Jesse Jackson's car stolen in Detroit

September 4, 2010

The Rev. Jesse Jackson found out just how rough things are in Detroit.

Several Detroit media outlets reported thieves stole Jackson’s ride — a 2009 Cadillac Escalade — from a parking lot near the city’s Doubletree Hotel.

The SUV was later recovered, but it was found without its rims and one of its windows had been broken, according to Detroit’s WXYZ-TV.

Jackson was in Detroit for a march and rally called “Rebuild America: Jobs, Justice and Peace.”

Just days after Jackson’s SUV was stolen, one of Detroit Mayor Dave Bing’s vehicles also went missing. The GMC Yukon Denali was later found resting on bricks, also missing its rims.

The irony in this is delicious. Yup, the homeies got a job(stealing cars) ‘’justice’’(as in “I’ll ‘’just’’ help myself to your car’’) and ‘’peace’’. Peace of mind(’cuz now I don’t have to walk, thanks Rev!’’).

It wasn’t stolen, it was redistributed.

Yeah, the hood was just trying to speed it up!

Ole Jessie should be proud of them. They spread some of HIS wealth around, without HIS permission. That’s what ole Jessie pushes.

Social justice = spread the wealth around through LAWS.

are filled with consternation
about my loss of transportation.
There will be celebration
and much libation
along with fornication
When I resume my agitation
and obfuscation"

A race pimp took somebody else’s money and bought an Escalade that was stolen by his constituency. There are days when the irony just drips off a story.........

The link from Drudge says Jesse was also in town to promote green jobs. Drove his gas guzzler SUV to promote green jobs.

Nice poem, but now you have to type it the way Jesse would deliver it. I can’t understand a darn thing he says.

How ironic that the Rev has his car stolen. No doubt by a bunch of white evangelical Christians.

...probably on their way home from the Glenn Beck rally.

What is up with the Amish? Every time something happens they seem to have their fingerprints all over it. Were they involved in the JFK assassination too?
