Anti-gun Flash Mob Leaves its Mark on Newark Park

Art Meets Flash Mob, The Impact of Gun Violence Performance at Washington Park

The Art=Ammo flash mob laid down its anti-gun message this afternoon at a Newark park, where more than a dozen volunteers sprawled on the ground as others traced their outlines in chalk, leaving behind a macabre crime-scene collage meant to call attention to gun violence. 

"We think it's really important that people be able to visualize the effects of gun violence," said Nikio Bocour, a project coordinator for Ceasefire New Jersey, who helped organize the event in conjunction with Manhattan-based Art=Ammo.

  3. I have to wonder how the city would have responded if a group favoring gun rights had done this? Did these knuckleheads have a permit for a protest? They certainly were disrupting the peace.
