Anybody who thought that there would be charges is a fool. If McCulloch wanted a trial, he could have easily got the grand jury to rubber stamp an indictment. But he didn't do that, presumably because he didn't think he could win. But he also didn't want to take responsibility for not bringing it to trial. So he made the highly unusual step of presenting all the evidence, including that which favored Wilson and letting them decide. Doing this, he knew, would increase the odds of a no bill, perhaps to near certainty. Except now he can claim it was the grand jury who made the decision to not bring Wilson to trial and not him.

5 charges were presented to the GJ by the prosecutor working the case, from murder all the way down to manslaughter charges.

The GJ no billed each one.
 
O'reiily auto parts being looted on live TV. Good expensive stuff in there. Booklets near the parts will show you which to grab for your year/model car.

At what point in the last few months did you realize that it was foolish to think there would be charges? What information led you to believe that McCulloch didn't want a trial?

Grand Juries, I don't think they work the way you think they work.
 
Looting I've seen so far:

Liquor store.
Cell phone store
Auto parts store.

Little Caesars, an office and a beauty parlor on Fire.

It's not LA 1992, and I sure hope that there is no Reginald Denny incident. That's the first thing I though of when the protesters blocked I 44.

Gunshots are airing live on CNN.

A lot of gunfire being reported near the burning Beauty Supply shop.

Gun shots heard in the background live on CNN.

Well, yeah, clearly. They couldn't even get an indictment for the cops who shot John Crawford III, and those guys basically just turned around the corner and shot him twice before he could look at them, on tape. And obviously, McCulloch was not at all doing his job as a prosecutor - nor any of the police chiefs, who simply told one lie after the other. And then you have the police (or I should say, some of them) pointing guns at people, tear gassing people as they walked around.

Again, it's all going according to plan.

Walgreen's was looted and set on fire in several places. It is currently smoldering.
 
Burning the storage area is really rude. That's burning all sorts of regular people stuff, including people that can't afford their own home and have to store their belongings somewhere.

Remember that McCulloch did not do any of the GJ presentation.

The GJ was presented with 5 possible charges by the prosecutor working the case, a woman whose name I can't remember.

And probably lots of irreplaceable things that an insurance check can't replace, if they manage to get an insurance check. :(
