Miami-Dade Police Department was ready for action:
Of course, reality was another thing:
Love the keywords: Due to inactivity, not that the peaceful protest was over or that they were done raising hell and went home, nope: inactivity as in nobody came or gave two turds.
Yes, they tried (and are still trying) to manufacture violence. Problem is nobody is buying because they are not interested into buying a fake product (I hope that is the majority) or the price might be too frigging steep to pay.
Overheard a discussion in the office (in CO) this morning that the reason there was “no activity in FL was because everyone that wanted to peacefully protest the outcome of the trial was afraid they would be shot by Zimmerman supporters if they did”.
I imagine some would thought that, but the truth is there was no “outrage” in the community as the media painted. You can literally feel tension on the air if there is something afoot and nobody that I asked felt it. That night (morning..it was like 1:30am) after the verdict, I asked a couple of Miami Gardens (TM’s town) police officers who were patrolling how things were and the answer is “All is quiet. Same old.”
Yeah, all the stupidity happened out here in Cali & in New York.

All the negative opinions on the Zimmerman/Martin case are like assholes, everybody IS one.
I would go start a riot but between playing Angry Birds and sextexting I don’t have time.
Yet /another/ broken campaign promise from OFA…
