It'll take 6 minutes and 24 seconds out of your life. Discuss. I don't have to say anything because I agree with every single word this guy says. (Of course, I probably will...)
I saw this a couple of times on our forum, and I think it deserves a thread of its own. I picked it up from Sharon's post. (Thank you, Sharon.)
Thing is... nobody appears to have rioted. Seems a bit strong calling people morons for doing what no one appears to have done.

He has either forgotten or is unaware of some dozen instances of racially motivated attacks on lone white males by gangs of blacks in early 2012, all predicated on “settling the score” over the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
•On April 11, the Gainseville Sun carried the story of a 27-year-old man who was walking home from a bar “when he was jumped by five to eight men who shouted “Trayvon” before the attack.”
•Several days prior, the Toledo Blade reported that Dallas Watts, who is white, was jumped and beaten by six black assailants ranging in age from 11 to 17. Even after he was down, they continued to punch and kick him, all the while shouting, “[Get] that white [man]. This is for Trayvon … Trayvon lives, white [man]. Kill that white [man].” Watts was 78 years old at the time.
•On April 21, Matthew Owens of Mobile, Ala., was so savagely beaten by nearly two dozen black adults brandishing pipes, belt buckles, paint cans, and chairs that he was hospitalized in critical condition. Although the incident began as a disagreement between Owens and a neighbor, during the assault, one assailant was overheard exclaiming, “Now that’s justice for Trayvon.”

» Oakland Hit By Riots After Zimmerman Verdict Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!
And what of the "revenge" for Trayvon violence even before the trail/verdict?
TIME columnist:
TBH I didn't really get very much from it at all. His thesis seemed to be nothing except "If you riot and get shot, it'll be your own fault." Well, duh! What did you get from it that so blew your socks off?MaggieD said:That's what you got out of that video? Really? Jesus.
Alex Jones? Nice source. I checked on these disturbances in Oakland using more reliable media. Sounds like a quiet night in any inner city district.
"No arrests were made, and there were no reported injuries,"
No arrests in Oakland vandalism - SFGate

I think I'm with that Time correspondent. So much huff and puff about the risk of riots sounded to me a lot like ome people wishing it to happen so that their race theories about violence look like something more than paranoia.

Because the morons threatening to burn down white neighborhoods and kill whitey and track down Zimmerman themselves to bring Justice to Trayvon (on Facebook and Twitter, don't forget) vastly outnumber guys like him.
I seriously doubt he has placed himself in any danger.MaggieD said:In this case, on this subject? Yes, frankly, I do. Brave man.
