Asheville Citizen-Times
By Carol Motsinger:
A group has announced an Asheville response to the grand jury decision Monday evening in the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson.
A grand jury has decided not to indict Darren Wilson in the death of Michael Brown, the unarmed, black 18-year-old whose fatal shooting by a white officer sparked weeks of sometimes-violent protests and exposed deep racial tension between many African-Americans and police. …
The Asheville response is planned for 5 p.m. Tuesday at the Vance Monument at Pack Place in downtown Asheville.
“No indictment! The whole system is guilty! Join us at 5 p.m. at Vance Monument. Bring banners, signs, your friends, family and neighbors. #nojusticenopeace #blacklivesmatter #ferguson #justiceformikebrown,” the Facebook invite says.
