Richard, a reader here at Vlad, was thoughtful enough to collect a series of links about reactions to the Zimmerman trial verdict.
These actions I believe are a rather concerning example of a move away from law and order and a move towards tribalism. We did not see, for example, these sort of events when O.J. Simpson was found not guilty after he killed two white people, and not in self defense but because he wanted to do so. They presented no actual threat to him whatsoever. There was however, after a person who’s rap sheet was so long it was not allowed to be read out loud in court at the trial of the police who arrested him as it would “prejudice the jury” at the trial over the Rodney King arrest. Even Toronto Canada had riots over this. I believe it was less than 2 years after the initial Rodney King arrest made so famous by a partial video shown on TV that he was rearrested for child prostitution charges, although I haven’t got a link for that at the moment.
Below are the list of links. If any of you would like to add more, please do so in the comments. Thank you Richard and all.

As Vlad said we are moving towards tribalism with out . stoking the fires. The big question is how far down this path are we going to travel? If civilization is to survive we can’t move very far, however given the current state of racial intolerance and religious intolerance by the left we may move very far down the path that leads to a new Dark Age.
That is suppose to read with our government stoking the fires.

It’s the beginning of a civil war in the U.S.
Great Work Richard & Eeyore.
Although here in Oz we did not follow this story as much as you in the US, but I seem to remember that Obama declared Mr. Zimmermann guilty right from the start? If that is so, HOW DID HE GET AWAY WITH THAT?
I have to confess, had I been living in the US, I too would have voted for Obama, if for nothing else but to prove to myself that I am not a racist (and he looked good): I would have been as wrong as the masses who probably had the same motivation. While Blacks in the US, Pakistani Muslims in the UK, Arab Muslims in Europe (Eurabia) are now far from being a “minority” any longer, many of us are still contaminated by XENOPHILIA (uncritical love of “the other”), and it is at our peril.
Also, as far away as I am, I read something into this affair (rightly or wrongly): I seem to remember that in the beginning the Jew-haters drooled, because they thought they had yet found another “big bad Jew” – but then, as Mr. Zimmermann turned out not to be a Jew (?) they thought: a nearly white one will do as scapegoat also.
Here are what I have found so far today.
