+1 Indeed.

I have wondered if the ones that will riot, are not saying , "yeah he shot him in self defense". they really can't get enough injustices going to put on riots.
or it could be they are waiting for a bigoted justice department to rain federal hell
IMO I think the trial showed what a horrible case the state had, and that GZ was clearly justified. IMO most don't want to admit it, but they know that TM got what he brought.

you'd be hard pressed to show that any individual black person, or indeed every black criminal in the united states collectively have done the "tremendous damage" of:
- v.i. Lenin
- leon trotsky
- joseph stalin
- adolf hitler
- heinrich himmler
- adolf eichmann
and yet i don't make a fool of myself by equating all, or even a substantial percentage of whites with stalin or hitler.
Behavior, good or bad isn't a function of race. It's a function of individual inclination as well as culture and the group morality arising from it. Arguing to the contrary is to argue that juergen stroop was a good person by virtue of his race, and general benjamin o. Davis jr. A bad one for the same reason.
citing race as a determinant of morality is the province of the mentally and morally defective.

sorry to bust anyones bubble, but there wont be any rioting.
Not as bad as I figured....... but FAR from none... AND in your own backyard. Damned ya didn't see that coming????
Oakland doesn't count.
I'd almost say the same thing about certain neighborhoods in LA, but they didn't actually reach riot proportions (a couple vandals are a couple of needed jail sentences, not a riot).
...is oakland not a city in the usa?
