Riots Break Out Over Zimmerman Verdict
The L.A. Times does it best to spin this as “youths” who “broke away” from the “peaceful” demonstration — so you see, it’s not really the fault of Trayvon supporters:
A peaceful protest of the George Zimmerman verdict in Los Angeles turned violent Monday after youths broke away from the main demonstration in Leimert Park, stomped on cars, broke windows, set fires and attacked several people.
KCBS-TV/KCAL-TV reporter Dave Bryan and his cameraman were among those who came under assault. One of the two journalists was taken to a hospital with a possible concussion, Los Angeles Police Department Lt. Andy Neiman told The Times.
Protesters also stormed a Wal-Mart in the Crenshaw district of Los Angeles, pushing their way through as guards scrambled to close security gates. A short while later, LAPD officers wearing helmets and carrying batons swarmed the store as others marched through the parking lot.
Young vandals who entered the Wal-Mart stormed in, threw merchandise on the ground and yelled, shoppers told a Times reporter. Some tried to break open the jewelry glass displays.
Ah yes, the time-honored manner of protesting perceived injustice in the criminal system: by stealing stuff. But don’t forget attacking people of a different color: that’s always important too.
The violence also included the apparent assaulting of bystanders and the hurling of hunks of concrete at officers on Vernon Avenue, the Los Angeles Police Department said. No injuries were reported.
. . . .
A masked man struck a waiter in the head with a hammer while the worker was trying to keep the windows protected at the Flora Restaurant and Bar, which had been vandalized over the weekend during similar protests, local media reported.
The waiter was seen bleeding and was treated by paramedics, according to reporters with the San Francisco Chronicle and the Bay Area News Group, which includes the Oakland Tribune and the San Jose Mercury News.
Garbage was set on fire and fireworks were thrown at police officers, officials said, while graffiti was scrawled across buildings — one message said “REVOLT,” according to KTVU-TV — and some burned U.S. flags. Windows were shattered at a Men’s Wearhouse, a Comerica bank branch, and Youth Radio, according to police and media reports. A KPIX-TV reporter said vandals broke into the CBS affiliate’s television truck.
If we could be assured that media people who were attacked and had their property destroyed were the very ones who spread a phony narrative about Zimmerman’s actions and racism; who elided exculpatory statements in 911 calls; who filled the papers and airwaves filled with images of a younger and smaller Trayvon Martin; who suppressed the material from his Twitter account . . . if we could be assured that the people who perpetrated these assaults on the truth were the very people suffering the results of their distortions, we could write this all off as karma. If you told me that the people responsible for the NBC distortions were beaten by an angry mob, I would register my regret by downloading an mp3 of Alanis Morrissette’s “Isn’t It Ironic?” (a silly song that I despise) and blasting it out of my computer speakers while sipping a cool glass of lemon-flavored iced tea. But just as every white person is not the Hispanic George Zimmerman, not every media person is the scum at NBC News who chopped up the 911 call to smear Zimmerman.
I hope they know who is secondarily to blame, after the people who attacked them and vandalized their stuff. That would be their brethren in the media. Let them report that story.
P.S. Eric Holder is already taking sides after the verdict:
Attorney General Eric Holder on Monday called the killing of Trayvon Martin a “tragic, unnecessary shooting,” and said the Justice Department will follow “the facts and the law” as it reviews evidence to see whether federal criminal charges are warranted.
I won’t go so far as to say the jury found the shooting necessary, but it may have been — and at a minimum, the jury found that Zimmerman believed it was necessary, and that that belief was reasonable under the circumstances. I am going to assume that this is just disgusting pandering from a partisan, dishonest, race-obsessed clown who knows DoJ is never going to pursue a prosecution. But I don’t trust him, and I can’t trust DoJ while he’s running it — and just as Florida mounted a baseless, politically motivated prosecution, so too might the feds under a race hustler like Holder.
Hey, assaulted media people? While you’re looking for people to blame for your busted heads, you might consider looking at people like Holder, and Barack “Trayvon could have been my son” Obama.
It’s enraging.
Yet somehow, I am able to experience these feelings of anger over the injustice of it all without threatening violence or engaging in violence. Remarkable, isn’t it?

