Zimmerman Protesters Take Over FL Gov's Office
Breitbart ^ | 7/16/13 | Lee Stranahan,

Posted on 07/16/2013 11:17:48 AM PDT by Nachum

From Lee Stranahan, Breitbart News: A coalition put together by Dream Defenders took over Florida Gov. Rick Scott's office in Tallahassee on Tuesday to demand a special legislative session that they say will address "the issues at the center of the Trayvon Martin tragedy." The coalition contends that "stand your ground vigilantism, racial profiling and a war on youth that paints us as criminals and funnels us out of schools and funnels us out of schools and into prison" is part of the culture that lead to the tragedy. Governor Scott was out of the office and not expected to return today. Dream Defenders says it plans to occupy the office as long as needed. The group has engaged in sit-ins in the past that have lasted three days.

They’re being “funneled” into prison, because some of them are thugs. Don’t use illegal drugs, rob people, or otherwise break the laws, and you won’t go to prison. It’s really as simple as that.

“Turn off the power, shut down the air conditioning and turn off the plumbing. Let them sit there as long as they’d like.

The Governor can function in a state office building until they are out and the mess is cleaned up.”

Problem is the Occupy movement can go on in filthy conditions for a long time. Best to just call in the National Guard now.

C210N: “What I want to know is who is paying these protestors to do this...”

I hadn’t thought of that, but it’s an excellent point. Aren’t most people at work right now? I guess they all have night jobs.

So youths trespass to oppose people labeling them as criminals. Brilliant.

I swear they are trying to goad us into actually doing something we will sorely regret later.

Why would we regret violently pushing back the nihilists, which is waaaaaay overdue?

Behavior like this forced a trial in the first place. Stop placating Eric Holder’s people...

Good. It's high time that politicians address the issue of black youth violence.

Actually this is the work of professional agitators. Campus radicals and Occupy types. Highly contrived. If it were sincere black outrage it would have started ten minutes after the verdict was announced.

You mean, the Black mentality that is of a Welfare-mindset, that they have a Right to everything Whitey worked to get, and the Gubmint should hand them Obamaphones, Food Stamps, no-limit EBT's, Cadillac Escalades, Free Medicaid, CASH, and all the Crack they want? THAT "center" of the problem?????And when you decide to go beat up some "white ass cracka", who now is ARMED to protect himself and he shoots your ass, that's "racist" and "un-fair targeting of Black Yewts.

How about you don't get ANY Welfare without a father in the home????

"...funnels us out of schools and into prison...

OK, I understand leaving school, and I understand going into prison. Isn't there something that happens in between, something that is entirely the fault of the individual involved? Could that missing ingredient possibly be criminal activity?

...I don’t think they’re that brave, but I could be wrong...maybe some of them are willing to take a bullet for the advancement of the cause, but I think they’re expecting non deadly retaliation, which is the best of both worlds for them...

Chickens coming home to roost. Serves the Guv, Pam Biondi and their SP Corey right. Pandering to the mob only begets more demands. Don’t negotiate with terrorists.
