CHICAGO (AP) — The Rev. Jesse Jackson has challenged inmates at Cook County Jail to help get guns off the streets.

**SNIP**

He has delivered Christmas Day sermons at jails for years. He says the point is to inspire and invest in inmates so they don't return to jail.

Jackson also encouraged inmates to get tested for HIV, register to vote and pray for forgiveness.

First things first. Tha HIV stuff will kill ya.

Smartest person in the world, that Jesse Jagmo. Sharp as a tack.

Jesse Jackson to African Savannah lion prides:

“Please don’t eat anymore antelopes, zebras and buffalo!

The grass is quite tasty.”

Warden made a public address announcement to the inmates, "Laughter Off at 10 p.m."

Touching a gun will likely get your probation revoked or your parole violated.

Invest in inmates. What does he invest personally, besides speeches, this empty cassock?

The Rev. Jesse Jackson has challenged inmates at Cook County Jail to help get guns off the streets.

How?

[Patriot Babe]

Exactly! If these are inmates (Locked up in Jail), how are they suppose to remove guns off the street?, since they are off the streets too.

“Why we’ll be tickled to. We’ll keep them in our garages.”

Jesse showed them the newspaper article showing all the homes with registered firearms so they can break in and steal them..

Eask as taking candy from a baby (they think)

[berdie]

Although I despise the Rev. Jackson at least he is saying something positive for a change.

[shalom aleichem]

eask = easy

[wmileo]

By freeing them and having them go as a new army from house to house of honest law abiding citizens and taking them away, that is how.

[Blood of Tyrants]

He forgot to register them to vote.

[Windflier]

"...invest in inmates so they don't return to jail."

How bout de good revrend axing da sisters ta quit aborting their unborn chilren and for hem ta quit supporting politicians who beleb in aborting dem chilren.

[Morris70]
