CA: Peace Rally Ends With Fight Among Students
KNBC 4 LA ^ | 5/18/05 | various

Posted on 05/19/2005 10:45:20 AM PDT by BurbankKarl

A peace rally ended in violence Wednesday afternoon at a Los Angeles high school.

A fight occurred at Thomas Jefferson High School during a community-sponsored effort to create a human chain as a show of unity. Police broke up the confrontation involving students.

Authorities said four students were taken into custody. One student was arrested on charges of resisting arrest.

Police said the fight stemmed from a dispute involving a stolen cell phone.

The protest was in response to a rash of violence at the school.

"It is a demonstration for peace," said resident Zeetta Williams. "It's about us, as parents, coming out here to show that leadership starts with us."

School officials said they are doing everything they can to ease racial tensions at the school.

Reality has a beautiful way of stating the blatantly obvious. While sentimentalist dipsh@ts sigh and swoon over peace rallies such as this, the true nature of the SCUM they are and represent can't help itself and gushes out like a stopped-up toilet. Wake up(!!) decent America - and fight back like an outraged saber tiger.

You can forgive this young student on forgetting he actually already is in Mexico.

How about, "Visualize world peace or I'll kick your ass!"

Worse than violence on a school campus. This insensitive, intolerant student brought a sign with the word GOD onto school grounds!

The ACLU needs to be contacted, and this student expelled. There is no excuse for such behaviour.

"It is a demonstration for peace," said resident Zeetta Williams.

She would be the leader of ACORN but the have her identified as "a resident".

ACORN leader Zeetta Williams presented a list of demands to elected officials regarding Wells Fargo, including more action on behalf of the Attorney General’s office whose representative was in attendance.
