[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 1163295, member: 22662"] Anything is possible, but I really don't see violence a.real threat in the event of a not guilty verdict. Why is that the concern though? Race was an issue because a self described white man shot and killed a young black teen and was released in hours. Right or wrong, few people believe that would have happened if a black man had shot and killed a white teen on a dark night during an altercation. With a prosecution and jury verdict, the potential for violent backlash is muted. Black Americans are familiar with disagreeable verdicts. Now, call me paranoid. What does a not guilty verdict say to legions of white vigilantes who see a young black or Hispanic with a hoodie on? Where is the line of self defense or is it open season on "those people"? Those single parent savages, those menaces to society. Is this a fear just as valid as race riots? [/QUOTE]
