Twitter and social media are expecting the grand jury decision to come down some time tonight, perhaps at the Justice Center in Clayton, MO, at around 8 PM Central time.
“Prosecutor Bob McCulloch is expected to announce the outcome of their deliberations soon.”
Another announcement indicates a decision released at 9 PM Eastern, which is 6 PM Pacific.
I submit: the grand jury will not indict Officer Darren Wilson.
Your thoughts?

St Louis County has promised local law enforcement a 48-hour “heads-up” prior to the official release of its grand jury results regarding prosecution of former Ferguson Police Department (MO) Officer Dennis Wilson, whose likeness I shall not post here. The media already has a sufficient number of photographs of Officer Wilson and his home with its address and surrounding neighborhood.
In the meantime, as I write this ahead (it is Sunday night at roughly 9 PM Pacific), Ferguson is already at a boil — certainly not assisted by the loving New Black Panthers and the overall delay of the decision.
It’s as if the blacks extant cannot wait to riot and cork off. Frankly, I believe that to be true, no matter the decision.
Further, a young black Marine says: pull your damned pants up.
A challenge unaccepted and refuted in Ferguson, Missouri.
Is this what preparation looks like in Ferguson?
Pants up. Yeah. Right.

Once again, Mr Holder thinking like a racist instead of someone concerned with the personal welfare and protection of citizens.

President Obama and Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., in separate media messages Friday, urged protesters in Ferguson, Mo., to avoid violence as the nation awaits a grand jury’s decision in the Michael Brown case.
Holder also expressed concerns privately about Gov. Jay Nixon’s decision this week to declare a state of emergency at a news conference and activate the National Guard. The grand jury decision in the Ferguson shooting is expected to be announced in the next few days.
A top aide to Holder called the governor’s office earlier this week to express Holder’s displeasure and “frustration,” according to a Justice Department official.
“Instead of de-escalating the situation, the governor escalated it,” said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the subject. “He sent the wrong message. The tone of the press conference was counterproductive.”
Meaning: it’s best to play with and risk the safety and security of persons in an area that has promised the nation to cork off by inadequately preparing for protests and riots.
What do you think would be said about Governor Nixon if he hadn’t prepared and rioters turned Ferguson into a smoking cinder with injuries and perhaps even a death?
