You've seen Occupy Wall Street. … Now meet the Dream Defenders — a student organization that has taken up occupation in Florida's Capitol building.For more than two weeks, the Dream Defenders have staged a sit-in just outside Gov. Rick Scott's office to protest the state's controversial "stand your ground" law, among other concerns.The group began organizing immediately after the Zimmerman verdict July 13 and orchestrated a march of hundreds of students within an hour.
A group of student revolutionaries known as the Dream Defenders has occupied Florida’s Capitol building for the sixteenth day, refusing to leave until Gov. Rick Scott reevaluates the state’s ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws, reports USA Today.Forming immediately after George Zimmerman was found ‘not guilty’ of murdering Trayvon Martin on July 13, 2013, the group’s numbers have ebbed and flowed, but their presence has remained constant.
Makes you wonder who is paying them to stay there.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement reports that the overtime bill for Sunday security at the Capitol during the 27th day of the Dream Defenders' sleep-in was $7,407.86. That's for the one night.Let's see now ...There were 10 Dream Defenders who spent the night. That makes the OT costs approximately $740.79 for every protester.
TALLAHASSEE -- They weren’t able to convince Gov. Rick Scott to call a special session on the controversial Stand Your Ground self-defense law.But the student activists known as the Dream Defenders drew national attention to their cause by holding the longest sit-in demonstration in the Florida Capitol in recent memory.On Thursday, the Miami-based group announced that their record-setting protest was over — for now, at least. “After 31 days and 30 nights, we are leaving the Capitol for our next phase,†Dream Defenders Executive Director Phillip Agnew said.
It is finally over. They did this for 31 days.
And accomplished... What??? Trayvon Martin still fully employed as a worm feeder? Check.George Zimmerman still free, armed and on this side of the grass? Check.Stand Your Ground law still has no bearing on Zimmerman's degree of incarceration? Check.
They made asses out of themselves.
The leader of the "coalition" has a past of PC/Racially biased protesting.http://www.flamingswordofjustice.com/people/phillip-agnewWith the same "lynch em" attitude in this case:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Anderson_case
