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....

Well the thugs will end up getting angry blowback.
I see a hung jury from all this.
And who, exactly, will burn it?
If it drags out long enough they will move onto something else. Attention spans keep getting shorter.
Nightline did a piece on this tonight. They used all three pictures of GZ and a more recent picture of TM. However... they played an edited version of the 911 tape. It’s so hard not to yell at the tv.
Mob rules. The race baiters never miss an opportunity to play the part of professional victim.
A few years ago the state of FL let an innocent disabled woman be brutally starved to death.
Look for him to walk, HUNG JURY.
OH PLEASE!
GET A DAM CLUE!
WERE YOU BORN *AFTER* THE OJ TRIAL?
It is better that innocent whites be railroaded than the black racists like Sharpton be upset. What rule of Law?
NO you GET A CLUE!
The reality is that, with too much publicity, I am CONFIDENT I will be right, because since what happened to the Casey Anthony trial, we are going to have another one of those crazy show trails.
Besides I was BORN way before the OJ trail, jut to correct you.
It will be at most a hung jury.
It wouldn’t matter. The tribe wants blood and they will have it one way or another.Zimmerman’s blood or the next best thing... any white man,woman or child.
This may sound stone cold but I see it coming.
Agreed.
sorry.
There’s not enough people with that much courage and integrity. They will all cave to the angry mob...just like the OJ trial.
But with the overkill of media reporting, finding any jury will be hard at best and I see most likely a hung jury in all this.
I see a lot of retailers across the country taking some big hits if they allow GZ to post bond. The lynch mobs are going to be in the mood for some “free stuff” after all of the “protesting” they’ve had to do.
I am confident there will be people of courage and integrtiy. No caving is going to happen.
I think if I was Zimmerman, I would have tried to sneak out and leave the country. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’m dubious on these charges because the “politically correct” crowd and “Eric Holder’s People” want it.
Wouldn’t controlling the threatening mobs have been a relief? The mobs were/are the problem. Zimmerman wasn’t going to run around like a dangerous criminal on a rampage, while police and DA’s did their job.
That type of cowardliness deserves no relief.
