...looks like a replay of the days of the Civil Rights Movement Protests in the Southern States of America in the 1960s...(or in apartheid South Africa) ...tens of thousands of Guyanese living in the USA, now benefit from the sacrifices - in many cases the ULTIMATE sacrifice - of hundreds and thousands of PROTESTORS, including American Hero The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jnr., Rev Jessie Jackson, Medger Evers, Rosa Parks and many others....we Guyanese can ride any bus in the United States without the indignity of having to take the back seats...now in our own country we have (or trying) to turn back the clock to the dark days of Colonial rule. This photo is so pathatic. Ironically, a very good shot by my favourite lady Ms Anjuli Persaud. I hope that it will be kept in the SN archives for future generations to see what transpired in Guyana in 2012.

What a foolish comment.If Martin Luther King and Jessie Jackson are your heroes you are very desperate......and i'm a black man.I know my history and i think for myself.I do not buy into hype.You need to know the difference between civil rights and lawlessness.Because of the total disregard for life in Guyana the police force need to always be fully armed with real bullets and get rid of this childish water canon.Let me end by saying there is a fine line between civil rights and lawlessness.Opportunists usually cross and blur that line then cry foul.This is what happens when you do not think,see and act for yourself.
