Racist gun nuts are just itching for race riots following a Zimmerman acquittal

I've seen it in the comments section of many online articles. First, they just assume that there will be nationwide racial rioting if Zimmerman is found not guilty. But then they go further, seeming to relish in the possibility. It's as if they just can't wait to shoot black people.

In other words, this trial is bringing out a whole bunch of Zimmermans. Absolutely disgusting.

the comments by Zimmerman apologists are mind-blogging...when did they loose their reasoning powers?

Maybe a little bit of property destruction here and there, but that's it. If there are people in the streets over this, it will be peaceful marches, a la Jena 6/Oscar Grant etc.

They've been hoping for this 'racial holy war' for years.

Wonder if they realize how disturbed such an alignment would be -- even to them, if they would but recognize it.
