Race riots could ensue if George Zimmerman -- the shooter in the Trayvon Martin case -- is found not guilty of second-degree murder by a Florida jury, the Congressional Black Caucus' executive director allowed yesterday.
"I think a 'not guilty' verdict is extremely problematic in 2012," said Angela Rye, the Executive Director and General Counsel for the Congressional Black Caucus. She said, "I don't know," when asked what would happen in the event of an acquittal. "I know that folks have talked about race riots -- I don't know that. I think that we live in a day and age where people are educated enough not to do that. I know that his mother and his father have asked for peace, peaceful solutions, not repaying evil for evil, so I'm not sure. I think it would set us back . . . there's no value to racial violence or any other kind of violence."
Rye cited the media handling of the Trayvon Martin shooting as an example of racial bias. "To demonize a victim is always heavily criticized if it's a white woman, if it's a child -- but in this situation, this boy who was not alive anymore to tell his side of the story was quickly demonized, and that's where I take issue," she said.

Allow me to throw some kerosene on the fire. With gold hovering around $1600 an ounce, where does an “at risk youth” acquire the funds to rearrange his dental bite with gold appliques?? All America wants to know. sd

“...seems almost inevitable, but the rioters may overplay their hand this time (much to the detriment to everyone in this country). If we’re seeing dozens of major cities on fire in USA and seeing innocent people beaten left and right, race relations will never be the same....”
Many Americans have been quietly preparing for it for a long time now. The government knows it coming too...thus the push toward the police state. Only problem is: There are millions of us that want peace and security and are willing to fight and die to get it and maintain it. Guns, ammo, etc. sales have been thru the roof for several years now. We all know it’s coming. The bullying has got to stop because once this starts, there will be no stopping it. IMHO, They have NO IDEA of what they’re up against once it starts. There will be no “putting the genie back in the bottle”.
Typical Demonrats..
Aleays wanting to cull the herd.
It would be a celebration riot, not an anger riot. Effectively, there's no difference between the two.
So, is that Zimmerman’s fault? Better to put him away when innocent then to have a bunch of hothead kids riot?
Lynch Mob Al.
“Better go pick up another case of ammo.”
I just took delivery Friday of another 5,000 .50cal (Beowulf) and 1,500 .50cal BMG (Barrett), making it a comfy 355,000 rounds for my 8 calibers (several choice Class IIIs). I’m ready for this BS and SHTF.
Hey thanks for the warning. Better go pick up another case of ammo.
Maybe the Congressional White Caucus will announce this.
I can tell you this: there will NOT be a "guilty" verdict in 2012.
Zim's attorney has already telegraphed there won't be a trial until 2013.
So she is wrong and uninformed. What a shock.
Which is exactly what that gaggle of animal waste wants to happen...
Don’t know, but if the riots do start might be able to hoard away some quick gold along with my other silver and gold.
Just saying.
Riot? Ha, Ha. Let them destroy their own neighborhoods. If they riot in my neighborhood, they will never leave it.
“And frankly, not much would be done to stop them so we’d all best be prepared to protect ourselves.”
Let’s see...
...the FBI estimates there are over 200 million firearms and somewhere on the order of 20 billion rounds of ammunition in private hands as of 2012.
You are right, time to stock up some more...
She should be arrested for making a threat like that -----
They don’t need no stinkin trials, just let politicians decide who to hang. And on racial grounds, no less. Brilliant. /s
Trayvon sure looks taller than 5’11” in that picture —
You know it’s lunacy when they say white crime victims are not “demonized”. A multitude of NYT’s stories are about a “poor” black guy convicted by an “all white jury” for killing the “richest white man in town”.
