Florida Activists Occupy Governor's Office, Seek Repeal of "Stand Your Ground" 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Florida, protesters have begun a sit-in at the office of Republican
Gov. Rick Scott in Tallahassee. Organizers with the group Dream
Defenders want Scott to call a special legislative session to repeal
Florida’s "Stand Your Ground" law. They have vowed to remain until
their concerns are addressed. Demonstrators also rallied Tuesday at the
Florida Department of Justice field office in Gainesville.
