Sharpton to "SHUT DOWN" New York City

Excerpts - the rest here:

The "Reverend," Asshat Racebaiter Sharpton, was present to ensure justice is done and to collect any loose money.

NEW YORK (AP) - Hundreds of angry people marched through Harlem on Saturday after the Rev. Al Sharpton promised to "close this city down" to protest the acquittals of three police detectives in the 50-shot barrage that killed a groom on his wedding day and wounded two friends. Yes -- often the police fire 50-bullet barrages by mistake. You know -- you're playing with your gun and then, all-the-sudden -- bang bang bang - it's going off -- it's outta control.

"We strategically know how to stop the city so people stand still and realize that you do not have the right to shoot down unarmed, innocent civilians," Sharpton told an overflow crowd of several hundred people at his National Action Network office in the historically black Manhattan neighborhood. "This city is going to deal with the blood of Sean Bell." Uh-huh -- but is it ok for the police to shoot armed, guilty, serial criminals if they bash into cars and try to run them over after they were told to stop? The Klown (and the jury) says yes. (Excerpt from wcbstv.com - Defense attorneys had said there was evidence that Bell was drunk and "out of control" when he left the club. Witnesses overheard Bell exchange curses with another patron, and heard one of the passengers in the car, Joseph Guzman, who was also shot, say to someone, "Go get my gat," slang for gun. They had also argued Bell had tried to run over Isnora with his car. The rest here:)

Sharpton was joined by the family of 23-year-old Sean Bell - a black man - and a friend of Bell who was wounded in the 2006 shooting outside a Queens strip club. Two of the three officers charged were also black.

Sharpton urged people to return for a meeting this coming week "to plan the day that we will close this city down" with the kind of "massive civil disobedience" once led by Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. More here:

I love how this guy is constantly invoking the name of MLK to justify his stupid actions. For many years now, I've noticed lots of peeps (mostly jourrrrrnalists and activists) invoke words like MLK, Child Abuser, Hitler, Rape, Genocide, Greedy-Evil-Rich (henceforth, I shall call them the "Greevil Rich), etc etc to try to set the stage for whatever crap they're pushing. Usually, it's ridiculous exaggeration of their situation but nobody ever questions it. It's hysterical to me -- and I think it explains a lot of my contempt for the sheep.

If you've forgotten what happinked in this case, here is a brief overview.

At the time Bell was holding his bachelor party at Kalua Cabaret, a venue ("venue" -- lmao -- and, as Wombat pointed out, the media always breezes past the fact that this is a STRIP CLUB - so I shall help them out for the rest of the article) that was being investigated by seven undercover police detectives. The owners of the club (TITTY BAR) had been repeatedly accused of fostering prostitution.

The New York Post reported that, according to an unnamed undercover officer, Guzman had an argument inside the club (STRIP CLUB WITH HOOKERS) with a woman and threatened to get a gun. One of Bell's friends was heard to say "yo, get my gun" as they left the scene(OF TOPLESS DANCERS) Fearing a shooting was in the making, the Undercover Detective followed them to their car while alerting his Backup team that they were possibly retrieving a gun from the car, prompting the team to confront Bell and his companions before they could leave the scene (STRIP CLUB.) The undercover officer followed the group and Bell was ordered by the officer to raise his hands after getting in his car. Instead, Bell accelerated the car and seconds later hit an unmarked police minivan. A toxicology report reportedly showed that he was legally drunk at the time of the shooting.

Bell held odd jobs after the birth of his daughter. His fiancée, Nicole Paultre, told Larry King that Bell was an electrician by trade and in between jobs when the shooting occurred. Bell had been arrested three times, twice for drug dealing and once for a firearms possession. In all cases, he was released on his own recognizance. The New York Daily News reported that, according to unnamed law enforcement sources, Bell sold crack cocaine twice to a confidential police informant in August of 2006. Joseph Guzman and Trent Benefield, who were also shot in the incident, had been arrested nine and three times, respectively, each having been arrested at least once for illegal firearm possession. Benefield was subsequently arrested during a gambling raid in Harlem after attending the funeral of James Brown, and again on September 25, 2007 for hitting his child's mother. His latter arrest resulted in him pleading guilty on October 12, 2007 to a lesser charge, and accepting a conditional discharge along with counseling.

By the way - I went to the Family's website. They are accepting contributions.

UPDATE: - LMAO

I'm not going to take the time to explain this -- you either get it or you don't.

Limbaugh vows to close down New York City!!

Actually it is Al Sharpton and Limbaugh has yet to comment on it, But since this is just how the Denver riots brouhaha got started, I believe that if Limbaugh goes on the air Monday and says that he hopes that they follow through, our local libs will again unleash their foam-flecked bile, ignore Sharpton’s role again and try to place all the blame on Limbaugh.

Actually I hope that he does. Limbaugh realizes that liberals are so predictable, that he can simply express a desire that they do what they are claiming that they plan to do and they will expose themselves as the fever swamp dwellers that they are.
