Jamie Fox is calling for riots etc if GZ walks. He is about as racists as they come.
Decent folks won't riot and destroy. It is the pants on the ground hoodlums who will do it.  Jmo..the hard workers have more sense jmo again

Link?  I'm not finding anything about Jamie Foxx calling for riots.  I do see where he supports Trayvon and has been wearing a t-shirt for the past couple years supporting Trayvon but nothing about riots?

Klaas..it was on Facebook. The link is to "before it's news" and he was saying this while accepting an award from BET. He had a shirt with a picture of Trayvon Martin on it .
Sorry I don't know how to bring it over here from my ipad. I can email u he article if u want.

That's OK Cookie, I just couldn't find any reference to it anywhere.  Did you hear him say it with your own ears? 

[Tamikosmom]

Could it be that an inevitable Black backlash if GZ is acquitted ... an inevitable Black backlash that could put jurors at risk ... will be the motivating factor for jurors to take advantage of the Manslaughter option?  I am concerned that Black appeasement is going to win at the end of the day ... Black appeasement that implies GZ will not be returning to his family.

Is there a SM poll?

Zimmerman jury allowed to consider manslaughter conviction
Murder trial in closing arguments after key ruling
The Associated Press Posted: Jul 11, 2013

The jury in the George Zimmerman trial was given the option Thursday of convicting the former neighborhood watch captain on the lesser charge of manslaughter in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

Because of the judge's ruling, the six jurors now have three options when they start deliberations as early as Friday: Guilty of second-degree murder, guilty of manslaughter and not guilty.

To win a second-degree murder conviction, prosecutors must prove Zimmerman showed ill will, hatred or spite — a burden the defence has argued the state failed to meet. To get a manslaughter conviction, prosecutors must show only that Zimmerman killed without lawful justification.

If there is an acquitted ... it would not be only GZ whose life on the outside would be changed forever.  It makes sense that the Prosecution team and Jurors would be a target of the "crazies" that Defense Attorney Mark O'Mara is referring to.

Sadly ... it is my contention that justice will not prevail for GZ. The scales do not  appear to balance.  I hope I am wrong.

Defense Attorney Mark O’Mara Opens Up About Influence of Race & Politics in Zimmerman Case
Friday, July 12, 2013

In an exclusive interview with CNN’s Martin Savidge, Mark O’Mara – defense attorney for George Zimmerman – opens up and answers some difficult questions, now that the case has gone to the jury.  Below are some of the highlights.

<snipped>

Do you think that George Zimmerman, your client, if he’s acquitted, what kind of life will he have?

“Not a good one.  I think he has to live mostly in hiding, he’s got to be able to protect himself from that periphery that still believe he’s some racist murderer or acted in a bad way, and that you don’t know who they are, you don’t know if they’re down the street or you don’t know if they’re across the country.  I think that he’s probably concerned about living still in central Florida and never having a normal life.

His life will never be the same?

“Never, ever, ever be the same.”

Never, like, be able to go to work or have a regular job?

“I don’t know how he gets a job where he’s out in public without having the fear of somebody finding out where he works.”

And you think some will continue to want to hunt him, even if a jury says ‘you are not guilty.’

“Well we know there are crazies out there, I mean I know there are people who don’t listen to common sense and who act irrationally.  I can show you a couple dozen emails from people who are vicious in their hatred for George Zimmerman, and for me.  It’s absurd.  But they’re there.  So I don’t know which is the one who’s going to walk down the street the same time George does.  They know what he looks like, he doesn’t know what they look like.”

@Its_jus_Z If the jury convicts, they have to find whether GZ used a firearm. Special verdict finding can enhance charge, raise sentence.

@TheFocuus No, they have no media or internet access.

 Jeff Weiner ‏@JeffWeinerOS 2m
@Its_jus_Z Manslaughter is not a 10-20-Life charge, but firearm finding would increase max sentence from 15 years to 30 years.

Judy, I have pulled this link from Jericho777 because I had found it could not be backed up. I listened to the whole video later after I had found it and He never said these words. I have been trying to get the post pulled, but had so many other pressing needs to attend to…I am so sorry for your having read this, it is apparently a false report and one I regret posting!
