The response to the Rodney King riots was way too weak. Should have put the fear of God into those rioters with the appropriate response.
how does that saying go?
“You don’t realize that it is better for you to have one man die for the people than to have the whole nation destroyed.”
Threats of riots should not determine anyone’s fate.
FU Mansfield Frazier. And go to hell while you’re at it.
How ‘bout allowing justice to be served. And if he’s found not guilty and there are those who want to break the law and riot, take the appropriate action.
I wonder what this guy would say if a black guy killed a klansman and everyone thinks that if he’s not found guilty the klansmen will start hanging people. Would he say “Let’s cut a deal and “allow” the black guy serve less than ten years.”
I was in the Compton Courthouse when the King verdicts were rendered. I personally witnessed courageous Koreans protecting their stores; I have a pictue of the LA riots on my wall.
That was a seminal moment in the life of me and my family.
I say, bring it on MF’ers.
Oh, it’s not going to be anything like Rodney King’s outcome. You see, us white people have a sense of ultimate justice. Where a totally innocent man, such as Reginald Denny is pulled out of his cab, and almost beaten to death by your brothers.
The Korean Shop-holders had it right, bitch.
Sacrfice Zimmerman to appease the mob. How pragmatic.
Excuse me while I vomit.
“So what would a fair outcome look like? To my mind, the government offers Zimmerman a plea deal that has him back on the street within this decade, and he accepts it quietly.”
Words of yet another Black extortionist.
Zimmerman’s only guilty of self-defense, not a crime anywhere.
He should (and must) go to trial and win his exoneration and freedom.
What you have in this article is a Democrat (no matter what he says he is) playing the O'Reilly "Fair and Balanced" mind game.
Can't this stupid SOB see that Zimmerman (no matter what the hell he did ... he wasn't charged) has been politically railroaded? His solution is to put Zimmerman away for a few years to appease the New Black Panther Party. That's justice in America? There's a pre-trial hearing owed Zimmerman, not to mention a trial. If Zimmerman proves self-defense pre-trial ... he walks. That's the law. (This case has NOTHING to do with "Stand Your Ground," which is merely a scary name for the Castle Doctrine guaranteed us by the Magna Carta)
Can't this stupid SOB see that the racial conflagration is the desired outcome of Team Obama? They think Chaos and Confusion spell victory for their ideology.
Can't this stupid SOB see that Holder, by not prosecuting the Black Panthers for their death threats and their earlier voter intimidation, has taken their side?
*Mind? This stupid SOB has no mind. He is letting his melanin think for him.
of course that’s what 00failure is hoping for
then again, the people of florida realized this... which is why the trial was pushed into next year
QQ moar 00failure, ya racist tard
Stupid me. I thought the business of the courts was justice.

To my mind, the fellow has the fair trial he's entitled to, and if he's found innocent he is released and any rioters and those inciting them shot as they deserve to be. How's that for "fair outcome", Mr. Frazier?
The gentleman is lying his face off.
Is this a column or a blackmail note? This little proposition is a bit different from the Rodney King situation. That was just a question of an obviously guilty SOB getting beaten up and then let off with bumps served. (Okay, while destroying the careers of the cops who were defending themselves, which was a crime.)
But this notion is, if possible, crazier. If the demand being made is that occasionally, some citizens must gracefully confess to sins they did not commit and go to jail because otherwise the mobs will exact vengeance on the whole society, then all bets are off. If the truth isn't admissible, we're already at war. Let's have the hot one, and get rid of this totalitarian s#$% once and for all.
Which reminds me: I think law-abiding Floridians are way better armed than the Angelinos were.
If the LAPD had IMMEDIATELY done their job (Chief Darryl Gates was at an Awards Banquet and didn't even know what the hell was happening!) it would have been a short disturbance indeed.
Then the uber-wimp GHW BUsh came in and instead of arresting the Mayor for Inciting a Riot, made sure the acquitted cops were charged with "Civil Rights" violations and condemned to serious time on completely trumped up charges that even enraged .... for a while ...the ACLU! ... again to appease African-American mobs. One smart move in LA would have won him re-election!
And BTW, Bob Zimmerman did not speak out against Obama and Holder until AFTER they had shot their mouths off. I have no idea who this Mansfield Frazier guy is ... except maybe some token newsroom geek who cannot wait to go pull the Obama lever.
The writer has decided in advance what “justice” would look like and what sort of outcome he wants. He isn’t concerned about a fair trial for Mr. Zimmerman or examination of the facts.
“The paramount concern has to be to avert a large-scale racial calamity.”
F that, you racist POS. Bring on the calamity. I don’t want to share my country with people like you.
Mr. Frazier, I was in LA for the ‘92 riots.
I don’t live anywhere near people like that anymore. I was on my own then, so anyone in a new potential riot zone shall be on their own should it happen again.
I don’t wish for any riots to come, but I sure as shit don’t care if any riots come.
