Prarie Fire Fizzles

Well, the verdict in the Zimmerman trial came down. It was not the result most in the media desired.

As I type this there seems to have been only the most sporadic vandalism, and then in locations where any excuse will foment mischief so that hardly counts.

This relative calm was despite considerable efforts by certain parties in the media and elsewhere to fan the flames of violence.

Those incitements were in vain and I feel pretty damned good about that.

UPDATE: The prosecution receives some harsh words from 'The Dersh'. WOW!

1 It's easier to puff up your chest and act violent on Twitter, at no personal cost.

2 I think part of what's going on is a realization that CCH and Open Carry are gaining ground in the country.  Puffing up your chest and threatening to kill someone could result in a lethal response.
