IMO: If no indictment is issued, then I hope that all sides keep the peace but after the occurrences over the last several months (which have ebbed down somewhat) and Mr. Brown's parents spoke at the U.N., the whole world is watching Ferguson, MO. |
You know the part in a Western, right before the shoot out starts? When all the townspeople are looking out the windows? It's like that.
1. The governor has declared a state of emergency so that he can activate the National Guard. They have booked rooms in hotels in downtown St. Louis.
2. The ACLU has brought in 100-150 volunteer attorneys.
3. The activist groups have been planning and practicing for the announcement. They have issued lists of sites in St. Louis that will be targets for protests.
4 . Illinois State Police and Missouri State Police have created plans to handle the protests.
5. Local churches are being set up as shelters and sanctuaries.
6. St. Louis University has issued guidelines for students who plan on participating in the protests.
7. Sales at local gun shops have tripled in the last month or so.
I sincerely hope this stays peaceful, but I doubt it. It's going to be a shitstorm.
