- b.c.,
I don't recall suggesting "the whole world is watching" and surely not with as much "bated breath" as some seem to PRESUME I've said.
What I AM suggesting is that the world (for various reasons, each their own) will and HAVE certainly taken NOTE of it, so that next time the U.S. presumes to tell someone ELSE about human rights violations, that country or their representative might very well tell us to go F***** ourselves, and rightly so.
Though it is INDEED interesting how the same people who with one breath say world view doesn't matter would in turn use this "whole world is watching" text as some cautionary as to how the good people of Ferguson should NOT react to yet another white wash of murder by cop.
Presumptuous too, their conclusion that world opinion would condemn the reaction of this community more so than the injustice of NO indictment of Wilson for the killing Michael Brown.
Therefore, the question (imo) becomes not IF people will react to the verdict (I think they WILL though HOPEFULLY, in a peaceful and dignified manner) nor even if they SHOULD. That SOMEthing need occur to effect change is EVIDENTLY clear.
And if not now, when? How many more Michael Browns and Trayvon Martins must there be?
