I need a Florida person near ...

[lala_rawraw]

The hospice to take a photo of the crowd. I have a theory that the culture of life people are entirely made up of the Coral Ridge Church and the Florida college Republicans. Remember the riot during the 2000 election? I think this is the same thing. Anyone live near there willing to take a picture of the crowd? I cannot find any pictures in the MSM, another reason I suspect staged morals. PM me and let me know. Caveat: please do not do anything illegal. Simply take photo.

PM me here at DU or email me, or AIM me.

1. I think a lot of them are Washington Lobbyist

Yesterday, when the case was here in Atlanta, NPR called them "Protesters from Washington D.C.":think:

2. I've been wondering where Roger Stone is lately?

Probably coordinating the crowd? That's one of his specialties.

5. Are they literally on the grounds of the hospice?

This really has me concerned, as I have had family members in hospice.

If so, why are they allowed to stay? Is it a governmental facility?

Sorry for the intrusion, but the thought of this is very disturbing.

7. Where's the police and crowd control?

They better not let anyone in that facility to get hurt.

10. Private Facility

The protestors are across the street in an area set up by Pinellas Park police who have gotten used to this circus...this isn't the first time picketing has gone on there.

I heard the mayor of the town the other day and he appears to be non-partisan in this issue and doing the best with a bad situation. While we disagree with these losers, we still have to respect their rights to protest and be total fools.

One thing that struck me from the coverage is how this looked very similar to the Elian protests more than the ones following election 2000...but I won't squabble there.

It'd be interesting for someone from here to sneak over and take some shots...also of the literal media big top circus that is set up. I'd be curious to see if there were more people covering the protestors than protestors themselves.

6. one more caveat to photog--be prepared, they don't like cameras

Once I was standing in my backyard videotaping some Xtian Zombies picketing across the street at Planned Parenthood. After awhile a guy came out of the crowd and came over and interrogated me. "I live here and I like to keep an eye on the neighborhood" I said. Ha ha, I'm on private property, dingbat! Anyway, don't get caught and if you do, be prepared for whatever.

8. Well it seems

A kid tried to sneak in. Can someone get some snaps or no? Calling the local press is like as chewing on wood. Anyone live near there? I just want to see if this theory hold water, because if these people are plants, good god.

This Cult from Maryland, who funded their trip would be a good question, i want answered. I really think this is the coral ridge people... this is their "style" if you will. Blast, I need a progressive, honest, DU (i am biased, so what:)) photographer. Someone, anyone in that area?

9. I would tell them

that if they have the right to protest I have the right to videotape.
