Conservatives were absolutely convinced that a George Zimmerman acquittal would lead to race riots and spent all of last week not just predicting them but calling the country pathetic in advance, because of the future race riots they were sure would happen.
The conservative media were beating the riot drum all week. Fox News host Bill O’Reilly asked his guests if a not guilty verdict would trigger rioting. The conservative Washington Times polled its readers, and 74% said there would be riots. The self-styled National Liberty Foundation offered a how-to-survive the riots post that includes a potpourri of conspiracy theories about the Department of Justice, New Black Panther Party, and Russian troops being brought into the U.S. to put whites in FEMA camps.
Unfortunately, there was no rioting, only peaceful protests.
Not to be denied, a video of a race riot was posted on Twitter
Except it was video of the Stanley Cup riots in Vancouver BC. Canada. I'm pretty sure the majority of Canadian hockey fans are white.
The video has since been deleted, but the commentaries about blacks being animals are there to stay.
So white people who kill black teenagers shouldn’t even go to court. Because blacks are violent … even if conservatives have use video of rioting (white) hockey fans in Vancouver to prove it.
But this trial wasn’t about race. Oh no….
