The difference between this case and the Rodney King case which led to the riots of 1992 was that there was alot more racial tension due to other documented instances of hate crimes in L.A. Today in Florida this seems to be an isolated incident.

Nothing in Florida is an isolated incident. The whole state is a mess.
The only thing fabulous about Florida (outside of my childhood disney vacations) is PLOL.
I am legit surprised there have been no riots. I thought Miami was most likely given the kid is from there, and their poor areas are really poor.
In reality, people just post on the internet now about how they're going to riot I guess, rather than actually get off the couch. Too fat to riot.
Truth is, despite all the fear mongering, '91 and '92 were the most violent years in US history. Shit was legit crazy everywhere back then. Crack fiends just looking for a reason to riot. The murder/violent crime numbers now are about 45% of those years.
The right provocateur could probably stir some shit up still, but it appears to likely pass. The parents and their counsel being disappointed, but dignified in their post verdict statements/press conference was really important. They deescalated the anger rather than escalate it.
Yes, the country is a lot different now than in the early '90s. Young people don't realize how terrible the crime rate was back then -- the worst in modern US history. Everything has calmed a lot since then. There are many theories about this, but the nation is definitely less violent than it was 20 years ago, despite the apparent uptick of mass-murder types of incidents.
Of places to move in the USA he probably needs to go to somewhere in butt fuck Utah otherwise everyday of his life he will be wondering if it's his last.
About 87% funny, a bit of seriousness there. I am of the opinion, right or wrong, that any people who use being "outraged" by a verdict enough to riot should be shot in the streets. 99% of people who riot in a situation like this have no emotional investment in the trial whatsoever. They are opportunists pure and simple.
There are no black people rioting in Chicago right now even though 55 were shot and 12 dies over the 4th of July weekend. So far this year there have been OVER 1000 shootings in Chicago and no one seems to give a fuck. Why? It's because Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson don't care about black on black violence because it doesn't suit their agenda. Meanwhile, the race baiters and the chicken hawks will use the Trayvon situation to further get themselves in front of national media cameras.
The truth of the matter is that a kid is dead and the guy that killed him will have to live with it. Like it or not, he was found not guilty by a jury as prescribed by the law. The case isn't over by any means. I give it one week before Eric Holder announces that the DOJ will be prosecuting Zimmerman for violating Trayvon's civil rights.
If anyone who has these views would listen to the whole 911 call instead of spewing the media bs you wouldnt post this garbage. Listen to the 911 call. Travon clearly confronted him and its not even a dispute. He was doing what his job entailed him to do. Its not against the law to follow someone, and he clearly stopped while on the phone with the 911 operator, and he says this guy is coming towards me.
The only issue I have with anything that was done was if your fighting someone head up and start losing shooting him is the cowardly way out. Take the ass whipping like a man.
The added irony of a woman getting 20 years in prison for popping off a round into some drywall in an effort to scare off her abusive husband the day before Zimmerman goes free for killing a kid just makes this embarrassment of justice all the more terrible.
Zimmerman's brother saying that the "family is worried that some vigilantes might take justice into their hands" is comic gold.
The worst thing about this is that Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson now won't shutup about It.
What if Trayvon Martin was the one who killed George Zimmerman instead?
I bet he would be in prison and white people would be demanding the death penalty.
George Zimmerman should leave Florida immediately.
Go to Texas, Arkansas, Alabama, Kentucky or Alaska.
Or join Edward Snowden and seek asylum in a foreign country.
:facepalm3
Ummm..no. Crimes rates have been dropping since 1980.

