Preparing for Riots After Zimmerman Verdict Is Racial Fear Mongering
 

A 'Ground Swell" of protest..... the DoJ and the MSM sparked a movement. If Law Enforcement doesn't prepare and their are riots they will get hammered, if they do prepare they are racists!

What a circus!

Holy hell, this crap is getting old. It was not ignored as we can see from the trial. The investigators concluded that there was zero evidence that things did not happen exactly as Zimmerman described. Everything actually supported his claim.

The police chief was fired and the lead investigator demoted as a prosecution team was brought in from other cities as the locals knew the truth and would not prosecute.

Yet the media still runs the bullshit....

We're dealing with Promoters and Facilitators ;)

The Paranoid Style in American Politics

This actually looks like a intereasting read.....despite being a Communist and attending the University of Criminals at Columbia ;)

So is the inference that MSM understands and leverages the "Paranoid Style" or that those reading/observing the information see it through such a filter?

Understanding the extremes of reaction...probability that the MSM is simply creating the circumstances for news to happen in the future...

Florida is one of the states where verdict riots could potentially be more lethal to the rioters than to the rest of the population. That nonsense that went on in LA after Rodney King had more to do with a population that was effectively disarmed than any thing else. The people in LA who armed themselves to protect their families, property and businesses were fine, those who didn't became road kill. I don't see the same thing happening in Florida. Too many responsible gun owners for it to get that far out of hand.

Actually there were instances of the LEOs disarming and disbanding those that were trying to protect their property. The Korean store incident comes to mind. :munchin

I am currently on vacation in So Cal and was wondering if the verdict would come down while I was out here. Heading north to fly out of LA on Saturday. I don't know if LA will riot if a verdict comes down they don't like, but I guess it is a possibility if people want to look for an excuse to loot and pillage.

Hopefully the jury will hold off until at least Sunday.:cool:

With the likes of Jamie Foxx encouraging riots if a not guilty verdict comes down, it will be interesting to see what happens nationwide. I am hoping common sense will prevail, but that may be asking too much.

I made that comment because I remember a picture of a Korean grocer standing guard at his unmolested store while people were looting and burning all the surrounding businesses. Perhaps he was later disarmed but the take away for me was that none of the rioters wanted any part of screwing with a person willing to shoot them dead.

A new twist.

Manslaughter charge allowed
Judge Debra Nelson ruled Thursday that jurors will be allowed to consider manslaughter instead of the original second-degree murder charge against Zimmerman. But she denied prosecutors' request to let the jurors also consider third-degree felony murder in their deliberations.
Prosecutors argued that charge on the theory that Zimmerman had committed child abuse when he shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin on February 26, 2012. Nelson questioned a requirement in Florida law that would have required jurors to find Zimmerman intentionally committed child abuse.

"I just don't think the evidence supports that," she said.
Before Nelson's ruling, defense attorney Don West reacted angrily to the proposal, accusing prosecutors of springing the theory at the last minute and calling it a "trick."
"Oh my God," he told Nelson. "Just when I thought this case couldn't get any more bizarre, the state is seeking third-degree murder based on child abuse."
But Nelson agreed to allow the manslaughter charge after prosecutors argued that Florida law requires its inclusion.
In arguing unsuccessfully against the manslaughter charge, West told Nelson that Zimmerman believes that because the "state has charged him with second-degree murder, they should be required to prove it, if they can."
Prosecutors sought the additional charges to give jurors more options should they find Zimmerman didn't commit second-degree murder when he killed Martin.

In other issues, attorneys also argued over a defense request that Nelson tell jurors that following someone isn't a crime.
"You are absolutely allowed to follow, especially if you want to tell the police, that cannot be considered provocation, carrying a licensed firearm cannot be considered a threat," West argued.
But Nelson said there's no Florida law that explicitly says following someone is not illegal, so she couldn't tell the jury that it's part of the law.
She also denied the defense's request to instruct jurors about how they should view circumstantial evidence.

The LA riots were contained to the Ghetto to protect the rioters. They knew what was going to happen if they got out. I think it's like 1 in 3 houses in FL have guns. Plus people on both sides are ready to vent.

The prosecution is going to get their pound of flesh. This thing is so politicized that Z-man is foookd

I have a queasy feeling in my gizzard that we won't just see rioting in Florida, as was the case with King and the rioting just happening in L.A., but that we'll see various riots in pretty much every population center around the country.

I may be wrong, but just to be on the safe side, I might just start carrying my MP15 with me, as well as my EDC. Thank God Colorado is still an open carry State ..... for now.
