When cooler heads prevail

I was proud to read the lead story in today's Orlando Sentinel.

Proud of the Central Florida community, that is.

For those of you who live outside of the area, we were targeted by the same group of neo-Nazis that caused so much trouble up in Toledo, Ohio, last year.

But, they got absolutely nowhere down here . . . well, nowhere but the designated, barricaded "free speech" areas set-up by local law enforcement officials.

Check out some of the press coverage here: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/orange/orl-bk-marchpg022506,0,4585360.photogallery?coll=orl-home-headlines&index=10

All the pre-planning really kept a lid on what could have been a combustible situation, as these morons marched thru the historic black Parramore neighborhood just west of downtown Orlando.

There were only a few arrests made, as most counter-protestors chose to follow the "Be Cool" program formulated by community leaders who kept a visible profile in matching blue t-shirts. Others chose to completely turn their backs on the idiots by attending a memorial service for Coretta Scott King in nearby Eatonville, one of the oldest black townships in the country.

I love it when cooler heads prevail!

Way to go Central Florida!
