The protest of the boot camp death trial verdict ended with a demand. By 5 p.m. Oct. 19, the demonstrators want a meeting with the U.S. attorney investigating the Anderson case and a timeline for when they can expect federal charges to be filed.  If the students do not receive that satisfaction, they said, they will be back in the streets, in much greater numbers.

Today’s protest was loosely organized, put together by an informal coalition of students at FAMU, FSU and Tallahassee Community College.

If their demand isn’t met, the students say they will stage a second, much larger demonstration.

The demonstrators made their demand about 6:20 p.m., then headed home about 7.
