Geraldo Rivera wasted no time Tuesday afternoon lighting dynamite under an Outnumbered panel and setting the thing off. The fuse: his conviction that the indictment of Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson would be racially tinged, much like the trial of George Zimmerman.

Never a fan of the man but spot on in this case.
Incites is the correct term, meaning provoke, instigate, and foment. Careless and ignorant journalists contribute to the problems facing our nation.
That's the story, but actually, he was born "Gerald Riviera."
"Rivera" was his father's name, but his mother thought it sounded too Puerto Rican, so she stuck in an "i" that he took out later.
He added the "o" himself when he went into show business (or journalism or whatever it is he does).
That's his version anyway. Not as colorful as the "Jerry Rivers" story.
Whorealdo, always outraged, always wrong.
Really? Cite a number of cases where race was a huge influence. The inference is that blacks are being unduly punished. My view after fifty years of noticing events is that blacks are not punished nearly enough for their crimes. Many blacks in the educational system are treated with kid gloves for many years until they finally commit a serious crime.
That's why there's such a high pct. of blacks in the prison system. They commit far more crimes per capita than other Ameicans. I don't know how many crime reports I've read where a black perp committed the ultimate crime, murder, and had a rap sheet three feet long. Sorry, don't buy the "blacks are mistreated by the legal system" meme.
Yes, race plays a role, but not the way Rivera and other libs think. Libs still believe blacks are grossly mistreated by the criminal justice system.
They believe that all while living near NONE.
But how old are the stitches holding that chin implant in place? And how old is that hairpiece? He is such a vain old clown. But I didn’t know he was so very, very small and delicate.
The real question here is, why is Harris Faulkner not married to me? We want answers!

I watched the program today. I loved it early on when Harris jumped right in Gerry’s face about some idiotic comment he made (I don’t recall his comment)!
Unlike some previous posters here, there was only about 20% of Rivera’s comments that I could possibly agree with on the program. I think he’s a racist blowhard!
Well, what IS a knife anyway, but a very short spear?
