Despite national media attention, threats to riot and loot made by Trayvon Martin supporters if George Zimmerman is found innocent continue to dominate Twitter.
A search of Twitter over the last 24 hours for the words “riot Zimmerman” brings up a plethora of tweets from individuals who are openly signaling their intention to stage disorder in cities across America if Zimmerman walks free.
The messages are clearly illegal under 18 USCS § 2102 which states that “to incite a riot”, or “to organize, promote, encourage, participate in, or carry on a riot”, includes, but is not limited to, urging or instigating other persons to riot, but shall not be deemed to mean the mere oral or written (1) advocacy of ideas or (2) expression of belief, not involving advocacy of any act or acts of violence or assertion of the rightness of, or the right to commit, any such act or acts.”
Not only have social media users threatened to cause chaos and unrest on American streets in response to a “not guilty” verdict, they are also advocating that George Zimmerman be murdered if he walks.

Then why did you post about it? Why get people all riled up about imagined riots and possible unrest based on people mouthing off on Twitter? Seems like you're adding to the "divide and conquer" or "distract and infuriate" mentality.
I mean, seriously, if you're sick of hearing about it, why are you adding to it?
No need to respond, I won't be checking back in.edit on 7/8/2013 by Benevolent Heretic because: (no reason given)

There's worse hate speech in the old testament which people base their entire lives off being true, then what these idiots spout off on twitter about. and I don't see governments putting twitter quotes on their buildings.
These people should be arrested and prosecuted for their words, but this is what I expect from still sick America.

Well then it's very fortunate that there's been a zillion % surge in gun purchases over the past few years.
I'm sure that things will sort themselves out if people riot.
During the 80's riots in Miami. I had a friend that was driving through town with his .357 in his left hand hanging outside his car. When the rioter with the rock went to throw said rock. He was thoroughly dissuaded from throwing said rock after seeing the hand canon pointed at him.

Because her daughter was white.
There was no bs-racism involved, so no one cared enough to make a fuss.

In my eyes, a child being murdered is a child being murdered and it shouldnt matter the race...
