SANFORD After weeks of demanding justice in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, reaction across Central Florida to George Zimmerman's second-degree murder charge shows measured relief.
"I think it's justice being served," Sanford's Allen Chapel AME Church Pastor Valarie Houston said. "All the protesting and all the marching, all the tears and lost nights of sleep, it's all been worthwhile."
Houston held a prayer service at the church that was attended by several dozen people after Special Prosecutor Angela Corey's decision to charge Zimmerman. Worshippers rose to sing "Glory, Glory Hallelujah" after walking into the church.
Minister R. White, in his opening prayer, thanked God and asked blessings for the Zimmerman family "on this victorious day."
The Goldsboro neighborhood church has been a focal point for protesters and others who have expressed their concerns about the handling of the case by the Sanford Police Department.
On Monday, the Dream Defenders, a coalition of college students from across Florida marched from Daytona Beach to the church to demand the arrest of Zimmerman. They later blocked the entrance to the Sanford Police Department, forcing officials to temporarily close the building to the public....

If there is anything other than a conviction...that state is gonna burn.
Yep. Now the "community" knows exactly where to go for the lynching.
Racists with hoods march in the US again.
Blood lust is an ugly thing.
Free George Zimmerman.
Guess it means the hood isn’t on fire, is about all...
Jeez! With the new “anti-bullying” movie just out isn’t odd that the real bullies are naacp, nbpp, rev al and jessie and of course we can’t forget uncle obie and his “my son” comment. How disgusting this whole scenario has become. Just wait until the acquital(SP). Then we gonna see some fires in Sanford.
Helping keep mankind warm for almost 65 years.
I think it’s significant she charged 2nd degree murder but no state hate crime or civil rights violations.
Today's mug shot
I guess we are all learning our lesson. White boys better take their damn beating or else! Even if they ain’t white, they still better take their damn beating!
Prediction: Mr. Zimmerman will end up walking or getting nothing more than 3rd degree.
The lunatics are running the asylum.
Kahlua at the bar anyone?
I have had a sick feeling in my gut since I heard that the state is caving in to mob blackmail. . . .

Many will say I’m being a bit dramatic, but, this is one of the worst moments in the history of this country. May Heaven please help George Zimmerman.
2nd degree murder? Oh Please! It would seem to me to have been much wiser to accuse him of a smaller crime, there is just no way to make murder stick. The outcome of the trial will make the community much worse than the non arrest. Heaven help the poor juror that acquits poor Zimmerman. I sure hope no body publicizes the names of the jurors.
I do hope that the prosecutor is involved in a save their life situation similar to Zimmerman before the trial. This is all starting to stink so badly.
Look for a hung jury in this case, mark my words.
Thugs across America feel much more secure with their plans to burn and loot and stuff.
Anyone who resists them will be put on trial.
It will end up either as a hung jury, meaning Mr. Zimmerman walks, or not more then 3rd degree.
