I've wondered if the main trigger is one's feelings about armed civilians, and whether they make society safer or escalate violence.
Over 30,000 people are killed every year in this country by guns, many victims are innocent young kids like Trayvon. Was justice served in all those cases? Were the perpetrators all arrested and convicted? Were any of them acquitted because of self defense laws? I have no idea because the only case the media seems to care about is this one. The only winners are CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, Drudge for turning this into a national story, and treating us like sports spectators, everyone gets to choose sides and watch the events unfold on TV.

In the meantime black woman with straining order against abusive husband gets twenty years for firing warning shots that didn't hurt her husband in her own home. Castle doctrine and SYG need not apply for black women. 20 years in prison.

This is the media trying to stir things up again. These cases are very different. From what I understand, she drove to his house, they got into an argument, she left the home and got a gun out of her car, went back into the house pointed it at the guy and his sons and shot in their direction. I agree that what she did certainly doesn't deserve 20 years in prison, but I don't see any similarities with the Zimmerman case.

And this is the current state of LIBERALS doing justice..... Because this thing happens to many people, black and white.
Go on Youtube, and other news sources and you see case after case of "liberal justice". It's occured in the UK where guns have been banned, and a man defended himself and his home from known violent offenders and HE'S the one in jail because he used a gun.
This particular issue is nothing about being black, it's about liberals making self defense a crime, which is exactly what was wrong with the Zimmerman case. Liberals made it a crime for a man (or woman) to defend himself.

Like one commenter on infowars said "Can't wait to see the chimps riot!"
Post racial Murica!
1. The threats of rioting came from the Hip-Hop underclass - Trayvon's fans and supporters - in the social networking community online, not from "wingos," whoever they may be.
2. While it is possible and always will be possible to find a white racist peppered among the American population, here and there, the fixation on race and all things racial continues, in sustained, broad, and salient form within only two major regions of American society: the political and cultural Left and within a substantial if minority segment of the black population.
The sad and ironic fact of the matter is that for most Caucasian Americans and for the vast majority of conservatives, we've moved on, and we'd love for the rest of the nation to do so as well. Its only on the Left that the home fires of race are kept burning.

Unlikely, as there's no indication that he's a conservative or is knowledgeable enough about anything to be a pundit. Further, Zimmerman, given his personal background, is a hero and role model to nobody, not the least of which are to conservatives.
It was Trayvon Martin who became an icon to the racialist Left and who, had he survived, been feted and vetted by the white and black media/political Left and might have ended with his own Gangsta version of Hannah Montana on the Disney Channel.

Strange, isn't it? Indeed, Jesse Jackson et al's pleas to blacks not to riot are themselves thinly veiled incitements. The very idea that American blacks are expected to behave in this manner (while the idea of white or Latino riots if Zimmerman had been convicted couldn't be taken seriously on its face) shows the magnitude of the sociocultural problems we face as a nation and that the black community faces within its own precincts.
I'll bet the Korean community in South Central LA was locked and loaded and on pins and needles after the verdict came down.
They know.

Yup, which, had Trayvon survived, could have been followed up on BET with The No Limit Nigga Show.
This would have been a good project for Spike Lee to have worked on and would have been a big hit for the target audience (Rachel Jeantel etc.)

DarkHelmet wrote:The race riot predictions were coming from both sides. Lots of Zimmerman supporters predicting riots, but also a lot of Trayvon supporters threatening to riot if Zimerman was acquitted.
So on one side (racially profiling an entire community), we have nearly every high-profile right-wing talking head, including Hannity, Beck, Jones, Limbaugh and O'Reilly.
What are the names of the "Trayvon supporters" who were "threatening to riot," beyond a few anonymous commenters and tweeters?
