CBC (Congressional Black Caucus): Zimmerman acquittal could spark race riots
Beltway Confidential ^ | June 11, 2012 | Joel Gehrke

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.

The govt. will never use live ammo on a large scale to stop riots hell they won’t use it for stopping small scale armed mobs. Do your own research on pepper spray & tear gas & protective equipment you will be on your own so make plans accordingly.

Chief Justice Roberts was scared crap-less of the issue today. The SCOTUS refused to hear (without further comment) a case challenging the authenticity of obamao’s long form forgery.

I hope the CBC realizes that "race riots" (no 'racism' there, eh?) perpetrated by their constituency could result in a precipitous decline of that population to true minority status -- a population level from which no level of "fornicating baby daddy" promiscuity could ever recover it...

Not advocating anything; just calculation based on the relative levels of armament, discipline, and training involved...

I see that the word ‘cool’ has now been added to the ever growing list of racist, dog whistle code words.

So, we have actual congressmen threatening riots over one drug addled teenager when the trial hasn't even begun.

Classy.

-- With gold hovering around $1600 an ounce, where does an "at risk youth" acquire the funds to rearrange his dental bite with gold appliques? --

Less than ten bucks, probably.

THOUSANDS of people were injured and 53 killed 20 years ago in the LA riots over Rodney King. Today’s inner city population are much more vile in their hatred, violence and sense of entitlement than those from 20 years ago.

And if the school-yard bully demands your lunch money, you feel the best way to 'tame' the bully is to give him your money? You don't think that would - say... you know ... encourage the guy to higher levels of shake-down violence?

Here's my thought - if blacks riot, arrest them. Give them a trial. When found guilty, put them in prison.

White guilt is hanging by a thread - so is faith in the criminal justice system.

The only thing keeping these threads from breaking is liberal elite fear - and the pressure put on the MSM to keep the black victim message front and center. But the MSM is also hanging by a thread.

The American people are losing faith...

So rioting will bring changes... most likely ones black people won't like. Well, responsible blacks will like them - but the Jesse's, Sham-ton's and race baiters will be out..

Holder will sue the States to prevent them from using the National Guard. King Obama will reign. The Racists have already destroyed their own cities. What more could they do? Attack the amish?

There are quite a few issues involved. One is part of a future attack by political regulators against the Second Amendment. Another is affirmative action.

Special interest groups are all over both political parties.

Um, A bit of reality before the shooting starts, if I may...

Okay, so everyone's packing heat. One side riots, the other side starts shooting, the other shoots back, and here we go...

...It'll be "Pipe full of fun kit #7" for the government/media complex(A Warner Bros. cartoon for you younger folk - look it up)

I can assure you that long before the 88% vanquishes the 12%, reality says that 88% might be at best 4 - 10% in the beginning. C'mon - look at how many idiot white people elected this fool, and think about how many more are going to sit on their ass-ets waiting for hope and direction from their favorite talk show host. Our heroes in the media will of course fan the flames between popcorn commercials, begging for the Pennsylvania Avenue Sodomite to do something. The looters and shooters will be victims, and those defending themselves, their families and the Constitution will be, well... that's why they have terrorist kill lists, and the domestic drones the find them.

Who needs elections anyway - especially when you keep losing?

So, fellow Real Americans: We can beat our chest all we want, and make all the ultimatums in the world, and the court jesters won't care - they'll just keep selling popcorn...

...unless the ultimatums and resolve of Real America is directed less at the expendable 12% (hey black folks - they're importing your minority replacements already), and more directly at the court jesters and popcorn sellers of the realm, who can't wait to fan the flames for 30 pieces of silver . Perhaps it should be made clear that blowback from that fire can burn in places they didn't see coming. After all, Daffy Duck had it coming.

...and if I have to explain it, you wouldn't understand it anyway - I'm out.

Thanks, but I found a link already.

When the history books are written, you will find Roberts under the search term, "feckless coward"...
