if some of the leaders, historians and/or descendants of people who lived through the last riots/destruction of Asbury, got some of the photos, blew them up, put them on the public places, and scanned them onto Facebook, etc., with a caption: “ been there, don’t want to do that, again !” ?

Wake up, grow up, and work together to preserve and protect, rather than tear down and obliterate!
They were violating curfew why mention they were part of a peaceful protest that ended way before 9:30? Whats your true agenda?
