Michael Brown Grand Jury Leaks: No Indictment Of Darren Wilson

By Elizabeth Nelson

So,  will we be looking at more riots in Ferguson and more lives and property in the St. Louis area affected by this latest leaked information that has been anonymously leaked from the Michael Brown Grand Jury; that there won't be an indictment of Officer Darren Wilson, for the shooting of Michael Brown?

The St. Louis Police Department has already started to stock up on riot gear ahead of the grand jury's decision. Read more at CBS St. Louis Local

By now, we've all seen the footage of Brown robbing a store hours before being shot, but we are told that we are "not allowed to hold his crimes against him" or "consider him guilty before tried" and yet not only did an entire town do exactly that, but an entire Country, it's POTUS and the Attorney General, as they all not only chose sides, but pronounced themselves judge, jury and executioner.  


With that said, I am completely open to the possibility that Brown did not deserve to be shot to death, even though Wilson was within his rights to defend his life after being violently attacked. I have no wish for a particular grand jury outcome, except that they follow the facts and the law, sequestering themselves completely from the hostile mood inflamed by the race grievance industry that we find ourselves in today. 

Unfortunately, I don't think even the pound of Wilson's flesh this mob was screaming for would even satisfy them and it sure wouldn't bring back the boy with the anger issues, which he obviously inherited from his mother.  If this truly does boil down to "no indictment," I pray our leaders have the common sense to get in front of this and put out the flames of hate, instead of fanning the racial flames and lamenting in our Countries racial immaturity. 

None of this will be helped by a president and attorney general who have prematurely taken sides in cases that they continued to make physically black and white, instead of leaving legally open-and-shut black-and-white. We didn't see them weighing in on Dillon Taylor getting shot for his "armed cell phone" outside a 7 Eleven gas station in Salt Lake City, UT; the "tight lipped cops" haven't identified the cop, like they did in Ferguson, and have made no promises of "arrest or indictment" there either. #doublestandard Cops aren't Super Heroes, in capes and tights, they are just fallible men, that want to go home safely to their families too.


If the Michael Brown grand jury does in fact return an indictment, let us also hope it was based on evidence and not a collapse under pressure from the racially-charged masses, and if there is no indictment, let us pray that any angry reactions stop short of the disgusting violence that has shattered the reputation of Ferguson, a town that has suffered enough.  
  
When are we going to stop living life by two sets of rules and standards, one for whites and one for blacks? We all live up to or fall by the benchmark we set for ourselves and others, and we have no one to blame but ourselve
