There were two explicit assertions in my post.

First, I asserted that the killing of Brown, as I believe it probably went down, was not justice. The grand jury finding, taken at face value, says it was not provably illegal. But I've been assured repeatedly here that 'legal' has nothing to do with justice. Does that apply only one way, then?

Second, I asserted that people's attitudes toward 'punks' leads us not to care about 'street justice' being applied to them. The grand jury finding hardly makes my assessment of how people feel true or false....

So I don't see that the grand jury finding is a good basis for you to be certain I am wrong. Care to try again?

Ah but DQ we are a nation of laws, nowt was said about justice.