There are still so many people posting the same misinformation on this case…they still believe it-it being all the race-baiting lies. I read an interview with the prosecutors about how they ‘prayed’ Zimmerman would take the stand and that his story had a lot of “lies” yet not one thing they offered was proof of any lie…they said thing like “I think” “I believe” and “we feel”… Well… I feel they were a corrupted dishonest group tasked with a political prosecution and did so willingly…oh yeah… they also felt no political pressure in the case…according to them… bwahahaha Don’t worry- I won’t malign ALL prosecutors because of their actions đ

I’m so mad I’m going to do something violent. Usually, I take my coffee black, but today I’m going to protest and add some milk. That’ll show ’em.
ropelight (e74c7d) — 7/16/2013 @ 7:51 amDue in part to the media and how it either underplays or overplays certain stories, there have been for several years now similar instances of groups of youth moving into an area, including stores, to create a commotion. But with less interest in expressing a political POV, but with the pre-crafted purpose to physically abuse or steal from people. Or what’s known as “flash mobs” or “flash mobbing.” This has been occurring in a wide variety of communities throughout the country, including in areas not associated with LA-type rioting and rowdiness, such as Minneapolis or other low-key sections of the Midwest.
That also is what post-racial (or Obama’s) America looks like.

narciso (3fec35) — 7/16/2013 @ 9:12 amAnyone else get the hunch that such widespread ignorance of the facts isn’t happening by accident? That it takes a well directed and concerted effort to be so consistently “wrong” for such a long time. It makes me wonder if the old Journolistas cabal isn’t back in business.
Considering how quickly MSM twisted or manufactured evidence to portray George Zimmerman as a racist, and how long MSM’s professional fact checkers have had to get the most basic details right, that somehow, someway, apparently inexplicably, the same smear job is still being applied, vigorously and near universally, and with the same lies, omissions, and distortions.
It seems as if an almost impenetrable blanket of willful ignorance keeps the racist narrative from exploding in the face of it’s deceitful manufacturers, pushers and perpetrators.
ropelight (e74c7d) — 7/16/2013 @ 9:12 amRight, the problem is people’s perceptions, not that black people actually do commit more violent crime in virtually every country and city known to mankind.
Something tells me if that changed, perceptions would follow suit.
Former Conservative (6e026c) — 7/16/2013 @ 9:28 amThis was utterly predictable.
Geraldo and the talking heads on HLN made it a point of discussing how peaceful things were briefly before and immediately after the verdict. Both were standing by/on a split screen with protesters holding signs that said “No justice, no peace.”
KCal 9 (the LA affiliate) was spinning the “peaceful” lines whilst people were bashing in windows. Walking down an active city street and circling cars is not a peaceful protest. It is disruptive and begging for confrontation.
I’m disappointed that the LAPD is not cracking down. Instead, they are asking parents to find their children and bring them home.
ratbeach (f5aad4) — 7/16/2013 @ 9:40 amEric “My People” Holder (the reference is to his congressional testimony about the DoJ dropping the NBPP case) chose sides years ago:
http://pjmedia.com/jchristianadams/2013/07/12/whats-in-holders-wallet-his-real-race-card/
In case you’re unfamiliar with him, J. Christian Adams is a former election lawyer and a DoJ whistleblower. He exposed the fact that Holder was lying when he said career DoJ attorneys recommended ceding the NBPP case after the DoJ won. But in fact the career attorneys were overruled by political appointees. Who, by the way, consulted with the NAACP on the issue.
It needs to be said that Holder and Obama see eye to eye on blackness. Obama didn’t end up at Rev. Wright’s TUCC for no reason. A Church not dedicated to any god but the cause of blackness.
I know the left make the self-serving claim that blacks can’t be racist. That’s what makes black racism so powerful. If it can’t even be said to exist, then it can’t be talked about let alone sanctioned.
Followed by the obligatory but very true disclaimer that most blacks aren’t racist. Still it made it difficult to date black girls. There’s always one guy at the BBQ who can’t stand to see a black woman with a white man.
Steve57 (8d5173) — 7/16/2013 @ 10:16 amIt probably doesn’t need to be mentioned that when the DoJ puts out a press statement saying this:
Holder means political appointees in consultation with the NAACP will look at all angles to see how best to keep trying GZ in the press.
I doubt they can ever come up with a hate crime. But I bet the DoJ will dig up all the dirt they can on GZ and make sure it leaks. They’re good at that; just ask a “hateful anti-Muslim film maker.”
Steve57 (8d5173) — 7/16/2013 @ 10:27 amI find that no one seems to know even the basics of the case as outlined in the trial, even now. They still don’t know that it was definitively proven by the timeline and the geography that TM initiated the confrontation; they still don’t know that Rachel Jeantel said that TM was at the apartment and chose to go back; they still don’t know that TM had no injuries except to his knuckles while GZ had a broken nose and various cuts and bruises; they still don’t know that GZ started a business with a black guy and protested another black person’s beating by a white person.
It’s truly amazing that after all the information was presented, nobody who wasn’t directly watching the trial or Andrew Branca’s tweets seems to have learned anything about what happened.
Rob (1858aa) — 7/16/2013 @ 10:44 amNot just that, but standing up to the friggin’ local police force to do so.
Former Conservative (6e026c) — 7/16/2013 @ 10:47 amGiven that G.Z. was “black enough” to apply as “black to any college admin office out there today in the US–The rioters don’t know that this was just another black on black crime.
BfC (a1cf00) — 7/16/2013 @ 10:52 amWhy can’t these “protests” be more like the “peaceful” White House and Democrat leadership supported OWS protests, which were peaceful because the media deliberately avoided reported on the criminal activity taking place at the OWS protests.

