To whoever is touring Columbia's campus as a potential place for your son or daughter, do not come here. Your child's detergent is not safe. And he/she will be going to school with malicious opportunists who have no class and no respect."

People incensed about the Sean Bell shooting held their "Day of Outrage" protest on Wall Street today. Joe went down and got a nice set of shots.





Hey, make a bigger sign and maybe people will listen.
Seriously, if these people were doing anything else besides making this a white against black thing and letting the process happen (investigation) maybe I'd take them seriously. As it is they would be more productive telling kids to stay in school and cleaning up their hoods.
Maybe all the Wall St people should go protest where these people work, you know, the service jobs made possible by the long hours these crackers put in at the office.
Oh yeah...those places probably don't exist.
#1 enemy is stupidity and these people are losing that battle.
detergent-stealing seriously:
who the hell walks around with a year-supply of detergent?
I love detergent.
They should protest their crime infested hoods
where people get killed and mugged everyday.
The police is not going to take chances in that kind of atmosphere,they will shoot to kill.
If this was a safe area ,no one would have been shot.
I would like to know what these guys were doing for a living-crack dealers?
Between women dying putting on makeup while driving and kids stabbing each other to death over some (likely dumbass) tv show, i'm about to get my tubes tied.
