1. shit

28. Shit is right!

My stomach is suddenly in knots. To be honest when we were discussing Ferguson results, it still seemed far away. Now we seem to be a few short hours away. The thing is that the main actors have had two days advance to prepare. Although preps seem quieter then last week. The other thing is Wilson resigning...he must know too because I thought his resignation timing was odd. Everyone put on your seatbelt because it will certainly be some sort of ride. I pray (yep said it) that everyone is safe especially demonstrators.

2. Waiting for the other shoe to drop.

And I know it will be a big one.

[Ykcutnek]

3. Now they're saying time, date, or location has not been set.

What a clusterfuck.

[RKP5637]

27. Exactly, been that way since day one. Everything they do or say has been totally fucked up from

the cops on the street all the way up to the governor.

[LordGlenconner]

30. These people could fuck up a steel ball in a padded cell

Incompetence from Day 1 from Shithead McGoo (Nixon) down to the racist Barney Fife police chief.

4. I hope they let the kids get home from school

Before the National Guard takes to the streets.

7. I thought they had agreed to a Sunday news conference just for that reason

[Ykcutnek]

8. Seems like someone got their wires crossed.

Now they're back to saying no specific time frame.

St. Louis County prosecutor says grand jury still in session, date, time and location of press conference not determined.

10. I bet it will be this Sunday or maybe even tomorrow

[LawDeeDah]

15. jerking us around on purpose

[helpmetohelpyou]

17. I don't know if it's that as much as it was the school districts

requesting that it be announced when schools are closed

No matter what I can see the cops closing down roads and streets

No one wants to see the kids stuck at school or on a roadway

[LawDeeDah]

21. I'm having flashbacks to the evening of Trayvon Martin's case

Was not a good evening, unfortunately I was with a moronic bigot just making stupid shit up about the case and obviously didn't know shit about it except it was a dangerous black young man so he must have been guilty!

I don't talk to her anymore. Dumb as a bag of broken hammers.

[helpmetohelpyou]

23. I'm fortunate in a way that most people I hang with have brains

On the other hand I do have some very conservative inlaws where
I have to just bite my tongue just to keep peace in the family

[freshwest]

32. It does not appear to be a done deal, after all. They haven't decided. Hope they saw this evidence:

That changes the story. It will bring justice down on Wilson and the PD.

[hlthe2b]

5. Friday PM then a very long weekend...

for Ferguson, no matter the outcome.

I can only imagine how those who've sought justice for Michael Brown will feel if there is none, as I fear.

[Catherine Vincent]

6. We all know what it will be

No charges.

[polichick]

9. Why is everyone so sure of that? (Haven't been following closely.)

[MohRokTah]

11. The Prosecuting Attorney NEVER prosecutes cops

No matter what and no matter how bad the cop is, this prosecuting attorney is NEVER able to get an indictment.

His father was a cop killed in the line of duty, so this SOB doesn't give a shit how evil cops are, they all walk.

[polichick]

18. Gotcha, thanks!

[Jackpine Radical]

31. You described the situation exactly.

The only way an indictment could come out of here is by way of a runaway grand jury. And I don't think that is gonna happen.

[helpmetohelpyou]

13. Intentional orchestrated leaks out of the grand jury

[polichick]

19. No wonder everyone is so sure - thanks!

[LawDeeDah]

12. i'm scared

and preparing myself for some fantastic outraged disappointment.

[BumRushDaShow]

14. All this tabloid production

Ridiculous.

[Robbins]

16. And inless i am wrong

He will announce wilson won't be indicted.

He is bias towards cops since his father who was a cop was killed In line of duty.

[lpbk2713]

22. The announcement will come tomorrow.

It's a weekend and there is a good chance of rain through Sunday night.
The PTB will be relying on the bad weather to help keep the crowds down.

24. It's exactly what I would do

That assumes they probably already have a decision and are waiting. A cold, wet weekend- it dampens crowds and minimizes effects on schools and business.

[pipi_k]

25. Makes sense to me! n/t

[HereSince1628]

26. Interesting, I got 'beat up' by a Missouri DUer for suggesting just this.

[yeoman6987]

29. Well you should not have been

Sorry you had to go through that. Although don't take it too personally. Everyone is nervous as heck about this and venting is normal. Even though you didn't deserve that. I am sure they were just venting about the message. Have a great one!!!!
