Ferguson!!

I'm writing this before the announcement is made by the Grand Jury as to what its findings are on the Ferguson police shooting

I will add more later but do want to say that I think that the lead up to this event is a tragic, stupid indication of the state of society and especially the media:

• First - why has it taken so long for the Grand Jury to come to a decision
• Then, why has the announcement of their findings been delayed day after day after week with all the attendant media coverage
• Why has the media focused on this situation given it prime time coverage for days and weeks building the tension, and fomenting the situation
• It is almost inevitable that something will happen after the results no matter what they are
• Now at 6:00pm on announcement day, CNN (which is what I am watching) is almost in orgasm with excitement,  with anchors, interviewers, cameras and more all stirring the situation
• It's a show business event

That's all for now - I'm staggered by all this!! which makes a nonsence of the importance of this event, and the tragedy that begat it
