Temporary Sub-Forum For Riots and Civil Unrest

I know this is confusing, and I'm sorry about that, but in light of the developing civil unrest across the country, we're going to reverse a decision we made yesterday. The riots and civil unrest in the wake of the Zimmerman verdict have become much larger than simply a Zimmerman story - they're a major current event, and we need to create a venue where they can be discussed as such. But, at the same time, we don't want Current Events to become completely taken over by riot threads. So, we're creating a sub-forum in Current Events, and calling it "Post-Verdict Riots and Civil Unrest."

Any stories relating to riots, demonstrations, vigilantism, or random acts of vengeance or other violence related to the Zimmerman verdict should go here. There is no limit to the number of threads - if you see a story or have an opinion you want to present, have at it. We'll merge duplicate threads if we see them, but there will be no other limitations on the number of threads in the forum. The temporary "Zimmerman" forum will remain open indefinitely for people to discuss anything and everything else related to the issue.

Again, I'm sorry for the flip-flop, but as I said Monday, this is a rapidly changing situation and we're trying to adapt as it evolves. The riots are too big a story in and of themselves to be confined to the Zimmerman story at this point. Thank you for your patience and your understanding.

 

Yes, sir, just edited that in. Thanks!
