Martin Anderson Protest

NAACP member and college students took to the streets of Tallahassee to protest the Martin Anderson verdict. Tallahassee Mayor John Marks showed grace that Floridans aren't used to seeing from their elected officials He thanked the students for their civic involvement.


"You have a right, an obligation, to let people know how you feel," Marks said. "An affront to justice anywhere is an affront to justice everywhere."


Amen to that!

Tallahassee attorney Ben Crump is representing Anderson's family. He stated all Anderson's parents want is justice.


"We are not asking for an eye for an eye or a tooth for a tooth; we're asking for equal justice," said Tallahassee attorney Ben Crump, who is representing the Anderson family.


Under the circumstances, justice isn't too much to ask for.

Speaking as a Tallahassee native, we are used to seeing that from Mayor Marks.
