Al Sharpton, Trayvon Martin family urge peace on 20th anniversary of L.A. race riots

To mark the 2oth anniversary of the deadly riots that engulfed Los Angeles following the 1992 Rodney King verdict, civil rights activist Al Sharpton and Trayvon Martin's parents are urging peace at events. Sharpton spoke to Yahoo News before he and Martin's family addressed a church on Thursday night.

"I think even though people are angry and as concerned as I am, we don't feel like we have no options," he says. "Unlike [with] Rodney King, there's defined leadership in Trayvon Martin's case who have said from the beginning we cannot have violence."

Sharpton says he has no idea whether Zimmerman was prejudiced against Martin because of his race

Yet Al Sharpton urged his buddy Holder to get the DoJ involved in investigating this as a so-called "hate crime", and they did.

"Zimmerman is still being investigated by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights division. In a speech at a conference in Washington, D.C., led by Rev. Al Sharpton, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said a hate crime would be tough to prove." LINK

With the real facts trickling out (all of which evidence anything but a "hate crime"), fat Albert is getting scared and trying to put this thing in reverse - too late. There is a civil suit with a big price tag heading his way which might just bankrupt him and his quasi-federal NAN organization.

Al... “people” are looking for an excuse to riot.
Plain and simple.

[fwdude]

Maybe they meant “piece,” as in heat.

“we don’t feel like we have no options”

That means they DO have options!

[FroggyTheGremlim]

Sue them Zimmerman.

Sue Sharpton. Jackson, the Black Panthers, NBC, ABC, CBS.

Sue them all!

[Mamzelle]

Why can’t victims in South Carolina (Seneca, Applebees) and Illinois and Alabama sue Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson’ family and the Marin family? They are victims of this race-baiting team of hustlers.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Ren Jackson and Stimpy Sharpton.

It seems Sharpton et al know Trayon was no angel that night and that that will come out in the trial. Yahoo!

Translated this isn't polling the way they wanted. Every time some yabo kills someone and says "this is for Trayvon" it makes them look worse. This was supposed to be Obama's excuse for a gun grab, but instead it is causing people to run our and buy guns.

Obama is going to have a riot on his hands in Chicago in May. Throw in the riot for Trayvon crew and he could see inner cities across the country go up in flames. That happened in 1968 and didn't end well for the Democrats that November.

1968: Race Riots + rampaging hippies = win for Richard Nixon

2012: Race Riots + rampaging OWS hippies = win for Mitt Romney

These guys just never learn from history.

[Navy Patriot]

Trayvon would riot for peace.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

He better be scared, his big mouth outran his brain again. It's getting to be a habit.

Al isn't playing in the big cities now, people in flyover country don't panic and hide in little boxes.

[PLD]

Peace my rear you little toad..your day is coming Fat Al,one day that mouth will get you in big trouble..I think whites and some blacks are getting tired of your race baiting so be on alert fat boy...Most people know what you are all about.

[RexBeach]

How about Mr. Sharpton’s first quote? It is virtually inscrutable. Nice going, Al. You’re a real mensch.

[RightOnline]

To Sharpton and the Martin family....three little words:

Too f**king late.

[freeangel]

“It seems Sharpton et al know Trayon was no angel that night and that that will come out in the trial”

I’ll be laughing my butt off if the autopsy shows illegal substances were present in the body.

[ken5050]

You're all missing the key reasons for this. Racial tensions are being inflamed around the country by racial motivated radical blacks...as well as the usual thugs..we've had several instances of blacks beating a white person, and saying "that's for Trayvon."

Sharpton, Jackson, et al are planning massive rallies/demonstrations/marches at the RNC in Tampa..they're hoping to upset the GOP, rally their base, and of course, get the MSM to focus on the Trayvon marches.

If there is an incident of a major race riot before the RNC..it will totally discredit these planned marches..thus they are tryign to dial it down BIG time...trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube.

[GonzoGOP]

These guys just never learn from history.

Neither do we. Any Republican could have won in 1968. We put Nixon in office and he gave us the EPA and price controls.

Any way you slice it, 12-15% of the population - even with Holder and Obama’s blessing - cannot exact the revenge they seek through rioting and mayhem. They will only be destroying their own neighborhoods and some of those urban areas that surround them. Doesn’t do much for ensuring the government infrastructure that supports their daily lives with EBT, Section 8, EITC, AFDC, SCHIP, WICs, SNAP and all the other free largesse.

Outside their habitats, they’d get their asses kicked.

Outside their habitats, they’d get their asses kicked.

Long term yes, but in the short term they can do a lot of looting. The fact is the gangs are armed and organized. Most suburbanites are not armed. Those that do have weapons are largely unorganized. In fact any attempt to organize them gets suppressed by the cops. Just look what happened to neighborhood watch volunteer Zimmerman.

Once the rioting comes out of the cities it would take weeks for effective armed patrols to be put together. And in the blue states they would find themselves fighting the Cops and the National Guard more than the rioters.
