the second part the sad thing, let s just be honest, they had a long time to prepare for this moment. it s not as if they just were stunned by the decision. i mean, they suspected this decision. when i spoke to michael brown s mother, she found out about the decision five minutes before and up until that point, thought there was going to be an indictment. coming from the legal perspective, this would be a difficult case to prove. because you ve got to prove not only he intended to cause this riot but caused the riot based on his words. i think if you listen to jason s reporting, the cause and effect piece would be difficult for a prosecuting. they have prosecutial discretion, given what s going on in ferguson, what prosecutor would charge a case like this? most would run the other way. should that be taken into account? just because it would upset people in the community, perhaps, to have this man
