CBC (Congressional Black Caucus): Zimmerman acquittal could spark race riots
Beltway Confidential ^ | June 11, 2012 | Joel Gehrke

Race riots could ensue if George Zimmerman -- the shooter in the Trayvon Martin case -- is found not guilty of second-degree murder by a Florida jury, the Congressional Black Caucus' executive director allowed yesterday.

"I think a 'not guilty' verdict is extremely problematic in 2012," said Angela Rye, the Executive Director and General Counsel for the Congressional Black Caucus. She said, "I don't know," when asked what would happen in the event of an acquittal. "I know that folks have talked about race riots -- I don't know that. I think that we live in a day and age where people are educated enough not to do that. I know that his mother and his father have asked for peace, peaceful solutions, not repaying evil for evil, so I'm not sure. I think it would set us back . . . there's no value to racial violence or any other kind of violence."

Rye cited the media handling of the Trayvon Martin shooting as an example of racial bias. "To demonize a victim is always heavily criticized if it's a white woman, if it's a child -- but in this situation, this boy who was not alive anymore to tell his side of the story was quickly demonized, and that's where I take issue," she said.

Sounds like the pip squeeks are trying to blackmail the future jury members in FL.

So even if he proves his innocence beyond a shadow of a doubt, he must fry or else?
Blacks claim to want equality, but not the real justice that comes with it.

It was the CBC that was in the vanguard of an attempt to foment the Race War, three days after Hurricane Catrina...

Coincidentally, Jesse Jackson returned from ‘consultations’ with Hugo Chavez and representatives of the Cuban government, just hours before the flood of inflamatory comments from members of the CBC...

(Look it up - it really happened.... )

Please, please, please bring it on. Lets settle this once and for all.

If you morons want to spend the rest of human history being hyphenated Americans you will continue to be the losers you are.

Those who instead wake up each day as Americans (not hyphenated lessor Americans) have utilized the opportunities available in the USA are head and shoulders over those who want to remain on the democrat plantation.

I repeat PLEASE bring it on.

Wow...not even thinly veiling the threats, are we? One good threat deserves another; start race riots over the righteous acquittal of George Zimmerman and you will be met with the anger and wrath of those who are sick and tired of being victimized by the black race. Bet on it.

We are well past the time to let the jungle gangsta caucus do their thing so we can clean up them and the mess they love to wallow in. Bring it, caucus thugs. You are not better than OUR Constitution.

"Race riots could ensue if George Zimmerman -- the shooter in the Trayvon Martin case -- is found not guilty of second-degree murder by a Florida jury,..."

I reckon that's their plan. A national incident is the only way they have left to keep Obama in office for more than one term.

Frankly, my response is "bring it on!!"
