Grand Jury Decision Unlikely This Weekend As Private Security Move "Guns & Gold" Out Of Ferguson
Sporadic confrontations and violence between protesters and police continued to occur overnight in Ferguson as multiple news agencies report grand jury considering whether to indict the Ferguson police officer who shot and killed teenager Michael Brown is unlikely to meet and render a decision this weekend. The fear, as we have previously noted, is a major uprising as one sign protested, "if the killer cop walks, AmeriKKKa Halts," and as Fox reports, Brown family attorney is managing expectations, "99% of the time the police officer is not held accountable for killing a young black boy," Crump said. "The police officer gets all the consideration." There is, however, another potential reason for delaying the decision's reporting, as VICE reports, business owners in the St. Louis, Missouri area have hired private military contractors to transport guns and gold, fearing their shops will be targeted by looters if a grand jury does not indict.
As Fox reports, a grand jury decision this weekend is unlikely,
The grand jury considering whether to indict the Ferguson police officer who shot and killed teenager Michael Brown is unlikely to meet and render a decision this weekend, sources told Fox News on Saturday.
Those same sources say it is likely the grand jury will wait until Monday to reconvene.
The 12-member grand jury has been considering whether charges are warranted against Officer Darren Wilson, who shot and killed the 18-year-old Brown on Aug. 9 during a confrontation on a street in Ferguson. Wilson is white and Brown, who was unarmed, is black.
...
On Saturday, the authorities set up barricades around the Buzz Westfall Justice Center in Clayton, which is where the grand jury has been meeting.
Barricades also went up in the shopping center parking lot on West Florissant Avenue in Ferguson, which was where police set up a makeshift command center in the immediate aftermath of Brown's death.
...
"I just hope it stays peaceful," Freeman said of protests that will follow the grand jury decision. "We all have human emotions, bit there's a way to do things, and violence, you can't get peace from violence."
Crump, the Brown family attorney, seemed doubtful that Wilson would be charged, saying the grand jury process is weighted against those shot by police officers.
"Ninety-nine percent of the time the police officer is not held accountable for killing a young black boy," Crump said. "The police officer gets all the consideration."
And as VICE reports, business owners are growing increasingly anxious of the consequences...
Business owners in the St. Louis, Missouri area have hired private military contractors to transport guns and gold, fearing their shops will be targeted by looters if a grand jury does not indict Darren Wilson, the police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown in the St. Louis County suburb of Ferguson.
"There's a lot of people that brought in a lot of money to have people secure their assets," said Stephen King, owner of Metro Shooting Supplies gun shop, a 15-minute drive from Ferguson. "Some of those people spent $10 an hour on security guards and some people have $1,000 a day private contractors."
King confirmed that gun shops in the area are hiring private military contractors to escort the transport of their guns to secure locations. A private military contractor who spoke to VICE News on condition of anonymity said that more than 300 private military contractors, or PMCs, have been contracted for work in direct response to Ferguson security concerns.
...
"We've got our hands in a bunch things" related to security in the Ferguson area, said Ogden, a former Navy SEAL who was featured on the National Geographic reality program, Survival Alaska.
"If you are a business owner and you are in the business of selling firearms and you're in an area where shops have been looted, burned down, property stolen, you now have the responsibility to society to ensure to do everything possible to make sure that those firearms do not get into the hands of the wrong people."
"We got everything out last week, we put it back on Monday," said Duke, who had heard the grand jury decision would be announced on a Sunday. "This weekend it's going out again. A lot of it has already been moved." Moving his product back and forth comes at quite a cost, though exactly how much he wouldn't say.
He noted that the dollar value of the product being moved to secure offsite locations is in the millions.
"I'm not like a pawn shop, I don't buy TVs," he said. "I have precious metals. We have a law here that whatever you buy you have to hold for five days. So all those stores had those five days worth of business there. I'm a very large buyer so that's a large amount of money."
...
"We're going to have to do whatever we have to do legally to defend ourselves against some type of violent threat. It wouldn't be a brain surgeon that's going to be coming to our store to attack us," he said. "We know what we're going to do but they don't know, and that's the way we want to keep it."

Banksters think ALL OF YOU ARE NIGGERS. Divide and conquer, still works against the sheeple. Justice and law is ONLY FOR THE ELITE, while jail is only for the serfs. Oh....pigs are slaves but don't tell them as the fear the truth. Got it, now?
Where did America go wrong?
Answer: They were suckered into letting a hostile tribe take over and change the ethnic makeup of the country.
This is being overhyped....the straw that breaks the camels back will not be such a predictable incident such as this one. Just wait till a white working class/poor class starving family gets SWAT raided and murdered in cold blood, and the people just finally have had enough with the collapse of the social contract in this nation, and then sit back and let the fireworks roll.
Violent force only respects greater violent force.
I believe the PC political class lacks the will to implement it.
Individual Americans on the other hand, now that's a different story.
"99% of the time the police officer is not held accountable for killing a young black boy,"
99% of the time, if they would stop engaging in criminal activities, they would not be killed by a police officer. This applies to any color of person.
Only recently was cannabis decriminalized in my beloved state.
Elsewhere my own dear mother was a criminal for almost 30 years. During that time should she have been shot and killed?
No, but should've been forced to have an abortion.
"fearing their shops will be targeted by looters if a grand jury does not indict."
Their shops will be targeted by looters whether they indict or not. Either protest looting or celebratory looting.
That's cute.
Prideful looters , and superb parents!
For those that were paying attention I told ya they were dragging this out until January some time pay attention
a six foot, 4 inch tall 300# 18 year old "young black boy"... with a history of drug use, criminal behavior and violence.
gee, i was under the impression that you were an adult when you turned 18...
moral of the story: if you attack a cop, try and steal his weapon, then re-attack him, you're likely to get shot dead for your trouble. #duh
#PantsUpDontLoot
He wasn't doing anything wrong all white folks should allow themselves to be raped, robbed and murdered. You're a rayciss if you fight back /S
The grand jury is a political farce. If they indict, the prosecutors are off the hook with the cops that they usually cover up for. If they don't indict, the prosecutors are off the hook with the public because they can say "We did our job bringing this to the grand jury and the people have spoken."
Keep in mind the prosecutors office has the power to level charges at any time, with or without an indictment.
Blacks kill blacks everyday, most are never charged. where's the riots and terrorist threats, oh I forgot that's A-OK ! It's a problem when someone wants to stop a crime... Restraint of trade I suppose?
What if they gave a war and nobody came?
If Frank Marshal Davis had a son, it is my wish that he would have been ended similarly.
There are many, they reproduce with abandon and they are expensive to support. Fuck 'em.
