They shouldn't riot just kill Z.
How nice.

Baloney... Do you believe all the nonsense you read on Twitter? Do you even know what race they are?

Declare martial law right before the verdict and shoot any rioters.
Whites are use to deferring to black rioters but the Asians and Latinos won't. I doubt the Muslims will either. We saw that with the armed Asians in the LA Riots. The blacks are in for a shock. People are arming themselves cause they can't depend on the Government to protect them.
If violence does break out, I blame the national news media for riding on the coat tails of Al Sharpton and pumping the race angle, not taking the time to get the facts, and basically convicting Zimmerman from day one... If they would have done their job and covered this thing responsibly, half of America wouldn't think Zimmerman is some racist who killed a black kid in cold blood, and would understand that the reason he will likely be found not guilty, is because he didn't break any laws... Not because Florida didn't care about Trayvon's death because he was black.
That's just what we need....a race riot over the case and then some black kid in a hoodie gets offed by a white guy with an AR defending his house or business.:roll:
You can blame the media until you're blue in the face but you know doggone well who will take the blame in the end.

I have said it before, but I simply do not understand the depth of emotional investment in this case. The bare facts, as we know them, concern a teenager being shot dead by a 28 year old neighbourhood watch representative. As they should in any civilised jurisdiction, the circumstances surrounding this act are being tried in a court of law. Whether the accused is found guilty, or otherwise, will be dependent upon the evidence submitted, and there is nothing untoward about that evidence being tested by the independent judicial system.
That anyone should suggest civil disobedience in the event of the court's ruling not meeting their expectations, indicates a society no longer governed by the rule of law. The proposition that the accused should not be exonerated if the evidence indicates a lack of culpability, is as ludicrous as the proposition that his actions should not have been examined by a court of law.
good post ... so far a toss up ... we're going to have to trust the jurors to do the right thing ... I think they will ...

There are LOTS of people on Twitter saying this right now. They can tell it's not going the way they wanted it to. I hope this doesn't happen.
Obama?
If I were on the jury I would be making real good notes for my book.Sadly. All it takes is one pro-trayvon fanatic to either take some snap shots of the people in the jury or if he has some brains, hack the sytem to find them out. And if the jury, which I understand is mostly made up of women, finds Z not guilty... I'm afraid riots and murders are going to also get a bit targetted.
This is what the people who have been participating in this whole Trayvon Martin vs Zimmerman case have encouraged. All the people who decided to care about 2 nobody's.
Thank you - it is mature and sensible attitudes, such as you display, which must prevail if yours is to continue being a civilised society. The concepts of rioting because a court of law finds against your expectations, or that of not examining the shooting death of an unarmed teenager, are incomprehensible to me.
Yeah, but he'll just say he was never told and didn't even know the trial was going on until Carney told him the day before.
