#1 I won't let you off the hook on Obama...If he is asking people to be calm and peaceful - it means he thinks there is a good chance...people will break the law.
#2 If you want to talk about sides, what about all the threats of rioting, trouble, and attacks on Zimmerman made by "your side" over twitter, facebook, etc?
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.

breaking the law does not equal race riots
you are upset that Obama is calilng for peace and calm????

Man, you really hate him
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.
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?
You people bring race into everything. Stop looking to be a victim.
Compare my thread to the previous one. People were predicting riots in every city. It has been nothing like that, not even close.

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