The hood loves to stick it to whitey, but I think deep down they understand violence above all else and that Z did what he had to do.
I tend to agree.
Despite the obligatory, face-saving bluster and posturing of the BGI - from the top players officed in the halls of power, all the way down to the street thugs - I think many have always known that this was a sham, that there was always overwhelmingly reasonable doubt, and that any system that would convict in such a case could destroy everything they cherish as well.
It would be the useful idiots doing the rioting, not the movers and shakers of the BGI and Leftist establishment. Only the useful idiots would have anything to lose on the streets, and perhaps they are not actually that idiotic.
For me, the silence speaks volumes, a hesitant pause among people from whom I did not expect it. A fight averted when an aggressor was stared down, blinks, looks down and walks away. Hopefully, I am right that something has shifted, some moment of understanding and insight for these people, a glimpse of what it means to be an American in the finest sense of what this country used to be.
