On Monday, the Broward County Sheriff's Office released a video calling on the public not to riot in the wake of the George Zimmerman verdict, expected this week or next in Florida. The Sheriff's Office released a statement explaining that it was "working closely with the Sanford Police Department and other local law enforcement agencies" to coordinate "a response plan in anticipation of the verdict."

LOL! I'd like to see Florida's blue-hair nation riot.

Of the 18 million persons in the state 5 million are over the age of 50, and 4 million are under the age of 17.

What, are they going to throw canes, walkers, and baby rattles? Set their iPods and smartphones on fire?

:biggrin:

Face it, the majority of Floridians are more likely to be sitting in their homes / apartments grumbling amongst themselves about whatever pisses them off about this case; if they even care about it more than as a passing interest.

And the remainder are going to spark up and crank up the tunes while sitting on one of the beaches with an adult beverage.

That means half the state (9 MILLION) is between 18 and 49........what is your point with that?

We will see how funny it is........I hope you are right though.

Guess the thought of the people coming to the state to do the rioting hasn't occurred to him.  The Panther's do own cars and some can even afford plane tickets.

Guess you just do not have any optimism what-so-ever within your genetic makeup do you. Now there's a fuggin surprise.  :rolleyes:

Funny how you are focusing on persons of color in your redress postings. Profile much?

Yeah I've been noticing that too.  She probably thinks the Obamas brought their Chicago chef to the White House so he can fix them fried chicken and watermelon.  :roll eyes:

So why don't the over 1,200 militias in this nation all hop into their trucks and cars and go on down to Florida too?

Oh, I'm sorry, the Panther's are a peace loving group of blacks that are striving for peace and they would never do anything like that.  Only whites can be prejudice and riot in the streets because a black on white trial didn't turn out to their liking.  You are getting so beyond ridiculous with this racist thing it's pathetic.  The Black Panther's are black, fact.  They have said they will riot if Zimmerman is acquitted, fact.  Where is the racism in mentioning that?

The media isn't doing anyone any favors by speculating as to the possibility of riots either.

The media, imo, is to BLAME for the tensions that were created when this first happened.

But there IS indeed a history of such incidents to occur after such a trial....

I hope and pray, there will be NO violence.  I understand protests, but never, ever is violence a solution.

The defense rested its case this afternoon.  From what I read, the prosecution has requested that the jury be instructed that they can consider manslaughter if they can't convict on the second degree murder charge.

The jury should have the case by Friday afternoon.  Since they are sequestered, they will deliberate throughout the weekend.

So are those 1,200+ militias scattered about this country; comprised of male white Anarchists chomping at the bit for a reason to loose the dogs of war upon this nation.

Now show me where I said the Black Panthers were anything!? Those 1,200 militias have them outmanned and out gunned in any case.  .  .

I call them as I see them. You are indeed focusing upon people of color within your rebuttals, and then want to cry when you are called out on it.

And the defense objected immediately, saying it was murder two or nothing. . .  :rolleyes:

I bet the jury doesn't get the case until Monday; Saturday at best.

Both sides have 3 hours of jabbering to do, each, between their closing arguments and redirects; and the prosecution has a rebuttal witness in the wings and the defense will want to counter that too, watch. . .

So are you saying I can no longer mention the Black Panthers in a derogatory way or at all because they happen to be black?  That is what prompted your remark after all.
