And the matter still gets turned around onto the cops once again.

and I really hate to bring it up...but...
How quickly people forget....
20,000 went to Jena 6 ( a town of 5,000) and shut the town down....no arrests (except for the idiot with a noose in a truck try to incite a riot) altho some assumed that it would turn into a riot.
I can't say that the same will happen in NYC but one should not assume that a riot will happen !

There are still some people who would be quick to call those that went to Jena 'terrorists' because of thier actions I had a nice heated debate with one of those loonies a few weeks ago) ...last time I checked the Constituion still allowed for people to assemble peacefully...hehe

Hey...Jena was perfect for the small businessperson who made tshirts and dinner plates.
Unfortunately the larger point can be lost on many when some of the Jena 6 appear to be idiots.
I want another Million Man March and a Million Family March. And a Get On the Bus 2008 while we're at it.

Probably by the same people who thought the Rodney King riot was a peaceful protest gone sour. "See?! You people can't get together in peaceful protest if you tried!!"
On another note, there have been a lot of race riots in this nation's great history. It's crazy. And a lot of race protests.

Nittany, I didn't see anything indicating that Jon was in favor of infringing on the right to assemble.
But one could make the argument that Sharpton's comments could have been made more..."responsibly" I suppose. I don't find his comments reckless, but others could probably argue a similar point with some success.
He is a leader (to some) in a volatile situation, and he'd be well served by choosing his words carefully. Maybe he has. I don't expect people to riot over this, but anytime this much emotion is involved, there is a threat. Thus, I think it should be expected that anyone speaking publicly on such a matter should be cautious, unless they're indifferent to the result.
