Florida Prepares For Possible Mass Chaos And Pandemonium Once Zimmerman Trial Reaches Its Verdict - Polidicks

[QUOTE]MIAMI (CBS4) – The Miami-Dade Police Department is partnering with local pastors in anticipation of the verdict in the George Zimmerman trial. From the pulpit of the Peaceful Zion Missionary Baptist Church, Miami-Dade Police Director JD Patterson preached peace Thursday evening. “Riots are not acceptable and riots are not expected,” Patterson said. MDPD’s motto for the outcome of the case is “Be vocal, not violent.” “We don’t have anything to give us any indication otherwise, so we expect a peaceful event as a result of the verdict,” Patterson told CBS 4′s Lauren Pastrana. In the month following the death of Trayvon Martin, South Florida students staged walk-outs. The demonstrations were public, yet peaceful rallies in support of the teen who lived here. With the trial coming to a close, some worry people may turn to rioting. One pastor stood at the meeting and told Patterson he believes Miami will be “Ground Zero” for violence and looting.

I like how my parents said he's guilty and call him a racist, meanwhile they're more racist than he is...

Patriot Act? Nope Gross overspending on security? Nope NSA Scandal including mass wiretapping and blackmail? Nope A 'innocent' man gets aquitted? Pandemonium

[QUOTE=Zenreon117;41447085]Patriot Act? Nope Gross overspending on security? Nope NSA Scandal including mass wiretapping and blackmail? Nope A 'innocent' man gets aquitted? Pandemonium[/QUOTE] America has a strange media, that's all I can say.

Your media decides when there is a riot or not.

Truly tragic that people will riot over someone who is found innocent, and was innocent from the beginning. I just hope there are just protests, and not riots.

[QUOTE=Rocko's;41447314]Truly tragic that people will riot over someone who is found innocent, and was innocent from the beginning. I just hope there are just protests, and not riots.[/QUOTE] you and me both know that won't be the case

I bet 90% of the rioters haven't paid a single bit of attention to the trial or deliberately ignore the fact that the almost all of what the prosecution had was speculation, while the defense had hard evidence proving Zimmerman innocent. This is really sad.

Man this is going to be crazy. The fact that this is one of the most controversial trials in a while and to me this all happened because no one knew what happened in the beginning

I'm pretty sure the protesters have more than a doubt in their mind of trayvon's innocence than ever before after seeing the prosecution fail to prove anything beyond a reasonable doubt or any factual evidence for that matter then again i might be underestimating stupidity

[QUOTE=Zenreon117;41447085] A 'innocent' man gets aquitted? Pandemonium[/QUOTE] The African American community is just shaming itself.

I honestly feel sorry for America when it comes to race related topics, your so entrenched by the woeful past that the slightest nudge toward it sets off a a brawl despite whatever evidence is brought forward in a general trial. I'm not going to try to understand it in it's fullest as I don't live it, but from an outsider view I can say that the obsession with colour of an individual over evidence character and integrity is tragic.

there aren't going to be riots. first of all, this is the greater orlando area, not central LA. second, this wasn't the result of police brutality on a black man. using the LA riots to predict future instances is stupid

Lots of people want a quick way to judge people without having to interact with them, and what's easier and quicker than saying "They are of a different race, they must be inferior"?

[QUOTE=Zenreon117;41447085]Patriot Act? Nope Gross overspending on security? Nope NSA Scandal including mass wiretapping and blackmail? Nope A 'innocent' man gets aquitted? Pandemonium[/QUOTE] Think about it this way: The NSA has a day off the press while the Zimmerman trial is around.

Can the media fuck off already? The only reason they are even considering 'rioting' is because of all the piss and shit rumors they've spread. By drawing conclusions and speculating that a riot will occur just confirms that they actual want a riot so people everywhere will watch the news.

Yeah, honestly there should be a law against the media publishing trials until they are already finished.

There is a verdict.

The verdict is not guilty. As if that was surprising.

So anyone try anything stupid yet?

This trial seems as big as the OJ simpson trial

All quiet on the Eastern Front, nothing so far! The video of that riot posted earlier was actually fake, which means so far so good.

My family's going on vacation to Florida on Monday. I hope nothing happens near where we're going (Naples).
