That is interesting. I remember Los Angeles in 1995, after Rodney King trial, and then, the whole OJ trial, I was sure there would be riots if OJ was found guilty. Everyone felt the tension. I am sure that is part of the reason for OJ's acquittal.
So, Liberty City and Overtown are going to be watching this trial? Miami is due for a riot...just a matter of time.
Truthfully, I don't think that it will be that serious. The Rodney King thing happened because it was a build up of police brutiality cases that have been going on for some time and now you have the whole thing on film and they still get off, well what did you expect? The O.J thing was a different matter, because the black community as a whole was not invested in him (could care less) so if he would have been found guilty nothing would have happened anyway. A freind of mind that was close to the streets say that they knew O.J did not do it, but they realize that he knew who did and was more afraid of them then the legal system.
I don't expect riots either. Zimmerman not being charged only resulted in minor protests. Once charges were pressed this story simmered down substantially.

Well remember we have black neighborhoods everywhere, not just those two, we have Miami Gardens, South Miami, florida City, Naranja...
Some of my friends were living close to The Ghoulds and during that weekend when there were Trayvon protests, some young men were already acting disorderly by attacking incoming cars.
They should take their riots to Seminole county where the murder took place and leave Miami alone.

That is all the family wanted in the first place. I blamed the police dept more than I blame zim, because had they done their job correctly and did a proper investigation while holding zim over this media circus whould not have happened.
Today, HLN aired a bit more of the 911 tape. I have a feeling a few opinions are going to change once everyone hears the full 911 call rather than the clips that were aired previously. They're very interesting.

Just the fact that he had been pursuing Martin longer than people realize should sway some opinions.
I'm shocked about the judge ruling...I don't think it is showing that the court wants him to get a fair trial.
If a victim or the person on trial has illegal or any medication in their system that should be disclosed for both sides.
I think riots will break out in certain areas and further that people will get more divided after this trial.
Btw it is not black versus white...it is black versus Hispanic if people want to bring race into this trial...I rather go by two people and show what both were about and right now we know what Trevon was doing aside from the pictures the parents and his lawyer wants us to see...
That is the real point of the whole matter, if you have a lying gun carrying vigilante going after people who he thinks did something there is a major probelm, especially when the police attempt to cover it up
