Local Man Protests Violence with 1 Man March |
|
By 5chw4r7z

Not wanting to be outdone by the Ammons United Methodist Church, downtown resident 5chw4r7z organized the 1 Man March last Thursday. As his wife went out with freinds to the The Bacchanalian Society wine tasting, He realized that nobody was going to do anything for him and he would be responsible for his own entertainment for the evening.
"I was one of those people who looked at the news as entertainment. I would turn it on every night to see if something had happened," 5chw4r7z said. But after seeing news of one shooting after another, he said, "I realized that one day that something that happens is going to be me landing in one of those boxes." So he organized a march to McFaddens to drink his blues away. While being wildly optomistic about getting enough particapation for the march he was surprised when he met the goal of having one old pasty white guy (himself) march to McFaddens and pound down brews all night.
"People have to get involved," he said. "It doesn't matter about race, about black and white. It's time for us to step up as men and take care of ourselves for a change."
