Al Sharpton Condemns 'Knockout' Attacks
New York Post ^ | 11/23/2013 | George Roberts & Michael Gartland

Rev. Al Sharpton condemned “knockout” attacks Saturday but stopped short of calling for marches against the brutal hate crimes.

“Kids are randomly knocking out people [from] another race — some specifically going at Jewish people,” he said. “This kind of insane thuggery — there is nothing cute about that. There is no game play about knocking somebody out, and it is not a game. It is an assault and is bias, and it is wrong.”

Critics of Sharpton suggested he could do more, but acknowledged his words as a “good start.”

Al “Jew them down” Sharpton makes a statement against attacks on Jewish people? He’s still a bigot and uses bigoted language.

This was covered last night at 11pm on the NBC station in Atlanta, Channel 11. Not once was it mentioned that this is almost exclusively a black on white crime. They might as well not even have wasted the time. Of course Sharpton didnt mention race either.

Unfortunately, these feral, Trayvon wannabes have no clue who Al Sharpton is and don’t care what he says. They’re going to have their “fun” and continue making their YouTube clips.

I was looking for a John Semmens byline to go with the heading. If Sharpton actually condemned ANYTHING coming out of the feral youth in the African American community, that’s positive progress.

Saint Trayvon’s girlfriend said that Zimmerman should’ve just accepted his beatdown.

The president has not condemned the hateful filmmakers behind these youtube videos, not as when he condemned a short film about a warlord named Mohammed.

“We would not be silent if it was the other way around. We cannot be silent or in any way reluctant to confront it when it is coming from our own community.”

Was this a difficult decision for him to make?

Once there was a woman with two sons.

One went to sea and one became an MSNBC host.

Neither was ever heard from again.

I’m sure he has some ulterior motive.

He’s so concerned about the Jews now? Geez, you’d think there was an important Congressional election coming up and the blacks have to make nice for the Jews so they’ll vote for the Democrats - again.

As long as it is against just-white Christians, it’s okay then.

Well, we can all breathe a sigh of relief now. I assume the attacks will stop right away now that Al told them to stop.
