NEWARK - A skirmish broke out between rival activists on the steps of City Hall Wednesday during what had been intended as a demonstration against violence in Newark.
Police were called to the scene after a small crowd began arguing over escalating violence and the city's attempts to curb it.
The noon press conference was called by a group of activists led by Salaam Ismial, co-chair of the New Jersey Study Commission on Violence, and Abdul Muhammad, a longtime Newark anti-violence activist. In a release announcing the event, the two said they planned to ask Mayor Ras Baraka to "unleash his quality of life plan in addressing ongoing violence facing Newark residents."

If someone grabs you by the throat, immediately break their fingers. Unless you have trained how to use your throat muscles to protect your trachea, you can be seriously and potentially fatally injured in seconds.

In an interview after the event, Ismail said he hoped his group's message would not be lost due to the physical altercation. Nah, just because a fight broke out among the leaders at a non-violence rally, why would you think the message would be lost?
I actually had to check to make sure this wasn't from April 1st of some year.

“Iâm noticing more and more that these east coast swamps are being led by âfolksâ with muslim names.”
They think it’s cool to be Muslim——like the former Cassius Clay and the former Lew Alcindor.

Maybe it was really peaceful because no one got their head chopped off.
