Tempers flared on social media Saturday as hungry Dream Defenders in Tallahassee complained about officials blocking after-hours food deliveries to Florida's Capitol, where roughly 100 protesters are staging a sit-in.
Protesters are calling for a special session to repeal stand-your-ground laws in the wake of the controversial not-guilty verdict in George Zimmerman's murder trial in Sanford on July 13.
They remained peaceful, but posts on Twitter and Facebook show that the Dream Defenders' supporters were enraged by the discomfort.
But Gretl Plessinger, spokeswoman for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, said the denial of the food delivery was not an attempt to "starve the Dream Defenders out," as numerous social-media posts suggest.
"Our rules haven't changed since the beginning of the protest," Plessinger said.
She added that when FDLE agreed to allow the group to protest after hours, those who are already inside would be permitted to stay but no one would be allowed to enter after 5 p.m. Friday — not even to deliver food.
"These rules were also in effect last weekend and there wasn't an issue," Plessinger said.....
The protesters have demanded that Scott call a special legislative session to discuss "Trayvon's Law."
That law would repeal Florida's "stand your ground" law, address racial profiling and call for an end to zero-tolerance rules in public schools that funnel students into the juvenile justice system.
Scott has denied the special session but the protesters plan to stay inside the Capitol until that changes.

Either way -- No Jimmy Johns for protesters til Monday.
Too bad --
They also need to lock the doors and to the bathrooms, turn off the power and fumigate the place nightly.
If the Governor did not support them they would not be allowed to be there.
They actually want the school to deal with lawbreakers so they can hide their records under cloak of school privacy laws. When they get out of the school system you’ll never know who was a sexual predator, drug addict or car jacker if they get their way. Repeal SYG and the thugs run wild. There is a 60s movie this reminds me of. Don’t know where a person could find it but it’s called “Wild in the Streets”. Something similar to this situation.
They keep the lights on in the building all night so that it is difficult for them to sleep —
Their Moms didn’t pack ‘em a nutritious Obamalunch? That there is child abuse!
That is what I have been saying.
The interesting thing about Zimmerman’s reenactment of the incident with cops is that he mentions Martin saying “Shut up, mother******”, and pinching his nose and lips shut after he yells for help. If Zimmerman’s statement is true, it’s clear that Martin wasn’t afraid for his life - he just wanted to maim or kill Zimmerman without anyone else knowing about it.

Just roust them at 4am Zuccotti style.
Good news, they can call it a fast.
What pathetic protests.......100 people.
There was one at UCSB the other day and 16 people showed up, it was called “unity”.
When will the race mongers realize the American people are not that stupid, we know a thug beat the chit out of a guy with a gun and got killed.
Maybe they could turn their protest into a hunger strike.
If the Governor did not support them they would not be allowed to be there.
Hmmm. Seems Florida needs a new governor.

Too many on both sides are playing with this. It’s the second time the President of the United States has interjected himself into a confrontation between those in authority on legal grounds reasonably questioned and released someone involved in a curious activity.
In both cases those representing “authority” were reported as “white” . In the second case the person working security was attacked after questioning an activity while on private rights of way and allowing the person to continue on their way. Who doubled back and attacked the “neighborhood watch” worker beating him severly on the ground and the attacker was subsequently killed in a struggle over the Neighborhood Watchman’s legal pistol.
In the second case both were dark skined.
Since the Zimmernan not guilty verdict has been rendered, the facts of this case are still being shamefully being concealed by the media to the extent they are advancing and are complicit in permitting a putrid injstice to be committed of the worst order,organized and instituted by our governent.While denied. It began as a miscalculation when a surname of a Jewish origin shot up and lighted the heavens like a star shell in the darkest of nights. It would have been difused if the media used pictures of both side by side because they look like cousins. And the area where this occured of paycheck to paycheck struggling homeowners of all races trying to protect themselves had been reported and not some ritzy all white enclave.they portrayed..Worse yet the media is still pilling it on with ABC editing a a black jury member’s (remember when they were all white) remarks to make it sound like she accused Zimmerman of murder.
Instead the party that hypenated itself from God at their 2012 convention into demo-coms, and believe that all groups should be hyphenated , Afro-American, Hispanic-American, etc..Decided Zimmerman to be the egg that is to be broken,. sacrificed, so that we have an omlet..Just like Stalin did to the Ukrainian land owners known as Kulacks whom he executed, (and used that egg example) in a soclal engineering plan to organize collectives during a Russian drought..Because as we have learned there seems to be the intention to use a collective data base to create collectives.where a utopia of uniforimity of conformity exists. As was done in Detroit, and Oakland California.only this time a poor whitey or blacky won’t be able to move,.
Just as with the energy plan where the cost of fuel used for energy and transportation has skyrocketed placing those on fixed or limited incomes dependent on government handouts because of this regimes socialist policies the sacrifice of Zimmerman must die for . This time to another communist plan. We all move together in centers designed and approved by comrades running the collective who (just like Obamacare aren’t in it) won’t and never live there.
Why is this being done ? Who accompained Obama on his many trips around the world at taxpayer expence ? Were they the heavy hitters or their friends holding the president’s hand ? Never looked into either by the House and certainly not even speculated about or reported on by the media. Seems like that could be considered pay back at US taxpayer expence. Isn’t that an impeachable offense ? Now if somebody even suggests impeachment. What better way to discourage that by organizing the base for riots in the streets ?
Nothing for you useless eaters.
this is STILL going on?
My God....I can’t stop laughing at these jerk offs...
They knew the rule and they did not think ahead and stock up on snacks?
Stupid people
Didn’t Rick Scott already meet with these morons? Throw their asses out, Rick. Jeb Bush woulda done that.
