Breitbart Reports on Zimmerman Verdict Riot Plan, Commenters Spew Torrents of Racism

Not hiding anything
The GOP is a Terrorist Organization
Wingnuts • Views: 37,223

The article by Ben Shapiro from Monday is here. Note the picture of Al Sharpton…as if he had anything to do with this plan…

And now to the cesspool:

I got a “riot plan”: arm yourself. Do not I repeat do not think you can depend on the “authorities” to keep you safe. If the establishment thugs and the hate-filled sub-thugs like race-hustler Sharpton insist on causing race riots and dredging up violent sentiment against whites and “white hispanics” — and if urbanites are susceptible to such suggestions from the malicious race-baiters — then you need to arm yourself. It’s very simple. It’s a matter of simple self-preservation which is your right (and which the sick ruling-class would have you reconsider — they would rather you be a dehuamized defenseless victim than an independent free-thinking person). The days of dragging working men out of their trucks and trying to beat out their brains, like they did to Mr. Denny — those days need to be a thing of the past.

[…]

Is Obama going to use a riot to declare martial law to confiscate all weapons, Why is the DOJ sending people to Sanford to organize people to RIOT?

[…]

Bammy couldn’t even do anything about guns after Sandy Hook. A nigpocalypse will set the gun grabbers back 100 years.

[…]

“REPORT: DOJ spent tax dollars to help organize, support ‘Justice for Trayvon’ protests…” The good people of the town should make citizens’ arrests. Enough!

[…]

I’ve been praying for a n’gro riot since 1992!

[…]

Love how they treat the negus like bratty children. Just shoot the rioters like the terrorist dogs they are.

[…]

Alright my white brother crazy f*cking animals……. Lets turn the tablet and riot if he is found guilty…. These black racists asswipes would have no clue how to handle it. Blood in the streets will be the only way to finish this sh!t once and for all.

[…]

that ghettopottomus that the prosecution put on the stand the first day 
pretty much backs up Zimmermans claim of self defense.

[…]

just tells me that anyone that would riot after a decision they do not agree with is one step away from being an animal that should be in a cage. Or a jail or just shot. Sick and tired of this lawlessness and nonsense. Especially for a case that should never have even been filed let alone go to trial. What a waste of money, time and effort on a joke of a case. If zimmerman was black this would have been clean as a whistle.

[…]

Better bring Tarzan in to control the natives

[…]

DOJ sending in more Justice For Treyvon agitators to stir things up.

[…]

I sure hope they don’t tear things up like all the crazy white people following the O.J. verdict.

[…]

hopefully all of those rumors about nanoprobes being added to fried chicken, Kool Aid, collard greens were true.

[…]

73 black on black shootings in Chicago this past weekend and not a single peep from Obama about how if he had a son, the victims would look like him.
Corrine Brown did not opine on the topic, Bobby Rsh did not wear another hoody on the floor of the house, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson didn’t say a word.
One HISPANIC guy shoots a black in what appears to be self defense, and all of the above start making inflammatory statements about white racism.
Blacks are now threatening to kill Zimmerman, riot, and attack whites in “revenge”.
If blacks want to know why white people are fed up with their BS claims of how “oppressed” they are and how bad the evil whitey is, now you know.

That’s all within the past couple of hours. And there are more than 5,000 comments.

I don’t know if there will be civil unrest if Zimmerman is acquitted, but it seems like some of these folks can’t wait for it to happen.

Ben’s guide to wooing a woman:

1) Squirt pheromones in her direction, then perform the mating display to assert your dominance.

2) When the female is overpowered by your shear masculine virility, insert your ovipositor in the proper receptacle.

3) Retreat immediately afterwards as the female will often devour the male after intercourse.

I can certainly see why my voicing doubt as to the trial’s results gets me sidelong looks and mutterings about my racial views.

Personally, this is one of those instances where I can’t help but shake my head. Zimmerman is the kind of guy who, outside of this case, these racists would either want dead for being of mixed race or dead for his support of black people and causes.

McDonnell’s Flood

He’s represented the administration of President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, and President Bill Clinton during his impeachment proceedings.

Now he’s one of the attorneys counseling Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, besieged by state and federal investigations into gifts he and his family have received while in office.

Probably has to do with the latest set of corruption allegations that broke earlier today regarding another $120,000 that was given to him and his wife (of which $70,000 was not reported) by a businessman who is already under FBI investigation for securites fraud.

