I hope those who predicted black folks will riot take a good look in the mirror
Here's a thread I started before the verdict.
Central Florida DUERS check in. And Observations about Sanford.
Beside finding the suggestion that African Americans in Sanford will riot if there is an unfavorable outcome in the Zimmerman trial racist I also find it implausible for logistical reasons.
Sanford is a deeply segregated city. The east side (Midway) is almost exclusively African American, the middle and older part is predominately caucasian, and the west side looks like any suburb with a mixture of races that looks like the rest of America. The Sanford downtown is about two square miles with the tallest building being about four stories.
There's nothing there.
I lived in that general area almost my entire life before moving to L A last April. Before I moved I saw a lot of young people, of all colors, wearing hoodies with their hood up in a obvious show of solidarity with the martyred Trayvon Martin.
Peaceful protests, yes... Riots, I don't see em..

Well to be fair every time a group of leftists gathers, violence does seem to break out.
Then we have all the Twitter posts and words from the New Black Panties about rioting and killing whitey.

1. I would not blame the African Community for rioting if they chose to do so.
The message of the verdict from last night is that lynching (with a firearm) is back in vogue.
Maybe they will hit your house first.

2. I never believed there would be riots,
peaceful protests? Yes, riots? No.
The only place there was violence was in 3 CA cities, one of them being Oakland.
This whole meme about riots if Zimmerman was acquitted was nothing more than racial profiling IMO.
The funny thing is, I think a lot of white DUmmies would be the first to riot.

4. I don't think there will be riots, but there will be a wave of folks legally arming themselves.
Especially when there is no justice and now law to protect you
The more decent and civilized people who are armed, the better things will be.
Maybe if more white Hispanics have guns, future Trayvons won't try to go all "gangsta" on some cracker's ass.

Kind of explains the lack of stupid riots.

I guess this means that the race war won't be starting?
I thought DU would be disappointed.

Trust me, the primitives are disappointed. They wanted it so badly, and apparently aren't getting it.

Hey, it's Sunday. Even the government freeloaders take Sunday off. They will be at the riots bright and early late Monday afternoon. :-)

I'll go with CCWs in Florida for $1000 Alex.

And it's...the DAILY DOUBLE :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
I'll wager 5000, Alex.
For $5000 the answer is - "Because Central Florida citizens have more guns than Chicago or L.A.'s"
Umm...What is..."Why aren't there any riots in Sanford?"
You are CORRECT! And that $5000 puts you in the lead. Next category.
