Just Another Exceptional American Night Living Under Exceptional American Justice

At some point, the only answer left is to burn it down.  Burn it all down and start over.  American society, even in Ferguson, hasn't reach that point yet, but it will, eventually, as the self-destructive process was initiated long ago with little to mitigate progress.  If somehow anyone out there with more than a brace of functioning neurons was surprised by the failure to indict the murderer Darren Wilson for his crimes, then those same sorry bastards were probably also surprised by the reaction.  The United States is already the most violent society in the developed world, and the violence is perpetrated every single day, but when an especially egregious and widely-publicized act of violence against an unarmed teenager goes unpunished, some buffoons pretend to be outraged at the uprising after they were less than outraged by anything which came before.  America is an exceptional country.  Exceptionally racist.  Exceptionally violent.  Exceptionally unjust.  Vile shitheads like Robert McCulloch and Jay Nixon did everything they possibly could to make the situation on the ground in Ferguson as bad as it could possibly be in order to further their own political careers.  McCulloch never had any intention of holding Wilson accountable for his crimes at a trial; he acted in the defense of Wilson and the police in general and staged his performance art announcement to maximize his own coverage in prime time and insure that all the protests would get as much media coverage as possible.  At least Nixon will never be considered for VP after this shit show.
