Grand jury reaches decision in Ferguson case (Announcement Monday night)

[Lief 🗽]

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.

Let's be honest...the kid was black, the cop was white. If the cop was black, would we have even heard this?

No because the kid would still be alive.

I don't believe that.

Of course you don't.

[Lief 🗽]

No indictment.

[Lief 🗽]

Pretty obvious from his speech right now that this sociopath McCulloch was biased from the start. Sickening.

Someone needs to tell this asshole that he's not Wilson's defense attorney. This is infuriating.

[Lief 🗽]

I just hope that if I'm ever accused of a crime, the prosecution goes to bat as hard for me as they seem to have done for the murderer cop here.

Statement from the murderer:



No mention of the kid he murdered or the kid he murdered's family.

"Should cops not shoot people with their hands raised?"

"That's impossible to say."

holy christ

[Lief 🗽]

It took me this long to realize this was a grand jury shooting down even the possibility of indictment. I am very, very confused - is shooting anyone thirteen times not even worth a trial?

It's basically impossible for a competent prosecutor to fail to get a grand jury indictment. Unless of course he's not trying to.

The President is speaking.

[Lief 🗽]

Yup, the violent thugs began gassing the protestors about 15 minutes ago. Once again, the cops are completely out of control.

[Lief 🗽]

It took true bravery for Officer Wilson to soldier on through these debilitating injuries to put down that violent monster.

[Lief 🗽]

The suspect lighting cars on fire is apparently a white guy with an American flag bandana.

[Lief 🗽]

Little Caesar's on fire

One less Little Caesar's in the world is a lone ray of light shining through this darkness.

[Lief 🗽]

Sounds like there's a protest outside my window. I hear a large group of people chanting, but can't really make out what they're saying. Also a bunch of helicopters circling.

Now drums. Probably on eighth avenue.

I don't know who Lisa Bloom is, but this rant on MSNBC is pretty goddamn righteous: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aziWr-IyKJs&feature=youtu.be

[Lief 🗽]

From the murderer's testimony: he said Mike Brown looked like a "demon" to him.

[Lief 🗽]

The vibe I got from the Prosecutor was that this would have likely never even been looked at, but due to the publicity they gave it a fair shot. No indictment doesn't mean you riot. White people did not riot after O.J.

Nah, white people only riot when their sports teams win.



Or lose.



Or when their beloved sports figures turn out to be serial rapists.

[Lief 🗽]

The "unstoppable rampaging Negro giant" is a pretty classic (if somewhat out-dated at this point) racist trope so it was nice of the murderer to throw that bit into his testimony as a shoutout to his fans.

[Lief 🗽]

The folks rioting and looting in Ferguson have done their very best to validate every negative stereotype there is about African Americans.

Yeah I don't think anyone there gives a sh1t that racists are feeling that their racist views are being validated.

Well at least we gave Naso's side a good whupping in the Civil War.

Well at least we gave Naso's side a good whupping in the Civil War.

Would you say we spanked 'em?

Because everyone in the CSA was a political conservative and everyone in the North was a political liberal.  God, I swear you guys are all like 19 and have only taken a basic high school American history class when it comes to the Civil War.  You all sound really ignorant equating the Union with liberalism, it's the most laughably hackish thing I see here.

The Union in the Civil War was arguably the most radical and progressive force in the entirety of American history, certainly the most radical and progressive government force. To ignore that basic truth of the war is ridiculous.

[Lief 🗽]

Police in Europe may still have guns but they almost never use them.

[Lief 🗽]

Yes, Naso, that's a good example of cops acting somewhat responsibly. This Wilson fellow, who had riddled an unarmed teenager full of bullets about two minutes after first spotting him, was not acting responsibly and should be in jail for murder. (note that I haven't watched the video, I only read your description)

[Lief 🗽]

So you agree that it's a lack of adequate training. Glad we spent two pages on that.
