All Calm after Zimmerman Verdict

The media brace for and expected violence in George Zimmerman was found night guilty. 

He was and there wasn't. 

Despite having news crews out in force waiting for riots and protests, it never happened. 

The media spent the past serval days airing messages from community leaders calling for a peaceful, non-violent response to the verdict.

Some in the media felt those messages worked. But, in reality it just might be that the young people didn't really pay attention to the case. 

The fact is, kids aren't watching TV news and the media's message may have never even reached them. 

As one miami Reporter said to FTVLive "there's more media than there are protestors on the streets tonight." 

Just like many hurricanes and their coverage, the media braced for the storm and it just did not come.
