With them? Encouraging them to repeat that threat/call this year?

They were calling for a "Day of Action" on April 9th, 2012. They didn't get a lot of response, either from the authorities or those willing to join them.

I don't know if it needs a new thread. But, I need all the information I can get. I have to drive from Lakeland, through Orlando to go to Jacksonville in the morning. I am nervous about that and there doesn't seem to be much information coming out. That may be a good thing. It may mean not much is going on. I think the organizers have been disappointed in the turnout. Many don't care.

So, if anyone wants to comment on the Orlando area, I will be interested.


Of course, no one can be certain, but it seems to me that this will be over tomorrow. It doesn't look like the participation was anything near what they'd hoped for today, so it seems unlikely there will be carry-over past today, imo.

So far I hear crickets about the rallys. What time were they supposed to begin?


I saw a list, maybe it was on here, of places and times. A few were set to start at 10 am and some to start at noon. There was a small local one in Sanford already.

Just a reminder:

Legal Insurrection has a live feed of Sharpton's protest and a live twitter feed covering events.

From what I'm seeing around the web, the turnout seems to be very disappointing (for them), especially considering all of the speakers they have lined up.

"Rev." Al looks absolutely furious in the background of the live video, behind the speaker(s).

:Gslap :Gslap :lol

Since this is the first I've heard about this "emergency rally" I'm betting it was a bust too. Hmm... maybe the tried and true methods are failing now. Maybe these groups who want to effect change are going to have to find better routes. You know, like going to school, getting a degree and then either 1)running for elective office; or 2)getting a job and donating to the groups they support.

:Gslap :lol

What I'm not clear about, JG, is what this has to do with the GZ case? I admit, TLDR. ;)

Notice this says "hundreds[", not thousands, and this is the rally in Chicago!

Sharpton still speaking and I haven't noticed him saying "TM™" at all yet. Seems more like a list of future events he is listing off so far.

Oh - there he goes, finally talking about "young unarmed boy" blah blah.

Folks, you gotta go look at the live video at Legal Insurrection. Al looks like a caricature, with his head about 4 sizes too big for his now skinny body. :Gslap :lol

Sharpton says Trayparents™ have sued GZ. First I've heard of a suit being filed. Anyone else?

Going on and on about GZ getting deposed in that case. :Gslap :lol Deposition and discovery is exactly why many think Trayparents™ are/were? unlikely to actually file a civil suit against GZ.

I haven't heard about any lawsuits. All I have heard is MoM said if anyone sues GZ he will go to court and get immunity which he is sure he will get.

Oh my! Al making a call, like a call to be saved, only it's to join his group, NAN! Music in the background/interim and everything, like at church. Music is about "justice" instead of "Jesus". Now asking for "offering".

:NN20

Oh my, this man, Al, is so disgusting... asking for donations of $100... then asking for $50's... then $20's... "Rachel, is that a latte you're drinking?" with the implication she should have saved that money if she didn't have at least a $20 for him. Then finally, 'whatever you got, even a dollah.' I've never seen anything like it...

:NN20

Edit to add: Al said he wanted 8 people to donate $100; I don't think he got that many.
