I'm not sure if you were
Submitted by Chris (not verified) on Mon, 04/21/2008 - 2:58pmI'm not sure if you were responding to me (the second comment) or the first commenter.
I was referring to the march itself, yes. I enjoyed the first part, the stationary part at 6th & Market. I thought the speakers had some great things to say, things that I personally found inspiring.
What aggravated me the most about the entire thing was not the event itself, but the total lack of major media coverage in Philly. I can't say I'm surprised at all, but isn't the point of a demonstration to get the public and the state's attention? It's not necessarily the participants' fault - it's obvious that the police and media are responsible for the blackout. I don't have any suggestions. I'm just complaining without any answers, that's right. All I'm saying is that something needs to change - this did nothing but satisfy those people already involved in the Free Mumia movement.
I never said I was doing anything that was more effective than this demonstration. Which is why I'm not sure if you were directing your comment towards me or not.
