Dueling Trayvon Martin protests collide in River Oaks

The demonstration for Martin came to a climax when the dueling protests met at the corner of Shepherd and Gray. Police crowded the street between both groups as each side erupted in shouts with signs waving and hands in the air.

Some of the roughly 80 counter-protesters, who largely felt justice was served in the Zimmerman ruling, chanted, "Go home racists!"

Gee, now I wonder who started the violence, hmmmmmmm

[NonValueAdded]

I say it was the horse.

[doc1019]

What, no gunfire! ;-)

[Caliban]

Bet both Starbucks were busy!

“Go home, racists!”

That should be the national response to all of these racists crybabies calling for any further persecution of the innocent man known as George Zimmerman.

It should also be the response to Eric Holder, known racist.

And it should also be the response to Barack Hussein Obama, known racist.

By tomorrow in the media narrative, this'll be the two sides facing off.

I see that instead of mass-printed signs, they have mass-printed T-shirts. A hat tip to the Freeper the other day who described these as “afro-turf” operations.

The case is over and the verdict is in. It’s time to move on to the next scene of Histrionics by the “oppressed” people of choler.

“I see that instead of mass-printed signs, they have mass-printed T-shirts”

Wanna bet it was taxpayer money that got them printed?

Oh man, I sort of wish I’d have been there, but I know myself well enough to know that it would be better for me to not be there. I’m itching for a fight, and that would not help right now.

here's a good one, "If the head is split, you must acquit"

[TheMom]

Ping for you.

[mountn man]

If the head is split, you must acquit.

I love it.

[mountn man]

They should have done all those signs in cursive.
