Regarding George Zimmermann...

[Archae]

Suppose he is found not guilty?

Is there going to be a riot, like the one after the Rodney King cops were found not guilty?

[Cali_Democrat]

1. No

[Archae]

2. I hope you're right.

[Enrique]

3. it depends on how good the trial is

if it's a shitty trial then yes people could get pissed.

[Kaleva]

4. My guess, and it's only a guess, is that it'll be plea bargained down to manslaughter...

and a trial may avoided all together.

[-..__...]

5. Possibly...

nowadays people riot when their sports team loses or wins.

Zimmerman could be found guilty and there could still be mayhem.

[Cali_Democrat]

6. That's probably a more likely scenario than riots if he's not guilty

The gun nuts would go berserk. Who knows what they will do.

Gun nuts, right wingers and white supremacists want to defend their rights to shoot unarmed teenagers carrying candy.

[-..__...]

7. Yeah... those damn "gun nuts"...

are always out wreaking havoc in the streets... burning buildings, looting storefronts, throwing rocks at the cops, upending cars, etc whenever something displeases them.

[Cali_Democrat]

8. They definitely wreak havoc, that's for sure

Just take a gander at the amount of gun deaths every year in the good 'ol US of A

Gun nuts...killing people.

[-..__...]

9. Hmmm... learn something new here every day

"Gun Nuts" are just as responsible for the amount of gun deaths as the Crips, Bloods, MS-13, Mexican Mafia, Mafia, Hells Angels etc.

I guess this is our gang colors?...

[Cali_Democrat]

10. Anyone that shoots another person in cold blood is a gun nut.

Yup yup.

[-..__...]

11. Let us know when you take this comedy act on the road...

I love watching stand-up stage flops

[Cali_Democrat]

12. Not as good as this kind of comedy...

BTW, you never replied to the other posters. Are you still gathering more information?

[-..__...]

16. Shrug...

that's the best you can come up with?

Try digging a little deeper.

[Cali_Democrat]

19. "that's the best you can come up with?"

Not really. How about you circulating fake photos of Trayvon Martin that originated on a white supremacist website?

20. Well... would you look at that!

Thanks for the info.

Unusual (or maybe not so unusual), that up until now, not a single person has had the courtesy of bringing this to my attention.

Practically every response is full of fail.

Ohhh, where to start (Cliff Notes edition)?

Post in question (posted @ 11:28 PM)

Reply to my question @ 11:32 PM... my response back @11:37 PM (In which I thank the person for debunking the pic).

Post deleted @ 11:41 by jury decision = no time to delete post.

Why did I post the pic?

Here... try this one that I posted one hour before my "controversial" post...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002471564

(It was an obvious FaceBook or FaceBook style picture, which is why rather than posting the pic to begin with, I asked if either Martin or Zimmerman had any known accounts)

4 responses to my question (after an hour), with no confirmation, so I posted the pic (hey... I apologize for that, but I asked a question... made no claim or belief that the pic was genuine).

Where did I find it?

A motorcycle forum. Sorry to disappoint ya'll that it wasn't via StormFront or any other neo-nazi site.

The other pics from my Photobucket account?

Well, if you dig around a bit more, you'll find that I've used/posted about 90% of them before on DU (and the reason/context), with no problem. Others were drafts or pics that others have posted here.

My "clever" username?

I've been found out!!!

Yes... it's morse code for D S (D__S, actually on DU2). Dig more and you'll discover that DS were the initials for my original DU username ("Dirty Sanchez&quot , until some drama queen griped about it.

"Usernames consisting of only punctuation should not be permitted, since it kinda makes the google not work"?

That one is pretty scary when you think about it.

What, now I'm being hunted down by one of the DU neighborhood watch captains?

It's also mind blowingly ridiculous reasoning.

I could post my real name (665,000 hits), or tAsd4mkHjnn7 (0 hits... note, no punctuation),and it would be just as effective in keeping the Internet vigilantes and Colombos at bay.


Sorry to throw a monkey wrench in peoples conspiracy theories and speculation

Maybe I should start giving more consideration to the more stressed out brain trusts posting here?

[Sheepshank]

13. Suppose he's found guilty?

Is there likely to be a riot and killing in the streets by the white supremacists that are now patroling Sanford?

[Baitball Blogger]

14. Depends on the proceedings.

If it feels like they're lawyering the evidence to get that result, then, yes, probably.

[Obamacare]

15. Why do you think Trayvon's supporters would riot

if Killerman is found not guilty? This is a suspect question on DU, to say the least.

[Life Long Dem]

17. If justice is served there will be no riots.

Justice includes finding someone not guilty of a crime if they are not guilty. The justice system works both ways. You can't be happy about a black guy like O.J. getting off and then pissed off at another guy who also gets off. That's just the way the system works and it's best to take the good with the bad. The important thing is Zimmerman will have his day in court.

[Blue_Tires]

18. If the trial is just as shady as the RK trial, perhaps...

i.e., getting the jury stacked with all-white conservatives who already think Martin got what was coming to him...Like RK, the Martin case is a tipping point of a much larger issue in black communities...
