let's bring in mya wylie. mya, i'm glad you're here, there's something i want to talk about with you. this idea that's sort of come up over the last couple of days if there's an acquittal that many people are starting to predict will come that black folks are going to riot, right? what an insulting idea that we are so inherently violent that if we don't get the verdict that some of us want in this trial that we're going to start looting and ripping up the country. what do you make of that? >> well, certainly i make that -- we've had a history in some high-profile cases where there have been riots after an acquittal. of course, everyone will think of the rodney king beating in which the police officers were acquitted and, of course, we saw riots in los angeles. we saw riots in overton outside of miami, in miami, black community after an acquittal after someone was killed. cincinnati in 2001. it's not that we don't have examples of having that happen, i think the question is what are the underlying circumstances

in fact, the three panelist, morris eugene robinson and mya are very far left people who believe americas essentially an unjust country. so the hearing was a farce. a waste of taxpayer money and a way to stick it to the u.s.a. again. the problem with this kind of propaganda is that many people believe it especially overseas where they don't understand what the race hustle is all about. a congressional hearing carries some weight. and folks not familiar with the players can take away a wrong impression. that's why the fallout from the zimmerman verdict is so damaging. the world is forming an impression of america by listening to stuff like this: >> i think this is for many americans, george, just another piece of evident of the incontrovertible contempt that this nation often shows and displays for black men. >> they are already suspicious of you because you are walking while black which apparent solid a crime in this country. >> i think it's possible for the police, they have got a black zimmerman, the question would be whether they would have beat him to death and then threw handcuffs o

how names like trayvon martin and oscar grant can become words for the killing of young black men, myabutor to the news desk blog, i recommend you read what he writes because he's a phenomenal writer. so reliving through the oscar grant case is pretty heady as we sit here right now with six jurors, in florida, deciding the fate of this case. and there's been a lot of the subtext, i think, as we look toward this case, what will happen if there's a not guilty? i mean, that's the elephant in the room, right? in fact, on fox, it's not the elephant in the room, it's the elephant that they're talking about. here's bill o'reilly basically sounding the alarm, warning of the unrest that will result from a not guilty verdict. take a listen. >> if the prosecution did present a weak case, and that, again, is the consensus of the media following it, even the liberal media, and he does get acquitted, mary, are you expecting people to run out and cause trouble? we agree there's a possibility for damage to be done to the fabric of the nation if fis verdi this verdict comes in as an acquittal. >> what

president growing up within mya is not experience. i do not know what the answer to that question is, how we get a hold of it. i am more comfortable dealing with your question about should there be some sort of an institution am accustomed or -- institutional amicus or opponent. my answer is yes but i do not know how it would work for you i was not kidding when i suggested that perhaps some tweaking of the statute, mightshing the pclob make it to that institution. you are not going to ask for that. i do not know who it would be. there is within the defense department a group of people who are dedicated to the defense of detainees at guantanamo. are defense lawyers, defending detainees that are being prosecuted by the other part of the defense department. there is some precedent for it. whether there would be some institutional office, at first to the office that brings these applications to fisa or not, i do not know. but it is conceivable. on youring to pass question about the big constitutionality. i do not think that the pfizer cou
