Old Trooper sends a link from a Miami local station<\/a> which tells us that the Trayvon Martin rally in Miami was less attended than activists had hoped;<\/p>\n

The Reverend Al Sharpton spoke to a crowd of more than 3,000 people, chanting \u201cNo Justice, no peace.\u201d<\/p>\n

And the Reverend Jess Jackson called for an \u201cend to vigilantism.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There were local speakers, too;<\/p>\n

Miami-Dade Schools Superintendent Alberto Carvalho showed his support, saying he stood up for Trayvon.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was my student. He will forever be remembered as a child of Miami-Dade,\u201d Carvallo shouted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A child of Miami-Dade, huh? Then Miami-Dade failed him since he’d been suspended from school<\/a> three times in the last month of his life. Once was for attacking a bus driver, once for skipping school and once for possession of drug paraphernalia. Nothing he should have died for, but it kind of demonstrates a pattern of behavior that everyone is in denial over. In October, he was discovered with burglary tools and property that didn’t belong to him.<\/p>\n

With all of the attention in Miami directed towards Trayvon’s death, you’d think that this would be a story and a reason for the black community to be even madder about something they can actually do something about, rather than focusing on an Hispanic man with Jewish surname who may have been defending himself;<\/p>\n
