Safe Mode: On
Samford "Braces" for Trayvon Martin decision

...and so should you (remember Rodney King/L.A. Riots?)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The city of Sanford is preparing for the outcome of the
special prosecutor's decision about George Zimmerman, the neighborhood
watchman who shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin but has not been
charged.Sanford Mayor Jeff Triplett said on Thursday that the
city's emergency management team has met regularly with the U.S
Department of Justice to construct a plan. Officials said extra police
officers and fire department officials are on standby. Neighboring
agencies have also been asked to assist, if needed.
"You always prepare for the worst and hope for the best,"
Triplett said. "We're planning for the 'what-if' case scenario, and that
would be to make sure that all of our citizens get the protection they
pay their taxes for."He said previous protests have been peaceful, and he hopes that will continue.

"Those
that would like to make this a defining moment for the city of Sanford
are wrong, and we just have to make sure that we do a good job of making
sure that that's not our lasting image," Triplett said.It's not known when Angela Corey, a state attorney appointed as the special prosecutor by Gov. Rick Scott, will make a ruling.

Residents said they feel the pressure of the decision looming over the community.

"Sanford
is still a good little town," said Jimbo Carter of McRoberts Auto
Center. Carter has been working at the auto center in Sanford for 30
years and he said the outcome of the decision could hurt the town."Yeah, I'm worried if he's not charged (that) we're gonna have trouble in this town," Carter said.

But Tommy Oliver, who was born and raised in Sanford, said he isn't concerned at all.

"People march, but this a new day and age and not too much is going to happen," Oliver said.

Zimmerman, 28, hasn't been arrested or charged in the Feb. 26 shooting death of Martin, sparking outrage across the nation.

Zimmerman
claims the shooting was in self-defense after he was attacked by
Martin. Martin's parents say their son was the victim of an attack
fueled by racial profiling.-----------------------------------------------------------

  • I hope the citizens of Samford arm themselves and stock up in ammo. Hopefully they could turn a potential riot in to an opportunity to rid the world of a bunch of racists.

  • All white folk there need to go and buy a gun ASAP!
    Someone attacks you, your family, your home, or business then kill them.

    • @ZuraX You had better know the laws first, most states support "castle doctrine" but it varies state to state. In many states the criminal has to have BOTH FEET in your house before you kill them, for instance.

  • I'm afraid that, just to appease the "black community", the government of barak obama and eric holder will try to throw this guy under the bus, one f_cking way or another. I think we all know there is probably pressure being put on both the governor and the special prosecuter to find this guy guilty of SOMETHING-ANYTHING in order to avoid the much talked about, and much prepared for riots that will surely follow if zimmerman isn't hanged by the neck in the public square and his rotting More..

  • : "People march, but this a new day and age and not too much is going to happen."

    So naive. I would argue that "this day and age" is worse than when the LA riots happened.

  • I say those in gated communities should string concertina across the entrances, institute checkpoints, and man the walls. Fortunately Florida has liberal gun ownership laws for non-felons and sane people.

    If Chigago and new York rabblerousers want to come down and start trouble let them be at the front of the mob.

    I guarantee that regardless of the announcement there will be some Black on White crime that will include claims of "Justice for Trayvon" as a excuse to kill some innocent More..

  • I wish they had some idea when the decision will come down. They will charge Zimmerman even though they don't have the evidence just to keep the cannibals from rioting.

  • Trayvon is SUCH a retarded name.

    Just lay out the fried chicken and watermelon - the mob will forget about Trayvon instantly.

    Problem solved.

    Why is it that Australians have to sort this shit out for everyone? ;)
