Police: Trayvon protesters ransack store

http://www.local10.com/news/Police-Trayvon-protesters-ransack-store/-/1717324/9719674/-/xctonpz/-/index.html


North Miami Beach Walgreens incident caught on video

Minutes after walking out of their school Friday, a large group of students walked through the streets of North Miami Beach. Along the way, they stopped at a Walgreens at 163rd Street and 15th Avenue at about 10:40 a.m.

Surveillance video shows dozens of teenagers running through the store. Police said about 80 to 100 students stormed in, ransacking the shelves, before the school's vice principal ordered everyone outside.

His legal counsel will use this to say he can't get a fair trial anywhere in the state of Florida.

Sanford and Miami are roughly 250 miles apart.

As per the story,

Some of the students dropped their IDs on the way out of the store, police said,

Just as when Willie Sutton was (supposedly) asked, "Why do you banks?", he answered, "Because that's where the money is."
