Yet the public mind has been so poisoned that an acquittal of George Zimmerman could ignite a reaction similar to that, 20 years ago, when the Simi Valley jury acquitted the LAPD cops in the Rodney King beating case.

Should that happen, those who fanned the flames, and those who did nothing to douse them, should themselves go on trial in the public arena.

It looks more and more like he should go free. If the facts bear that out, then the law says he walks. If a bunch of thugs want to act differently, then perhaps it's time for local, perhaps even federal, police to arrest and prosecute to the fullest extent possible anyone who riots or otherwise breaks the law. Too many times I've seen situations like this degenerate into a crime spree that has nothing to do with the actual cause. From Rodney King to the aftermath of Katrina, it's an excuse to plunder. How 'bout authorities start planning right now for how they are going to do their jobs of protecting the owners and their property rights.

You did see the news back in 2008 about a radical Marxist Chicago racialist named Barack Hussein Obama being elected president, didn't you? It was in all the papers. He has since named another racialist as US Attorney General.

It's like the Bull's championships back in the 90s. The running joke was to start taking orders for flat screen TVs early. Travon would be an outstanding excuse to riot and loot.
