...yet nothing happened. A little? A lot? Let's be honest. It seemed some posts had a strong tone of cheering for them to happen.

So, in your eyes, why no riots? How could this possibly be?

It was practically predicted Rome would be burning and you are going to give me two obscure links?

The new black panther party isn't very influential. Rush Limbaugh teaches that black people have a leader but that shows how dumb he is and people who follow.

The fight is going to come with the gun rights advocacy groups and politicians who take their money. Their careers are done!

You are a bit behind on the news and the day isn't over.

‘Kill pigs’: Anti-cop vandals in Oakland riot, smash windows, burn flags over Zimmerman verdict [photos,video] | Twitchy

Kicks off at 6 PM in NYC:

Some of these "protests" are going to get violent and there will be destruction and may very well turn into a race issue and people are going to get hurt. You don't think that these protests can't turn into race attacks?

Oakland wasn't a riot. I'm not talking a few drunks, I'm talking pepper-spray and beatdowns. You know, the kind of things that were implied or even said outright to be necessary for these upcoming riots on another thread.

You are trying to look for trouble and paint certain groups of people in a bad light, but the truth is that the communities that took a stand to support Trayvon as a whole have acted with a whole lot of class. Peaceful protests and candles don't hurt anyone and they are exercising their right.

Bravo for doing things the right way.

Most aren't. Most are like the one in Chicago last night peaceful and multi racial.

Let stay hopeful that these things won't turn violent.

Oakland has had plenty of riots in the past.

I was just thinking that there probably would have been more riots and looting and violence had the verdict come in a guilty. People out celebrating, things getting out of hand, some losers taking the opportunity to take advantage and help themselves.
I said before, people would just sigh and move on. Despite those who wish it were otherwise, racial tensions just aren't nearly what they were even a decade ago.
