Officer Wilson not indicted in killing of Michael Brown

by Simon in

after a thorough investigation and weighing of the evidence the grand jury has decided not to indict the officer.. the reaction so far seems as predicted - people refuse to accept that the result represents justice despite claims that is what they wanted.. there is now violence and vandalism, including gunshots.

let's hope the police contain the troublemakers.. .

This is how I perceive things. This case, and the reactions to it, reflect what America is going through at this point in time. I feel so sad for America. So much hatred and fear, on many levels.

Travelling extensively south of the border, in the early 80s, I felt so much promise. People were Working, Going to School, Starting Businesses. Remembering the 60s & 70s, with the marches for racial equality, the inspiring leadership surrounding that movement that fostered HOPE for a country that would lead the world to a better place. Along came Vietnam, and once again, the American people eventually triumphed, forcing the government through peaceful protests (well, if you don't count death by cop) to end that dirty war. In the 70s, we were all just having fun, jobs were plentiful, and still blissed out on the peace and love generation. But as the 80s progressed, things changed. Greed became the buzz word, and the party started to go downhill.

Thirty years later, I see more race riots, millions unemployed, lacking health care, the nation living in high fear because of terrrorist attacks (both foreign and domestic), homelessness an epidemic, and much more. I see a society that reached extreme heights of decadence and power, which is now in decline. The Michael Brown incident is the latest in a snowballing series of events that will end in a bloody revolution. That has been my opinion for a long time.

Why is Justice wearing a blindfold? Because she doesn't want to know the truth. That is what the people know - the justice system is corrupt. Whether this latest grand jury opinion is fair and just, matters not. The die is set.

Okay, now I see what you are seeing - at the very tip of the heel.

I was just about to type, that it's a particularly bad drawing of the hip area, and wth is that fold? It isn't drawn properly at all because that crease is wrong. haha, that is exactly where the goat's head seems to appear.

Yes, Oubliette, I think I read that on another thread. It might have been the thread where CoCo (once again) put up the scan of the letter he received from the experts, verifying that some of these WT publications do, indeed, have subliminal images in them.

Well, I had my roomie look at it after I enlarged it, and we are both stumped.

The Pope is not afraid to call the police about pedophiles.......

by sparky1 in

take note governing body of jehovahs witnesses (tm).

even the pope realizes that it is important to get the secular authorities involved in child molestation cases.

wake up and smell the coffee!!!.

never a jw

I don't hate the RC Church. I DO hate cover-ups of child rape. The Church has been under fire for 4 decades now, and the Pope has finally made a statement.

Here in Eastern Canada, there have been at least 2 large scandals, and the RC Church is selling off one of its diocese' properties to pay for the settlements. What about the history of this makes you look more kindly at the RC Church? After they have been sued and exposed for covering up child rape, and protecting pedophiles, the Pope NOW says the police should be called.

Cynical? No. Realistic. I have two very close RC friends, one of whom 'almost' left the Church when the Mount Cashel abuse story broke. They are disillusioned with the Church. And that makes me cynical? I guess my CAtholic friends are .... what would you call it? Crushed? Disillusioned? Yeah, all of the above.
