A fight broke out during a rally meant to oppose violence in the city of Newark. Two rival groups got into a fistfight. The photo header shows a fight between Tyrone Barnes and Abdul Mohammed, with other photos following.

The fight was covered by NJ.com, which authorities say happened without a permit. "For all intents and purposes, this hurt the possibility that Newark can have in addressing this problem once and for all. Until there's some sense of a unified front among the leaders, there's never going to be an impact on the people at large."

Mohammed is a former Newark city employee and was reported as the instigator. He is reported as a "long-time anti-violence activist."

Salaam Ismial, the co-chair of the New Jersey Study Commission on Violence, said that the fight should not detract from the message of stopping violence.

You have to get a permit to fight in NJ? Who writes this stuff?

The judge he felt kind of sore. He said he reckoned a body could reform the old man with a shotgun, maybe, but he didn’t know no other way.

Wondering if Mohammed is the one in red or the one on his back...I'm guessing the one in red.

There are two violence-prone certified victim groups. They are unable to live peacefully in civilization. When there are two or more of them they revert back to their savage ways.

In this case the instigator belongs to both groups.
