Rev. Terry Jones, Florida's very own Quran burning pastor, is planning a march today in support George Zimmerman at the University of Florida. This, according to a spokesperson for the Dove World Outreach Center where the good Rev. Jones preaches the Loving Word of Our Only True God™.
Another march in support of efforts to obtain justice for Trayvon Martin had been previously scheduled to begin at about 5 p.m. today at the University of Florida in Gainsville. However, Jones and 20 members of the Dove World Outreach plan to show up and presumably conduct a counter-demonstration.

Jones often carries a pistol for protection. "He will be there to advocate for George Zimmerman's Constitutional rights," said Fran Ingram, of the Dove World Outreach.
