You're delusional.

Ninety days from now -- or less -- this thing is BEYOND over except for the wails of those who believe it's okay to assault an officer with potentially deadly force and not meet immediate opposition.

Sum? Criminals...

Most courts have started drastically reducing their bench warrant fines to an affordable $5 or $10, from $100 and more. Many of the courts are considering blocking lawyers from serving as an advocate in one municipality, and a judge in another.

The home fires are burning furiously over citizen review boards, with Roorda and his ilk adamantly refusing to accept any oversight whatsoever. All we need is a few more GOOD SHOT cases, and it will be a done deal.

Ferguson is actually talking about having a voter registration drive, where the registrants will have an three day arrest amnesty, so they can register and then not immediately get arrested. And the pressure to dynamite Jackson out of his police chief position is growing exponentially. Things are interesting here.
All of this is good news. It has no bearing, however, on the guilt or innocence of Wilson.

You are out of your mind. Obama, hardly one to forgo an opportunity to score a few political points with his constituency (as is true of most politicians), has largely come down on the side of "law and order" in this case.

But it has all its bearing and urgency because of Wilson and Brown. It would still be stillborn without the catastrophe. Instead, it is now front page news on your unholy triumvirat of evil, the news media, social networking, and the internet.

More delusion: that knowing the officer was right -- from jump -- in this case makes anyone a "bagger?"

Moronic.

The only determination made by the sitting Grand Jury was that there was insufficient evidence to indict Wilson, specifically from the evidence that was presented by the DA. Case of guilt or innocence was not argued though it seems that the DA did a very fine job of arguing Wilson's actions as justifiable in front of the Grand Jury.

Innocent until proven guilty.
