No Option: Part Two

The conclusion of No Option: The Gorsuch Avenue Trash Uprising. In the aftermath of a highly publicized demonstration, Mayor Martin O'Malley defends his administration, police make arrests, and local activist David Bramble finally sees the payoff for eight years of work.
On a Baltimore public affairs radio show, Mayor Martin O'Malley reacts to the events at Gorsuch and Harford Road, police detectives make a visit to ACORN headquarters, and David Bramble makes one more call to City Hall.

Organizers Phil Andrews and Sultan Shakir receive their day in court (sort of) and David Bramble awakes to a flurry of activity in the abandoned lot next door.

In the end, Andrews and Shakir have their charges dropped in exchange for eight hours of community service. Six months after the Uprising, the empty lots and alleys of David Bramble's neighborhood remain clean.
