with that gun. He can't be helped or hurt by anything done by grand juries in Ferguson.

I hope his family, friends, and neighbors can get some vindication and a small measure of peace, but I'm just not seeing it yet.

Will there be some changes made? Will they last?

I'd like to see the people of Ferguson assume political power in that community. The minority needs to be pushed from the dictatorship they're running in that town and that can only happen at the ballot box.
