Statistics show a deep divide in opinions along racial lines regarding the killing of a black Florida teenager, Trayvon Martin, by George Zimmerman, who is of mixed ethnicity, white and Hispanic.
Zimmerman has claimed self-defense, invoking the Sunshine State’s “Stand Your Ground” law which has also come under intense scrutiny in the wake of the incident.
Reuters news service reported last week, 91% of blacks believe Martin was unjustly killed, while only 35% of whites concurred. Hispanics were in between at 59% according to polling numbers Reuters gathered by querying nearly 2,000 Americans.
The disparity of views over Martin’s death is even less ambiguous than another racially charged case, the O.J. Simpson murder trial.

Significantly nonexistent afterwards was rioting, looting and burning of businesses, or attacks on hapless victims. After all, a black man had received justice, so-called.
Not so when the jury in the trial of police officers involved in the beating of defiant motorist Rodney King in Los Angeles failed to elicit the verdicts minorities were clamoring for.
In the days following that trial, blacks and Hispanics took to the streets of the L.A. basin killing, burning, rampaging, and robbing, feeling “they” had been denied justice...

An angry mob is a terrible thing to waste.
If there is to be war, let it be during my lifetime, so that my children should know peace.
If you're white you are Sh*t out of luck expecting equal treatment under the law in Holder's America. One of the new entitlements is the right to beat whitey down without the interference of the law.
Prepare yourself (I know most have already) as things will only get worse until a Conservative administration that honors this nation's laws is elected.
What happens when the mostly white liberal Occupy protesters run into the mostly black No-Justice protesters in the streets?
Kum-bai-ya..I don’t think so.
“IMO riots are preferable to further pandering and capitulation.”
Perfectly put.
Bring on the riots! Pandering has GOTTEN us to this point.
Bring it
You’re right, absolutely. I just happen to live a few miles south of where Zimmerman shot Trayvon in self defense. The media is on this day and night and it is way over the top. It’s almost like reliving the Casey Anthony case that happened here too. Florida—land of the crazies.
Anyone notice no one is talking about OweBama needing “more flexibilty” to deal with Russia? No doubt that the obama regime was busily scanning the wire for a case just like this to exploit.
And don’t get me started on the absolutely moronic “attorneys” representing Trayvon’s money grubbing parents. Those guys are bloddy stupid!
I guess I need a new lock on my door. Then I will wait for the writer and those he is threatening us with to do what they chose — be adults or riot, set things on fire, kill whites. I chose to defend myself. I will not riot nor set anything on fire or kill anyone, unless I am forced to do so. The decision is theirs — they can be adults and law-abiding citizens or not.
I think that the threats are coming because the evidence is so weak. I think a lot of those that jumped all over this case now realize that an acquittal on the evidence is now likely, and are going into a threats of riots mode to get what they want.
this won’t be a rerun of the LA riots. Everyone will have plenty of warning, so they will be prepared this time. If you think gun sales in the US have already been strong under obama, you ain’t seen nothing yet !
I suspect that what rioting and destruction they do will be confined to their own inner city neighbourhoods.
Also, if voters see black mobs robbing stores etc because they didn’t get their preferred verdict on a trial, that’s bad for the democrat party and obama.
From the mouth of the”black writer” comes this astonishing stupidity: “a not-guilty verdict in this case could very easily turn the racial cold war into a very hot one.”
RaceBoy further wants, make that demands, that Zimmerman be sacrificed (GUILTY OR NOT) to appease racist, hate filled blacks. He graciously would allow Zimmerman out of prison “within this decade” in “a deal”.
If not, RaceBoy threatens “Rodney King II”.
Those who, like RaceBoy, slept through Genocide 101 should remember that those wanting a race war are well advised to be in the majority.
Hint to RaceBoy, the racist writer - you are part of a small and easily identifiable minority.
Careful what you agitate for.
Just a reminder.
Mob rule. We either have laws applied equally and justly, or we have anarchy.
I can already see which way the black population wants to go.
The wicked can burn our cities to the ground. If we give into their extortion, then what good are those cities, anyway?
GOP-e, who are progressives, are too cowardly and disloyal to protect freedom and the rule of law.
That photo in your post #12 is sooo descriptive. Who took it and where, if I may ask?
The KKK was the terrorist wing of the Democrat Party. It looks like radical Democrat racists want to revive their early days and terrorize those who do not bow to their demands.
Prepare thyself - plagiarism is on the way.
Every John Derbyshire rule applies. Black in cities are always one spark away from racial murder. Their areas need to be cordoned off, cops heavily armed with orders to shoot to kill, and every white citizen must be armed if in public.
Nope but buying bear guard sized cans of pepper spray & while your at it BLOAT would be a pretty good idea .
ps don’t forget a gas mask for when you have to use the pepper spray ,it will come in handy .
