Sharpton Outlines Day Of Disobedience
NEW YORK - The Rev. Al Sharpton has announced a day of civil disobedience against the Sean Bell verdict. Sharpton spoke Saturday at his Harlem headquarters, before a solidarity march.
He has promised to "close this city down" to protest the April 25 acquittals of three police detectives in the 50-shot barrage that killed the unarmed Bell on his wedding day in 2006. Two friends were wounded.
For the massive pray-in, Sharpton is asking protesters to gather Wednesday at 3 p.m. in six places around the city. The protesters will fan out to locations Sharpton would not disclose.

"He said that the planned pray-in is only the start of whatever actions are necessary to oppose the verdict. "
"He said he hopes protesters get arrested while on their knees praying."

I guess we all will see just what develops over the next few days.
DSTCHAOS-for so many reasons, I do hope that your thoughts/beliefs are correct.

I am hoping for peace.
However, I do fear that something else will take its place.

GOOD!

This prayer protest has been all over the media so people who don't have their heads in their asses should've known there would be disruption. But...where's the riot resulting from the terrorist threat?
