Maybe they need to start charging them to do things like this.

This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard of. The dream defenders accomplished nothing but putting the burden on the rest of the tax payers. This whole thing had gone too far. Outfits like this and the ACLU only hurt hard working Americans. From what I have observed it is usually people that are jobless and looking for the next governmental handout they can get that are part of these things. Zimmerman was found not guilty for crying out loud. I guess us white people should join in and do these things every time we see an African American committ a crime against a white person. But who of us has that kind of time especially since we are at work supporting these types of clowns.

REGARDING:
“At least they were preoccupied with the protest and not idle.”

And it’s a good thing they had the signs to let us know they were protesting, otherwise It would have been indistinguishable from idleness.

David for good things and signs

@David, I had no time for which to protest. I was occupied with just being myself and these days that seems to be a full time job.

P.S. I am a Zimmerman supporter, but I do find controversy an interesting pass-time (pastime).

To 429SCJ – a person who has a job or a career would not have time for what they did. They chose themselves to do what they did…they made a informed decision- so lets stop the sacrifice bit. As far as your response to hoping their employers gave them paid leave…for what. Paid leave is paid for something as an emergency by some companies, there is the family leave act….not a hang around the state and protest act. So how did your protest turn out 429SCJ ?

The sign says THE STATE IS OURS so I’m sure they’d be fine with receiving the bill.

Why are we, the taxpayers required to pay for their protest (sis) and not the protesters? Everyone has to pay for them trying to get their way or was it all for show? This is insane!

What about the time the Dream Defenders had to sacrifice away from their careers?

I hope their employers gave them paid leave?

At least they were preoccupied with the protest and not idle.
