The prevailing wisdom is that Ferguson, MO will explode if the officer who shot Michael Brown is not indicted:

Well, he most likely will not be indicted, and even if he is it's unlikely he would be convicted.
So, prepare for the locals to riot.
And where is our so-called President and his Attorney General on this? I guess we'll find out, won't we?
What surprises me the most is that whites in Missouri (and elsewhere) don't see or understand the racial tensions that swirl all around them:

We in America neither take responsibility for what we and our ancestors have done, nor do we even understand it.
Nevertheless, we shall reap what we have sown.
Update: Here are two reports which confirm my claims there will be no charges but there will be riots:
