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.
