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

Posted on 06/24/2013 5:27:44 AM PDT by Beagle8U

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.

In my opinion time the two, amnesty vote and St Trayvon trial, to take place at the same time isn’t just a coincidence.

I know. The prosecution had Zimmerman's family removed from the court, so the defense had Martins family attorney, Crump removed.

People should put the blame for them on the rioters and the people fomenting riots.

Like the MSM. Edited tapes, doctored pictures, et fricking cetera.

They did everything they could to portray this as an evil white man picking on that poor little smiling child.

I'm not sure if their marching orders include inciting riots, but it is very possible.

(Then they get to report on all that, which keeps deer leeder's indiscretions off the front page.)

Why are "they" surprised? It'll be like an NBA playoff. Their team wins? Riot. Their team loses? Riot.

It's a culture problem, not a results problem.

CNN is reporting that a poll of public opinion allegedly shows something like 75% believe the prosecution’s case. FUBAR

Where the political right has utterly failed is that from day 1 in the race bsm they should have come out en masse and said something like

“Racist” is thinking that blacks are to uncivilized/primitive to control their emotions. In fact, they are no different from whites or anyone else. Placing them beneath other races as the left does is both the definition of racism and the antithesis of what it means to be American. More than anyone, blacks should reject the notion fostered by the left that they are violent and incapable of controlling themselves.”

But they didn’t. And now the left really does have many of them on a plantation.

The defense is allowed to appeal on that basis.


True. So if an innocent verdict is overturned, the entire trial was for nothing and Zimmerman goes to prison? They can’t have another trial. Double jeapordy.

Floridians are heavily armed and love the shooting sports. They don’t call it the Gunshine State for nothing.

Florida is also the state with the highest percentage of military veterans among its population (1.6 million vets, 15% of the population, and a higher percentage of the adult male population)

Their “team” wins => legal precedent that other than black people cannot legally defend themselves from black thuggery.

Does anyone else detect this “all female jury” slur coming from the media now? CNN and ABC News (especially their radio) have been exceptionally biased.

I said the same thing. I heard this from ABC radio too.

From this article: http://www.fredoneverything.net/Blowup.shtml

...
Unless this stops, we face disaster. One day things will explode.

Nothing suggests that it will stop. I see no signs that the black underclass is shrinking, and many signs — the huge number of children — that it is growing. These people simply cannot be integrated into a techno-industrial European society. They bear no resemblance to middle-class blacks one sees in offices. They are parasitic, uneducable, criminally predatory — and they hate whites.

As blacks grow in numbers, they take over city after city. While these governments are not of the underclass, and don’t want riots, they will of political necessity support the underclass. And, I suspect, no blacks at all really like whites. The danger is that whites may weary of it. If they ever push back, the potential for irremediable, ghastly, self-sustaining conflict will be high. I’ll guess the country couldn’t recover.

It had better not happen, but it could. Any spark could light it. One day the underclass, rioting, may go into white neighborhoods to stomp and burn. They won’t expect resistance, because they have never met it. I don’t think Al and Jesse quite know how many deer guns, how many Weatherbys and .223s sit quietly in closets out here. If a mob comes toward a man’s home, where his wife and children are, the results will be astonishing. The police will immediately polarize, black versus white. So will everybody else. Government will be irrelevant. And the whole country just might blow up.

If that happens, God help us.

And isn’t it interesting that , in the same time frame, Schumer is ALSO predicting riots if the Immigration Bill
is not passed. This is the way they rule, and try to tweak public opinion: by fear, threats, and intimidation.


My personal opinion is that this is why Obama got a second term.

You are correct. If the jury declares him innocent, then it's over at the state level. This doesn't stop the feds from prosecuting, though, as they did against the cops in the Rodney King case.

A complicating factor arises of Zimmerman is acquitted of the major charge, but convicted of any lessor charge. You can be sure the judge will impose the maximum possible penalty on ANYTHING he's convicted of.

For example, in the trial of the Branch Davidians in Waco, the jury acquitted most of them, and convicted four on "voluntary manslaughter" (which carries a max of 10 years). The judge added 30 years on weapons charges (later overturned on appeal).

The jury needs to acquit on EVERYTHING for Zimmerman to get out of this alive (you can be sure he will not survive prison for long).

The establishment of a double standard, where anyone is held to lesser criteria, for whatever excuse, is demeaning and damaging. The illusion of accomplishment will run head-on into the reality of not being able to master the tasks a person is allegedly prepared for.

No good has come of this, least of all for blacks as a whole, and the assumption that many are merely affirmative action beneficiaries further demeans the achievements of those who made the grade without any concessions.

In fact, they are no different from whites or anyone else.


Actually, they are. All races are different in brain function, generallly speaking. It’s not just differences that appear physical. And that’s the problem.

As Fred Reed said about the “lower class black culture” in america:

“The viciousness merits attention. Whites kids riot, yes, usually about politics. They run excitedly about, get arrested and gassed, wave signs, and assuage their hormones. They do not stomp people. White college kids do not grab an official of the IMF, kick him until he hemorrhages to death, and laugh.

“The underclass does. When urban blacks surround a car, pull out a terrified woman they believe to be white, and hit her in the head with bricks, they’re not playing. They want to hurt, cripple, kill. That’s what bricks do.

“The underclass is what we have in the cities. One day it will come out. We won’t like it. They are not the nice black family down the street with the two polite kids and a Toyota. They are something very different.
...
“These people simply cannot be integrated into a techno-industrial European society. They bear no resemblance to middle-class blacks one sees in offices. They are parasitic, uneducable, criminally predatory — and they hate whites.”

This is who we are dealing with. The ~12 year old source of the quote above: http://www.fredoneverything.net/Blowup.shtml

It's right here at Free Republic. Just yesterday there were posts about putting six women in a room and how they somehow wouldn't be a good jury.
