I'm assuming he's received word that the grand jury will not be indicting??? :dunno

 

[Winchester]

This is going to get ugly, real quick.

They're not admitting that but one would have to think he would want some type of heads up in order to be prepared. They're not even sure when the decision will be announced.

No, they are not telling the public yet when it will be announced. The decision is most likely already been made. In these cases where public safety is such a big factor, they can hold the announcement until all security measures are in place.

This is being orchestrated from way outside Ferguson.

And I'm sure the Dems will not let this crisis go to waste, especially since they just got their butts handed to them. What a better way to kick off the 2016 run.

Agreed 100% and will take place no matter if the GJ indicts or not.

 

[Guard Dad]

The fact that we have to worry about this just shows how screwed up things are in this country.

A little note on the October 11 "protest". I imagine that the numbers will swell far beyond 3000 union activists this time.

Organizers of the Ferguson-October weekend included Organization for Black Struggle, Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment, Hands Up United, CWA, American Federation of Government Employees Local 3354, Korean American Resource and Cultural Center, United for Peace and Justice and Missouri/Kansas State Council SEIU.

In addition to Black rights organizations, church groups and youth groups, contingents joined the march from the United Food and Commercial Workers, Communications Workers of America, Chicago Teachers Union, Service Employees International Union, Nurses United, United Electrical Workers, UNITE HERE, Coalition of Black Trade Unionists and A. Philip Randolph Institute. The largest labor group was fast-food workers organizing for $15 an hour and a union. The action was promoted by an ad by Richard Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO.

“We brought two buses from Chicago, that’s how important we think this is,” Damien Mack, a 22-year-old African-American worker at McDonald’s in Chicago, told the Militant. “If we bring the fight against police brutality together with the fight for $15 and a union it will help make both more effective.”

Yup, it's all about police brutality in the small town of Ferguson Mo. :BH

This will not only be ugly in Ferguson, but other places in the country as well.

They're posting targets like Anheuser-Busch, Emerson, Target, McDonald's, etc. Yeah, well done.

Looks now like Grand Jury is likely to make their decision Friday but some deal may have been worked out to give local authorities 48 hours before the decision is made public. That would mean a Sunday announcement at the earliest. I'd be shocked if something doesn't leak before then but there is evidence submission scheduled for Friday morning.

Public Safety all over the nation is on stand-by. Some official, some unofficial.

I just watched a good movie I had on DVR called "I was a Communist for the FBI" about a guy the FBI planted in the CPUSA in Pittsburgh...they were big in Pittsburgh because they were trying to infiltrate the unions there. The guy the story is based on was apparently a bit of a dweeb, but the movie did show how the Communists use things like ginned up race riots, etc., to advance their cause.

If they're smart, they'll release the decision at 5pm on Wednesday, November 26.
