    Comes down to this with me? I will run them over! I would rather be judged by 12 then carried by 6, my life is worth more to me, than any scum bag that what's to riot

    Did you go on YouTube and read some of the comments!!! It was pretty funny. Someone said they should have backed up and taken out a few more.

    My 2 cents: the only two people who know for certain what happened that day are Darren Wilson and Michael Brown, and Brown is dead. Anything else is speculation. However, it is also alleged that Wilson accepted over $500K in donations from the KKK. If true, that is far more vilifying than the actual act of killing Brown. This incident makes a strong argument for mandated police bodycams.

    The grand jury declines to indict, but the DoJ continues their investigation, and can override the grand jury decision should it see fit to do so in order to bring federal charges.

    I respect the constitutional right of the people to stand up and protest a real or perceived injustice. I do not recognize anyone's right to commit arson, larceny, or robbery, because there isn't one. There is nothing in the constitution that limits the places where people are allowed to freely assemble.

    On a lighter note, maybe a big 'ol moose killer bumper and a few splashes of fake blood will deter folks from trying anything....

    I notice that most of those are sports related. What do you want to bet that most of the rioters in those examples were "educated types"? Still, though, I didn't really see any businesses looted and burning.

    Can you direct me to where it says Wilson took 500k from the kkk.I have been on this story every since Mr Brown got shot and never heard anything of the sort.Im not angry at Wison.He was only doing his job.But I am angry because there should be a full blown trial.It boils down to he did'nt get indicted because hes a cop.Anyone of us would be in jail right now.Folks are very angry because the law has failed them yet again.They begged and pleaded for another prosecuter.The one here comes from a family of officers and his I think father got beaten or killed by a black so the Browns had zero chance of a fair trial.I think the prosecuter picked one of the most worst times to make the announcement.Its like he wanted the destruction to happen that night.Look at Trayvon Martin,there was a trial for him.Wilson was fearful for his life,he says he felt like a 5 yr old up against the hulk as his defense.If thats the case then he shouldn't be an officer.Those marks on his cheeks looks like nothing more then blush which was only a few hrs old.Im on the side of the Browns because our justice system is very unfair and something needs to be done.I hope all these cities don't stop protesting.

    If I came upon a group of people who didnt look to friendly standing in the middle of a main stretch of road blocking traffic, I cant say that I would actually stop, I might alow down some, but I doubt id stop.
    These protesters most likely dont work

    Every day. Everywhere. Without fail. Oh, and I have the short gun to keep their heads down so I can get to the long gun if I'm out of the truck.

    "An old sheriff was attending an awards dinner when a lady commented on his wearing his sidearm. She commented, 'Sheriff, I see you have your pistol. Are you expecting trouble?' He replied, 'No Ma’am. If I were expecting trouble, I would have brought my shotgun as well.'"

    I'm always expecting trouble, so I'm prepared for that, too. ;)

    Him being a thug as you so nicely put it has nothing to do with why they're protesting.If ppl were protesting here i'd be right there protesting with them.
