Law gives Zimmerman extra chances in legal fight (Must read!)
The Tacoma News-Tribune / The Associated Press ^ | April 14, 2012 | Curt Anderson, AP Legal Affairs Writer

George Zimmerman persuaded the police not to charge him for killing unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin, but the prosecutor has accused him of murder. Soon, armed with unparalleled legal advantages, Zimmerman will get to ask a judge to find the killing was justified, and if that doesn't work, he'll get to make the same case to a jury.

--snip--

But in another aspect peculiar to Florida, if the appeals court sides with Zimmerman, not only will he be forever immune from facing criminal charges for shooting the 17-year-old Martin - even if new evidence or witnesses surface - he could not even be sued for civil damages by Martin's family for wrongfully causing his death....

If they do riot again, I believe it will be the last riot this country will see. People will not tolerate it ever again. You can only play the guilt card so many times.

The first riot happened in Watts, Los Angeles back in 1965, which was not so coincidentally only a year after the civil rights act was passed. This was followed closely by many riots throughout American cities. The craven politicians gave blacks everything they wanted hoping to keep them quiet. They have been blackmailing us ever since—remember “No justice, no peace!”. Just what exactly does that mean anyway?

There was a long uneasy quiet which was interrupted by the LA riots of 1992 which followed the beating of Rodney King and the acquittal of the officers who beat him. There have been no riots since then, so I think that any riot at this time would be a real surprise. I think there is a weariness in the white community about being constantly blamed for everything that goes wrong in the black community. If there is another riot, this time it will not be followed by giving in to the demands of the black community. This time people will simply want to wash their hands of them. No more handouts, no more tolerating blame for all that is wrong with black society.

I hope in God that you are right, but I fear there are far too many guilt-ridden libtards who will side with the criminal element among blacks.
