Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here [W:60, 267]

My ridiculous gun comment? Which one? The one where cops not being there to protect people is a constant right wing argument against gun control.... and now all of the sudden, they're protectors of our lives? That's a pretty true statement and not ridiculous at all. If you are, please point out the flaws but before you do tell us, do cops have a responsibility to protect someone from harm?

Short memory, eh?
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here [W:60]

No problem.

GJ is really interesting to be on.

In the ones I have been on, we were hearing 10 or so cases a day.

One learns a lot.

Seems like that thorough process at work.
 
In addition to the riots and destruction in Ferguson, there are protests all over the country.

Well, so much being the first post-racial president. Achieved as much on this front as the rest of Obama's presidency.

Through for a complex case takes a lot of time.

We did not hear such complex cases.

You don't understand much.
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here [W:60]

The grand jury decision should have been announced right after it was reached. The officer himself and everyone else had a right to know.

Exactly none of this is the prosecutor's flaw whatsoever regardless of when or how it was announced. You'll have to find someone else to blame ...

hey, here's a thought... blame the looters, arsonists, vandals, and thieves.

I don't think NIMBY's offering any excuses for looters or vandals. What I know is that the GJ had made its decision and the prosecutor's office decides to announce that they will announce it in a couple hours. I honestly found that bizarre and all that did was amp up the tensions not to mention give people a chance to form crowds prior to the decision even being made known.
 
Nope....ever heard Ferguson mentioned in the same class. About the same as Fullerton

Unlike Fullerton, Ferguson now joins L.A. as a world class city where they burn down their own neighborhoods.

BTW: Fullerton is red while L.A. and Ferguson are Obama country.

More dodging because you got caught. THIS one:

Then as you know you went on to post some of SMTA's posts to show what? That I held that ideology? Good work!

Well, we have evidence that the cops are pretty much useless during a riot. For example, during the 1992 LA Riots, the LAPD was AWOL at a time when Fidel Lopez was being robbed, beaten, stripped, and having his genitals spray painted and Reginald Denny was having his head bashed in with a brick on live television. The Korean merchants who armed themselves had the right idea because it didn't take them long to realize that the cops weren't coming.

Grand juries are picked for 6-12 months and meet for 2-4 days a month. A 90 day grand jury sounds like a fast track.

It was reported that this grand jury met only 1 day a week and decided many cases, not just this one, so I am not sure if the time frame is long or not.

Quit while you are ahead Apache......rioting doesn't make a world class city. You obviously don't get out from behind the orange curtain much. Get out in the world a little bit and you might discover a few things. There is life outside fullerton.
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here [W:60]

Better to force the calling out of the National Guard to keep order?

Absolutely. The military and the police are separate entities for a reason and the police most definitely should NOT be this:

I didn't even have to ask this one to prove my point about the two faced nature of the right wing when it comes to cops, guns and them being able to protect us.
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here [W:60]

The rioters are the ONLY ones responsible for the violence. No one is forcing them to burn and pillage. They can very easily carry their assrs home, ice down a twelve-pack, mix up some 7-n-7's and cuss, scream and yell in the backyard.

Sorry if I have ZERO sympathy for the rioters.

Don't apologize, you shouldn't have any sympathy for these animals.
 
Since you are somewhat ignorant to the fact....here is a little something to educate you:

Tens of millions of people head to Disneyland in Anaheim, Ca. every year and Anaheim is no world class city. Except Anaheim Hills isn't to shabby.

proven wrong by the governor of Missouri.

Which I have all night but you chose to leave that out.

Along with giving a post, which in totality, has a total disconnect between the several sentences .

Keep digging that hole, my nic is clownboy, not SMTA, not Ahlevah. And still you run from the nonsense hate rant that I rebutted. Your smoke screen of supposed right wing gun ideology didn't stick. It won't mask how wrong you were about the thinking and motives of grand jurors.
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here [W:60]

Thank you. It's frustrating when people speak about the legal system when they clearly don't understand it. The Grand Jury is a way to have non prosecutors review cases before they can even get into a court. It funny now to see it argued as a way for prosecutors to abuse the system. Incidentally, this notion that prosecutors can get a ham sandwich indicted is false and simply comes from the fact that most cases are true billed. What people don't get is that that's largely because many case are declined for prosecution because the prosecutor knows that they cannot articulate probable cause for the GJ. In other words, the GJ serves its purpose even in regards to the cases it doesn't even ever hear.
You are correct many do not even understand the process. But as one who has served on a Grand Juries, let me tell you there has to be plenty of evidence to clear one of any guilt to avoid it going to trial. One week serving on a Grand Jury will make you walk away thinking there is no hope for humanity with some of the heinous things you are presented with. The things people are capable of doing goes beyond anything most good folks would ever think of and after you experience it wish like Hell you could erase such things from your mind. And when there is any doubt that one could be guilty of such things you vote to send it to trial.
