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.

"Bring it, caucus thugs. You are not better than OUR Constitution."

Of course they are better.

Why do you think the republicans are so scared of the Article II presidential eligibility issue?

I’m sure the last few adults at the DNC are happy as hell to hear these blowhards promise to start yet another terrorist campaign. If Scott Walker’s election was a blowout using the unions as a punching bag Mitt could clobber the Kenyan if blacks want to be the issue. I’m pretty sure gooberment union hacks are more popular than Obama’s left wing terrorist “sons.”

After they get through burning their own neighborhoods, they can come to Texas.

If I were the defense, I’d show the video of Trayvon’s purchase (on the site you posted). Did you see his body movements? He looks like he’s barely managing to stand. Like he’s drunk *or something*...

Betcha he’s already high.

The black mob bosses have announced what they intend to do if they don’t get the outcome they desire.

Mobocracy.
It HAS been foretold after all...

"I know that his mother and his father have asked for peace, peaceful solutions, not repaying evil for evil..."

So is that why his mother lied on her affidavit for the prosecution, and travels the country stirring up racial tension while she has her hand out???

So....it would be “politically incorrect” if Zimmerman is found not guilty? Meaning, to the CBC (who in my estimation is the CRC) Zimmerman is guilty regardless of whatever exculpatory findings that may be brought before the jury.

Hey CBC! Exactly what kind of rioting? If you plan on attacking whites and white Hispanics in their homes or daily life then you'll simply be shot in self-defense. Or do you mean you all will destroy the shops of small business owners?

Real frikin’ classy jackwagons! How about you all turn that “energy” into working toward math and science degrees and get off the white man's liberal welfare plantation! Seems you still enjoy having the white man feed, cloth, and shelter you all. And that is different from slavery, how?

Get a clue jackasses! The liberals are at a rabid pace getting well funded Planned Parenthood clinics into your neighborhoods to keep your numbers low. It ain't Conservatives doing it you clueless dolts!

"I had never heard of “lean” before yesterday, but apparently it is a concoction made from certain prescription cough syrups and a beverage medium, often made more palatable with candy.

One of the recipes for “lean” calls for using Arizona Iced Tea Co.watermelon fruit juice cocktail as the beverage of choice, and Skittles candy… the items found on Trayvon Martin’s body the night he was shot by George Zimmerman."

Usually they riot, pillage, burn, etc. their own ‘hoods first. Then, like you said, mel, “How are the race bastards going to take an armed population hostage?”

So 14% od rhw population is going to go craxy and attack the other 86%?

Let’s see how that works out for them. This ain’t LA and this ain’t NYC. They will be surprised by the outcome.
