It is 7:55 PM CST. We are just a few moments away from the announcement of the Grand Jury decision in the Michael Brown killing by Officer Darren Wilson.
The local and national media have turned this into a prime time national circus. Earlier this evening, you could see so-called protesters or maybe just viewers dancing, like this was a celebration.
This national special television event is sickening.
The Grand Jury decision is expected later today. Depending how much later and just what that decision is could make my ride home on the Metro-Link train tonight ……….interesting.

This is a quote from the above link. My comments follow the quote.
“The Sac (Sauk), and Fox tribes of Illinois and Wisconsin were also affected by the Indian Removal Act. One Sac chief signed a treaty abandoning Indian lands east of the Mississippi, and he moved the tribes to Iowa. Chief Black Hawk, however, along with a faction from the tribes, revolted against forced removal from the land of their ancestors. In 1832, they returned to their Illinois lands and conducted a campaign of raids and ambushes. The United States Army responded and violently suppressed what the government considered an Indian insurrection. Black Hawk was captured and imprisoned in St. Louis in 1833. Among the regular army troops involved in this action was Lieutenant Jefferson Davis of Mississippi, while Captain Abraham Lincoln served with the Illinois volunteers. Thirty years later these two men would head the Confederate and Union governments during the Civil War”
Chief Black Hawk’s autobiography gives a bit more information on the above mentioned treaty. Black Hawk sent two braves, one of which may have been a chief to St. Louis to speak with the white man’s government and military. There had been problems between white settlers moving on Sauk territory. Whites stole from the crop of the Sauk. Naturally there was fighting, as the Sauk were defending their homeland. The government officials got the two Sauk tribal members drunk and got them to agree to give up the territory east of the Mississippi, around the present day Rock Island area. Black Hawk did not recognize the treaty as being honest because the two were intoxicated by the deceitful white men. He also stated they did not have the authority to enter into a treaty without the approval of the Sauk tribal leaders.
The white man’s government stole the land from the Sauk and forced them across the river into Iowa. Also, the raids the quote above speaks of, was the Sauk, led by Black Hawk back across the Mississippi to reclaim the land that was theirs and stolen from them.
A great deal can be written with different words and interpretations according to how the author wants to portray the story, even, especially history. Many history books have a different accounting of the facts, it all depends on what the writers want the reader to believe.
Don’t just read the headlines, read it all, especially the comments about “White people”. To those who believe Obama is your sudden savior, remember this “Obama giveth and We the People of the U.S. taketh away.”
Now I get it!
It amazes me, that blogs and reblogs you believe would draw great interest, lots of views but then don’t; and the simplest of comments or stories draws loads of public interest and comments.
Never assume too much what people want to hear or read. Write with your heart and what you know, add a little creativity from time to time and hope you aren’t alone.
Write with free will.
It would be a sin not to reblog this. Hilarious, but with a massive character description of Obama.
Of course he likes it, he won’t have to deal with what remains our problem.
It came out the way the high seat leaders in our government wanted it to come out; kind of like the Warren Commission’s Warren Report.
It is more like a message from the fast and furious unjust justice department and the community disorganizer. A message on justice from the most unjust.
Ahead of the grand jury decision in Ferguson, Missouri, both outgoing (finally!)Attorney General Eric Holder and Emperor Obama released messages warning law enforcement to behave themselves.
“The Justice Department encourages law enforcement officials, in every jurisdiction, to work with the communities they serve to minimize needless confrontation,” Holder said.
“Over the past few months, we’ve seen demonstrations and protests that have sought to bring attention to real and significant underlying issues involving police practices, implicit bias, and pervasive community distrust. And in most cases, these demonstrations have been both meaningful and responsible, and have brought vital issues to the attention of the public at large,” the Holder said in a video.
(That’s a fascinating take since the shooting sparked months of violent protests, property destruction and looting in Ferguson, and law enforcement officials there have been bracing for more violence after the decision is announced.)
“I know, from first-hand experience, that demonstrations like…
