LIVE FROM ST. LOUIS...Nothing Yet From The Grand Jury, But Revolutionary Mentality Making Us Mad This is Romeo Foxtrot, shall we dance. Oops, wrong movie. By now everyone and their brother knows that the announcement of whether or not to indict Darren Wilson, the Ferguson, Missouri police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown, a 300 pound 18 year old who was full of marijuana and charging him at the time has been delayed. Why this is the case is a matter of speculation. There is the official story, and then the one that you hear from your friends who have connections at the courthouse. Lets just say, we in St. Louis are prepping for a fight we dont want, didnt really ask for, and would really appreciate a couple feet of snow to quell. Wed like to get on with it, but behind the scenes stuff is happening. So, to be clear that we are all on the same page: This is making a lot of whites fearful, and is making many blacks very angry. This appeared on a Facebook feed yesterday, warning the language is really rough. An old friend expressed similar sentiments yesterday suggesting the lawless types ingest a cocktail of bleach and anti-freeze. These are people who are victimized just as much as everyone else is. Theyve tried to build up their own community on a bed of respect for others and love and a bunch of punks are undoing their hard work. The destructive behavior is not across the board with the black community here. They dont want it any more than the rest of us do. And when stuff like this (image below), which happened last night, goes on, they get just as mad. This is a historic landmark in the Shaw Neighborhood. Thats limestone. Have you ever tried to get graffiti off of limestone? While we wait, this is the sort of thing that is happening. It will probably continue after the grand jury decision is announced. And no, we St. Louisans are not going to just turn off the lights and leave any more than any productive Americans are willing to abandon what they have built. Were stronger than that. The riots where property has been destroyed is wrong!!!! Rather Darren Wilson is arrested will be decided by a grand jury. Everything else is all speculation. i totally agree with this article except for one thingthe cheap shot at marijuanain all actuality he had minimal and barely traceable amounts of marijuana in his system. marijuana had nothing to do with what brown did or said. plz get ur facts straighteven the small ones. thanx.
