(Newser) – Leaders from the NAACP and other groups led a massive crowd through the streets of Sanford, Florida, today to demand the arrest of George Zimmerman

SNIP

(From the Orlando Sentinel article Newser based their piece on):

SNIP

We want an arrest. Shot in the chest," marchers said en route to Sanford PD.

Outside police headquarters, the program began with NAACP national president Benjamin Todd Jealous introducing Brendan Mitchell, a youth leader within the organization.

"I am 17 years old. I'm a high school student. I'm a young black man," Mitchell said in a fiery speech that moved the crowd. "I could be the next Trayvon Martin."

Following a benediction comparing Trayvon's death to Jesus Christ's, local and state civil rights leaders addressed the crowd.

"We want a clean house at Sanford Police Department," said local NAACP President Turner Clayton, adding his Seminole County chapter has asked the city not to let Chief Bill Lee return.

The march began at 11 a.m. at the Crooms Academy of Information Technology with an estimated 1,000 participants, including people who have been bused in from across the country.

I'm surprised the paper included the "rent a mob" aspect of this farce

Sharpton came to the podium amid raucous cheers, saying everything is on the table with regards to escalating peaceful civil disobedience.

Rev. Al baby... be really careful here... because this isn't NYC and the state isn't run by a bunch of wet panty liberals...you cause a riot in Florida and I'm sure Rick Scott amd Pam Bondi will hold you accountable... and have your racist ass arrested

He also talked about economic sanctions against the corporations that support and fund stand-your-ground laws.

Whoa...Hold it a minute... you are going to piss off Je$$e Jackson... racial racketeering corporatism is normally his gig...

This is more like the lynch mob that murdered Jesus. They are out to crucify George Zimmerman for the sake of their false social justice and racism.

LOL. I think I saw that on a tombstone in ‘Tombstone’.

I’ve only seen that movie 200 times.

What a blasphemous analogy during the Holy Season. God will not be mocked.

Jesus bashed a Hispanic Democrat’s head into the pavement of Jerusalem?

What gospel records that?

To know that you’d have to read the bible instead of just carrying one around for a prop.

According to “Tawana Al” Sharpton, Trayvon is a “young black chile”.

The black church in America ceased to be a church years ago, and has become nothing more than an agitation society.

You are right and I just found that out recently. Bitterness and hatred are sowed while 'their power/their rights' reigns. The TOTAL opposite of Christianity. Totally opposite of what Jesus taught and how HE is.

When he all growed up he would have looked just like Obama.
Sad, isn’t it.
