You’re right, of course. There’s no downside to convicting Zimmerman ... there won’t be white riots. But if he is found not guilty, or guilty of a significantly lesser charge, then the New Negro Panthers and similar racist groups will go — pardon the expression — “bananas”!
We have mob rule. We’re getting closer to that in fact as well as in figure.
I will be fascinated to see how the trial goes and how they will convict Zimmerman based on what is known thusfar.
I may be a fool for believing there is still a functioning justice system in America today...but It should be a tough case for the prosecutors to make.
