Timing Of Ferguson GJ Announcement

Maybe they are going to announce the decision next Wednesday, so people can combine their Rioting with Black Friday shopping needs.

Don't misinterpret me, I'm not advocating for violence. But everybody knows that unrest is 100% inevitable if/when their decision to not indict is announced.

Sure, it's fine to be an optimist and hope for an indictment, but let's look at the situation and all the signs. They are gearing up for something there in Ferguson, and that would not be as serious a likelihood if Wilson is actually indicted.

At some point the Ferguson protesters are going to realize that all this talk about being civil and wait for justice to be done, is more cock & bull, because clearly they are just hoping people will forget and it will all blow over as time goes by. Just another day and just another white police on black teenager death, nothing to see, move along.

that they are waiting until they are actually done with the work required, but that's just a guess on my part.

There will eventually be a decision, it will be released and there will be a reaction and most likely some will be displeased with whatever decision the Grand Jury reaches.

I would like to see it done sooner, but it hasn't been.

preparation is a bad thing in an of itself? I assume the County Police have also done preparations and my neighbor has indicated that last weekend her children brought home extra work and instructions from The Ferguson-Florissant School District as a precaution, I would guess that will be updated as deemed necessary.

If as you suggest "they" were waiting for bad weather, that boat has sailed as it is warming up from some rather unseasonably cold days that included some snow. There is possible rain this coming weekend. The reality is that things will get done when they get done.

I am going over to Ferguson tomorrow to do a bit of shopping. Need anything?
