Hi Antar - I've been following it too and ya know - all this wait wait wait - you know they're making sure engines are revved, emotions high and the power keg is just packed and ready to blow as in BOOM!

I mean - they wouldn't want to miss a good catastrophe would they? If nothing else it's a grand 'learning experience' for the government.

peace and good to see you!

With all this precaution I think they aught to announce what the Grand Jury did on Thanksgiving.

Who would riot on thanksgiving?

Or maybe wait until Christmas?

Or 3 am in the morning

Who would get up that early to riot?

If they announce this on a Friday evening or Saturday you know the fix for a riot is in

I think people assume far too much about what is going to happen regardless of the verdict, but that's not necessarily their fault. The media has been portraying it that way:
Ferguson by the numbers: Breakdown since protests began

• Insurance claims from property damage due to Ferguson protests reported to the state totaled $250,000 after the first month of unrest; one prominent local insurance adjuster who processed three claims on West Florissant Avenue estimated damages were no more than $5 million, which included $1 million to $1.5 million for the burned QuikTrip.
• By comparison, damage to property in the 2001 St. Louis hailstorm: $2 billion.
• And the 2012 St. Louis hailstorm: $1.2 billion.
• Another way of looking at it is that the two St. Louis weather events combined caused 640 times as much damage as the unrest after the Brown shooting so far.
• More perspective: In 1992, the damage to property in Los Angeles from riots and some 7,000 fires was about $1 billion.
• Windows broken in St. Louis during protests: 25, according to St. Louis police Chief Sam Dotson.
• The Washington Post described Ferguson as “a burned-out symbol of racial and class divisions in America.”
• Number of buildings destroyed by fire: One.
• Why the disproportionate images of violence in St. Louis?
• 238 journalists receive daily updates from the St. Louis County police spokesman.

Things aren't always as they appear on TV and in print.

That's an interesting perspective. I have said all along that this administration and AG were just waiting and salivating for an incident to use to further their agenda and further divide our republic along racial lines. Why...I don't know for sure. I have some ideas though.

The Trayvon Martin case didn't quite get it done, but it was a start. When the shooting of Brown happened, Obama couldn't wait to weigh in on it. Same with Holder.

The immigration issue is being used by them as well to stir racial and class division. IMO, Obama is the worst thing that has happened to our republic in a long long time. But, that's for the political forums.

a reply to: Greven

oh, its fine then.
mother causes more damage and it was only estimated to be 5 million worth of damage...

no big deal i guess......

They will announce Sunday I bet. High temp of 58 and a 100% chance of rain.

Pants up Don't loot.
