At one point there was a disagreement between the New Black Panther Party and fellow marchers from the Occupy movement. One of the Occupy protesters began marching in front of Quanell X, so a few Panthers asked the man to move--to let Quanell lead. The Occupy member said he didn't see why Quanell X had to be in the front.
At the end of the event, people recognized Breitbart News' Brandon Darby and asked him to hang himself and directed numerous slurs toward him. The police had to intervene to keep Darby safe from the crowd.
Another journalist asked a question: "Would this be happening if Trayvon were white?" Upon asking the question this journalist was surrounded by many in the "Justice for Trayvon" crowd, who began to chant, "go away KKK."
The protesters accosting Darby and the other journalist were members of Occupy, not the New Black Panther Party.
Update: 6:45 PM EST: After what seems to be two miles of marching there are at least 400 people--the majority of whom are black and there are members of anarchy groups in the mix as well. At one point in the march someone standing along the side of the road held up a sign that said people in hoodies weren't welcome in his neighborhood.
Quanell X saw the sign but did nothing. Moments later the man was almost captured by others marching with the New black Panther Party before he narrowly escaped behind police lines.
The Houston Police are doing a great job. The march has been peaceful to his point.
