More Rumble in the Jungle from the Anti-Gun peoplezz
The route of today's student march against illegal guns in the City of Poughkeepsie has been changed because of wet conditions at Waryas Park, where the event was supposed to end. Mayor John Tkazyik said events planned for the park instead would be held at Poughkeepsie High School. He said students would march from the school on Forbus Street at 2:15 p.m. to the 400 block of Main Street, where a Newburgh man was shot and killed early Sunday morning. Marchers will pause where the shooting took place before walking back to the high school. Students last year marched from the high school to Waryas for an afternoon of activities . Today's events are part of the Society At War Against Illegal Guns program, or SWAG. It is run by the mentoring groups Brother 2 Brother and Sister 2 Sister from the high school.
