Peaceful protest of Trayvon Martin verdict in Los Angeles flares into violence
The New York Daily News ^ | July 16, 2013 | Phillip Caulifield

A peaceful protest of the Trayvon Martin verdict in Los Angeles unraveled into violence late Monday after a large group broke off and began smashing store windows, vandalizing cars and attacking bystanders, authorities said. More than 300 LAPD cops flooded the Crenshaw district in southwest L.A. after some 150 people splintered off from a prayer vigil in Leimert Park and blazed a trail of anarchy along nearby Crenshaw Boulevard, according to local reports.

Protesters jump on a pickup truck in Los Angeles on Monday.

Helicopter footage showed angry rioters jumping on cars, breaking storefront windows, setting fires in curbside trash cans and attacking bystanders, including two people sitting on a bus bench at Slauson Avenue. Several of the rioters stormed a Wal-Mart and a mall at the Crenshaw Baldwin Hills shopping plaza, where witnesses said the goons stole merchandise, knocked down store displays and smashed furniture, local NBC4 reported.

I get it.

A riot really isn’t a riot unless YOU say it’s a riot.

Sharpton has “peaceful protest” planned for 100 cities.

So let’s see where I stand.

I predicted riots, we have riots.

I predicted there would be “peaceful protest” planned by Sharpton Jackson and others, and we have ‘peaceful protest planned”.

I predicted there would be something, possibly an IED during these “peaceful protest” and all hell would break loose. We’ll have to wait and see if I’m right.

I’m 2 out of 3 so far. You are at 0.

BTW don’t look now but your Hillary idle fell off it’s pedestal.

Not to worry, it landed on it’s head so it’s not hurt.

I realize that the same groups who incite these riots are the same groups who cops pay union dues to. However, the cops last night were PATHETIC. And ANY injury to any car or person should be billed directly to the PD for virtually ALLOWING the mayhem to continue for two hours, unabated.

Allowing people to commandeer highways, intersections and major streets (let alone small streets) is UNACCEPTABLE. The cops were pathetic.

RE :"I predicted riots, we have riots."

I predict there will be IED’s and car bombs used during and after the riots and there will be bombings against banks and other financial institutions. These bombings will be tied to foreign terrorist working with the militants instead of just domestic terrorist like the Weather Underground, which would make them acts of war.
With an act of war, federal troops will be in the streets under the presidents control, not national guard troops under the govs. control.

.......

Especially considering that Sharpton was organizing protests even BEFORE the trial.

But he is leaving out the little part where he kept posting his same prediction that he was making in April 2012 but now transfered to 2013 Zimmerman trial:

With an act of war, federal troops will be in the streets under the presidents control, not national guard troops under the govs. control’( IMR 4350 )

So video of people jumping on cars, breaking storefront windows, attacking people, and a 300 cop response isn’t a riot.

Got it.

The police found no basis to charge Zimmerman, it was Sharpton who organized the protests demanding his prosecution by FL.

So who wouldn't know he wouldnt do it again after acquittal?

No IEDs yet.

Correct. Sharpton was paid a lot of money to do this.

If you didn’t bother to notice there was a terrorist attack planned for an airliner.

The terrorist gave the bomber the bomb and told him it was his call as to the timing of the attack.

The bomber was a govt agent. Amazing isn’t it that the Obama adm. decided to time the attack right after they orchestrated the civil unrest with Trayvon.

Pretty close to what I predicted.

Try again.

I believe that will follow the riots which have been set in place and can’t be stopped.
It’s during these so called peaceful protest that I believe there is going to be 1 or more IED set off, in one or more cities where the protest are taking place.
Of course they will be set off AFTER the so called Black leaders are a safe distance away.
The bombings will of course be blamed on “crazy ass crackers” wanting to hold the Blackman down.
That’s when all hell is going to break loose in every city in the US.

The left will for all practical purposes have their race war they have been pushing for for over 50 years.

Notice how similar his doomsday predictions were for April 2012, and then this time.

2012 : IEDs during protests leads to Obama military invasion of US, election called off I bet.

2013 (now) : IEDs during protests leads to Democats nationwide civil race war.

What you think will be the next one, Mars attacks?

By the way those doing the vandalism and looting don’t have a clue as to the Martin trial. They are in it for the loot and the excitement. Just as those who looted after MLK death. It’s all about free stuff and stealing from “The man”

Sans Zimmerman, it's just another hot Monday night for da feral yutes.

It actually works to our advantage beacause the different groups are going to turn on each other at some point. Last night they already had problems as the Occupy people want to keep it peaceful and the thugs want violence. The thugs attacked and damaged a favorite Occupy building, housing a citizen journalist operation.. and the occupy people are calling the attacks on citizens bad news.

I saw the same roll out in a Brooklyn protest, about two months ago on a USTREAM channel, with the street thugs getting angry at the OWS protesters. One group wants violent, one group wants peaceful.

I noticed that the LA police chief was really playing up the “peaceful demonstrators” almost befriending them.. and making a distinction of the unlawful kids causing mayhem.

SO- as the summer gets hotter, they are going to turn on each other, just like they did back in THE DAY when the Black Panthers got annoyed with the MLK marchers.

Same old, same old.
