Students in Trayvon Martin walkout damage drugstore

I think this was the article Glenn Beck was referencing way back on March 28, that I couldn't find when I looked for it yesterday.

A bunch of students who wanted "justice" for Trayvon trash a store - a store whose owner and workers had absolutely nothing to do with the death of Trayvon Martin. And leaders of the black community wonder why there's no justice for Trayvon, when the atmosphere of fear that causes such deaths certainly doesn't seem to be generated by store owners or neighborhood watch folks..

From Miami Herald: Students in Trayvon Martin walkout damage drugstore
About 100 students who walked out of class at North Miami Beach Senior High School in honor of Trayvon Martin, the Miami Gardens teenager who was shot to death last month in Sanford, ended up ransacking a Walgreens drugstore, breaking displays and merchandise, North Miami Beach police said.

The students walked out of school about 11 a.m. Friday in an otherwise peaceful demonstration, according to a statement emailed by police.

Walgreens surveillance cameras rolled as the students flooded the store and ran through the aisles. At one point, the school’s assistant principal entered the store to try to get the students to leave. They soon begin streaming out of the store and back into the street.

Police and store officials this week were not sure whether anything was stolen because the ransacking was not caught by the cameras, according to police. The students caused about $150 worth of damage in broken shelving and merchandise, officials said.
