Obamas own response to the grand jury decision is revealing. The president immediately rushed to make a statement on national television declaring the results valid and legitimate.
We are a nation built on the rule of law, he said, so we have to accept this decision was the grand jurys to make.
This is nothing more than an endorsement of the judicial and legal fraud.
While associating himself with a decision giving police a license to kill, Obama declared, referring to protesters, that there is never an excuse for violence.
meanwhile dronie flies over other nations.
Attempts to kill 41 men resulted in the deaths of an estimated 1,147 people, as of 24 November.
An estimated 142 children were killed in the course of pursuing those 24 men, only six of whom died in the course of drone strikes that killed their intended targets.

So some of them stood up and said, liberty or death. I went to a white school over here in Mason, Michigan. The white man made the mistake of letting me read his history books. He made the mistake of teaching me that Patrick Henry was a patriot and George Washington wasnt nothing non-violent about old Pat or George Washington. Liberty or death was what brought about the freedom of whites in this country from the English. They didnt care about the odds. Why, they faced the wrath of the entire British Empire. And in those days, they used to say that the British Empire was so vast and so powerful, the sun would never set on it. This is how big it was, yet these 13 little scrawny states, tired of taxation without representation, tired of being exploited and oppressed and degraded, told that big British Empire, liberty or death. And here you have 22 million Afro-Americans, black people today, catching more hell than Patrick Henry ever saw. And Im here to tell you, in case you dont know it, that you got a newyou got a new generation of black people in this country, who dont care anything whatsoever about odds. They dont want to hear you old Uncle Tom handkerchief heads talking about the odds. No. This is a new generation. If theyre going to draft these young black men and send them over to Korea or South Vietnam, to face 800 million Chinese. If you are not afraid of those odds, you shouldnt be afraid of these odds.

Rules of Campus Rape Victims: #1 - Don't tell, or you won't get invited to parties/will become a social pariah. #2 - If you see your rapist on campus, be polite, because they haven't been convicted. #3 - It is your word against theirs, so don't expect to be believed.
At least that's what it is looking like to me.
