

Mike Brown got shot, ran 148 feet away, then turned and charged into a hail of bullets? Yep, that sound reasonable

funksands

I know! The whole scenario they painted was absurd, funk.

kesmarn

Ad you can’t see the peaceful protestors standing around at night.

funksands

There you have it, AdLib. What is that guy thinking, d’you suppose? “Ahhhhhh…. no brown people for miles around…”?

kesmarn

brb, i think.

funksands

I was scanning some commentary before the announcement was made and the protesters were wise to the fact (even then) that this announcement had been deliberately timed to be provocative. And they said they did not plan to fall for that trick. LOL! These FOX people seem almost disappointed that the marches are peaceful at this point.

kesmarn

Phone call here… Catch y’all later? Thanks so much for setting up the chat, AdLib!
