The Grand Jury has spoken. They looked at all the evidence and determined that Officer Darren Wilson was not criminally negligent in the death of robbery suspect Michael Brown on August 9th.

But looting mobs in Ferguson don’t need justice. They are demonstrating their own brand of “social justice.��

Thousands of people are out in Ferguson, smashing windows, looting businesses, setting fires, and even assaulting a FoxNews cameraman nicknamed “Dutch.

Here’s one fine gentleman starting the festivities by smashing the first window (of many) at McDonalds:

#Ferguson How does breaking into McDonald's help "the cause"? Smh https://vine.co/v/O1XrFE5m13E

8:05 PM - 24 Nov 2014

Steve Harrigan reported:

Two men in ��Guy Fawkes�� masks, possible associated with the group Anonymous attacked Dutch�� and destroyed one of FoxNews�� cameras. The cameraman reportedly suffered minor cuts to his hands.

Twitter is filled with proud looters trashing and robbing stores or as Obama might call it, spreading the wealth around

��Justice�� my a$$. These creeps are just proving Rudy Giuliani right. They need to clean their own nest before looking elsewhere to lay blame.

We pray that the mob limits themselves to looting, and does not engage in further gunfire at police or citizens, as they were earlier this evening.

The pictures and video on this web page on the above link are pretty clear and pretty disturbing. There is an imminent threat to property, civilians and law enforcement and the police should respond with force. The only reason these idiots are going as nuts is they know that law enforcement are walking on eggshells and trying to be PC.

If they responded with force, Tasers and their guns they would get situation under control and really quick.

There were 29 arrests made after protesters fired more than 100 gunshots, burned dozens buildings, looted stores and vandalized police cars in Ferguson, Mo. after a grand jury did not indict a police officer who shot and killed an unarmed black teenager in August, St. Louis Unified Command said in a press conference Tuesday morning.

Heavily armed police fired pepper spray and smoke canisters to disperse the crowds of protesters. Police seized a .45 mm automatic handgun as well.










"We have no loss of life, but I am disappointed the night turned out this way," St. Louis Police Department Chief Jon Belmar said.

Belmar said he heard more than 150 shots ring off in the night.

"What I've seen tonight is probably worse than the worst night we had in August," Belmar said.

Gov. Jay Nixon ordered more Missouri National Guardsmen to provide security at the Ferguson Police Department.

St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch announced the decision not to indict Darren Wilson on Monday evening. A grand jury of nine whites and three blacks had been meeting weekly since Aug. 20 to consider evidence in the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, 18. The panel met for 70 hours and heard from 60 witnesses.

McCulloch stressed that the grand jurors were "the only people who heard every witness ... and every piece of evidence." He said many witness presented conflicting statements that ultimately were inconsistent with the physical evidence.

"These grand jurors poured their hearts and soul into this process," he said.

Brown's family immediately issued a statement following McCulloch's announcement.

"We are profoundly disappointed that the killer of our child will not face the consequence of his actions," the family said. "While we understand that many others share our pain, we ask that you channel your frustration in ways that will make a positive change. We need to work together to fix the system that allowed this to happen."

Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden, was sitting atop a vehicle when the decision was announced, and burst into tears and began screaming before being whisked away by supporters.

President Obama addressed the nation less than an hour after the decision was announced, pleading with protesters to remain peaceful.

"I join Michael's parents to ask anyone who protests this decision to do so peacefully," Obama said. "Let me repeat Michael's father's words: 'Hurting others and destroying property is not answer. I do not want my son's death to be in vain.'"

But soon after McCulloch's statement, a crowd gathered in Ferguson erupted in anger, throwing things at police and knocking down a barricade after McCulloch's announcement. Several gunshots were heard on the streets.

The St. Louis County Police Department announced that shots were fired across from the Ferguson Police Department, though it was not immediately clear if anyone was injured.

The crowd converged on a barricade where police in riot gear stood along the street. They pushed the barricade down and began pelting police with items, including a bullhorn. Officers in armored vehicles lobbed canisters of irritants that made people's eyes and lungs burn, dispersing crowds after a police car was vandalized, business windows shattered and gunshots rang in the streets.

Protesters hugged a barricade and taunted police, sometimes with expletives. Some chanted "murderer." Gunshots were heard down the street and somebody threw a water bottle that bounced off a police shield.

Some in the crowd reportedly tried to stop others from taking part in vandalism and other violent reactions.

Early Tuesday, the FAA activated a temporary flight restriction over Ferguson for safety reasons. Only police aircraft would be allowed to fly over the area, the FAA said in a statement.

Wilson, 28, shot and killed Brown on a Ferguson, Mo. street following a scuffle on Aug. 9 as the teenager and a friend walked back from a convenience store. Brown's body lay in the street for four hours in the summer heat, and neighbors later lashed out at authorities, saying they mistreated the body.

Witnesses later said that Brown had his hands raised and was trying to surrender when Wilson approached with his gun and fired repeatedly. Several media organizations, citing sources they didn't identify, have reported Wilson told grand jurors Brown was coming at him aggressively.

The shooting triggered riots and looting in and around the Ferguson area, and police responded to protesters with armored vehicles and tear gas. Protests continued for weeks -- often peacefully, but sometimes turning violent, with demonstrators throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails and police firing smoke canisters, tear gas and rubber bullets.

At times, the debate surrounding the shooting has focused as much on authorities' response -- which also featured officers equipped with military style gear, including armored vehicles, body armor and assault rifles -- as the shooting itself.

I watched the riots develop for about two hours and was surprised the police were so passive. They did nothing to respond to the mayhem going on over near the McDonalds that included the looting.

The PC of officials has gotten so out of control. I firmly believe that the main reason most of the damage and looting occurred is because the crowd knew no one was going to do anything to stop it. The police seems to be all bunched up about a mile away from the action.

op I heard a person that knows the law the other day and they said he was going to get off ... just did not want to post it ... I hope he resigns and then they have other charges on him to bring forth ... I really feel for them just does not seem fair ... who knows if the jury
got all of the evidence and what was allowed in ... that is sometimes where the break down comes when they have charges on someone ... they don't see it all and some not admitted ...so they just had to show responsible doubt ... and they did ... but its not over with some of the charges against the department and officer ...

Sad truth is that the people who are rioting and looting are using the death of a man as an excuse to steal beer and things for their own selfish wants.

I see this as one of the many causalities of the anti-racist movement and of the 'twitter/tumblr effect'.

It is so easy to spread lies and inflame passions, its now politically necessary to be more cautious than ever, in how one handles rioters, looters, and arsonists whose actions coincide with protesters.

Al Sharpton had a perfect opportunity to be the leader that he claims to be. To be out on the street in Ferguson after the verdict was read.. to be with the people he claims to speak for.To try to stop the looting from taking place...at the very least.. try.

The entire country waited for the verdict. He had more then enough time to get him and his team in place.

But he chose to stay far from the looting.. nice and safe.. then do what Al Sharpton does... wait for the looters to rob their local stores.. trash their own town.. and then he strolls into the conference room at the local Sheraton Hotel.. waits for the lights and cameras to shine on him and then talks of injustice.

What about the hard working shop owners who just had their livelihood wiped out...no injustice there.. Al?
