When a verdict is reached a Zimmerman verdict

How will Florida react? Im getting the feeling, there will be sadness at a not guilty verdict, but no
big problems, I think people will handle a wrong decision with dignity.

Fix news has been going all out today, basically screaming "not guilty" Their few african american
hosts must feel sick to their stomach.

But I imagine that the police have kept them adequately separated. Cheering on one side, angry shouts from the other. It'll make great tabloid TV, but I doubt anything else will come from it.

The rest of the country? Who knows? The only thing we have to suggest that there will be rioting and mass civil disobedience is the trial of the police in the Rodney King beating. However, in that case, all of America saw the video of King having the shit beat out of him by cops who were theoretically trained to subdue him without excessive violence. No one outside of John Good saw any portion of the final struggle between TM and GZ, and they may well respect that a jury had to make a decision with what little physical evidence there was.
