This was a great history of this event. This isn't the only time Sharpton was involved in mob violence and death. Howard Beach, Freddie,s Fashion Mart, Tawana Brawley. I glad that there are people reminding others of the history of destruction and racism Rev Al has.

I never thought Dinkins intentionally didn't protect the Jews. If you remember, he was the biggest do nothing Mayor ever. Just like Obummer and Golf, Dinkins was always playing Tennis. A real affirmative action hire.

Just like Zero, Dinkins was not overly fond of causasians or Jews.

During the Crown Heights Riot, Dinkins stood on the stairs of a police temporary headquarters vehicle and addressed the several hundred police officers who were there for roll call. He stated the reason he had not allowed the police to stop the rioters was that “the community needed to be allowed to vent”.

Had to check Wikipedia to see what Tawana has been up to lately... no surprises.

Brawley has maintained she did not invent the story; in a 1997 appearance, she still had supporters.[31] In November 2007, Brawley’s stepfather and mother, in a 20th anniversary feature for the New York Daily News, contended the attack happened. “How could we make this up and take down the state of New York? We’re just regular people,” Glenda Brawley said, adding, “We should be millionaires.” They said they had asked New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo and Governor Eliot Spitzer to reopen the case. They also said that Brawley, who has converted to Islam, would speak at any legal proceedings

I lived in NJ at the time, and followed this closely. The cops had legions of mounted and armored, shield-bearing cops ready to kick ass and take names only a few blocks away beginning less than a day after the riots started, and Dinkins forbade them to intervene. That SOB has a lot of blood on his hands.
