Black Lives Matter Protests Continues
On June 2, 2015 there was a Black Lives Matter protest in front of City Hall Worcester where protesters talked with passers-by, held signs, and gave out flyers. One of the people taking a flyer was an assistant to the City Manager who immediately went back into City Hall. The flyer said that the following:
1. End racist police killing of unarmed people
2. End the political intimidation and malicious prosecution of civil rights advocates
3. Transparency regarding Worcester Police misconduct
4. End the school to jail pipeline
Some of the protesters'signs read “Black (all) Lives Matter" and “Jobs – yes, Racist Cops – No “
There were protesters from Massachusetts Human Rights Commission, Progressive Labor Party, Socialist Alternative, and others unaffiliated from the community. The
After about a half hour the small group of Black Lives Matter protesters began their march to the Korean War Memorial. On their way there the protesters blocked the entrance of the Worcester City Hall garage. Their action was more of symbolic gesture as no cars attempted to enter the garage in the approximately four and one-minutes they in front of the garage.
At the corner of Foster and Front Sts. the protesters spread out on two sides and held their signs and waving at the numerous cars and buses that passed by. Some of the motorists seemrd to honk their horns in support of the protesters and a few motorists asked for flyers.
After another half an hour the group split into two. One part marched back to City Hall via Franklin St. and the second part marching to City Hall via Front St.
Shouldn't you folks be protesting at the Telegram? One of your most outspoken supporters, Carlo Baldino, just got banned from posting comments. All of Mr. Baldino's comments got deleted, even stuff from week's ago. You should at least invite him here to give his side of the story.
