Terry Jones' March Cut Short in Dearborn, Mich.; Six Protesters Arrested for Blocking Jones' Way

The Huffington Post website reports that Florida pastor Terry Jones -- famous for burning a Quran -- took part in a demonstration in Dearborn, Michigan this afternoon (June 17, 2011) that was cut short, after a mob rushed him on his way to the Arab International Festival.

Jones' original plan was to march down Schaefer Road to speak at the Arab International Festival after he and several of his supporters spoke at Dearborn City Hall.

That plan ended when Jones' march was met in the streets with dozens of hostile protesters led by the activist group BAMN -- By Any Means Necessary.

Dearborn police worked to quell the unrest -- they made six arrests -- and pushed Jones and his supporters into a police vehicle. Jones canceled the remainder of his protest, at the advice of the police.
