I googled it and could find nothing, not even in US news.

Where is the violence? Where is the looting? Where are the Federal troops to take us all to FEMA detention camps as predicted by Alex Jones?

After the acquittal: Protests

(CNN) -- Just how much George Zimmerman's murder trial polarized America was on full display once the verdict was read.

Across the country Sunday and early Monday, outraged protesters poured on to streets while supporters kept largely quiet. Protesters denounced the six-woman jury's decision Saturday to find Zimmerman not guilty in the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

While the vast majority of protests were peaceful, parts of Los Angeles grew tense.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson called for protests to continue, but to remain peaceful.

"There will be protests, but they must be carried out with dignity and discipline," he told CNN's "New Day."

"What will happen if there, in fact, are riots, it gives sympathy to Zimmerman, and discredits Trayvon. Trayvon deserves sympathy. Zimmerman and his school of thought does not."

After a jury acquitted George Zimmerman in the shooting death of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin on Saturday evening, reaction from political figures and interest groups poured in on Sunday, with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) pushing for the Department of Justice to open a federal civil rights probe to examine the racial undertones of the incident, and political figures on both sides of the aisle offering their two cents on a case that has captured the nation's attention.

Democrats have called the outcome a miscarriage of justice. President Obama issued a statement on Sunday calling the case a "tragedy."

"I know this case has elicited strong passions. And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher," he said. "But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken. I now ask every American to respect the call for calm reflection from two parents who lost their young son."

Despite the president's call for calm, Republicans have accused him of politicizing the incident, pointing to the president's declaration in March 2012 that, "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon."

"It was about race from the very beginning," said Georgetown University's Michael Eric Dyson on "Face the Nation." "It was a racial motivation of, it appears, of George Zimmerman when he said, 'These people get away. They always get away.'"

"We don't have to be Einstein to deduce from that particular-- you know, assertion of his that...he got a fear of and suspicion of African American youth," he added.
