While most of us on the Fire believe Z should be acquitted this is a very polarizing trial. I work with almost all black coworkers in DC in armed security. Most served in the military, have a degree or are attending college, & are upstanding citizens. All are convinced that Z is a murderer that profiled TM & killed him because of race. Some of the Internet sights carry comments from social media of black after black calling for Z to be convicted & if freed will be murdered. My coworkers all contend that there will be wide spread rioting if Z is free & especially Florida will be "On Fire". I believe these threats are real & if & when Z is ever released that he will be likely murdered.
