A group of North Miami Beach Senior High School students participating in a walk-out demonstration in support of Trayvon Martin were caught ransacking a local Walgreens store. Surveillance footage shows the teens (somewhere between 80 and 100, according to police) running through the store and ransacking shelves, causing an estimated $150 in damages. Local reports say about 400 to 500 students at the school participated in the protest last Friday, with most remaining peaceful.
The surveillance footage also shows the school’s assistant principal attempting to stop students from entering the store.
...
Fortunately for the police, in addition to the surveillance footage, they also have several student IDs dropped by the teenagers during their raid.
They bring down not only the movement for justice for Trayvan Martin, but they confirmed all the worst stereotypes about black people by doing this. They robbed themselves and their race of the hard-won dignity that others had earned through mass demonstrations.
This war has multiple fronts.
