Al Sharpton: Civil disobedience will escalate if Zimmerman remains free

If George Zimmerman is not arrested in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin soon, the Rev. Al Sharpton will call for an escalation in peaceful civil disobedience and economic sanctions.

Sharpton would not say the efforts would be taken against the city of Sanford specifically, but he has been critical of the police department's handling of the case. (SNIP) "I will speak about how the National Action Network will move to the next level if Zimmerman isn't arrested," Sharpton said, who founded the organization. He added that it was the Martin family and lawyers who first asked him to get involved and nationalize this story.

“So long as Zimmerman remains free, black people will kill each other in large metropolitan areas.”

Where is Tawana these days anyway?
Doesn’t Rev Al have some charges pending on this or taxes?

I can hear the chants now Arrest Al, Arrest Al.

Your post #26 illustrates why Booker T. Washington is not a role model for most of today’s blacks. He is an Uncle Tom to them.

You are correct however we are not in control of the spark...once ignited this barn burner ain't going out until all the fuel is consumed.....I equate this situation to what happens prior to an earthquake...the pressure keeps building until one day and one more pound of pressure then can be held back by friction the world gets rocked. We are quickly approaching that point. Once we get there ALL the pressure will be relieved but the destruction will be total.

Sounds just like his friend Jessie.

Don't think they are good friends. They are rivals after the same fish.

"I will speak about how the National Action Network will move to the next level if Zimmerman isn't arrested,"

Al doesn't mention "civil disobedience."

Sanford police this week released a video of a handcuffed George Zimmerman apparently showing no visible signs of physical injury after he claimed that he shot the 17-year-old Miami teenager in self-defense.

Really? Did you ask them, moron?

Arelis R. Hernández does discredit to that class of folks with the letter á in their name.

Sharpton is making terrorist threats? Will that get him on the No Fly list?

The ones who are guilty of this race-baiting are NOT the majority in EITHER community or race! I live in a mixed-race community, and would no more expect my neighbors (black or otherwise) to loot and burn our neighborhood than they would expect me to so the same...

My wife and I went out to dinner last night. I took notice of many mixed groups all around me having a great time and enjoying each others company. I watch groups of workers, all mixed, working together with no issues. Apparently, they hadn't got the memo that we're all supposed to be hating each other!!!

It's the (not-so) Sharptons and Jacksons of the world, and those in the media who are trying to make their own stories or who have an agenda who are the ones that are causing these issues, and they aren't doing it for equality! They are doing it for POWER and to further their own RACIST/COMMUNISTIC ideas! If anyone needs to be discredited, it's THIS bunch!

Be ready for anything, but think clear and be in control...

economic sanctions? against what or who?
who da revrund shakedown dis time?
Taco Bell?

Al was found to be personally liable for the Tawana Brawley case. He blew that off. Then he learned his lesson and was conspicuously absent the day that Freddy’s Fashion Mart burned down.

"Bring it fat nasty racist thug... come bring it."

I'm on your side.. no flame. But you're implying there will be consequences should the fat nasty racist thug bring it. What will they be?

[silverleaf]

Let's show up with these next time Al Sharpton holds a rally.

[Americanexpat]

I don’t think these people are going to rest until they have their race war just hope history remembers who started it.

In a just world this racist drum beater would be arrested for inciting to riot.
