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.

If he’s a religious man then zebras fly out of my ass! Ain’t seen one yet!

So he’s gonna send them out in the streets to confiscate guns?
Criminals are always happy to disarm innocent citizens.
I am sure they will be very helpful and cooperative.
Armed citizens make their career choice potentially very dangerous, you know.
Phony Revs should not give sermons.
Or even better, he could ask them to stop having babies with multiple baby daddies out of wedlock.
To stop supporting Dems? That’s a tall order. Even for the Rev. Jackson.
Black pastors are great at getting people to pray for forgiveness, but I hardly ever hear them tell their congregation to ask for forgiveness from those they’ve wronged and try and make amends.
Incomplete gospel is essentially non-existent gospel.
Even a Hallmark card would have a better chance at saying something that made sense.
I guess he didn’t want a white audience.
How irrelevant is the Revvum Jassacks these days?
Well, the literal gospel is to be forgiven and go and “sin no more” / “stop sinning” / “leave your life of sin” [pick your preferred accurate translation of the Greek]. Amends may appear, and a sincere believer would want to make amends anyhow, but God has the right and power to forgive with or without that. God’s only truly invariable purpose in forgiving sin, is that the sin will end.
Felons can't vote....unless they are Dims
Positively stupid.....
Free the inmates so they can do Jesse’s bidding.
Get tested for HIV, register to vote and pray for forgiveness.
Not too stupid and very different from his usual drivel. Especially the last part.
Democrats created 40+ years of welfare checks and hopelessness among minorities and others in exchange for votes. They see the nice things others have and the only way to get it is through crime due to a lack of education and incentive. Fix the problem you helped create Jesse.
The guy is a stain...A shake-down artist...
And seriously not genuine..As his past attests.
“If you are a felon...you can’t vote”
This is true.
But if I understand the article he was preaching at a jail (unconvicted people) not a prison (convicted people).
I completely agree with your assessment of Jackson (and his brother in arms Sharpton).
My point being..for a change he wasn’t spouting his usual “the man is keeping you down”..”you have to rise up against the man” bs. It actually seemed he was calling for a tiny amount of personal responsibility.