In 513 Days Between Trayvon Dying and the Zimmerman Trial Verdict, 11,106 Blacks Have Been Murdered by OTHER BLACKS
By soopermexican On July 14, 2013
I wrote this back in April of last year:
To be exact, the shameful truth is that 93% of African-American murders are committed by other African-Americans. That is breathtakingly awful when you consider how incensed the African-American community is about the Trayvon tragedy, no matter what you believe about Zimmerman’s guilt.
Let’s do the gruesome math, not out of morbidity, but because it manifests the incredible self-centered insanity of people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
8,000-9,000 African-Americans are murdered each year.
93% of them by other African-Americans.
That’s 7,905 (from average)
That’s 21.65 murdered each day by other African-Americans.
And these racebaiting culture-hustling microphone-pimps only get riled up when a “White Hispanic” kills an African-American? It’s absolutely shameful.
To update, in the 513 days between Trayvon dying, and today’s verdict, 11,106 African Americans have been murdered by other African-Americans.
I was so shocked, I had to double check my numbers.
Seems most people here still have shit for brains. No surprise there.
You have never lived in a rough neighbourhood, so please shut the fuck up, you clueless rube.
Oh and, what is his point? Really? You don't get it? You don't understand that the media (and people by default) doesn't give a fuck about blacks killing blacks, but when a case like this surfaces ITS SUCH AN OUTRAGE.
I bet all the media attn given to this case was them guessing he would be found not guilty. This case from day 1 was about a white man (who is just as white as our black president) shooting a black kid an a white community.
If a half mexican killed a brother in the hood it wouldnt be news worthy whether he was convicted or not.
My reasons why the media choose this case.
1. He was black and the shooter was thought to be white because of his last name and the community it happened in.
2. Travon has a real young looking face. The media wanted to make it look like a monster killed this young boy.
3. Originally they thought he called them coons on the 911 call. The media blew that up at every chance until oops my bad he actually said punks.
The reasons the State tried the case
1. Jesse Jackson
2. NAACP
3. Obama (who I voted for)
4. Media pressure
There was nothing agregious about this case it was 1 shot. Its not like he beat him up in front of his child and threw him down the stairs.
It's not like he slit their throats from ear to ear and feigned suicide in a white bronco.
Overall violent crime was highest in the early 90's
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_the_United_States
Since the blacks didnt get their way the naacp and obama are trying to find another way to get the results they want. It goes against everything this country stands for. What a joke.
why would white people care if a black kid shot a spic, it happens every day in New York, L.A., Chicago and nobody gives a shit,
blacks make up 13% of the general population and 40% of the prison population and spics make up 16% of the general population and 35% of the prison population in the US
Man, streets are on fire over here.
You were right RT.

lol at you not only dodging things in this thread, but posting a link from a parody site...and furthermore a parody site that is managed by the left.
:yes
As if we didn't already have enough reasons to hate Piers Morgan, he gives us this gem.
http://twitchy.com/2013/07/14/becaus...mpaign=twitter
I've said it already, but man it is really depressing knowing there are so many idiots out there that are incapable of forming their own thoughts, regurgitating what all of these civil rights blowhards have spoon fed them. Now on top of that we have THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES and our ATTORNEY GENERAL doing nothing other than fanning the flames of this insanity. I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it with my own eyes. It's truly a travesty now.
Yeah, Zimmerman took a black girl to his prom, sponsored and mentored two black children, stuck up for a black homeless man who was beaten up by the Sanford police dept., has numerous black friends, but yeah, he's a racist.
I am so sick of all this talk about racial profiling.
I have been robbed at gunpoint twice in my life. Both times the person that robbed me was black, and get this... WAS WEARING A FUCKING HOODIE! Aside from domestic violence, a hoodie is probably the most common thing worn while committing a violent crime. To all these civil rights activists out there protesting this verdict and underhandedly provoking violence against whites, fix your fucking thugged out, ghetto ass culture and then you can start bitching about why your people are being racially profiled. We know you won't do that though, cause that's not profitable in your line of work.
BTW, FOX News reported earlier there was a beating in MS where 3 black men forced a white jogger into their car, told him "this is for Trayvon" and then beat the shit out of him. I'm sure this is just the start of this nonsense.
Anyone who knows Stephan a Smith knows he mr black, but hes also very smart. After the verdict he was outraged, so he had to look up some facts of the trial to be able to talk about on tv. After he looked at the facts of the case he admitted they had no case, and Zimmerman should have never been charged. He admitted everything he heard in the media about the case was wrong. All it takes is for anyone with any common sense is to listen to what actually happened and not what the media has reported.

"There are factions, there are groups, there are people that would want to take the law into their own hands as they perceive it, or be vigilante's in some sense," he told Morgan

Tight state..
Florida is a great state so don't blame the state, Look at California all the thieves, low life's, dope addicts use this as a reason to rob people, California is 10 times worse then Florida, Druff who loves to spew hate on the great state of florida can watch the news and see that shit hole L.A is robbing,Fighting, Setting fires etc but he will never admit Cali is one of worst states to live
Only reason anyone picked up on this is because of Florida's loose gun laws and they wanted this to play into an agenda to restrict weapons in the state. If Zimmerman had been convicted of anything, the call for more gun control would have been deafening. Make no mistake about it, that was the only thing they cared about. Using the mis- mal- and uninformed to act like fools for their cause is, well, like watching a cock-fight to them.
