There’s a shocker. The most dangerous place to be is an anti-violence rally in an urban area. The 2nd most dangerous place is on an erupting volcano.

Gunplay seems to be standard party fare in some neighborhoods.

Kind of like the "teen parties" and middle-school graduation "parties" that always seem to make the news around here.

Usually they produce at least one corpse or one claim of police brutality.

Paterson is an urban hell hole that could use a cluster bombing or two.

Amazing! I would think that this sort of thing only happens at those hate filled, racist, violent, TEA Party gatherings. Do you suppose the media is HIDING something from us?! :-)

From Wiki:

"Every summer, Patersonians enjoy an African-American Day Parade, a Dominican Day Parade, a Puerto Rican Day Parade, a Peruvian Day Parade, and a Turkish-American Day Parade.

Isnt diversity a wonderful thing?
