Do they have to scrape the bottom of the barrel for a cause?
Walgreens was one of the first to burn after it was looted. Apparently they did not want any pictures to remain on the security cameras - maybe they stole those also? Hey; just give us any excuse to steal drugs. Sure; these people are all good friends of the deceased! They have their own agenda and it has nothing to do with justice. Only our President cannot see that.

Looks like MO does have the castle doctrine: Castle doctrine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I just hope there aren't any idealistic suburban millennials going around saying they are Mike Brown...

I heard some comments about the grand jury from lawyers quite familiar with grand juries, they read through the transcript and their take was the cross examination of Wilson by the DA was very weak and the fact that he even took the stand was really unusual.

The reactions to the outcome of this entire event are pretty interesting. The racists are using it to reinforce their beliefs and complain about black people--this disgusts, but does not surprise, me. The protesters are angry. The Obama haters are using it to reinforce their criticism of Obama.

Then there are the politicians. Peter King is playing politics, and made the most idiotic suggestion of the day--Obama should invite Officer Wilson to the WH. King is absolutely insane if he thinks this would be a good idea. I don't think even Wilson would want that.

Obama is at a loss--he really does not want to take a side, but he's no doubt being pressured both externally and internally.

Rand Paul is the smartest guy in the room today. He's using this to analyze what is wrong with all of the institutions that led up to this horrible event and putting the blame where it should be put-- and it is not on the victim.

They will quietly say they won't pursue charges months later.

I don't know about that with this case, ya think!

What I don't understand is the need is to go out and to commit a bunch of crimes because you are angry that a grand jury decided that no crime was committed.

If Ted Cruz has his way, Holder will not be leaving office.
