Let's hope they indict the guy.

And I hope that leaders in the white community urge calm on behalf of the cops. We don't want those violent police thugs to riot again.

Violent cops can't help it. It's part of their culture.

Wouldn't be surprised if they indict him on some lesser charges, but first degree murder? What were they thinking when they put that on the list of possible charges?

I get very mad when a cop does his job, and is getting in trouble for doing it. Let's be honest...the kid was black, the cop was white. If the cop was black, would we have even heard about this? The media has alot to blame for this.

No because the kid would still be alive.

Naso, how do you know the "facts of the case" support Wilson when Wilson's side of the story has never even been told?

Isn't this ban-worthy?

This monster deserves to rot for what he did to that kid. He deserves life.

If they go by evidence, he gets off. If they want to appease cry babies upset because criminals unworthy of life are eliminated in a justified way, then they'll smack him on the wrist.

It's not the job of the law to appease people who do wrong and don't like the consequences.

Every time I see one of your especially horrific posts, I remember that there are actually people who actually believe the things you believe. Take that as you will.

This whole case makes me glad that I do not live in St. Louis. If the riots do spread here, though, God help us.

Yes, although if he is away on business it'll be the police doing that.

There's almost no chance of them getting a conviction in a case like this (Missouri law, white cop/black teen, etc.).

I don't really see mass rioting occurring or anything unless the police get out of control again though (which I actually don't think will happen).  I think most "everyday" (for lack of a better word) people have moved on with their lives and aren't paying that much attention to this anymore.

Also, Naso is truly a disturbed individual but I guess we already knew that.

What about a conviction on lesser counts, Manslaughter etc.?

Because Wilson has the same skin color that Naso does.

I am also annoyed when people misspell "a lot," but unfortunately no.

Apparently the officer has not been contacted to turn himself in... Which I'd expect to happen if he was indicted.

The fact that the governor was on several hours ago talking about people expressing their disagreements civilly ect. ect. leads me to believe there will be no indictment.  Aside from hogging the spotlight, there would be no reason to try and soften up the ground if the news was otherwise.
