And Al’s “thesis” was Tawana Brawley.

Wouldn't say that ~ it was well lighted and well protected. Had their very own undercover cop there ~ and everybody knew it.

Just a guy and some buds down for a bachelor party, and a pretty tame one at that.

If he'd wanted to go to a hellhole they do have some in that area, but the fellows downtown at police headquarters wouldn't have risked having one of their college educated patrolmen in it ~ he could have gotten hurt.

Yup, all ~ the shooters and their victims. The use of the term “hispanic” is an add-on ~ not an exclusivity sort of thing.

Sharpton is a Right to Life sort of guy. He talks that way. So do we.

The Reverend Al is wrong in his personal relationships, his adherence to the Democratic party, and his understanding of who is grinding black people into the pavement ~ but he is not wrong on the life and death issues around us.

What relevance to this trial did that story have?

Three of them were the primary shooters ~ we know who hit who and how many rounds each person fired. On-lookers or the guys who missed weren’t on trial.

As I have stated I live in New York, specifically Queens County, why would you wish a riot to happen, careless thinking on your part. What do you wish me and my family to have our heads bashed in?????? Or do you thrive on the misery of others?/Just Asking - seoul62......

Lou Dobbs had Curtis Sliwa on last night. It has been a while since I have seen Sharpton torn a new one on cable news. Dobbs did not have to encourage Sliwa much for Sliwa to give viewers some of the truths about Rev. Al. Personally, I have been sickened on how much respect Sharpton has gotten on cable news lately.

Which case are you talking about? This is the "bridgroom" thing. None of the targets were armed. Most of the shooting was done by one officer, but the Undercover guy got in 11 rounds, all on target. Guess that happens when you stand on the hood and shoot down through the window into the target.

Run over? On top the hood? Irreconcilable issues ~

There's even some confusion regarding who the cops were shooting at ~ some of them seemed to be of the impression the guy who was the undercover cop was one of the bad guys. His own testimony about where he was at what time tends to dovetail with the supposed sighting of a "fourth person". He's lucky he didn't get hit.

Regarding the "whiteness" of a person of Lebanese ancestry, some are certainly considered "white" and some are certainly considered "non-white" ~ depends on the time of day, social circumstances, etc. Folks in that part of the world have been bringing in African slaves for thousands and thousands of years.

Oh, yeah, and the SUV part of the story. In the "bridegroom case" the COPS own the SUV, their targets are in a sedan. The story you are trying to insert has the targets with the SUV, and the cops in a sedan or on foot.

That's enough difference anyone could easily differentiate between the two stories. The "Arabs with machinegun case" has nothing to do with this one.

Yes, the Reverend Al is the very last Right To Life Democrat in America!

Except for his troubles with IRS we had a chance to convert him to Republican interests this election year.

Me too. Sharpton is almost a regular on FOX and he popps up on other channels also. He has no credibility. Why bother inviting him?

The other thing, the Revrend Al is one of the smartest Democrats you could have around ~ he knows the issues. Your typical Dem politician doesn't know the issues. All she's interested in is power. Al isn't going to be given power by anyone anytime soon so he's had to bother to follow the issues a bit closer.

Doesn't mean we need to like the guy, but it's better to have Rev Al than let's say Rev Wright!

I live in NY as well. No I do not wish for your head or your family’s heads to be bashed in. Depending on who it is, I may thrive on their misery, if they bring it on themselves.

If he’s the “last Right to Life” democrat why isn’t he “protesting” the fact that 1/3 of abortions are black babies???? Where is his anger for them?

He can feel for the death of a thug but not the unborn?
