Happiness is not a matter of intensity
but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony.

Protesting in Claremont


I am a brand new member of the board of Progressive Christians Uniting. We had a meeting today in Pasadena. I got home around 1 p.m. and drove past the Neo-Nazi protest on the corner of Indian Hill and Foothill Blvds. About 30 people of the Neo-Nazi group called the National Socialist Movement stood on the northwest corner calling out messages of white supremacy. They were completed surrounded by police.

Police were keeping watch from the top of the bank across the street.

The other corners of that intersection were full of counter protesters.

I read on KPCC's website that 200 to 300 people rallied at Memorial Park four blocks away for: social justice, love and intercultural understanding. By the time I drove away there were six people at the park. I was so glad to hear there had been more earlier in the day.
