TALLAHASSEE, Fla. —

Protesters angered by the acquittal of George Zimmerman in Trayvon Martin's killing are leaving the Florida Capitol after staging a 31-day protest.

The small but determined group wanted Gov. Rick Scott to call a special session to repeal the state's "stand your ground" law.

Scott refused. But House Speaker Will Weatherford agreed to hold a legislative hearing on the law.

Organizers say they are not giving up on their goals.

Actually, what probably happened is that the LIEberal assholes who were paying these stupid kids to “protest” cut off the money!

Rent-A-Mobs have to be paid, and when there is no cash, they leave the “protest!”

Probably left Flori-duh taxpayers a huge cleanup bill!

Good riddance, TWERPS!

Gov. Scott should have run their maggoty asses off the first day they were there!

A few of the staff members of dreamdefenders.org were already back in Miami BEFORE the 3 pm event today when Julian Bond made a brief comment. One of the leaders of the Dream Defenders, Phil Agnew also spoke today, but was very disorganized in his thoughts.

They ended the day chanting and dancing on the first floor of the FL Capitol building.

Link to the video of their graceful exit:

Next, they marched to the governor's mansion carrying two pre-made commercially designed signs. In short, they ended it in a way that wiped out the perceived moral superiority of their original demands.

WHY?
Their original demand was to speak to Governor Scott about a special session on SYG laws.

When the protesters first arrived at the state house I believe the Governor was out of town. When he returned to town, on the third day of their sit-in he met with them and respectfully listened to their concerns.

YET according to one of the signs they left at the Governor's mansion today, it is inferred that the Governor never met with them. THIS IS A LIE. THEY ARE LYING so they can beat the drum of perceived victim-hood louder and louder.

Here is a link to that picture.

They also had a sign for an eviction notice for the governor.

Here is a link to a picture of that sign:

After they left the state house and marched to the governor’s mansion, on camera, one of them admitted that a luxury motor-coach is waiting to drive them to a dinner. WHO PAID FOR THIS?

Here is a link to the video where this is mentioned and you can see the bus. The video is nearly nine minutes, but the bus is mentioned at about the 3-minute mark:

ONCE AGAIN, this proves they were never protesting for their original DEMANDS about justice for Trayvon. This is about building up a voting force for future elections. YOU ARE showing us that you are nothing more than useful sheeple for the Democrats.

From your actions this afternoon, you have shown us that you LIE and that your real end game is purely POLITICAL, not about school to pipeline, SYG, Trayvon’s law or anything else. NOW we see you for what you are. ...some of you are Wisconsin and DC trained political agitators for the Democrats.

Never let a crisis go to waste. This is too bad because there are a few constructive things that were accomplished here:

1) They’ve secured meetings with the heads of the Florida Department of Education and the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice to discuss “zero tolerance” school policies.

2) The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has agreed to discuss racial profiling policies, where Defenders will have the opportunity to bring experts in the field to testify before the department.

Both of these things are difficult issues and the community involvement is important. It must be understood that community involvement also includes personal responsibility and accountability to the people of your neighborhoods and schools. IT IS A TWO-WAY STREET.

If they have the money for a bus, they have money for the overtime bill. Last I heard it was around $250K.

I hope they go to Sedalia, MO and protest the Obama rodeo clown guy. After all, these SEIU rent-a-mob pukes need part time work.

“Ten protesters claiming to represent global warming interests and one Dream Defender protester...”

I don’t get it. With Trayvon gone the net carbon footprint of Florida goes DOWN. Plus, one more opening in the state for a gangsta-thug that can be filled by an illegal alien.

There’s some interesting info at that link. Like the public not being allowed in at night while “demonstrators” are. Also, State Rep. Alan Williams, chair of the Florida Legislative Black Caucus, supplied them with food and water. Assorted misbehavior.

Send them the bill.

These racists need to realize most folks do not support Black on White violence, like every Justice for Trayvon bigot does

Instead of taking away folks rights to defend themselves....these Dream Defenders need to concentrate on stopping Black Racist violence....fewer Black males will be capped
