Ferguson riots America November 2014

Prefaces:

The result of the verdict from the grand jury were the exact opposite of what anybody had expected.

As every one waited [ 1] for hours and hours for the verdict forces on both sides eyed their foes with suspicion for both sides as is common thought themselves absolutely in the right and their enemy utterly contemptibly wrong. Meanwhile more ambitious souls thought to capitalize on the suffering of all by commercializing the situation and to "milk" events for as long as possible.

At last the verdict was announced with audacity and appropriate pomp.

Was this the day of Judgment or just another cycle in the civilization of America? Did evil have to befall an unwilling victim? How did cause and effect bring about the situation at hand.

The law had spoken and as Pindar says " the law is lord of all".

But as future events were to evidence, the result of the verdict from the grand jury were the exact opposite of what anybody expected. For as was commonly said and thought in those times, now long past, " the revolution will not be televised".

Later we shall revisit further events related to this topic that proceeded as direct result of the Ferguson riots that occurred in America in November of 2014, times long since past and except for this brief History now mostly forgotten.
