Michael Brown shooting II

In the continuing saga of the beauty Supply shop, the Fire Dept. has abruptly left the scene, not sure why.

CNN reporting several small businesses have been looted.
 
Some or many of the shots fired may be up in the air for the purpose of causing chaos, mayhem and stampeding.

I'd be interested in knowing what the owner of that storage unit business did to warrant these animals burning it?

Clearly the Missouri KKK used it to store racist stuff, so the peaceful protesters had to peacefully burn it to the ground in the fires of peace and justice.

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.

That was the expected, or at least hoped for result.

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?

When he announced he would present all the evidence to a grand jury. As I said, he could have just had the grand jury rubber stamp it, only give enough evidence to establish probable cause. This is what usually happens. Prosecutors don't usually present evidence that works against them as they don't have to and it decreases their odds of getting an indictment.

Grand Juries, I don't think they work the way you think they work.

I think it is is you who don't understand. See above.

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 the grand jury 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.

Your hindsight is truly awesome. Pat yourself on the back.

Aside from people involved in the investigation and the GJ members, nobody knew the entire body of evidence until today nor did anyone know what the decision of the GJ would be.

ETA: It took the GJ two days to reach a decision. Hardly sounds like a slam dunk to me.

If they start burning residential buildings with people inside the gloves will come off and the cops will shoot arsonists dead.
 
It hasn't been mentioned yet, but on local TV (St. Louis) there's a school closing crawl running at the bottom of the screen. Looks like we got a couple feet of invisible snow falling throughout the St. Louis area.
