Game set match.
It's not even about sides, could you imagine some poor black family in LA that lived through Rodney King riots NOT bothering to get their groceries early and stay indoors?

That's not racist, it's not a "side", it's just common sense.

You deliberately ignored 2 things.

-People who thought Zimmerman was guilty of murder were threatening unlawful acts -- this justifies a prediction of it and is worse than those that predicted it.

-Obama asking for peace, assumes that he thinks the probability of things like riots are high enough to warrant asking for peace.

It is clear that I am not actually condemning Obama for thinking there could be riots and the like. I am condemning those that make condemnations selectively based on whether or not they have a D next to their name.

This seems to be what you are doing...I'll ignore those that make threats because they are on "my side" and I'll ignore those that think there could have been unrest if they are on "my side"...then I'll condemn those on the other side.

You people bring race into everything. Stop looking to be a victim.

Back at you.

Who are "you people"?

Never said I was victim, thought I was a victim, felt like a victim, hence no victim mentality.

So, in your eyes, why no riots? How could this possibly be?
How embarassed do you feel for starting this thread?

It happened in Oakland. Oakland is what is known as "singular" while the title of my thread says "riots". "Riots" is what is known as "plural". Furthermore, a riot is a riot. That's crime. So, actually, you would be wrong.

Oaklanders loves to act out. They were pretty much the most contentious of the Occupy strongholds.