I find that no one seems to know even the basics of the case as outlined in the trial, even now.
This is the fault of the press.
They still donât know that it was definitively proven by the timeline and the geography that TM initiated the confrontation;
Or at any rate proven, there’s no way George Zimmerman could have found Trayvon Martin, but there are plenty of ways Trayvon Martin could have found George Zimmerman.
Here’s a map, from April 4, 2012, although I am not sure how it stood the test of time. There haven’t been any maps published recently, I think:
http://www.wagist.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/map_1000.jpg
George Zimmerman chased after Trayvon Martin for about 18 seconds. So he went about 150 feet east from his truck, and probably finished the call there.
This map actually has George Zimmerman running past Trayvon Martin! Past the alley in which Trayvon Martin was hiding, that is.
Another interpretation: Trayvon Martin doubled back.
I don’t have the scale so I don’t know ow far east 150-200 feet is, so I don’t know where the call ended. Another interpretation is that the place marked on the map where what the mapmaker mistakenly calls a 911 call ended, is not where it ended, but rather, George Zimmerman continued walking a considerable distance further after the call was over in the general direction in which Trayvon Martin had run, till he reached Retreat View Circle.
In either case he passed where he later encountered Trayvon Martin.
George Zimmerman lost him. Rachel Jeantel even claims that Geirge Zimmerman lost him – and also says that Trayvon Martin says he was just about home and then says Trayvon Martin suddenly noticed George Zimmerman (“Oh Sh?t” “that nig?er” is here) and that GZ spoke to him harshly, and Trayvon Martin protested with the words “Get off” and the call was disconnected as she heard the headphone fall on the wet grass..
Sammy Finkelman (d22d64) — 7/16/2013 @ 2:39 pmEven this article, which tries to be fair, gets a lot wrong.
Sammy Finkelman (d22d64) — 7/16/2013 @ 2:44 pmSammy – Until you yourself pick a version of events to stick to how is it possible for you to claim somebody else has got something wrong?
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 7/16/2013 @ 2:52 pmIsn’t it amazing? America is veritably a melting pot of every race, ethnicity, and religion, yet the one group which uses the slightest pretext as an excuse to “riot & loot” are our eternally aggrieved black Americans. Rodney King? Riot and loot!…Trayvon Martin? Riot & loot!…Even a natural disaster like Katrina? What else? Riot and loot!
And then they get offended and say people are “profiling” them??? What other ethnic group in America is so predisposed to rioting and looting at the drop of a pin? What other ethnic group in America riles and incites its constituents to riot and loot for anything to do with a black person regardless of the merits of the situation?
And then they blame it all on “the Man”, “White Crackers”, “them Honkies”, “oppression”, “the system”,”hundred-year-old grievances”,”slavery” – their favorite, “broken homes”, “lack of schooling”, and on everybody else but their damn selves! And then they complain blacks are “profiled”???
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, what is it? A “victimized” American negro?
Give me a break! How about stop living in the past, stop playing the victims and blaming others for their shortcomings, stop expecting special treatment all the time, and start taking responsibility for their damn selves!

Found his actions reasonable, they did! Affirmed it they did!
One of the six jurors in the George Zimmerman trial said Monday that she was certain Zimmerman feared for his life during the confrontation with 17-year-old Trayvon Martin that ended in the teenager’s fatal shooting in February 2012.
“I have no doubt that George feared for his life in the situation he was in at the time,” the woman known as Juror B37 told CNN’s Anderson Cooper.

Elephant Stone (6a6f37) — 7/16/2013 @ 5:15 pmTherefore, there’s no reason for him to say, “Peaceful ? Doesn’t sound peaceful to me.”
“they always riot here for the dumbest reasons I donât know how to help them”
My niece was living in Hollywood during the Rodney King riots. I called her to make sure she was OK. She told me that some black guys had come in her building and told everyone that they were going to burn down the furniture store next door.If anyone wanted anything, they were to be outside at 9 o’clock.
Their reasons aren’t dumb, just criminal.
Mike K (555689) — 7/16/2013 @ 5:36 pmI’m curious, AG Eric “My People” Holder has already pronounced that GZ’s shooting of TM was unnecessary.

