Breaking News: Racial tensions escalate in Florida

In Sanford, where Trayvon Martin was killed over a month ago, peaceful student protesters have forced the closing of the police department today. The students wearing hoodies knelt before the police department doors. No arrests were made.


It was also announced that the special prosecutor handling the case, Angela Corey, has decided not to convene a grand jury to decide whether to bring charges again George Zimmerman, Martin's confirmed killer.


This news comes on the heels of a report that the National Socialist Movement (NSM), a neo-nazi group, has converged on Sanford, stating that they were willing to protect the city's white citizens should a race riot ensue. The group was founded in 1974 by Robert Brannen, former member of the American Nazi Party.

A Fox News affiliate has called the NSM a "civil rights" group, however, the Southern Poverty Law Center which tracks racists groups, deems the group dangerous.  To read more about the NSM, go to: http://www.splcenter.org/blog/2012/04/08/neo-nazis-plan-patrols-in-florida-in-wake-of-trayvon-martin-shooting/