Once A Rising GOP Star, Virginia’s Governor Hits The Skids

Just last year, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell was a hot Republican prospect, ranked among the nation’s most respected state leaders, and was touted as prime vice presidential material.

Those heady days are long gone.

After a seemingly endless series of reports about alleged ethical lapses by the buttoned-down, fiscally conservative governor, no one talks about his political promise anymore.

Instead, the rumor mill generates talk of his impending resignation, with the governor’s spokesman denying via Twitter a weekend blog report that he would step down from office.

Over the past 48 hours, the drip, drip, drip of embarrassment and drama — which already included an alleged donor-paid designer gown for the first lady, a pricey Rolex watch for the governor and $15,000 in catering for his daughter’s wedding — became a downpour.

How is it?

Zimmerman if acquitted will join the ranks of O.J. He’ll be an outcast in many ways, but eventually, his own actions will catch-up to him.

I’m not sure about the whole Rodney King outcome tho. I think that preparing for it is kinda racist in itself.

Martin’s parents have been the most level-headed participants in this debacle. I hope they file a civil suit.

Exclusive: Gov. Bob McDonnell’s financial disclosure statements, 2008-2012

MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show has obtained financial disclosure statements filed by embattled Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell for 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. The forms include the most detailed information the governor has yet disclosed about “MoBo Real Estate Partners,” which the Washington Post reports today was yet another vehicle through which cash and valuable gifts were channeled to Governor McDonnell and his family from a Virginia firm, Star Scientific, that is now under federal securities investigation.

The governor himself is also reportedly under both federal and state investigation related to his acceptance of more than $140,000 in gifts from Star Scientific and its CEO, and his compliance with state gift disclosure laws.

It’s a big “IF” they are able to. I believe that if Zimmerman walks, Florida law prohibits the family from seeking a civil case in state courts. A federal case would be possible but much more difficult to get standing for.

Guys like this say they’re all for entrepreneurship and self-made small business owners, but ain’t it funny how the only barriers to “entrepreneurship” in their opinion are regulations that their megacorps have to abide by too?

If it’s a reasonable living wage (which might let working-class people save up to start a business without starving first), affordable healthcare for the self-employed, credit subsidies for small businesses that aren’t hedge funds or McDonald’s franchisees, or controlling education costs so college grads don’t have to indenture themselves well into their thirties before even thinking about a real career path… well, if more people could get rich, it wouldn’t be so special, now would it?

US Economic Development Administration Fixes Malware Infection, Destroys Everything (Mice Included)

In what can only be described as an hysterical response to a December 2011 notification to the EDA by the Department of Homeland Security’s United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) that the EDA’s network had contracted a malware infection, the EDA disconnected its IT systems from the outside world and called in an outside security consultancy in January 30, 2012.

The consultants worked their magic and found malware on six computers which were cleaned up. But while the consultants believed the problem was fixed they were unwilling to guarantee that no other machines were infected so in May, 2012, the EDA’s CIO, Chuck Benjamin, believing that the their problems could be extremely persistent malware and or nation-state hacking, made the obvious conclusion: Destroy the desktop PCs, printers, TVs, and cameras. Oh, and the keyboards and mice.

Injuries during childbirth. Injuries during delivery are the most common cause of rectovaginal fistulas. Such injuries include tears in the perineum that extend to the bowel or an infection or tear of an episiotomy — a surgical incision to enlarge the perineum during vaginal delivery. These may happen following a long, difficult labor. Fistulas occurring from childbirth may also involve injury to your anal sphincter, the rings of muscle at the end of the rectum that help you hold in stool. mayoclinic.com

It was always really weird, since these were really rich guys, and they were there with just, like, ordinary prostitutes. They basically were construction dudes that worked their own little construction companies up from small to big and then formed a consultancy, and they were happiest among working-class guys, yet at the same time they were kind of assholes with their money, like, they’d throw a few hundred bucks at a guy as a way of ending an argument.

They threw a couple hundred at my busboy once— he was taking their glasses and one of them splashed his beer on his face. He took the money, and I 86ed them from the bar that night. I knew I couldn’t permanently 86 them, though, they spent like $1000 a week in there.

He’d come in, buy the bar a couple of rounds of drinks, then go out and get on his bike and leave. Every week. I never ‘mingled’ with him, but I also never failed to take his free drinks.

