Zimmerman Protesters Take Over FL Gov's Office
Breitbart ^ | 7/16/13 | Lee Stranahan,

Posted on 07/16/2013 11:17:48 AM PDT by Nachum

From Lee Stranahan, Breitbart News: A coalition put together by Dream Defenders took over Florida Gov. Rick Scott's office in Tallahassee on Tuesday to demand a special legislative session that they say will address "the issues at the center of the Trayvon Martin tragedy." The coalition contends that "stand your ground vigilantism, racial profiling and a war on youth that paints us as criminals and funnels us out of schools and funnels us out of schools and into prison" is part of the culture that lead to the tragedy. Governor Scott was out of the office and not expected to return today. Dream Defenders says it plans to occupy the office as long as needed. The group has engaged in sit-ins in the past that have lasted three days.

Why is this permitted? Are there no police in the capitol?

If our side tried this kind of thing we'd be treated to pepper spray and an indefinite stay in a holding cell while things were "sorted out." But the enemy can just mosey in and take over anywhere, indefinitely.

No.

Zimmerman didn’t “profile” race. He was asked by the dispatcher was the guy black, white or hispanic and he said, “he looks black”.

Zimmerman got along equally well with all races and ethnicities in his community. He took the side of a black homeless man who was being hasseled by the police. He mentored black kids in his spare time.

Don’t fall for the attempt to divide on skin color.

Don’t make stuff up about Zimmerman that fits the racial divide that the Left is so hungry for.

his office should be taken over by protestors for going on a witch hunt after an innocent man his own state police and local prosecutor refused to charge. The MSM is trying to flame and keep these asshole “protesters” on some outrage mission until Zimmerman is dead or brought up on something.
Maybe a nice IRS audit, huh?

I feel bad even commenting because it’s giving these morons attention when in reality MOST Americans are not “outraged” at this verdict. It’s a media creation from start to finish.

These people will never recognize their responsibility to respect other people and the property of other people.

They were raised to believe that white people have nice things because their white ancestors plundered and pillaged from people of color and passed along that wealth via white privilege. Thus, in their eyes, they are merely reclaiming stolen property when they rob, and they are merely getting revenge/belated justice when they attack.

And this is not just a lower class mindset. I know many middle and upper class educated black people who hold this worldview.

Remove them immediately or expect more of the same.

Condoning and appeasing this behavior only breeds more.

ENOUGH.

Watch closely America. If you like what you are seeing from the Trayvons, keep voting for leftist race-baiters.

Christians, remember the words, “we are strangers, we are aliens. We are not of this world.”?

I wouldn’t even dare go around shouting, “the world is ours”. Ignorance. Pagan. Satanic.

Some of that building may be open to the public. Any part that is not should be put on immediate lockdown. The inhabitants should then be arrested and charged for breaking and entering, and where appropriate, battery.

This behaviour will continue until people are convinced there is a rule of law, and it will be enforced.

If he does, he will win without my vote. However, this is coming from none other than 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Scott’s allowing this demonstrates that he is aware of it and approves.

If any evil starts you can bet that it will be the black communists that start it... if anything is started. I pray that America will remember GOD and come back to good and turn away from evil. All of this is so unnecessary but the media wants a war and I am afraid that they will succeed. I know there are many blacks that feel the same as most Conservatives do... they are tired of all of this garbage. I have talked with several today that know the truth and that means there is hope.

He brought this on himself by over-ruling local authority and appointing Angela Corey. Live with it, Ricky.....

Thanks Barry and Eric. You’ve “changed” a “nation of immigrants” into a nation of warring tribes just as you “hoped” to do! Great job!

well, these guys are informed. the governor actually appointed the special prosecutor after the local authorities refused to prosecute.

It’s way past time when the Governor should have spoken out against this lawlessness.

He and Pam Bondi are sacrificing their re-elections to pander to a herd of whining blacks who want special rules for themselves.

So they are saying- let black criminals go free; make it a crime to defend oneself with violence.

Dream defenders want chaos.
