Predicting the future is against the law in New York.
But as police departments across the country enter hyper-alert status waiting for the verdict in the trial of George Zimmerman for the killing of Trayvon Martin, we do not need to worry about violating the laws of New York to get a good idea of what we are looking at if Zimmerman is found not guilty.
We already know: In the run up to indictment of Zimmerman, there were more than a dozen cases of black mob violence throughout the country.
The threats of violence numbered in the thousands. As they still do on Twitter and Facebook.
So let’s recap some of this violence and threats as the best indicator of what police are preparing for.

Starting in Gainseville, Florida, at downtown restaurant near Bo Diddley Community Plaza, just hours after a local demonstration calling for justice for Travyon.
A 50-year old felon snatched a purse. The woman’s boyfriend took off running, caught him and wrestled him to the ground.
“Police say that is when the incident turned racial,” says a local television news reporter.
A police spokeswoman picks up the narrative: “A large crowd gathered around him and started chanting ‘Trayvon,’ At least three individuals held down the male’s hands as he was trying to hold down the suspect.”
“The alleged purse snatcher is black. The Good Samaritan is white,” the reporter from GTN news reminded us.
The purse snatcher was desperate and down on his luck and had just gotten out of prison, we learned.
A bystander explained the rest: “Right now there is a lot of racial tension going on because of that. And then when you have a guy just getting out of prison and he just happens to be black, all that does is intensify the tension.”
I do not have the slightest idea what that means. But I do know how to count: If a mob of 25 people is standing around while three people from the mob beat someone up, the papers always report that the crime involved just three people.
Instead of the whole gang of them.
Let’s head over to another SEC football town, Mobile, Alabama. This one got some national attention.
Black kids playing in the street. White guy says something. Ten minutes later a mob of black people is beating the white guy into critical condition. Someone said it was a payback for Trayvon.
Local police and media issued the usual denials:
“Deputy Chief Lester Hargrove says investigators believe only four people, including Terry Rawls, were directly involved. They believe the rest of the mob just watched.”
I’m not a lawyer, though I played one on TV, kind of: I spent the better part of an hour on Court TV explaining how my reporting resulted in unearthing new evidence that got a black man released from state prison after he was unjustly convicted of trying to kill his white girl friend.
But if 20 people “just watch” a crime, doesn’t that make them accessories? And does anyone really visualize a mob of 20 people descending on a home, while several people break out of the mob and start beating someone, while the remaining people just stand there mute?
Without a word or gesture of encouragement? Is that what the police say happened? Really?
Please do not report me to your local bar association for practicing law without a license, but my guess is there are laws covering that. Whether local authorities are willing to enforce them or not.
In Chicago, two days later, two black people beat and robbed a “white boy” in revenge for Trayvon, says the Daily Mail out of London.
LiveLeak.com picks up the story:
A Black suburban Chicago teen has been charged with a hate crime after allegedly attacking a white man because he was upset about the Trayvon Martin Case.
Alton Hayes III, 18, allegedly approached a 19-year-old white male inOak Park, Ill. and said “empty your pockets, white boy,” Oak Park Patchreports. Hayes and an unidentified 15-year-old accomplice then proceeded to beat the man before running off, police told Patch.
After his arrest, Hayes reportedly told officers he was upset about the Martin case in Florida, and beat up the victim because he was white, CBS Chicago reports.
Over at the Gateway Pundit, they posted a video and lyrics of a “justice for Travyon” rap song, encouraging racial violence. The video’s down, but the lyrics are up:
Burn the house and everybody in it.
Drive around in my Chevy
All black in my hoodie
Let’s start a riot
Let’s keep it real
Those crackers don’t love us
If we don’t do sh*t
at least that cracker
6 months later they’re gonna kill another brother
Over at Twitchy.com, they report on the Tweet stream of a riot at a Georgia High School over Trayvon. Or more precisely, lots of people talking about how they are going to riot.
“FUH EVERY ONE THAT GOES TO CREEKSIDE HIGH SCHOOL:THERE WILL BE A RIOT FUH TRAYVON MARTIN AT 2:OOPM! PART 1”
langston had a riot for trayvon martin , westlake bouta have one . tri cities gonna have one on thursday …. umm creekside need to have one.
And this is just two of dozens of Tweets for this once incident.
In Toledo, a 78-year old man was beaten by a mob of black people who said they were doing it for Travyon. It was very nasty.
The next day, the police chief came out and said the story was “causing issues here that should not be here.”
Cops on the beat are heroes and warriors. But an increasing number of upper level police officials around the country are apologists for black violence and actively try to stop people from knowing what is going on. All documented in the book White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence and how the media ignore it.
