  1. I feel sick that this has been turned into a made-for-TV event…like a fucking sporting event…or worse, like shock and awe. The spectacle of waiting in anticipation for this fucking prosecutor during “prime time” has a way of inflaming the crowd all by itself…and for no good justifiable reason. This is just disgusting in the way he’s devised this to maximize whatever effect he’s after. This is not the way it should be. But I’m sure the fucking cable channels are just loving it (though they’d never admit it)…Ratings = Profits!! Sick shit.

  2. Could they hype or drag this out any more? Oh…FFS!

  3. This fucking prosecutor is complaining about the way cable and social media provided factual information he considers misleading, discounting most eyewitness accounts as if they were in collusion with one another and couldn’t be trusted. Yet, he clearly scheduled this presser to give the results of this grand jury, knowing the effect it would have during prime-time with full-blown, hyper-vigilant coverage by all cable news outlets for maximum effect. The guy has been a manipulative SOB of a prosecutor from day one. Interesting how he uses Eric Holder as some kind of presumed buffer for the way he prosecuted this case. He never gave a shit about the victim Michael Brown and it clearly shows.

  4. This is sickening. The way the grand jury was handled… was a complete aberration. I hope Darrien Wilson can sleep tonight. He cut a life short, and is going away scott free. Our only hope is that the Justice Department will do something. \

  5. It’s simply a whitewash. 60s all over again?

    I didn’t really expect a different result, but I held out hope. Damn t!
