May not be? The way you posted it initially made it sound like there was a riot and one person was killed. Turns out a guy was shot by the police and people who were protesting that shouted Trayvon's name.

I just reread my post. Not sure how you came to the conclusion there was a riot. It was from a twitter feed so details were sparse at first.

You posted it in a thread about post-Zimmerman riots with no details other than one person dead and a crowd forming. What conclusion would you expect people to reach?

That someone was dead and a crowd was forming I suppose.

Without the gun would he have gotten out of his truck?

Would he have been sooooooooo brave without a gun?

Well?????

He didn't go to beat him up, just observe him in case he was up to no good.

Now for a better question: Would you have given a flying fuck if Zimmerman was black? Same exact scenario, just Zimmerman is black.

Well?????

More shenanigans last night: http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/...art-in-crenshaw-area-20130715,0,2522648.story

Police estimated that 80 to 150 people were engaged in lawless activity along Crenshaw as they jumped on top of vehicles and appeared to assault bystanders.

As an aside, in the video at this link at :42 you can see a cop walking around with a camera: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...eaks-anger-wake-George-Zimmerman-verdict.html

That uses up his entire ability to do anything, plus he's only one guy. I really think the police should all be equipped with their own cameras, like on their shoulders or something. The cost wouldn't be that high and would give them footage of everything they do.

Not as brave as Trayvon, coming back and punching a man while he is pointing a 9 at you. So brave not to call the police or ask Rachel to call them.

Houston went full-retard yesterday. Protestors blocked off an entire highway for some time.

Given that it apparently "says something" about people who thought there would be riots (in retrospect it says they were right), I wonder what it says about people who not only thought there wouldn't be (despite a history of rioting over divisive trials--and this is the most racially divisive in years--and a huge amount of threatening on the web), but more importantly felt such aplomb in disregarding positive predictions as biased by racism.
