Zimmerman Riots? Jury NOT Intimidated, and Neither Should Anybody Else Be
Reaganite Republican ^ | 14 July 2013 | Reaganite Republican

Take it from a guy who patrolled his building's roof 
with a Sig 9mm in the Rodney King riot- no worries


Back in 1992, I had lived in Venice Beach at the Santa Monica border for a couple years when the riot hit. They sent us all home from work early that day -after windows were shot out of a building down the street-
and I sure did witness some fires and lawless zones on the way back to my apartment at the beach.

Back there we heard some shots fired in the late afternoon-evening and a few fires cropped up 5 blocks away or so. Even white-owned businesses where putting 'black owned' signs on their boarded-up shops as they headed for the hills, and the police where nowhere to be seen for hours.

My landlord was a former Army Ranger that had quite a stash of guns, so he, I, and another guy just spent the night on the roof sleeping in shifts to make sure nothing got torched on our street. Nobody squeezed off any rounds tho, and there was only a couple fires and a few gunshots the whole night- all in all, not too much to worry about, and the residual residents of the 4-story building seemed to sleep fine with the roof patrol up there.

The next day the National Guard arrived with an APC parked right across the street from us, and one Guardsman let my girlfriend and I pose with his rifle. I later sent the pic to my folks with the added inscription 'Don't worry mom, I'm all riot!'. We still hadn't seen any LAPD for 24 hours, maybe one car the whole time.

That night we headed on up to the Ventura, CA Holiday Inn, crossing into Malibu just ahead of a freshly-imposed curfew. And it was packed with people escaping continued rioting, of course. In fact -LA being LA- there was quite a non-stop party going on down in the lounge, as the riot news played on a big projection-TV screen.

Since I was a renter with no real stake, I didn't want to expose my gal to any danger by making an extended stand on the roof like the Korean grocers famously did. But because we had our guns and kept our eyes open, we really never had to sweat anything that first violent night in LA.

Alas, if you were a property owner- why tolerate thieves/vandals rioting over the Zimmerman case? I sure wouldn't give an inch to a bunch of 'wilding' idiots who couldn't even explain the basic elements of the murder case/charges (nor provide justification for their own outrageous behavior) if you paid them to do so.

Lock and load, and don't EVER allow race-bating demagogues like Big Al, JJ, and yes Barack Obama to threaten anyone with street violence if we don't allow the conviction of an innocent man simply because they deem it necessary... Americans can and will defend themselves, their homes, and their property- just like Zimmerman did.

Mr Issa, you're going to look into Obama and Holder's involvement in this attempting lynching, right...? Time to have a hard look at why these two ne'er-do-wells made this situation 10x worse than it had to be.

Good luck. They think voting for O-hole and putting an “equality” sticker on their mo-ped will save them from Urban thugs. They will still get their brains bashed out with fire extinguishers. Too bad for them. The less of them, the better.

Has anyone told any of these idiots that if Trayvon Martin had not hit Zimmerman he would still be alive?

Every one of these liberal pukes has an Obama Biden sticker on their cars or in their window. The guy across the street is a re-located New Yorker who thinks guns should be banned across the board. I will probably be the guy who has to save his bacon when the bro’s in the hood beat his ass.

Yeah. I’m just hoping for video. There is nothing that pulls a liberal toward the right more than rioting. It’s easy to be “tolerant” when you have no skin in the game.
The media sells a lot of commercials during riots. It’s good for business.

True fact

All that mattered in that case was Martin was smashing Z’s head against the ground and telling him he’s going to die

Nobody in this country can tell you not to shoot a guy like that

We had to go across the state yesterday on a quick visit and then back to the east coast of Florida....

...on the way home a sign said ....Sanford 30 miles....

..from reading FR on my ipad during the car trip, I had the feeling the verdict would come down last night...

...thankfully we got home before dark.

And sure enough, less than 2 hours after we arrived home,....VICTORY!

As a re-located New Yorker myself I must ask, why bother?

My colored cousins should be advised: We white guys are a little twitchy right now, what with all the threats of violence to be visited on absolutely uninvolved citizens.

So, tread carefully, my friends.

Diogenesis.....I almost always agree with you....

..but truly, Issa is one of few who is actually doing something...

...and look at the stonewall tactics he's getting from those who should be giving him information

We have just seen in a microcosm important information was withheld from Zimmermans defense team for 6 months!

I say give Issa some slack.....he's trying.
