Unless they ask RCMP for help to confiscate all knives

People didn't riot when OJ got his not-guilty verdict

[deanmc]

are you suggesting white folk aren't as prone to riot.....like the blacks did when he was found responsible for those deaths by a white jury and riots broke out?

Doubt it, don't think he has deep pockets to justify the expense.

He has no money neither do the Martins . I understand that they could put a case forward to keep Zimmerman broke. If a lawer wanted to do it pro bono.

True, but it's a way to take his book money etc that sure to be coming.

I'm glad media failed to persecute this man.

I made no mention of race, but I do think that those in economically depressed areas will riot more because they don't have the options of protest that more affluent people have. Color or religion have nothing to do with it. Then again the rioters in Vancouver were from all walks of life, there were probably more 'advantaged' people creating havoc than there were poor folk. Besides, Zimmerman sure looks Hispanic to me, so what have caucasians have to do with anything in the Zimmerman case? Naturally tanned shooter, even more tanned deceased. Can't whitey take a pass as the 'bigoted' guilty party in this one?

Good to see so many of you were distracted by this when there's so much more going on in the world.

Multiple nations have had their governments overthrown by mass demonstration and coups that are not coups during this trial. Many more nations are still experiencing mass protests and unrest.

The whole Trans Atlantic trade negotiations that are going on, which would have a similar effect as the wonderful NAFTA agreements

Not to mention the Bradly Manning court marshal, or the Eric Snowden affair which is by all accounts the most damaging leak of classified information against the US establishment to date.

I could go on, but a man killing a boy claiming self defense with the whole black in America media spin is more important. Not to make light of being black in the US, but really this whole Zimmerman thing is something for the people of Florida to work out with their legislature. Up here in Canada, winter is coming.

Yes I agree....exposing the fact that the US government has morphed into something out of George Orwell's 1984 could be "damaging".

I think they did persecute him, causing this trial in the first place.

Fair enough but I'm saying atleast he was acquitted

The fundamental danger of an acquittal is not race riots, it's more George Zimmermans. - Jay Smooth. Quote from twitter.

That about sums up my feelings on this.

Au contraire. There are many of us that can watch all of the above with barely a sideways glace at the Zimmerman trial, and still keep fairly good track of what's happening.

Touché.

[rwm1273]

I suspect there will be some riots, some random violence, and Zimmerman and his family will most likely be targets for a very long time.

I have nothing nice to say about either Zimmerman or Martin.

What I saw from this is a need to better control who can carry a weapon. Zimmerman was a wannabe cop, and despite his best intentions, he killed someone who was not guilty of doing anything at that time, other then going home. He should have waited for the police like the 911 operator told him.

Martin was a druggy and a petty thief, contrary to what his family and his supporters had to say about him. He was typical of what happens to poor black youths.

His father was a white German.

This^... but could you please change your location from "deadmonton" to anywhere else? If you don't like it here you can leave.
There are more things to do here than a lot of other places in Canada but no one can force you to participate.

I will not change my location. You most likely don't even know why I call it that do you? It has nothing to do with lack of things to do there.

[leeaspell]

I was expecting a guilty verdict because of race, regardless of what was being said about race not being a factor. I guess I was wrong, with that said, I didn't want to see a guilty verdict.

I might get flamed or even banned for this, but good riddance, one less druggy petty thieve on the streets is fine by me. You know those crack heads stealing your truck, and breaking in to your house in the middle of the night, they started off as druggy petty thieves too

No flames from me, I totally agree.

Its because you find Edmonton "dead" compared to other places.

[Wild&Free]

Edmonton was murder capital of Canada the year rmw registered would be my guess.

No, but good guess. Actually Edmonton does have lots of things to do, and is known as "festival city" because it does have a large number of festivals.

Not just the year I registered, but this is a very good answer.
