I think the rioting is starting here in the west because the verdict came in so late. Tomorrow morning will be the beginning of troubles in east coast slums. In contrast to the Rodney King riots, this time around it seems far more trumped up with faked vehemence.
Good observation.
I'd noted on another thread the apparent absence (in my local area) of thuggish types, early this evening. I suppose they were congregating elsewhere watching for the verdict. So they'll be up bright and early tomorrow with plans for mischief? Oh wait, it's Sunday. Maybe Monday instead.
Even hyenas reconnoiter the situation before they plunder - what liquor stores have recently restocked, etc.
10PM on a Saturday night in the summer is just about ripe for a riot if there was gonna be one. Nothing will happen after tonight if it didn’t already start. People aren’t as invested in Trayvon being shot and killed as the race hu$telers and media make you think.
Only some attention whores who get on twitter or in front of a camera just to be seen or heard.
Rodney King was different this is true. That was about “the establishment” coming down on another black man and “getting away with it.”
GZ is not even white looking.
The desire for big screen televisions is probably genuine. ..
A lot will depend on what the preachers in the East coast black churches say this morning. If they whip up the black women at services, things could get interesting.
The R king riots weren’t ‘spontaneous” as everyone wants to believe.
They were orchestrated and the people starting the riots didn’t even know about the not guilty verdict.
One of the ones that bashed R Denny in the head with a cinder block said he was unaware of the verdict at his sentencing.
