"Fight breaks out at Newark anti-violence rally"

A skirmish broke out between rival activists on the steps of City Hall Wednesday during what had been intended as a demonstration against violence in Newark, several witnesses who attended the rally confirmed.

Police were called to the scene after a small crowd began arguing over escalating violence and the city's attempts to curb it, witnesses said.

The noon press conference was called by a group of activists led by Salaam Ismial, co-chair of the New Jersey Study Commission on Violence, and Abdul Muhammad, a longtime Newark anti-violence activist. In a release announcing the event, the two said they planned to ask Mayor Ras Baraka to "unleash his quality of life plan in addressing ongoing violence facing Newark residents."

It's supposed to be ironic but alas it cannot be. Beseeching the agency invested with lawful violence IS promoting violence upon your fellow citizen and not to promoting anti-violence as the titles lie and frustrated they'll have their violence directly right there on the steps. Irony fail. It's not even ironic that it is so immediate. Salaam and Abdul, begin with lying names, Salaam is obeisance and peace, Abdul is servant of the praised, duke it out, Boys, you needn't any government for this.

That's some lethal combination: black and muslim. Did you know that a black muslim just burned down the mosque he attended? Blamed whitey infidel? Got caught only because of a video camera? MSM killed that story quick.
