In March 2011 Quanell X traveled to Cleveland , Texas to support 18 men allegedly involved in the gang rape of an 11-year-old girl . Quannell X spoke out against the victim , claiming she did not do enough to prevent herself from being gang raped . He later went on to claim the girl 's parents were also responsible for her assault : " It was not the young girl that yelled rape . Stop right there -- something is wrong , brothers and sisters . " and " Where was the mother ? Where was the father ? " On August 1 , 2011 , Quanell X pleaded with the residents of inner city neighborhoods to stop the " No Snitching " policy that institutes a bias of those who provide information to police after a series of crimes and murders have plagued the Third Ward area in recent weeks . He said , " The no-snitch policy does not work when you have having our elders and our women and our children live like hostages . " In July 2013 , Quanell and others protested and effectively blocked Texas State Highway 288 over the acquittal in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin . Protesters on Highway 288 blocked and assaulted an elderly woman who was rushing her granddaughter to the hospital after an allergic reaction to medication . A large protest was also held in the affluent River Oaks neighborhood . Reports varied as to whether there were just under 1,000 or more than 1,000 people attended the River Oaks demonstration and a counter-demonstration drew an estimated crowd of 80 people . Despite threats of violence , both sides kept their peace
