Riots or not?

[boedicca]

Considering that the zimmerman trial seems to be wrapping up....


My question is do you think there will be riots following an acquittal?



In my opinion, i believe that there will be serious rioting. Given past behavior of certain groups.... it would stand to reason that they will do it again.

I feel that ANY excuse to riot, burn, loot and act like animals is taken advantage of. This will provide another advantage.




Poll to follow (if i can figure out how to do it) If i cant just please answer in you posts.

Do you think a post like yours ^^^ is productive?

More productive than any of yours, you sad sack of sophistry.


As someone who was chased by a mob (in downtown Berkeley) after the Rodney King verdict, it is quite rational to be concerned and to expect even worse riots today. We have a President and an AG who are promoting racial division, which by definition encourages violence. And then there is the little bit about how the DOJ actually funded anti-Zimmerman protests.

Do i say


"blacks" rioting anywhere in my OP, poll, or subsequent posts?

Care to elaborate on those "certain groups" you pointed to in your OP?

do i say...black?

You meant The Boy Scouts of America, Right?

The only absurd blog I've seen regarding this accusation makes a disingenuous comparison of the DOJ funding efforts to spend $HUNDRED$ to ameliorate the situation, to supporting violent protest.

More productive to a DISCUSSION board than sided-stepping a question

Your ridiculous blog doesn't support any of the claims it makes as to the purpose of that money.

Since I'm so not psychic and have never been able to predict the future, I voted "other," which I may have anyway, hoping that there will not be trouble over any jury verdict.

Also, just because I still believe the initial police report that let Zimmerman go free because it was self-defense since his story matched the forensics' likelihood that the evidence fully supported his recollection of events.

People have no idea the high standards forensics experts exact when looking at the facts of any given matter. They go into just the facts mode.

My favorite reading for 30 years was reading every police story with special emphasis on forensics that was in print.

Forensics detectives have brought light to dark matters and follow scientific methods.

No, I don't think so.

It sounds like the DOJ is some kind of an obstruction of justice based on the findings of Judicial Watch using the Freedom of Information Act, which uncovered the real deal:

Records obtained by Judicial Watch in response to local, state and federal public records requests show that the so-called peacekeepers are part of a large and growing division within DOJ called the Community Relations Service (CRS). Though CRS purports to spot and quell racial tensions nationwide before they arise, the documents obtained by Judicial Watch show the group actively worked to foment unrest, spending thousands of taxpayer dollars on travel and hotel rooms to train protestors throughout Florida. The peacekeepers also met with officials of the Republican National Convention, scheduled for several months later in Tampa, to warn them to expect protests in connection with Martin’s death.

• CRS employee spent $1,142.84 to travel to Sanford, Florida from March 25-28, 2012 “to work marches, demonstrations, and rallies”;
• CRS employee spent $751.60 to travel to Sanford, Florida from March 30-April 1, 2012 “to provide technical assistance to the City of Sanford, event organizers, and law enforcement agencies for the march and rally on March 31”;
• CRS employee spent $1,307.40 to travel to Sanford, Florida from April 3-12, 2012 “to provide technical assistance, conciliation, and onsite mediation during demonstrations planned in Sanford”;
• CRS employee spent $672.24 to travel to Tampa, Florida from April 18-20, 2012 “to meet with RNC official related to possible protests and demonstrations during the RNC”

I'm sorry that even the Justice Department is being used like the KKK in getting President Obama's hit list supported.

We were better off when the government supported equality for all.

Of course it is.

What else would you call Judicial Watch, if not a right-wing blog?

It's not a blog. It's the website of a non-profit that supports the Rule of Law.

I can see how that bothers you, however.

My intuition tells me the same. And-- It has a pattern of reliability.

Haters with nothing left to lose, like to bring others down with them.

Just like how MediaMatters is a non-profit dedicated to "truth", right?

 

[Two Thumbs]

I've got a few places I'd like to go, uhm

shopping

should he be cleared of all charges.

 

[AmyNation]

Judical Watch is a conservative "watch dog" organization that receives large sums of money to sue the government on various issues. MediaMatters doesn't sue, and is more open with their policy of "uncovering conservative lies".

 

[TemplarKormac]

There is truth what my grandma told me as a child.

"Don't believe everything you hear or see on TV" yet I hear and see so many people doing it, all to often.

 

[Caroljo]

I responded Yes, and noticed two "No" respondants.

Interesting that the "No" respondants could not identify themselves. I'm guessing they're already so sure that they're wrong that they're embarrassed to identify themselves.

I voted no. OP should've clicked the option to show who voted what.

Oh well

If you click on the number of votes, it shows who voted for what.

Hey thanks! I didn't know that! Lol!

Where did you come up with the impression that I am "bothered" by Judicial Watch?

By the way, titling a blog "Invesitgative Reports" doesn't make it any less of a blog, nor does posting their Mission Statement.
