I used to work private security in Bel Air at the time of the first Rodney King trial in Sylmar, the one that acquitted the cops ... and touched off the LA Riots.
One of the first clues we had of what was going down was when the Sylmar Judge, a Bel Air resident, came flying through the Stone Canyon Gate while we were ordered to send a car to escort him.
Our patrol unit stood by while the judge ran inside, grabbed a suitcase that was already packed, threw it in his car and took off for parts unknown at a high rate of speed. That night, things went to hell.
So if you want to know how the Zimmerman trial is going, keep an eye on the judge and watch his car... Remember, you don't have to be faster than the mob, just faster than Hizzoner...
