    Yep, also as I was scanning various news sites, it seems lots of looting and stealing going on too.

    Philly,New York City,Chicago,Seatlle,Oakland,CA and the White House all filled with peacefull demonstraiters but that wasn't the scene in Ferguson.I think the timing of the announcement was very wrong.Did they think the no indictment won't spark this much anger because it was done when most were home and businesses were closed,just the opposite.Firefighters were called but left leaving their hoses behind due to gun shots being heard.I do think the justice system is very flawed.Had this been a civilian he would be in jail right now waiting for trial.Very rarely will an indictment be found on an officer.Obama and the governor called for peace which was just abunch of words,they should have known that won't happen.Folks are very angry and have every right to me.They're fed up with how justice treats them.Not just the African Americans but ppl from all walks of life are fed up.Charlie Sheen called Wilson a murderer.

    Saw some pics this morning of the 44 closure. A black Nissan and a Peterbilt were surrounded. I believe all motorists eventually waded through that nonsense unscathed. I'll never forget watching Reginald Denny get yanked out of his truck and beat nearly to death on live TV during the LA riots.

    Yeah, I'm not going out like Reginald Denny. Punks get to my air lines? I'm dead.

    Better to run them over and live to see a courtroom then die in the street.

    Similar thing happened in Queens after Crown Heights. Beat a cabbie to death.
