And now we wait

Now, let’s see if Al Sharpton calls for a Cat 6 Chimpout. He’s on immediately after the news conference. I think Obongo might be too.

A white police officer will not face charges for fatally shooting an unarmed black teenager in a case that set off violent protests and racial unrest throughout the nation, an attorney close to the case said Monday night.

A St. Louis County grand jury declined to indict officer Darren Wilson, 28, for firing six shots in an August confrontation that killed 18-year-old Michael Brown, said Benjamin Crump, an attorney for the family. The decision had been long awaited and followed rioting that resembled war-zone news footage in this predominantly black suburb of St. Louis.

“The jury was not inclined to indict on any charges,’’ Crump said after being informed of the decision by authorities. Prosecutors scheduled an news conference to announce the decision.

The Prosecutor is giving us a tremendous lecture, detailing everything that went on. Looks like the Grand Jury got every last piece of case info, far more than any Grand Jury ever gets. And he’s telling us, blow by blow, how the “witnesses” caved in their testimony left and right - in other words, they were lying out they ass the whole time, and suddenly had to change they story when presented with some actual facts.

Unreal. The prosecutor is going on, bullet by bullet, punch by punch. This never happens.

So now what? Will the rioting begin in earnest? Come on, you knew there’d be some right? Let’s see how bad it gets.

Yeah right? You know what the big decision they reached really was? “Damn, looks like the weather is holding, and no big snowstorm is going to hit. Worse, it won’t even be very cold. And Thanksgiving is this week, so we’re outta here. Fine, here, whatev.” Because there really wasn’t much more than a day’s evidence to give. And they’ve been at it for weeks already. Give it a rest, and give us a break already. I am absolutely convinced that teh Powers That Be were hoping for a bit hit of the old Polar Vortex to come along and drop a nasty cold blizzard on Ferguson. Last week. At which point the decision would have been broadcast. Now they’re just hoping that enough time has passed so that even the crazy folks have simmered down some. And this gives the FBI the chance to arrest a few more NBP folks with their pipe bombs and stuff.

But something tells me the word might already be out there ...

“Family of Michael Brown requesting 4 1/2 minute moment of silence in Ferguson before protests: watch live on CNNgo”

Really? I’m already ready. An extra little wait isn’t going to make any difference to me. Maybe they’re hoping Black Rage will defuse in those minutes when the decision goes with the facts and against their fantasies,.

Meanwhile, the rest of us get to play When Bingo. My bet is that the news gets released at 8-9pm Eastern, in time to screw up prime time on the east coast, and mess with the commute on the west coast.

Which way will it go? Sadly, I expect the Grand Jury to cave to mob pressure. These people are human too. And they have only their faith in government protecting their anonymity. And home addresses. Riiiight. Which means their lives aren’t worth a plug nickel if they do the wrong thing by doing the right thing.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
