Sanford Braces for Possible Zimmerman Riots
CNN ^ | June 21, 2013 | David Mattingly

What's the potential fallout from the George Zimmerman murder trial?

With its all-female jury now in place, the trial that's become a hot button for racial tension in America is one step closer to a resolution.

Last week someone said a deal was struck that the prosecution would remove all blacks from the jury if the defense would allow all white men to be removed.

Indeed. Or better yet, BECOME them.


The latter will happen.

We are in a different world than we were back then. I mean utterly different. Preppers were “nutcases” back then. It is now a growing wave in this country and a LOT of them are suburbanites. Fred’s articles on the subject become more relevant with every passing year:

Get out the shotguns and load them up. At the first sign of trouble - BEFORE THE LOOTING STARTS - use them, and use them often!

I find it unbelievable how much personal information is being released about the jurors. A situation ripe for jury intimidation.

They are saying riots either way in the video, did you watch it?

I don't need to watch it.IMO if Zimmerman gets 10 years or more there's no way that blacks will riot.If he *only* gets 10 years they might grumble but won't riot.If he's acquitted or only gets a year or two all bets are off...with blacks,that is.I don't know this nation's Hispanics well enough to know whether they'd riot if he's convicted.My sense is that they wouldn't but I certainly wouldn't bet on it.And whites rioting if he's convicted? Nope...far too many of them are too busy making a living.

What’s with the “all-female jury” bit? Almost sounds as if the media is setting up the PMS Defense for an adverse verdict.

You think a woman juror would be more, or less, affected by potential threats to her personal safety than a male juror would?

If there are riots they won’t be ‘Zimmerman’ riots or ‘white lawyers’ riots - they’ll be Trayvon Martin riots....

Wow! What if Zimmerman is found guilty, won't we have (white) Hispanics rioting in the streets?

Oh, wait a minute. Only one ethnic group is excused from the constraints of civilized behavior.

Win or lose, I'm gettin' me sumthin'!

I can see no way possible to get a guilty verdict based on the evidence. There will be riots in Sanford AND big cities across the nation IMHO.

“Vote to convict or there will be riots and your house will burn!”

The only way my house will burn down is if we run out of ammo.

Rev Al, says that cities will burn if justice isnt done.

That is why they wanted that gun bill signed into law by now, just in-case some store owners decide to use guns to interfer with rioters constistutional right to show their anger by looting businesses.

Morning Joe reporting that Reid has 5 Senators who told him they are willing to flip their voters for that gun bill they voted down, if they are sure it will pass.

This story is meant to intimidate the jurors.I hope that Zimmerman’s lawyers are paying close attention because this is a perfect reason for appeal.

My thought, too.

That’s probably the main thrust behind the gun control movement these days -

they don’t want law abiding citizens to defend themselves from the thugs,

because thuggery serves their agenda.

The movie “The Juror” with Demi Moore and Alec Baldwin was on cable the other night, the same night the Zimmerman trial’s all-female jury was announced. I watched the first half of it . Moore’s character is chosen to be on the jury for a mob murder trial because she is sufficiently ignorant and uninformed about current events, etc., and Alec Baldwin’s character is the mob hit man who intimidates, blackmails, and otherwise coerces her into swaying the other jurors by threatening to harm her young son. I couldn’t help but worry that the jurors in the Zimmerman case might be influenced the same way, into railroading Zimmerman even further.

God determines the outcome of wars...


I have a 2.5 hour round trip commute every day. I’ve been listening to the old testament the last couple of weeks from beginning to end. I’m just finishing up with II Kings.

There is a lot of that. And in my opinion it applies to things like the war between Germany and France in 1940.

The good guys don’t always win. And most of those in the south were not fighting about slavery, nor did they approve of it.

All that said, if the South had somehow been allowed to succeed, either through war or the north just giving in, the two resulting nations would have been like european nations. And other states may have chosen to succeed in BOTH countries. And there probably would have been battles or wars for land further west, and Mexico would probably have won some of those wars with weakened opponents.

IOW, in the end it looks like it was a very good thing, but the south had a strong case. After all, there was a lot of slavery in the north as well. They just didn’t depend on it as much as the south so it was easier for them to try to end it.

If Lincoln had not invoked the slavery issue AFTER the war had started, the North almost certainly would have lost, and the North american continent would probably have become another Europe with all the bickering, battles and wars between small nation-states.

The “Archduke Ferdinand Moment”? I’m loading AR-10 & AR-15 mags, anyway.

The Liberal MSM and the likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are causing racial tensions? Well there’s a shocker.
