    I would think so, yes.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      It's ALSO possible that a federal civil rights suit could be filed -- the Grand Jury only applies to local prosecution.

        Listening to Obama's speech that seems unlikely but then in a politically charged atmosphere anything is possible. Look at how he did a 180 concerning the IRS abuses.

        I'm always still in trouble again

          Yeah, I may have spoken too soon on Obama's speech... he kept talking when it would have been much better just to stop after making his appeal for calm.

            Looting now in full swing -- McDonalds broken into, looting of the Market and Liquor store... looters wearing masks...

                A lot of innocent people live in that tea cup, and will be impacted for many years to come.

                I saw last night some of the protesters complaining that the police presence "don't show us no respect". As I watched looters stream in and out of local businesses, having smashed windows and set fires, I'm wondering what, exactly, is there to respect?

                  I had that same thought.
                  Basically I think a lot of these thugs don't care about the law, or Brown, or who gets hurt, they just want an excuse to loot and riot. Then post it on youtube and CNN. I think those same people would have done the same thing no matter what the Grand Jury decision: either in protest of the decision, or in "celebration" of it.

                    Actually, I thought it would be worse. At this point only property is harmed - "stuff" can be replaced.

                          Adrian Peterson actually tweeted this message:


                          Adrian Peterson @AdrianPeterson

                          The GRAND JURY DECIDED NOT TO INDICT ME TOO! But that changed a week LATER! MAYBE,BUT NOT LIKELY N THIS CASE

                          #PUTyourTrustNGODnotINtheWORLD!


                          So, beating your defenseless 4 year old child bloody with a switch is comparable to a cop who shot an assailant?


                          Reggie Bush:



                          Reggie Bush @ReggieBush

                          So this is what justice looks like huh! SMH




                          Serena Williams:

                          Wow. Just wow. Shameful. What will it take???





                          Truth be damned to these type of people. You just can't reason with those who are so blinded by their racism and feelings of entitlement...

                              Well, what was your point in trying to go out of your way to minimize what is by all accounts a major news event with real implications? You didn't leave much to go on.

                                When you see how often there is rioting and looting in "celebration" of the home team winning a sports championship it does seem that for a certain segment of society they are merely looking for any excuse. And then when other people see them doing it and getting away with it they start getting drawn into participating as well.
