If you read between the lines...only forty people showed up for this. I believe the nine points will discussed for a week and then get dropped by local media.
The thing here which ought to be openly discussed....how crime escalated to the point where people feel threatened...people arm themselves and carry weapons on themselves or in their vehicle....and how people view youth crime as out-of-control. If you didn’t have the robberies or threat...George Zimmerman would never have had interest in carrying a weapon around or being on the neighborhood watch.
They want Eric Holder running Florida’s justice system.
Waiting for the facts. What a novel idea.
I think Zimmerman was heading that up.

“George Zimmerman: Community meeting leads to 9-point proposal”
“The meeting was scheduled earlier this month after “The Dream Defenders,” a group made up primarily of college students, demanded the meeting while protesting on the steps of the Sanford Police Department.”
“About 40 people attended the meeting, including Martin family Attorney Natalie Jackson. Jackson said she believes in the community meeting process.”

Local Race Pimps in Action.
I recommend the following 9-point action plan:
1. Zimmerman faces his accusers in a court hearing, and has the libelous charge dismissed, and the whole incident declared a defensive shooting.
2. Civil suit against New Black Panther Party for inciting violence.
3. Institute a midnight curfew for minors.
4. Encourage every housing addition to mount a perimeter guard, and provide police training.
5. Give a speech "encouraging" (telling) the black community to marry the mothers, stay with the fathers, teach the children morality and civilization, and encourage every adult to get firearms training and a CCW.
6. Re-instate the police chief immediately. He did no wrong.
7. State that any rioting or looting will be met with lethal force, and begin training community, county, and state militias to meet that threat.
8. Make a policy of city, county, and state government not dealing with The New Black Panthers, The Nation of Islam, or Al Sharpton's National Asshole Network (or whatever he's calling it this week).
9. Zimmerman sues ABC and NBC for $100M apiece.
Yeah, I know. Dream on.
what?? i had to check twice to make sure this wasn’t satire.
ok... these are the “9 points” of brilliance that will improve the community and move towards diminishing the possibility of such a thing happening again

1.Request an investigation by the Department of Justice
2.Create a local Human Relations Commission
3.Create a Director of Community Relations Staff Position
4.Create a Community Panel to take a critical look at the Sanford Police Department
5.Create a working relationship with the Florida Commission on Human Relations
6.Create an inter-faith alliance to take a look at issues of race and ethnicity in Sanford
7.Create a youth anti-violence program
8.Set a schedule for general community meetings to address Sanford problems at a neighborhood level
9.Request that the Department of Justice Communications Department facilitate future meetings and engage in community building in Sanford

the 1st point has the fedgov coming in to run things. awesome. after that, it’s all irrelevant busy work
how about doing something to make the criminal types less likely to commit crimes in the area? which point would address that??
most non-criminals in florida do not wear sweatshirt hoodies when it’s 80-85 degrees.
they also don’t jump / attack people in the neighborhood.
they also won’t run away only to double back and attack.
what a crock of excrement. expect more crime, sanford