Oh, it’s really unusual. Here in Manhattan I’ve gotten to know some hedge fund dudes and stuff, and it’s hilarious what a bubble they live in, and how little they understand about economics. Basically, those kind of financial types are like engineers compared to scientists. They can apply a very limited set of economic rules well, they can figure out how best to game a system, but they don’t really understand the whole thing or innovate. In the same way, a lot of engineers deny global warming, whereas only a tiny number of scientists do.

It is a little sad how little they think about anything outside this incredibly narrow ambit. My wife’s med school friends talk about medicine too much, but at least that’s kind of interesting. These people just talk about how to game some particular set of trades or tax laws or whatever. It’s about as interesting as someone explaining their coupon-cutting strategy.

I also didn’t find out that one of my friends was very wealthy until he died, and they talked about his philanthropy, and I was like “Philanthropy with what money?” and his son told me that he was actually a millionaire, and whittled it down over the years by giving the money away to charity and to others. He’s also one of the few guys I know with non-fucked-up children: while he sent them to good schools, he told them that he wouldn’t be leaving them anything more than the house and money to keep it up. They all adored him, he really did a great job raising them.

This is the same dude who refused to sign the loyalty oath during McCarthyism at Berkeley.

So some rich guys mingle fine because you’d never know they’re rich dudes. And they tend to be cool.

re: #167 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut

Oh, it’s really unusual. Here in Manhattan I’ve gotten to know some hedge fund dudes and stuff, and it’s hilarious what a bubble they live in, and how little they understand about economics. Basically, those kind of financial types are like engineers compared to scientists. They can apply a very limited set of economic rules well, they can figure out how best to game a system, but they don’t really understand the whole thing or innovate. In the same way, a lot of engineers deny global warming, whereas only a tiny number of scientists do.

It is a little sad how little they think about anything outside this incredibly narrow ambit. My wife’s med school friends talk about medicine too much, but at least that’s kind of interesting. These people just talk about how to game some particular set of trades or tax laws or whatever. It’s about as interesting as someone explaining their coupon-cutting strategy.

One of recent books I read talked about that. Or maybe it was a podcast …

Yes, I think it was Richard Wolff on Moyers.

That the school of economics and the school of business/finance are always separate and the two just don’t live in the same world. I think is point is that separatation is an example of why the financial system can get so muddled. (The two different branches of the same tree don’t speak the same language.)

Sorry I had to run. My husband had to eat dinner early tonight and it kind of snuck up on me.

Yes, but the ease, speed and low cost of global shipping mean that for the first time producers from local farmers to steel producers can be at a severe disadvantage in that global market. Cinnamon and pepper weren’t displacing local products-they were rare and desirable and therefore traded around the world.

I’m not so sure it was all that rare. We have this idea of the “past” being some uniform barren dessert. I think there were areas that were relatively cosmopolitan for a period, then for whatever reason, went into a depression and another area became so.

We just have more uniform and reliable global trade than we did in the past.

I liked a former employers approach. “If you plug it into a work machine, it will be logged. As per your acceptance of this agreement, your continued employment will depend on you permanently surrendering to the company any such items that are logged. “

I am sure there were areas that were very cosmopolitan, but the point I am trying to make is that back in the day, if you wanted a wool jacket it could be made somewhere nearby and would involve a sheep shearer, a spinner, a weaver, and a tailor. There would be no point in having someone who lived a 2 month journey away make the same jacket for you even if the weaver would work for free because it would cost a lot to ship the thing to you.

Rab (Italian: Arbe, German: Arbey) is an island in Croatia and a town of the same name located just off the northern Croatian coast in the Adriatic Sea.
The island is 22 km (14 mi) long, has an area of 93.6 km2 (36 sq mi)[1] and 9,480 inhabitants (2001). The highest peak is Kamenjak at 408 m. The northeastern side of the island is mostly barren, karst, while the southwestern side is covered by one of the last oak forests of the Mediterranean.
Ferries connect the island of Rab with the mainland port of Jablanac and with the neighbouring islands of Krk and Pag.

As usual for Fox Question-Mark Headlines, the question mark means the answer is “no” but they just wanted to print it anyway.

The article that follows makes it more obvious that the claim is pure speculation. It looks like it originated from one of Fox’s usual untrustworthy news sources, namely rightwing Judicial Watch.
