Sharpton breaks promise to Trayvon supporters, fails to show up in Sanford for Easter ‘Occupation’
By Matthew Boyle - The Daily Caller – 4 hrs ago

MSNBC host and the Rev. Al Sharpton has broken a major promise he made to those supporting him and Trayvon Martin’s family: he didn’t show up in Sanford, Fla., to “occupy” the town over Easter weekend.

On March 26, Sharpton had vowed to “occupy” Sanford over Easter weekend to show support for Trayvon, the 17-year-old black teen who was shot by Hispanic man George Zimmerman on Feb. 26.

“We’re going to have a full blown occupation of Sanford with tents and everything over Easter weekend until [authorities] either arrest George Zimmerman, or arrest us for praying for his arrest,” Sharpton told ABC News about two weeks before Easter.

Now though, on Easter weekend, Sharpton is nowhere to be found in the central Florida town. Instead, according to his Twitter feed, he’s in Harlem.

He heard skinheads with guns are patrolling Sanford. Self preservation is his second greatest quality. Right after self aggrandizement.

Perhaps his contract with Fox is on shaky ground from his first round of face-time.

Funny thing about your point is that when my father was a kid in Germany before ww2 he said they rooted for the nazis over the communist too.

The more things change the more they stay the same. Just replace German communist with black panther party.

I said I despised Nazi’s too and your point is well taken. I’d like to see them, the Black Panthers and what’s left of the KKK no longer in existence. It was obviously a bad way to try and make a point.....I meant no offense. They’re all societal poison.

Sadly, the people who took the time to show up in Sanford to support the campaign that Sharpton started will still fall for his hustle. They ought to be demanding his head on a stick for lying to them and then leaving them in the gulch.

I heard Sharpton was at that Easter Egg Hunt that the cops had to shut down because the parents were fighting each other over the candy.

Since Sharpton first promised he’d occupy Sanford over Easter weekend, several pieces of his storyline have fallen apart.

Yeah, like the fact that they stereotyped ZIMMERMAN by his name and assumed he was a JEW.

A point of interest is that the only reason the TRAYVON incident is news is BECAUSE OF IT'S RARITY.

I mean, blacks kill whites all the time, and it's not news. Blacks kill blacks, and it's not news.

But let one (half)white guy kill a black guy, and .... National Headlines. BECAUSE IT HARDLY EVER HAPPENS!

Yeah, the gig didn’t pay enough to be worth his time & effort.

It's always about the money.

This race hustling is really hard work.

That's because it's almost impossible to find white on black violence.

Sharpton needs more dead black victims so he can get more money. Or find a real job.

How do I even write back or respond to that?

How Odd. I was just thinking the same thing while I read your post.
