Fed goverment out of control.

On voter registration forms, George Zimmerman identified himself as Hispanic

Our police have openly said they plan on simply cordoning off the affected area, and allowing the "disturbance" to continue unabated and localized until it burns itself out. That way, the department minimizes injuries, damage, and civil suits. 9-1-1 will be "unavailable." Everybody and everything inside the cordon is SOL.

I notice that you are in Virginia. In Virginia you would be in a worse position over having to defend yourself in a riot situation than if you were in Florida (FL/VA laws compared).

In Florida (or PA which has similar stand-your-ground laws), you are allowed greater discretion to use deadly force to resist a felony. I could just imagine the police saying "If a riot begins, we will pull out. We will not investigate any shootings of rioters. Ever."

Would not be surprised if there will be a call for FL state police SWAT teams to take care of any possible rioting

Nah. That would be racist.

Would not surprise me if what say comes true. FL is not CA and while there are liberals, there are many conservatives as well, some who do own arms.

You might be right. Eventually, the government will be forced to act in one of these situations. Perhaps this will be the one.

The variable that worries me the most is the New Black Panthers. Their bounty on Zimmerman’s head is troubling, to say the least. Some knucklehead MUST be thinking about that $10,000 prize!

What happens if somebody finds Zimmerman beforehand, for example by tracing his phone calls? Would he face a summary execution (lynching) or just a beating? The “wanted poster” says “dead or alive” and I’ll bet somebody is thinking about the “dead” part first.

Would they try to take Zimmerman out with a sniper, at the courthouse? Zimmerman will need to appear in court, so there is no chance he can stay hidden for long. Does Zimmerman have the sense to ask for a ride to court in an armored SWAT vehicle? Will they go out of state to pick him up?

And what will the JustUs Department do if Zimmerman gets killed before the trial? I expect an apology would be out of the question ...

[Biggirl]

If Mr. Zimmerman can even be found at all, because he has fled the country.

It would just be bloody and spread to other states. But that parts moot since they have indicted him on second degree murder. The next set of threats will be convict him or else.
