WOW! All 125 of them huh?  Sounds like an uncontrollable riot!


But it happened and many in the media encouraged it by making unproven arguments like he targeted him because of race. I wonder how you would feel if that was your house that had the windows busted out and your possessions set on fire, it would be a different tune then wouldn't it.

Thirty-six hours after the verdict and still no American cities have burned to the ground.
The Alex Jones, Bill O’Reilly and Rush Limbaugh followers must be so disappointed. Urban riots
would have confirmed their paranoia about inherent black criminality, the very same paranoia
that enabled George Zimmerman to stalk and kill Trayvon Martin. Riots would have given them
a chance to indulge in their fantasies of fighting a race war and unrest would have given them
an enhanced license to kill. They could have each become judge, jury and executioner in a
Second Amendment dystopia where they could shoot at anything “darker than a paper bag”
for sport. Once civil order broke down, they could invoke “Stand your Ground” or self-defense
and kill with impunity, knowing full well their murderous intentions could be masked with cries
of “self-defense” against black looters and rioters. The only problem was the riots never
came.


Sorry Henry...    You don't get to shoot any rioters this time.  

Quoted Text
It was not for lack of effort on the part of the far right though. Alex Jones’ Infowars site
posted the dire apocalyptic predictions of ex-Chicago police officer Paul Huebl who proclaimed with
near certainty that a “not guilty” verdict would lead to America experiencing its worst race riots ever…

I fully expect organized race rioting to begin in every major city to dwarf the Rodney King and
the Martin Luther King riots of past decades.

If you live in a large city be prepared to evacuate or put up a fight to win.  You will need firearms,
fire suppression equipment along with lots of food and water.  Police resources will be slow and
outgunned everywhere.

America is about to see some combat related population control like we’ve not seen since the
Civil War.  Martial Law can’t be far behind complete with major efforts at gun grabbing.


Quoted Text
They were so eager in fact, that when the verdict failed to generate spontaneous riots,
they invented one. A video showing post-verdict riots in Miami was circulated by a White
Supremacist group. If the crowd looked strangely overdressed for July in Florida and maybe a bit
whiter than one might expect for an urban uprising in Miami, it is because the footage was from
the Vancouver Stanley Cup riots of 2011. The violent rage was not from African-Americans clamoring
for equal justice, but rather a bunch of white Canucks who were pissed off because they lost a
hockey game.

Look at box trying to justify the actions of this mob, even if it were my son the last thing I would want is people to destroy others property in the name of my son, you're worried about people giving Trayvon a bad name start with these scumbag losers who are destroying peoples businesses in his name.

Yes, I'd expect the president of the United States to say my son was HIS son on national television.  But none of the black children gunned down in Chicago(WHERE HE IS FROM) look like his son.  Just Trayvon.  Of the hundreds of black children that are murdered in Chicago, it is this black child from Florida that is the ONLY black child that could be Obama's son.

Obama is a sick POS that is inciting racial tension.  What a destructive presidency.

I don't 'throw stuff'.  

Next time he kills someone with this gun... maybe you'll feel differently.  In the mean time, Zimmerman's
life will be a living hell... but at least he's alive.

I'm guessing he might have to defend himself again and with the amount of death threats against him it will probably be justified.

Oh look more rioting, so much for peaceful protest

Quoted Text
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Protesters ran through Los Angeles streets Monday night, breaking windows, attacking people on sidewalks and at one point raiding a Wal-Mart store, while others blocked a major freeway in the San Francisco Bay Area in the third night of demonstrations in California over George Zimmerman's Florida acquittal in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

Thirteen people were arrested after multiple acts of vandalism and several assaults in Los Angeles' Crenshaw District, Mayor Eric Garcetti and Police Chief Charlie Beck said at a news conference.

Garcetti and Beck didn't elaborate on the assaults or any injuries, but at least one man could be seen in the street with a head injury.

More than 300 officers were called to the scene and were at first slow to directly engage protesters in an attempt to allow a peaceful end to the demonstration, Beck said. But the chief said police would take a much stricter posture in the coming nights.

