Aside from what Munchkin said, we're not seeing protests just about Florida. As I said, this case has become a symbol. That's the way these things often go -- out of lots of people or events, one strikes just the right chord at jut the right time and becomes the symbol for all of them. People can debate whether this is the best case to be the symbol or not, but regardless it has taken on that role.
