Here are the first three paragraphs of a terribly sad story about the Michael Brown/Darren Wilson investigation, written by the Saint Louis Post-Dispatch\’s Jessica Bock:
TheFerguson-Florissant and Clayton school districts sent letters toparents this week with reminders of emergency procedures shouldclasses be canceled, delayed or dismissed early.
Schoolstypically send reminders before winter begins of inclement weatherprocedures. But the districts want parents to be especially cognizantthis year as the public awaits a decision from the St. Louis Countygrand jury on whether to charge Ferguson police officer Darren Wilsonin the shooting death of Michael Brown.
“Shouldany event occur during school hours which presents a concern forpublic safety, a decision will be made as soon as possible regardingany necessary changes to the school day schedule, and we willevaluate whether bus transportation will be possible depending onseveral factors including road closures impacting bus routes,”Ferguson-Florissant\’s Acting Superintendent Larry Larrew wrote.
Now, a short Q&A:
-Why would these school districts be so worried? Because – as you don\’t need me to tell you – if the grand jury does not indict officer Darren Wilson for shooting and killing Michael Brown, and based on the evidence which has been leaked that is a very strong likelihood, there are going to be riots.
-Who will perpetrate these riots? Supporters of the so-called “Justice For Michael Brown” movement.
-What do these people want? Now you have to eliminate the word “justice”. What they want is for Darren Wilson to be tried, convicted, and sentenced to a maximum term, maybe put to death altogether.
-Do they give a damn about the evidence which has been uncovered; evidence which seems clearly to support officer Wilson\’s version of what happened? No they do not.
-Do their actions inflame racial tensions? Obviously they do.
-But who benefits from it? Which group? Don\’t feel bad about not being able to name one. I can\’t name one either.
This is what it has come to. That is the sharpton/jackson progression in all its glory.
Well done, al. Well done, jesse. Mission accomplished.