"This will not be allowed to continue," Beck said.

Several hundred mostly peaceful protesters gathered Monday night at Leimert Park southwest of downtown LA, many of them chanting, praying and singing.

But a smaller group of between 100 and 150 people splintered off and began blocking traffic on nearby Crenshaw Boulevard, some of them jumping on cars and breaking windows at liquor stores and fast food outlets.

Several protesters ran into a Wal-Mart store, where they knocked down displays before store security chased them out, and police began guarding the door.

Tonya Williams was shopping with her daughter when the protesters burst in and security briefly locked down the store.

"We thought we were going to be stuck in there," Williams said. "We saw the merchandise all thrown around. They had pulled the rack down, and there was merchandise all over the floor."

TV news helicopters showed some people kicking and punching others along the street, including two people sitting on a bus bench.

Police declared the gathering an unlawful assembly about three hours after it began, and most of the crowd left the street.

Garcetti, who returned early from an East Coast trip because of the demonstrations, praised the "overwhelming majority" who protested peacefully.

"We are a better city than what we have seen tonight in the hands of a few people," the mayor said.

In Oakland, dozens of demonstrators briefly blocked all lanes of Interstate 880 at the tail end of rush hour, stopping traffic in both directions for several minutes before lanes were cleared by authorities. Several protesters laid their bicycles on the ground in front of stopped cars.

"You've got to go. You will go to jail," one police officer shouted at demonstrators who were blocking traffic, the Oakland Tribune reported. However, police decided not to make arrests as the marchers, chanting "Justice for Trayvon Martin," were directed back to surface streets.

Later, another group tried to march up the onramp to Interstate 580 before being turned away by Oakland police and California Highway Patrol officers.

The freeway protesters broke off from a larger group organized via social media that gathered at Oakland City Hall about an hour earlier.

More than a half-dozen people were arrested on charges of vandalism and assault, both felony and misdemeanor, Oakland police spokeswoman Johnna Watson said.

Over the weekend, demonstrators in Oakland and Los Angeles blocked traffic and clashed with police in protests over a Florida jury's acquittal of neighborhood watch volunteer Zimmerman in the shooting death of the unarmed black teenager.

Police shot beanbag rounds and arrested six people — including one on suspicion of assaulting an officer — while breaking up relatively small demonstrations before dawn.

No injuries were reported to either demonstrators or officers.

Most demonstrations around the state were peaceful.

Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer sent a letter Monday to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder supporting the Justice Department decision to review the case to determine whether Martin's civil rights were violated.

"I respect the fact that the jury has spoken ... but I don't think this should be the last word," Boxer wrote in the letter.

Witness claims youths yelled 'this is for Trayvon' in beating
Police still investigating claim in beating of Hispanic man        

Hundreds of Trayvon Martin supporters gathered in downtown Baltimore to rally in response to the George Zimmerman verdict.
By Justin George, The Baltimore Sun

7:39 p.m. EDT, July 15, 2013

Baltimore police say they are investigating a witness account that a group of black youths beat a Hispanic man near Patterson Park Sunday while saying, "This is for Trayvon."

A witness posted the account on a community Facebook page, and police confirmed they are looking into whether the suspects' reaction to the verdict in the Florida trial of George Zimmerman played a part in the incident. A police report on the beating does not mention the alleged comments.

Sgt. Eric Kowalczyk, a police spokesman, declined to go into further detail.

I fully expect 'La Raza' to stage counter protests on this attack against the civil rights of Hispanics (excluding the white ones)

Brings to mind the Republican Rent A Riot of 2000!  

Quoted Text
Indeed, all on-the-scene reports coming out now indicate that the Miami protest was carried
out by rent-a-rioters flown in by the Republican Party. GOP spokespeople have said that at least 750
Republican activists have been sent into South Florida from around the country to oppose the recount,
with the party picking up the tab for a number of them.

Initially the Zimmerman jury were evenly split...
3 for not guilty
2 for manslaughter
1 for murder.


Some on the board suggest that Zimmerman should not have been tried.  It appears that the decision to convict was
much closer than previously thought.
