This letter is in response to the illegal demonstration at the intersection of E. College Ave. and S. Garner St. that was held Wednesday the 15th.

I find it difficult to understand why these protesters were actually escorted by State College police. Instead of breaking up the illegal demonstration, police rerouted traffic away from the protesters.

Do racism protesters have certain legal immunities that bar them from the law? Or maybe the police fear they will be deemed racist for dispersing such and illegal demonstration.

Are we to accept the enforcement of the law or the nonenforcement of the law, as the case may be, based on the race of the law-breakers?

And if these laws are going to be segregated by race, how can this be fair? Shouldn't laws be enforced uniformly to all on a fair basis? If I'm not mistaken, wasn't segregation by race what began the black movement, remember, Rosa Parks?

I also find it quite outrageous that the protesters went to the cultural center and quote "denied access to press and the people who are not members of their community, saying they needed unity and collective consciousness to achieve their goals."

Martin Luther King seeked unity also, but on quite a different scale. He seeked unity of a nation, not any particular race. He understood the only way to lend any type of prejudice treatment is to realize that we need to unite as a whole.

By attempting to set themselves apart from the whole these protesters are bringing more prejudice upon themselves.

I don't necessarily feel that the demonstrators are wrong for protesting in what they believe in, but I do feel it's wrong to do it illegally. And I also believe that by not enforcing the laws that govern such protests uniformally is a tragic injustice.

If these protesters want serious attention and consideration of their views, they should go about it in a legal method and include everyone who desires to belong to their cause.

And for those who are following this cause, don't follow blindly, know what you stand for, for if you don't you may be supporting the rope around your own neck.
