Zimmerman Riots Begin: Across the country, people are being terrorized and beaten just because they are not black.

Across the country, people are being terrorized and beaten just because they are not black.  Angry mobs and protests turned violent are targeting innocent bystanders who had nothing to do with the Zimmerman case.

We all support the 1st amendment and peoples right to speak out and to protest.  But when they turn violent and target people through racial profiling, that's a hate crime.  It's worse, much much worse, than what they are protesting.

Lesson:  Be careful where you go.  Don't go alone.  Be aware of your surroundings.  Think ahead for multiple exit strategies.  Be prepared to defend yourself if necessary.

Crowds protesting the George Zimmerman verdict turned violent and seized control of a major street for three hours.  Oakland police officers that had been near the corner retreated, leaving the helpless drivers without police protection.  Occupy Oakland is now calling on demonstrators to repeat the stunt tonight, while subtly encouraging violence by mentioning smashing courthouse windows and telling people to wear all black.
