1. 8 PM EST

I've heard that will be the time. Still 3 hours away. Not exactly shortly, but early enough for a full evening of protests, etc.

2. I've read everywhere from 4 - 7 so we shall see. sigh

3. Ferguson Grand Jury Decision at 8PM (EST)

The world will find out the fate of Officer Darren Wilson at 8 p.m. Eastern tonight. The grand jury hearing the case of Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown has reached a verdict and the St. Louis County prosecuting attorney will hold a press conference announcing the decision. Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon landed in St. Louis ahead of the announcement, and the city is gearing up for protests and possible violence.

6. I am not very confident that the Brown family will ever see

any justice. The Governor should have grown pair, removed the local Prosecutor and had an Independent Prosecutor named. That would have at least give the appearance that a fair and impartial presentation would have been given to the Grand Jury. Instead, a lot of people figure that the process was rigged from Day 1.

7. Best Way To Ensure A Victory

Is to Rig the process from Day 1.

Don't leave anything to chance.

Then act as if you did everything you could. Dog & Pony shows are always a big hit.

4. Probably wait to give most people a chance to get home

So figure between 7-8pm

5. This is going to be bad

[avebury]

8. You wonder if the Powers to Be want it to be really bad in order

to justify the continued militarization of the police forces in this country.

i.e. See we are right to give the police military hardware.

12. Call me a tinfoil type but it wouldn't surprise me they have something planned just to make sure

[spanone]

9. they've been speculating for 3 or 4 hours now....no news till there's news.

[avebury]

10. I wish that one of the members of the Grand Jury

panel would have the guts to call up Rolling Stone Magazine afterwards and offer to do a no holds bar interview and spill the beans on what went on during the whole grand jury process.

11. The chances that justice will be done

are as small a non-zero number as can be imagined. The fix has been in from Day One.

13. Why Wait Until It's DARK?

is there still a curfew?

14. So streamers will be limited as to what they record.

The Darkness hides a multitude of sins.

15. Assholes

you're right - thanks.

[avebury]

16. Per CNN, the Brown family had to find out that the GJ

had made a decision from the media.

Apparently the Prosecutor's office must not have bothered to tell them.

You have to wonder if they have given the Brown family even one iota of compassion and concern during this whole process.

It seemed the the Prosecutor's office was more concerned with covering up for Wilson.


So much for being an advocate for victims and their families.
