SANFORD, Fla. —

The cries for justice in the case of slain teen Trayvon Martin was killed continue on Friday. The NAACP has planned another march for Trayvon through part of Sanford on Saturday, and some downtown business owners said they are furious.

They told WFTV the rally could scare shoppers away on their busiest day of the week.

The rally will start at a school and will end at police headquarters, which are blocks away from downtown Sanford.

Christine Johns was happy to see her first customer of the day, but it was hours after she opened her antique shop on South Park Street in downtown Sanford.

She said rallies and marches over the death of Martin have slowed her business drastically.

Johns said she's worried that Saturday's rally is going to make matters worse.

“Supporters” of Trayvon will show up with hoodies. Supporters of Zimmerman should show up with KelTec 9MMs.

If I had a business there, I’d bring my shotgun, as well as my pistol.

Sharpton’s outdated racebaiting shtick is not going to end well, for Sharpton.

Bussing in out of state “activists” wont work out well for him, or his sympathisers here in central Florida.
Even his OWS counterparts ran into problems with their shtick.
Right to work state, unique mix of age/race/origin demographics, and Florida still trends majority conservative/independent as opposed to liberal.

What involvement in the death of Trayvon Martin does he ascribe to the business owners in the city of Sanford?

“According to reports, Sharpton plans to call for civil disobedience and economic sanctions against Sanford businesses if Martin’s killer, George Zimmeramn is not arrested.”

It's merely the "liberal" way - when the cause suffers, even the innocent are fair game and they will be held hostage and/or destroyed in the name of the "cause". Those who say they "feel our pain" have no compunction against causing pain or worse.
