Hundreds of people marched in protest to the George Zimmerman verdict on Monday.
"No justice, no peace," they yelled as they walked from the Byrd Funeral Home in the 2500 block of Wheeler to the Southmore Street overpass bridge near Highway 288.
Just after 7p.m. Monday, the demonstrators spilled out onto the road and blocked traffic for about 15 minutes.
"I looked up and I see all the protesters, they're everywhere," said Georgia, who asked that her last name not be used. "So, we got into the traffic and they're stopping us and not letting us go."
Georgia was on her way to Texas Children's Hospital in the Medical Center because her 7-year-old granddaughter was having an allergic reaction to some medication.
Georgia's daughter was driving and tried to go around the demonstrators by driving on the grassy shoulder.
"One of them was hitting the windshield and I was just screaming, 'We've got to get to the hospital,' and they were screaming and chanting," she said. "All I could think of was, I got to get my granddaughter to the hospital."
"My mom rolled down the window," said Georgia's daughter. "She said, 'We're trying to get my granddaughter to the hospital,' and a guy just started hitting her."
A Local 2 camera covering the protest recorded the entire incident. On the video you could see Georgia sitting in the front seat of an SUV, she had her window down and you can see a man reach in and grab her. Georgia said she was hit.

Bingo.
If you have a gun, shoot them.
If you don’t have a gun....run them over.
Hesitate and you may die.
“If you have a gun, shoot them.
If you dont have a gun....run them over.”
Do both- you got two hands.....
An excellent response, but nowadays someone would film it, get a picture of the plate, and the police would pick you up for aggravated assault, etc.
I would have rolled up the window. So what if the SOB loses some fingers.
That video link appears to be scrubbed at the news station.
Searched and it doesn’t appear to be on youtube either.
If anybody has a different link, I’d appreciate it.
Indeed.
Reginald Denny is all the proof I need that running over a mob is the life-saving thing to do.
Yeh I was thinking the same thing. I would have floored it and a couple of “protesters” would have had tire tracks across their backs.
