In what's certain to be a case to instantly be added to history books (and hopefully eventually looked at by all of humanity as a grave unjust act), the Michael Brown/Ferguson situation took a frustrating turn with the grand jury choosing to not indict Darren Wilson. As one of Atlanta's important cogs in the music community, Mayhem released his "#FERGUSON" tune tonight that just sounds and feels like "the struggle." While my opinion on this promised historical event ultimately doesn't matter, Mayhem's words that accompany this somber tune and confusing time hit in a very true way:

"This record I made a few nights ago sums up how I feel about the Ferguson decision. Uncertain, grievous, saddened yet hopeful that there's something positive to take from all of this. I'd like to put faith into the system but my gut tells me justice hasn't been served. I look forward to the full story when it becomes available. I'll reserve my judgement until then and I hope you decide to as well. Much love to all my Missouri folk dealing with the madness."