Over in Norfolk, Virginia, two reporters in April 2012 were beat up by a mob of 100 black people. Some of the people involved invoked the T-word: Trayvon.
Immediate reaction: No news coverage and the police indifference.
The rest of us heard about it two weeks later when a columnist at the paper talked about the paper’s decision not to write about this attack. The Bill O’Reilly picked it up and hell broke loose.
Finally, O’Reilly’s producers tracked down the editor of the Virginian-Pilot, Dennis Finley. “The story has been blown out of proportion, and that’s not to diminish the fact that I had two reporters who got beaten. But what it amounts to is a street altercation, not a mob attack. No evidence that it was a racial attack.”
Evidence being a press release or a sign or nice speech.
Sometimes the talk does not lead to violence. Not right away, anyway.
In Meriden, Connecticut, Deandre Felton and his friends attacked a lone man at night whom they thought was defenseless. He was not. The chose the Wrong Guy. He killed Deandre.
It took two week for the police — out of respect for Deandre’s family, they said — to release the results of their investigation. Which detailed how Deandre and his friends, high on drugs, got bored and decided to beat someone up just for fun.
During that two week period, friends and ministers and activists tried to turn Deandre into the new Trayvon. Warning local offiicials of all the trouble that would ensue if they did not bring the still unidentified stranger to trial.
After the police findings came out, Deandre’s family and friends claimed the police had it backwards: The Wrong Guy attacked Deandre and the mob. Not the other way around. Just like Trayvon.
In Wilmington, Delaware, community activist Chandra Pitts tried the same thing: Invoking the name of Trayvon to try and get her son out of trouble.
The trouble began when artisan Tommy Burke was walking home and passed a party of black people at a hall rented from the Wilmington Jaycees. A mob of black people attacked Burke. Soon the police arrived and took several black people to a local YMCA to await their parents to pick them up. They were in violation of the curfew, but no one was arrested.
Soon Chandra was on the phone to the mayor (that night) and her story also appeared in Facebook pages, newspapers, and radio stations.
She told a tale of conspiracy, racism, police brutality, official deception, illegal questioning, KKK-tactics, and lots of other “horrific” and “disgusting” things.
None of which turned out to be true. But she also did her best to make everyone believe her “angel” was another Trayvon, and that people should do something.
Her son was featured in an obscenity-laced video from the back of the paddy wagon as they were taken to the YMCA. Burke identified him as being one of his assailants.
In the end, several members of the Wilmington City Council — the same ones who a few nights ago voted for a resolution “In Solidarity with Trayvon” — were upset at the whole turn of events. Not that Tommy Burke got beaten and almost robbed. (He fought back and they did not get a thing.) But that police carted off a few dozen black people for violating the curfew.
Like Meriden, all of the “New Trayvon” rhetoric came to naught. Nothing happened. But her son was never charged for the assault. Neither was anyone else.
The Indiana Black Expo — going on right now in Indianapolis — has a long and well documented history of black mob violence during this event. So much so, even the local paper had a hard time ignoring it, saying the fair was “inescapably tied to the violence.”
Nevertheless, in the run up to the indictment, the Black Expo held a seminar on what they should do about the apparent epidemic of white people killing black people for no reason.
A local black paper picks up the narrative:
“During the course of the forum, an audience member boldly asked if African-Americans should launch an armed struggle,” wrote panelist Brandon Perry in the Indianapolis Recorder. “I hope I’m wrong about this, but the “gasps” came from a few who seemed to advocate armed conflict against racists or the government.”
Meanwhile, police in Indianapolis are flooding the downtown during the Black Expo, preparing for more black mob violence. From the potential Trayvon verdict as well as the Black Expo.
In Springfield, Missouri last year, a black mob standing outside a party given by the president of a black fraternity attacked Trevor Godfrey, and almost killed him.
Several members of the football team were in attendance. No one was ever arrested. One of the suspects, identified in police reports, one had just attended a rally for Trayvon a few weeks before. Kelvin Jones would not talk to the police about his alleged role in the assault. But he did talk to the local paper about Justice For Trayvon.
He told the local paper “he experienced racism in Springfield.”
“Jones said he was in front of the house he rents near campus teaching some black female students some dance moves, when a vehicle drove by with three whites, one of whom shouted a racial slur.”
“It’s something they feel comfortable saying when they are in a vehicle and they can get away,” Jones said. “What we hope to accomplish is justice for Trayvon, No.1, and possibly the elimination of racism in America,” he said.
On his Facebook page, he proclaimed he was “Not a Fighter, But will Knock you the F**K out.”
