Fight at Newark 'Anti-Violence' Rally
The Pundit Press ^ | December 31, 2015 | Thoma

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.

Wait a minute, the fight needed a permit, what?

A permit and the pay-per-view rights should be secured.

Anti-violence activists remind me of what Chris Rock said about Martin Luther King Boulevard. If you see one, you know there is some violence going on nearby.

Since we have only about 9 more hours to go I’m sure you’re right.
