IRVINGTON, N.J. (AP) — Six people face charges after an anti-violence rally in northern New Jersey allegedly turned into a melee.
Wednesday night’s march in Irvington — which was intended to honor two women who were fatally shot near a school in the Essex County community last week — began peacefully.
But Police Chief Michael Chase told The Star-Ledger of Newark that tempers flared when members of the Newark’s Anti-Violence Coalition tried to move the demonstration into the street, despite an officer’s warning to stay on the sidewalk.
Coalition member Bashir Akinyele claimed the group’s permit allowed them to block the intersection at Myrtle and Madison avenues. But Chase said it only allowed them onto the sidewalk.
The six people arrested face various charges, including obstruction of justice and resisting arrest. But one faces a charge of inciting a riot.

Posted on November 29, 2010 at 9:32amN. NJ has a history of civil disobedience?–huh! Why? Black Panther brothers, NAACP reps, African Americans as opposed to Americans, even some of the names of these people on film a very telling (not American) that they do not want to assimilate, protesters ON the street vs ON the sidewalk (police only trying to keep the people safe), and the last guy saying “We need to be on the ******* street!” Throughout the entire film this announcer keeps saying over and over ‘anti violence coalition’ as if to convince us they aren’t violent! NOT!
These people are nothing but violent and use the ‘victim’ card always as their defense. Get a life you morons. Stay inside where it’s warm. Pick up a good book say, the Bible, and read!

Posted on November 29, 2010 at 3:16pmAmen. Unfortunately I do think that some of these people are probably sincere but the power of the influences within their group defeats any meaningful effort to gain respect. The police are not their enemy, they are doing their job. It is easy to blame other people rather than to accept responsibility for ones actions. This is another method being used to divide the races. Many of these people are poor and volnerable to the pressure to remain true to their race.
