this is an accurate description of a fun event, but it leaves out something terrible that happened..several people were pepper sprayed when the cops returned and drove forcefully into the crowd. i know i am not the only person that got sprayed, yet no one seems to have mentioned it . what’s up, molly?

Yes! This spontaneous celebration of the people, by the people, for the people born of relief and deep hope and grand diversity is something I have not often seen in my 58 years! May we all take that energy of spirit and jubilation and focus it on the work we can each to for each other!

Funny, when we did the same thing at the RNC, we got pepper sprayed, tear gassed, and entrapped by the police. Ah, those were the days.

Just compare the amazing difference between the (normal, reasonable) way that PEACE OFFICERs reacted to this exhuberant crowd of people exercising their first amendment rights and what happened when the various law enforcement agencies and “Dept of Homeland Security” planned to to stop citizens from trying to do the same thing during the RNC by the “terrorizing of dissent.”

I was there, and it was awesome. The punks and the Somalis need to get together and that would really be something.

Molly,

This is a great piece about the great, ever-vibrant West Bank, and the diaspora of cultures together. Thanks for the images. I wish I had been there.
