About a dozen Houston community activists met Tuesday with U.S. Attorney Kenneth Magidson to demand action in the wake of the George Zimmerman acquittal.
But the community leaders were mum after the meeting about their specific demands.
"He was firm, and we were just as firm with him," said Quanell X as the activists emerged from the meeting in downtown Houston. "It was not a hug and kiss meeting. It was not a kissing cousin meeting. We listened to him, he listened to us."
Prior to the 9 a.m. sit-down, Krystal Muhammad, Houston chairwoman of the New Black Panther Party, outlined the group's game plan.
"We have some specific demands of the Department of Justice, from the local level to the national level," she said. "We want accountability and transparency to our communities as to what they're (DOJ) doing with regard to the Trayvon Martin case, as well as many other cases we've submitted to the Department of Justice."
DeLoyd Parker Jr., co-founder and executive director of S.H.A.P.E. Community Center, said the group is awaiting Magidson's response.
"The bottom line is that we made a move today," he said. "It was a move on behalf of the people, and we firmly believe that. We'll see what their response is ... whether he (Magidson) really represents the people. It's their move right now." ....
Muhammad, of the New Black Panther Party, said the time for passivity is over.
"Today is a new day," she said. "You're no longer going to be able to hide in these marble towers and ignore the people. You're going to have come to the people. We will remain at your doorsteps and inside your office and at your home and everywhere you turn until we see justice."

How do six people demand anything?

Civil War is brewin’....
Waiting for someone to demand justice for Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson..they have been waiting forever for their justice
In the United States I grew up in, they’d have been arrested on the spot for putting a bounty on Mr. Zimmerman’s head (I assume that’s a felony) and inciting to riot, among other things. Today, they’re fawned-over, coddled, listened to respectfully and given assurances. Civil war, anyone?
“Demand”??.... LOL @ these fools.
Ah... Quanell X. A fine Irish lad, if ever there was one. LMAO!!!

Two weeks ago, I was alot more concerned than I am now. I'm pretty sure we can deal with all twelve of these malcontents if they really force their hand. LMAO!!!

What legitimate reason is there for Feds to meet with protestors in Texas, or anywhere else?
Yep.........and remember all those white people that demonstrated in the streets, burned city blocks to the ground, pulled blacks out of their cars and beat them to a pulp and we STILL ain’t seen no justice!!! :(......(before anyone jumps the gun, my comments were meant as sarcasm)...:)
it appears doj is recruiting hit teams in major cities to take care of george if he’s anywhere nearby. i am sure doj will share intel, and vice versa.
let me guess...$$$
They know he’s in North Texas now, from the traffic stop. I hope they don’t publish a pic of his license plate from the LEO’s dash cam; too easy to trace. Ooops, there’s the plate...
Good point especially when you consider this quote from the upstanding citizen Mr. Quanell X;
“[i]f you feel that you just got to mug somebody because of your hurt and your pain, go to River Oaks and mug you some good white folks. If you’re angry that our brother is put to death, don’t burn down your own community, give these white folks hell from the womb to the tomb.”
