Prompted by a question from a viewer, Rev. Sharpton responded on Tuesday’s PoliticsNation to those publicly wondering if violence or rioting may ensue if the jury returns a not-guilty verdict in the George Zimmerman trial.
Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree murder, saying he shot Trayvon Martin in self-defense.
“Let me be very clear,” Rev. Sharpton said, “from the beginning of this when I was called [by the Martin family] and came in just to say this should go to trial and should not be decided in a police station, this family has said ‘We believe in peace, and we believe in trying the criminal justice system,’” he said.
“I went and helped to lead and organize the first big rally in Sanford, where tens of thousands of people came,” he continued. “And from that rally all the way through the rallies and the marches subsequent, leading to this trial, not one brick has been thrown, not one window broke.”
“Justice requires that we stay non-violent and not become what we fight,” he added later.

The judge made so many errors and displayed her bias for a conviction that even if Zimmerman were to be convicted on appeal the conviction would be thrown out.Obama/Holder and their handlers want unrest, so that they can do things like they are trying with this as cover - creating rules that will allow 5,000 Afghan refugees into the country on a quick track, while they hope you're not paying attention.
Today the Judge actually swore Zimmerman in despite his attorneys objections, the Judge told Zimmerman's attorneys to remain quite and asked Zimmerman under oath why he didn't want to testify. When Zimmerman said he wished to remain silent based upon advise of his attorneys, the Judge said he had that right and told him she would give him time to think about it. Even the prosecutor admitted he had never seen a judge take over the prosecution of the case until today.
This is all a scam, GZ is innocent, but they want as much unrest/violence from this decision as their racism can get.
