The supposed bounty on Zimmerman's head was from 16 months ago.
No one with a half a brain believed that the New Black Panthers could actually pay up the $10,000 they promised, much less believed that the New Black Panthers could solicit $1 million towards an increased bounty from the high-profile wealthy. An opportunity to get imprisoned for conspiring in a publicly advertised murder-for-hire scheme isn't something that celebrities and influential money-makers are gonna jump at. IMO.
If the New Black Panthers had really possessed the means and motive to have George Zimmerman taken out prior to his arrest, a professional hit man could have been hired for less. That video and its message were cheap inflammatory publicity stunts that didn't fool many.
Now, it's primarily a group of conservative morons and those who believe their bullshit that are trolling the uninformed and race-baiting with the old video; falsely proclaiming it to be a reaction to the verdict and trying to incite/prolong cries against the (perceived) persecution of George Zimmerman - their cause.
And, while there have been some protestors that acted like vandals and dip shits, there have been no violent riots across the land. Just US citizens exercising their first amendment rights to freedom of speech, expression and peaceful public assembly.
The George Zimmerman verdict is not a catalyst for Apocalypse, now or ever. No matter how badly some seem to wanna make it so. Helter Skelter's gonna have to wait.
IMO.