Steve57 (15e538) — 7/16/2013 @ 5:37 pmIt isn’t just Holder’s recent pronouncements on Zimmerman. He also stood by Sharpton and said if FL didn’t act against Zimmerman, the feds would. And he sent the CRS goons to organize anti-Zimmerman protests.
Holder has demonstrably chosen sides on several occasions. In fact I believe it’s possible to find statements from Holder that would prove he wouldn’t have reopened the federal investigation into GZ had GZ been convicted.
A civil rights violation is entirely separate from a murder or manslaughter conviction.

happyfeet (8ce051) — 7/16/2013 @ 7:51 pmFrom signage shown in news footage, the Workers Party has been well represented, daley –along with the anarchists. You can almost always count on them for being able to put together a good riot on a moment’s notice.
elissa (683e29) — 7/16/2013 @ 7:52 pmThat’s why I could never live in Washington DC. They’re everywhere. Most especially in Asian hand-job lady’s neighborhood when Congress is in recess.
There’s no place to get away from them. You see a mob of criminals coming after you on the street and you duck into a building.
Then you realize it’s the DoJ and they all have security badges to that place.

Dave think rioters need be thrown in prison for breaking things and hurting people. Appropriate response to jury decision one disagrees with, this is not.
Dave Surls (46b08c) — 7/16/2013 @ 7:59 pmsomethin just not right about that Mr. Steve
happyfeet (8ce051) — 7/16/2013 @ 7:59 pmelissa – They are just spontaneous peoples, it’s a thing with them.
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 7/16/2013 @ 8:01 pmSpontaneous wildings are no fun if there might be consequences.

Especially against drug dealers.

I know. Am working on it.
Rageaholics Anonymous. nobody wants to risk taking the last cookie at the meetings and there are a lot of people with broken teeth and stuff.
Most of the girls could kick my ass and I am thinking at least one is actively considering it. Hopefully she is working the 2nd step.
other than that I am reading the LA times and see that the word “unrest” used as a euphemism for “rioting” has been upgraded to “spontaneous aggressive outbursts”
An outburst looks something like this:
Like *boom* found myself robbing the CBS2 cameraman of his video camera at gunpoint spontaneously during the outburst. Once my friends told me there is no way to pawn that thing even if I could get the CBS@ logo off of it, my Christian upbringing told me to get straight with the Lord by having my Pastor drop it off at the station without mentioning my name.
I’m holding onto the 9MM though for protection the Zimmerman cracka zombies… and in case I need someones wallet during any outbursts on Sharpton saturday.
In the meantime Korean shopkeeper and the Syrian liquor store owners are selling 40’s like mad while simultaneously pulling bricks of ammo out of storage and cleaning the AK.
Supposed to be hot and steamy weather on Saturday too.

That’s why Eric Holder sells AK-47s to drug dealers, so they can help keep the police from starting trouble, and they pay hard cash for the guns Holder buys with taxpayer money.
And, if a few Border Patrol agents get caught in the crossfire, well, that’s their problem and anyway Holder can always get his pal in the White House, Barack Obama, to exert Executive Privilege to make sure Congressional investigators can’t get their hands on records proving the Administration’s involvement in gun running, dozens of deaths, and the blatant punishing of brave whistleblowers.
ropelight (ac0d4d) — 7/17/2013 @ 7:50 amTheyâre everywhere. Most especially in Asian hand-job ladyâs neighborhood when Congress is in recess.
LOL. Happyfeet has a way with words, and they’re catchy.
Then you realize itâs the DoJ and they all have security badges to that place
That’s one reason why although I can’t disagree with just about any of your comments regarding a character like Edward Snowden, my heart really wasn’t in it. Not in this age of a Nidal-Hasan-ized — or, more recently and in other ways, Treyvon-Martin-ized — America.

Thatâs why Eric Holder sells AK-47s to drug dealers,
He – or the FBI – didn’t sell the AK-47s or otehr guns to drug dealers.
They let them buy them.
Now maybe somebody was collectinmg a rakeoff.
Probably not Eric Holder.
Sammy Finkelman (6f9f42) — 7/21/2013 @ 1:22 pmSammy Finkelstein, you are uninformed regarding the details of Operation Fast & Furious. In one episode, an ATF informant used ATF funds to buy a firearm and then smuggle it to Mexico.
