Gov. Rick Scott rushed off stage after Stand Your Ground question

TALLAHASSEE --

An ongoing sit-in in the lobby of Gov. Rick Scott's office in protest of George Zimmerman's not guilty verdict and Florida's controversial Stand Your Ground law entered day three Thursday.

Meanwhile, the governor was at the Tampa Film Office Thursday to meet with Visit Tampa Bay CEO Santiago Corrada about the 2014 International Indian Film Academy Awards, which are set to be held in Tampa next year.

But despite being out of the Capitol, the controversy found him anyway.

A reporter during the media appearance asked whether Scott thought the Stand Your Ground law should be repealed. Scott responded that he did not support getting rid of the law, but before he could elaborate, he was rushed out by his media relations team. No follow-up questions were allowed.

The sit-in started Tuesday, when roughly 100 protesters showed up at the governor's office, many with signs reading "Justice for Trayvon," in tribute to 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, who was shot and killed during a struggle with Zimmerman in February 2012. Zimmerman was acquitted of second-degree murder charges late Saturday.
