New Black Panther Party tweets indicate that rallies and gatherings surrounding the George Zimmerman verdict are being planned, but whether violence or unrest will accompany them is unclear, the Washington Times reports.

Zimmerman faces murder charges in the killing of Trayvon Martin, 17. Closing arguments completed on Friday, the verdict is now in the hands of the jury.

While the NBPP notes on its Twitter page that it “will engage in no unlawful activity” if Zimmerman is “exonerated”…

Other tweets posted in the same time period lay out plans for “street maneuvers” and “unrest”:

And while telephone calls to the NBPP for clarification weren’t returned, the Washington Times reported, the tone of NBPP tweets regarding Zimmerman and his legal team seem clear:

The New Black Panthers have been vocal and active regarding the Martin killing from the start. But a few examples:

• The NBPP’s reported “wanted dead or alive” Zimmerman poster
• The ‘Day of Action’ in response to the killing
• The group’s “spiritual leader” ranting that Zimmerman “gotta pay”

At least one prominent member of the NBPP won’t likely take part in post-verdict public gatherings:King Samir Shabazz (a.k.a. Maruse Heath), who infamously incited a federal probe for voter intimidation after he brought a billy club to a Philadelphia polling place on Election Day 2008.

TheBlaze confirmed Friday that Shabazz—the NBPP’s national field marshal and Million Youth March 15-Year Anniversary security chief—remains in a New York City jail on a felony weapons possession charge.
