At first, the dancers were joyful, leaping in circles and wrapping in a bear hug the young man portraying slain 12-year-old Tamir Rice, who was shot to death by Cleveland police at a playground in November 2014.
But then the drumbeat turned staccato, his body jerked, and the other dancers rushed him in attack. He fell dead, his white shirt now smeared with black paint to symbolize bullets.
Tamir Rice's death unfolded Saturday afternoon in an interpretive dance by Black Lives Matter protesters inside the North Station concourse at the entrance to TD Garden, as Celtics fans streamed past. About 150 protesters had traveled from Park Street Station to the Garden, where the Celtics were playing, to protest last month's grand jury decision to not indict the police officer who shot Rice. The boy was holding a replica gun at the time.
"We're gathered here in TD Garden, a landmark of joy and play," shouted organizer Daunasia Yancey. "But our children can't play in peace. So they don't get no peace! Right?"
The crowd roared back, "Right!" and a chant began:
"No justice, no peace!"
The protest began around 12:30 p.m. at Park Street, as marchers gathered and three people on drums led the swelling group in singing "This little light of mine," and "Buffalo Soldier."
"We are out here because the white supremacist violent state keeps taking our people," Yancey told the crowd. "It's a new year, and we're not taking it anymore!"
People carried homemade signs, reading "Black Lives Matter," "#IndictAmerica," and "A society that will not protect its children is doomed."(snip)
The protest ended with a final chant:
"It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win," the marchers shouted in a call and response. "We must love and support one another. We have nothing to lose but our chains!"

Justice for thugs.
How about some justice for the 99.999% of blacks that are killed by other other blacks?
Is Black Lads Murder threatening non-violence?
Maybe if Blacks stopped glorifying the gangsta/thug sub-culture, things might change.
But I’ll likely be tagged a racist for saying such a thing.
if there is no peace, then there will be no peace
no peace, no peace
We need to end Black America’s addiction to welfare.
How did the protesters interpret the fake gun Tamir was waving around? That seemed to be a substantial element in the “original” play. Or, did they take some artistic license with this production?
BLM terrorists are outraged over black kids killed by white cops.
Black kids killed by black thugs? Silence.
Not all black lives matter to BLM terrorists.
If Tamir had a brain, he would have waved a real gun that had the end of the barrel painted daglo

If I wore a t-shirt reading “I [love] White People,” wouldn’t that be considered racist?
Take a normal black couple and have them walk through a rural, mainly white neighborhood.
Now take a normal white couple and have them walk through any inner city ghetto.
Who is most likely to get accosted?
Did the dance show him brandishing a realistic-looking weapon before being “gunned down for no reason?”
Here is a suggestion. Since desegregation doesn’t work (another liberal feel good program that created more problems than it solved) perhaps we should be looking at voluntary segregation. There are already neighborhoods that are culturally diverse. People should move to those areas and continue on with their lives. Black police, black doctors, black attorneys, black schools.
1. Looks to me like she loves the Captain Ahab’s Deep Fried All You Can Eat Fish Chunks Buffet to me.
2. Shouldn’t that shirt say, “I love african-American people”?
You know it’s “Do as I say, not as I do”, with liberals.
The white couple. Because racism.
Looting, rioting, murdering, selling drugs, and impregnating girls do not qualify as "play in peace."
I wonder if she ever looked at the statistics that show that the overwhelming majority of murders of blacks are committed by other blacks.
When will they ever learn?
