Are you sure? The Rodney King verdict caused riots in multiple cities, including Los Angeles and Atlanta. I am near enough to Atlanta that I am very concerned. This is exactly what people are worried about.

Maybe he lives in an area with few minorities?

I live at the shore in NJ. Not worried.

He's from TX, where rioters are more worried about homeowners/businessowners shooting them than anything the cops would do

I live in NH, people open carry here and concealed carry licenses are given out liberally if you dont have a mental health or criminal record. I dont have much to worry about any rioting happening here.

LOL

Wanna seem some guys riot out in the snow in temperatures below 20 especially if there is windchill.

Probably worth more than carrying your own gun. Another benefit of Minnesota.

I'm going through Oakland next week. I better practice my stance of dominance. Maybe take off the Packers jacket.

And, yet, we had rioting in Atlanta when the Rodney King thing happened.
I'm pretty sure you didn't go hang out during it. I'd suggest the same now. If they try to loot my business, I'll shoot them.


This is where the Korea town rooftop pic goes.

Hey ya'll, there will be no riot and mayhem if we follow the suggestion of this poster in the MB/Ferguson thread in P&N:

Proven? That is doubtful.

In any event, won't this whole problem go away if we just throw Wilson in jail for a couple of years? Wouldn't it be worth it to avoid the rioting and mayhem? I get the feeling that the violence will never stop until we as a nation do something to punish Wilson (regardless of whether he did anything wrong or not).
