Men acting as security for the Trayvon Martin rally in Miami, Florida today accosted Miami Herald reporter David Smiley and confiscated his notebook.

The incident took place as Martin's father Tracy was leaving the rally and entered a vehicle. The security accused the reporter of writing down the license plate of the vehicle.

Smiley reported the incident on Twitter along with photographs:

Fellow Herald report Marc Caputo described the picture:

For the record, the Herald reporter is white.

An irate Caputo posted several more tweets about the incident.

Profiling white reporter, bodyguards for Trayvon's dad, Tracy Martin, snatch @NewsbySmiley's notebook, accuse him of writing down car tag #

They were big and intimidating people. He's one reporter. he got it back.

Hey. @NewsbySmiley was doing his job, had his property temporarily stolen, his ID examined. Want unity? Don't act like bullies

To be clear: heavies who profiled @NewsbySmiley, wrongly wrested his notebook were affiliated w/Rev. Bishop Curry (were guarding Mr. Martin)At that moment, yes. Scrum of people, @NewsbySmiley only one singled out though others were taking pictures, mobbing Mr. Martin

David Smiley, like Zimmerman, is guilty of Resisting Negro Thugs, a serious crime summarily punishable by death.

He got off easy.

Loving the SEIU purple worn by the gang members. The Nazi black while classic, was so, shall we say, unimaginative. We’ve definitely made great strides in gang colors.

Is that a purple SEIU shirt on that one heavy? Aren’t those their colors? Seems likely.

Barack Hussein Obama is no longer the POTUS in reality. Oh...yes...he remains the titled POTUS....but full blown “Lame Duck, Black Racist” is a more factual title for this now exposed America Hater!!!

I wonder what the deal was with the license tag??? Just whose vehicle was it that they didn’t want anybody to know about.

This explains why the defense had such a difficult time getting anybody in Martin’s circle of friends to agree to testify. The intimidation and threats keep even the big black reporters in line.

Probably a rental vehicle. Wouldn’t be surprised if a trace links it to a U.S. DOJ employee.

Call the police. They’ll arrest you for violating the civil rights of the poor, aggrieved downtrodden etc etc.

There is a $$$ threshold for felony theft. You have assault (putting you in fear of being hurt), simple battery in touching him and targeting because of his race. He was apparently the only white person there and the only one picked on.
