Actually racial tension would hurt Obama's re-election chances badly, especially if he were percieved as taking a racially-based position.
Depends on how quickly you’re looking to destroy the Republic. If you’re looking to destroy it ASAP, then by all means immediately turn to vigilantism at every change and knee jerk reaction. We’ll quickly find ourselves in more of a police state than we even have now. People will get fed up with innocent people being killed by roaming mobs or being held “hostage” by private bounties and mobs running around believing they are the law. We’ll have way more cases like this very case we’re debating more if we take vigilantism as appropriate response to everything.
Violence against the government is a held right and duty of the People. There could certainly be a time when we are left with no other choice. But it must be a last choice because when you rise up against the government as such, you roll the dice. You never entirely know what you’re going to get on the other side. That’s why it should be reserved only as a last resort. If this were aggregated to a much much higher level than isolated cases, you may begin to be able to make a case for violence against the government. But if it remains on an isolated level, you are better off soliciting changes from elsewhere.
Vigilantism is why we’re in this mess, more won’t make it better.
Oh so only white people are allowed to use violence to protect their rights?
I'm not so sure, he's been racially divisive all along. Even the healthcare, and how the Reps hate the poor and all, but this is getting off topic.
Why not? .
Because it's a complete break down of law and order and no matter how bad our justice system is it's better than whipped up mobs seeking vigalante justice.
If zimmerman isn't prosecuted and then uses stand your ground to avoid civil penalty. There will be much violence.
Sure but the violence would be indiscriminate and would only make the situation worse. Which is why Civil Rights leaders marched to change laws instead of firebombing white establishments that wouldn't seat black people.

when the justice system utterly fails, what are The People to do?

And it will be illegal violence, and will be met by the police in kind.

For the love of all things pure, turn down RIGHT WING RADIO.
Not grab their pitch forks. They need to get their asses off their couches and vote we still live in a Democracy.
You are losing it, man
Stay focus...calm down
Hey, genius.
How many whites are killed by blacks annually?
How many blacks are killed by whites annually?
Now, tell me where the problem lies.
While African Americans comprise 13.5% of the U.S. Population, 43% of all murder victims in 2007 were African American, 93.1% of whom were killed were African Americans.

No legal violence as set by stand your ground and castle. Zimmerman will be approached on the street. If he loses his cool he will be killed. As the person simply asking a question has a right to self defense.
Losing? Thunder already lost it dude.
At some point I think something should be done about your posting all over the forum that if Zimmerman has children they should be killed and that Zimmerman should be killed.
I think what goes around comes around. I hope zimmerman is ready to have people follow him and confront him in the street. If he doesn't want his kids involved he shouldn't have them near.
I suspect Martin had your bloodlust when this happened. And that is why it happened as it did.
