In the likely event that George Zimmerman is acquitted, it is also likely that there will be explosions of racial violence all over this country. Even in the event of a guilty verdict, it is possible in this emotional situation that there will be violent actions by those on all sides of this tense issue, whether white or black, liberal or conservative. Sensible folks should be frightened for the fate of our nation now as the Zimmerman case dominates so much of the media.
All responsible Americans have a duty to take whatever action they can to head off this looming set of social catastrophes. The lead in this vital effort must be taken by President Obama and by Attorney General Holder in part because they have a duty to ensure domestic tranquility in all such circumstances. However, they both have a special duty in the Zimmerman-Martin matter because their actions have been instrumental in transforming an ordinary local criminal case into a looming national disaster. In the process, they transformed the public image of an ordinary, Hispanic neighborhood watch leader into that of a violent racial hoodlum. As a result, his life, and that of many of his family members, has been placed in severe danger. Yet, we are all victims of the bizarre behavior of our national leaders.
The harmful behavior of our national leaders is historic in a negative sense and thankfully rare. The actions those leaders should now take must meet the terrible challenge of the situation they have had such a heavy hand in creating.

I think I know which will prevail.
There is no leadership in this country.
You mean WHITE hispanic- they coined a whole new term for this lynching.
They don't want HISPANICs to know they were behind railroading a hispanic
There. One little UN fixes the first sentence.
“Defuse the looming racial explosion.”
Are you kidding? It’s exactly what he wants.
It might be good to get these bigots trying to lynch Zimmerman out in the sanitizing light of the sun.
Will textbooks drop Sacco and Vanzetti for Zimmerman?
Likely: I don't see this as likely at all; we don't know the backgrounds of these jurors.
Actually Zimmerman is a community organizer, just the wrong community for Obama.
Are Hispanics so uninformed that they don’t know Zimmerman is Hispanic?
There will be riots either way. Found guilty, they will riot in celebration. Found innocent, they will riot in protest.
What this author means is there will be LOOTING, under the guise of
a riot. Funny how an angry, agitated rioter transforms into a happy, satisfied
rioter when he is running from a store with a brand new, boxed HDTV.
Being convicted at trial is not the final authority.....from what I have seen of the trial he never should have been charged. I believe he will be acquitted but if he is convicted he will win on appeal....the evidence simply is not there!!!!
Why would Obama want to defuse the racial hate that is building up?
After all - he is one of the main instigators who got it started.
White haired ladies in Palm Springs will violently riot.
Yeah. Right.
Will a community organizer go the peaceful or the violence way?
I think I know which will prevail.
Absolutely. Only after blood has been shed and emotions run raw will the great Race Healer avail himself to sooth the wounds...
Only in liberal hellholes like Chicago, Detroit, NYC and maybe LA.
Otherwise, nobody cares...really.
Thugs might be surprised that people will fight back this time.
The Rodney King riots were so 1990's - only Korean store owners were on top of things back then.
Hung Jury?
They will riot because it is a weekday, or a weekend day.
I doubt we see middle class whitey rioting and looting stores because GZ is convicted.
U got that right. And I bet Korean store owners are well stocked this time, as well.
