Terry Jones, Quran-burning pastor, reportedly headed to Sanford in support of Zimmerman

Leaders of Sanford, Florida's black community, are bracing for the arrival of controversial pastor Terry Jones. The Gainesville preacher gained notoriety for publicly burning a copy of the Muslim holy book, the Quran, last spring. Jones leads a church with fewer than 50 members, but the Quran stunt gained him international infamy after his actions led to widespread violence that is believed to have caused the deaths of two U.N. workers.
Now, Jones has set his sights on Sanford.
The radical pastor reportedly plans to hold a rally on April 21st outside the Seminole County Criminal Courthouse, in support of George Zimmerman, the 28-year-old neighborhood watch captain who shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin inside a townhome development in Sanford on February 26th.
<..> Some participants in the meeting reportedly expressed concerns during the meeting that Jones' rally could ignite racial tensions in the city -- and that a clash over the Martin case along racial lines could lead to violence. Some black community leaders worry that Jones' demonstration will attract counter-protests.

What next? I hope there is a lot of security...federal security...at the rally.

I guess my only question would be what took him so long? Sanford is undoubtedly the new Holy Land for the hatemongers.
