Trayvon marchers: 'We want an arrest. Shot in the chest"

Civil-rights organizers from the NAACP and other groups today are marching down Sanford's 13th street in the heart of one of the city's historic black neighborhoods to Sanford Police headquarters to demand the arrest of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

The march began at 11 a.m. at the Crooms Academy of Information Technology with an estimated 500 participatants, including people who have been bused in from across the country.

"We want an arrest. Shot in the chest," marchers are saying as they head to Sanford PD.

Several downtown streets are currently closed: 13th Street from U.S. Highway 17-92 to Lake Avenue and Persimmon Street from McCracken Road to 13th Street.

There was every possible opinion in the Reader's forum. Everything from the term, "spear chuckers" to the information regarding Norm Wolfinger appearing that night to stop the arrest.

So now the Orlando Sentinel is in the censorship business.

The comment section is back, the Norm Wolfinger comment is gone, but the anti-Shapton comments continue.

I think the Orlando Sentinel is protecting the good ole boy network.

two different comment areas. Very weird.

On edit, here's the link to the second article in the same paper. Seems like it's the same wording.
