This year Williamsburg has seen its fair share of stabbings and shootings, and in light of that "a number of local politicians and churches are sponsoring a prayer rally and concert to protest the recent spate of violence in the Southside." One of the latest crimes took place over the East River recently at the daylight drenched hour of 4:45 p.m. The Brooklyn Paper reported that "a gun-toting thug tried to mug a 28-year-old man as he walked across the Williamsburg Bridge on July 24, but the courageous victim wrestled the firearm away." The rally will take place tomorrow, August 2nd, at 5 p.m. at Continental Plaza on Roebling and S. 5th Street.

Note to Williamsburg: You are in New York. No you are NOT different from the rest of the city. Pray as much as you want, but the Lord shant help those who deem themselves to be 'Hip' when they are not.
Hipsters rallying -- I'd like to see that
Yes, typical "illusion of accomplishment" worthless answer to a real problem. A prayer rally to combat economic devastation and class warfare?
"Those mean ol drug dealers just don't understand about the power of love! Let's all give them a Care-Bear Stare!"
After this accomplishes nothing, they should try try wishing the bullets and stab wounds away.
Take a Bible and a baseball bat...
wtf is wrong with you people? figures you would bring HIPSTERS into this. idiots.
"Who wants pizza?"
Hipster-bashing is the dullest of Internet sports.
Look for more marches like this after the pool reopens!
