Social media was a blaze Monday night (Nov.24) when Prosecutor Robert McCulloch announced Officer Darren Wilson would not be charged in the shooting death of 18 year old Mike Brown. Before McCulloch read the decision shortly before 9:30 pm, the Ferguson Decision hashtag had already begun to trend. Take a look at some Twitter’s reactions to the grand jury verdict.
I hate that everyone is throwing their anger at Obama. He has to speak as a nation’s President. Not a Black man with 140 characters.

It Doesn’t take 100 days to decide if murder is a crime, it takes 100 days to figure out how to tell people it isn’t… #FergusonDecision

#ToRecap, violence is okay if you feel threatened. Provided you don’t use violence when you feel threatened. #Ferguson
