"The protesters last night weren't that far from my home.... They do know where I live. I know that because they posted it online. That is a fact, but I haven't been physically threatened yet.
"People have pointed me out there and harassed me before. It just comes with being a conservative reporter as you know."
A grand jury has reached a decision on whether Wilson will be charged in the fatal shooting of Michael Brown last summer, an incident that triggered weeks of racial unrest in the St. Louis suburb.
