4. The entire Nation's police force is probably on high alert today.

Riot gear -check
Pepper Spray - check
Fire & Ambulance - check
Military Drones - check

I really hope GZ is charged & we find out he's already in police custody somewhere.
But realistically, I think he's going to go free on this case.
At best all they may offer to ease the blowback, is to revisit SYG & an investiagation of the Sanford PD..at a later date, of course.

it was obvious from the moment that she dropped the GJ. Zimmerman may go free, but it'll be after a trial or because he flees.

And there won't be any riots.

9. If GZ was not charged & if he is and is found not guilty there certainly will be protests

Sorry my faith in the justice system esp in Fl is quite depleted at this point.

There need to be protests to also abolish the SYG law, & hold the inept buddy system of the Sanford PD accountable for their handling of this case.

Glad he's being charged, yes, however without a guilty verdict many will & should protest such injustice.

I say 'oh baloney' to your optimism, my friend.

have a wonderful day!
