Professor John Gruhl offended students in his political science class this Halloween when he “shot” at them while wearing a Dick Cheney mask.

Hunters are sometimes portrayed as cold, heartless killers, but a cool infographic from the National Shooting Sports Foundation shows quite the opposite. According to the infographic, deer hunters provide about 11 million meals for the less fortunate in the form of about 2.8 million pounds of venison donated to shelters, food banks and church kitchens.

Following the announcement of the grand jury’s decision not to indict Darren Wilson, Michael Brown’s parents released the following statement:

“We are profoundly disappointed that the killer of our child will not face the consequence of his actions. While we understand that many others share our pain, we ask that you channel your frustration in ways that will make a positive change.”

However, a video captured by protesters paints a very different picture. While Michael Brown’s mother cheered him on, Brown’s stepfather can clearly be heard yelling at the crowd to “Burn this bitch down!”

While some wholeheartedly agreed with the St. Louis County grand jury’s decision not to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson and others believe that justice absolutely was not served, one this was certain following the announcement – everyone had an opinion. In fact, it took Twitter users around five hours to rack up over 3.5 million tweets under the hashtag #Ferguson. The tweets per minute between the hours of 6 and 11 p.m. ranged from a little under 10,000 to over 50,000 at an 8:30 p.m. peak, right around the time the decision was announced.
