The poor public sector union workers, how dare Dem mayor demand they pay toward their pension and health care. That's unfair.

Justice Brother #2 has his bullhorn out!

What an absolute a**hat. African Americans, how do you like it that the media thinks Sharpton and Jackson speak for you? I'd be ashamed! They speak for your ethnic group as much as David Duke or Nazi Pelosi speak for my ethnic group. Which is to say: none at all.

Civil rights activist the Rev. Al Sharpton

Exactly what "civil right" is it that is being denied to anyone in New Haven that Al is yapping about this time?

No worries here, one word from Al and our newly elected governor will fold like a cheap suit. He’s a liberal anyway so any cuts he’s proposing will be window dressing and reversed in the next budget.

New Haven is a once-proud-now-hopeless liberal dump that the taxpaying middle class abandoned years ago. A ‘sanctuary city’, no less. Solidly Democrat. Al Sharpton’s presence assures that little will be done to help the people he purports to be so concerned about: well- compensated New Haven municipal employees, but Al will receive local and probably national news coverage, which is his real goal at all times.
