I wonder what the delay is with the Grand Jury

I'm very concerned about what is going to happen when the decision is announced.



I think it's going to be pretty bad. They're already protesting and the decision hasn't been announced yet.

What about the grand jurors? I'm sure that they will need some sort of protection, no?

FBI has already caught the Black Panthers trying to build a bomb. shite could get really interesting.

Against this backdrop of heightened tensions, according to a law enforcement source, two men described as reputed members of a militant group called the New Black Panther Party, were arrested in the St. Louis area in an FBI sting operation.

As initially reported by CBS News, the men were suspected of acquiring explosives for pipe bombs that they planned to set off during protests in Ferguson, according to the official, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to publicly discuss the case.

Sunday's tidbit:

quote:

The grand jury consists of six white men, three white women, two black women and one black man. Nine votes are needed to indict.

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the racial makeup of the grand jury is similar to the racial breakdown of St. Louis County, which is about 24 percent black and about 68 percent white.

The ages and hometowns of the jurors weren't released. A judge is expected to consider Monday whether to make that information public.
