I am curious how that "fussed at some kids playing basketball in the street" thing worked.

Probably did not justify the beating but people need to understand that "free speech" is not like some absolute entitlement to go talking loud offensively at anybody anywhere any time without there being a cause and effect sort of thing.

When the blacks get like this, they are not looking to reason with anything, so doing anything to set them off tends to bring this shit on.

It always seems to be the non-warrior types who don't really get this, and the crowds will just smell that combination of weakness and someone not being quite right then swarm in, however the community leadership also needs to answer on this when we see them one sidedly riling things up.

Anybody can look at Zimmerman and tell that he is mixed race, maybe middle class, but for rich blacks to go offering death bounties on him and then other rich and influential blacks (Jackson, Sharpton ec) building the environment for revenge against whites over that, all it does is trash their own credibility.
