While the Dream Defenders continue to hold a sit-in at the Governor’s Office at the state capitol, they are calling their very own special legislative session.
The group will use their session to examine the circumstances that lead to the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. The group continues to urge the Governor and other lawmakers to hold a special session.
Dream Defenders Executive Director, Phillip Agnew says the law needs to change to protect Floridians.
“We know our laws are supposed to prevent violence, not endorse it or provide cover for perpetrators of violence,” said Agnew.
Even if the Governor doesn’t hold a special session, there are two other ways one can be called.
The other two ways include: The Speaker of the House and President of Senate to call a special session. The other way is to have 20 percent of state lawmakers call a special session.
Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commission Gerald Bailey says the protest has caused a few problems.
Capitol police have found protestors in restricted areas.
An aide for house member Alan Williams escorts some protestors through an unsecured door. Officers found two men and one woman, half-clothed and sleeping in the chapel and several protestors have inflated air mattresses, which are blocking emergency exits and causing safety hazards.
Wednesday, a DMS cleaning crew member reported walking in on a nude female washing her body in the plaza level female bathroom just after 7:00a.m.
The Dream Defenders continued to demonstrate overnight with 43 participants.
Others say these issues are minor compared to the cost of controlling this protest.
Since the sit-in started last week, the state has spent nearly $117,000 in security costs, averaging about $13,000 a day.
Why have these idiot atroturfers not been run off yet?
Say what you will but Bill Daley, Dick Nixon, Spiro Agnew or Bobby Kennedy would’ve never put up with this nonsense.
From the article:
Dream Defenders Executive Director, Phillip Agnew says the law needs to change to protect Floridians Florida's criminals.
I think its a good night to lock the doors and bug bomb the place. What say you?
What is the problem????????
They are trespassing. Throw them out.
Geeze - if the governor can’t figure out how to handle a bunch of juveniles he shouldn’t be governor.
Good questions!
It hasn’t been a good year for criminals. A lot of them have been catching a lot of lead lately. The gun control thing isn’t working out for the Nazi ‘RATS so they feel they better make it illegal for Americans to “dust” a murderer, a thug or a rapist. They are ‘RAT voters.
I think the Dream Defenders don’t want Floridians to be able to protect themselves from thugs.
They are the ones who the DEPT. OF "JUST-US", Division of CRS , encouraged to protest the Sheriff
when George Zimmerman wasn't arrested immediately after the assault.
They should be arrested for the criminals that they are !
On one hand, I wouldn't mind watching a cop spraying some tear gas to get them to move to a reasonable protest spot so they can “protest” to their hearts content.
OTOH, with the full fury of the Feds (POTUS and DOJ) on their “side”, the media optics might be bad.
Turn off the buildings a/c, power and water.Turn on portable spotlights in the lobby. I will leave the strobe level and colors for the experts.
Jam their pirated wifi connections, and have a DJ with a kick ass PA system play a variable mix of country, old rock, classical,gospel and marching band music.
They will leave.
Or just shut the building down, and tell all the State government employees who work there that they will be furloughed, without pay, untill the situation is resolved.
Or someone could mail an envelope of corn starch, and turn the whole area into a hazmat area.
