Amplifier Gives Group Unfair Advantage in Debate

(CLICK TO ENLARGE) A man waves his cane and, with unaided voice, yells apparent words from the Koran in an effort to counter arguments spewed by the fellows with the battery-powered amplifier behind him. The un-amplified man shouted for about 30 seconds before giving up and walking away, while the group with the amplifier advantage blared for four hours. The exchange happened Saturday, Dec. 30 at H and 8th Streets NE. (Copyright © 2006. David Klavitter)
