Definition of Grand Jury:

A panel of citizens that is convened by a court to decide whether it is appropriate for the government to indict (proceed with a prosecution against) someone suspected of a crime.


Wilson passed the above litmus test under unusual circumstances. Let's not bring facts into it as it was never the intent of the DA to gather nor examine the facts. The more you quote the GJ proceedings, the weaker your arguments get.

A racist who testified before the grand jury AND helped raise money for Wilson.
What's up with that?

Zeke is prescient and always right here. Hmmmmm...let me look in the wife's Psychology book.

My list of Narcissistic personality characteristics

When I see anyone with low self-esteem covered-up by a grandiose presentation, I always suspect a narcissistic personality. These are the characteristics that I look out for:

Rigid, inflexible thinking - Anyone with a different approach is seen as personally attacking the narcissist. Rules rule, and some narcissists get inappropriately angry when they see little things, like grammar errors. I knew a narcissistic computer programmer who would refuse to answer any e-mail that used non-accepted word abbreviations! - ("My way is the ONLY RIGHT way and any other way is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG").

Cannot be wrong - The narcissist is never, ever wrong, and they like to present "proofs" that they are correct. The narcissist cannot accept responsibility for making a mistake and they are expert at diverting the blame to others.

I mean the poor woman was only in Ferguson that day so that she could try to understand black people better and stop calling them "niggers".

This is the story that uncovered "Witness 40". I couldn't find it before. She's a real piece of work, she is!

Note that the story was very poorly proof-read and edited.

A lot of generalizations there Zeke, and not a goddamn thing in the way of specifics.

You're not trying to hide anything are you?

Not at all, the list would be very specific to anyone possessing similar credentials.

There's just no point in feeding your weak straw man.

This thing is dead.

The facts showed it was inappropriate (due to there being no case) to indict.

I don't see an issue?

In other words everyone is expected to accept that you have vast knowledge and experience because.............you say you do?

Sorry Dude, that don't cut the mustard.

You're just upset with my accuracy.

Too bad.
