Televangelist preacher Jamal Bryant vowed to “shut down Florida” at a rally on Wednesday to demand justice for slain Miami-Dade teen Trayvon Martin.
“This is a wake-up call for the state of Florida!” Bryant said. “We are going to shut Florida down until justice weighs down!”
The Baltimore preacher and leader of the Empowerment Movement spoke at a rally at the Allen Chapel in Sanford in response to the Feb. 26 killing of the Michael Krop Senior High school student.
Black leaders are vowing to bring at least 1,000 protesters from around the country to a March 26 city council meeting if charges are not filed in the case. The protesters, he said, should bring bags of Skittles like the candy Trayvon carried when he was gunned down after a fight with a stranger.
Trayvon was visiting his father and his father’s girlfriend in a gated community when the homeowner’s association neighborhood watch volunteer spotted him and thought he looked suspicious. The two tussled and guard George Zimmerman opened fire, killing the unarmed boy.
Zimmerman claimed self defense and has not been arrested. The case was referred this week to the state attorney’s office in Sanford for review. Police Chief Bill Lee said there was no probable cause for an arrest.
Because the boy is black and Zimmerman is widely believed to be white, the teen’s family and many activists believe Trayvon was racially profiled. However, Zimmerman is Hispanic.

I agree. But bad judgment isn't a crime. What if Zimmerman was returning to his vehicle when Martin attacked him? Isn't there some evidence to support that possibility?
Blogs aren't on my list of reads so to be hhonest, I never gave a thought to it.......probably won't either.
Time for a Florida vacation!
the past two and half years, Pastor Bryant has dealt with the personal crisis of infidelity, divorce, humiliation, and loss of his family and church membership
Prior to his role as pastor, Bryant served as the director of the NAACPs youth and college division

Jamal was known throughout the church as a problem child. He had some behavioral issues and was often referred to by members as sneaky.
Jamal was not ready to be a pastor in anybodys church. His priorities are screwed up. This is a man who brags about a Bentley that he leased. He brags about his home. He cheats on his wife and makes babies outside of his marriage. He is not fit to be anybodys pastor. He does not even live up to what he preaches.
I don’t read many blogs myself. I’m not big on reading opinions, but if a blog has links to useful information.
The lynch mob surely isn't limited to the race pimps and enemedia.
Given your FR handle, the irony of the above is worthy of framing.
2) Patently false
3) Supposition
4) Obviously
5) Supposition
6) Divagation
And no, I'm not gonna argue with you about it.
All the above are covered in the official police/prosecutor reports to date, along with the (few) reputable local news outlets.
I'm in a very bad mood right now, so I'm only going to say this once.
I am not Jewish. I am a Bible-thumping redneck from the Upper South. My use of the description "Gap-toothed snake-handling West Virginia hillbilly" was entirely sarcastic, meant to illustrate the utter hypocrisy of liberals in the opposite ways they treat white and Black chr*stians.
Understand?
Sorry 'bout your mood .. I've been that way since Nov'08
Shut down Florida?
Huh?
Shut Florida down? What a hoot!
