Sharpton: 'Slap in the Face to Those Who Believe in Justice in This Country'

Weekly Standard ^ | 7/13/2013 | Daniel Halper

"Well, I think that this is an atrocity," said Sharpton. "I think that it is probably one of the worst situations that I've seen. What this jury has done is establish a precedent that when you are young and fit a certain profile, you can be committing no crime, just bringing some Skittles and iced tea home to your brother, and be killed and someone can claim self-defense having been exposed with all kinds of lies, all kinds of inconsistencies. ... Even at trial when he is exposed over and over again as a liar, he is acquitted. This is a sad day in the country. I think that we clearly must move on to the next step in terms of the federal government and in terms of the civil courts. Clearly, we want people to be disciplined, strategic. But this is a slap in the face to those that believe in justice in this country."

..Sharpless...shut the hell up you idiot.

[terycarl]

between the time that Zimmerman “brutally murdered” the black child who was merely trying to carry a bag of Skittles home, and the verdict....how many black thugs killed other blacks who weren’t even carrying Skittles???....such a total waste of time and money.

[Ray76]

Whatever you say Mr. Brawley.

You’re a shake down artist, a con man, and a racist.

[Utilizer]

*laugh* Which is why he can stand so insouciantly -looking most definitely un-slapped, since he has no interest in “Justice”. Merely how best to gain financially from his constant you-aint-no-(black)-so-thas’-racis’ sputterings.

[OrangeHoof]

“Sometimes you gotta SLAP da donkey!”

[Heart of Georgia]

“Watermelon. Not iced tea.”

Gotcha!

I only know about the purple drank because of FR. I do remember it being watermelon now that you mention it - but I thought I read watermelon tea.

Anyway, I’ve told everyone I know about the recipe that he had posted on his fb page and told them not to buy the “innocent little Trayvon armed with nothing but skittles and iced tea” mantra.

[Venturer]

Sharpton is a slap in the face of the Human race.

[Utilizer]

Bloody Hell!!! This is killing to have to listen to! Watching FoxNews online now and people keep referring to martin as a “child”. A CHILD??? At seventeen, I had already volunteered for enlistment and been accepted for military service. Before I hit nineteen I was already overseas and had undergone at least two deployments, with the third occurring mere days from that point. *shakes head in frustration*

' 'Mugged: Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama. This is a really excellent book'

AMEN ALBOIN.....ALL of ANN COULTER'S books are ACES...

And by the by did you see ANNS LATEST?

http://www.anncoulter.com/columns/2013-07-10.html

There she explains the prior crimes committed in the housing area where Zimmy lived.....clearly explaining them and how they were tied to ZIMMY'S heightened state of alertness the night of the self defense ....I didn't see HANNITY DO THIS NOR ORIELLY nor ANY FOX journalist...FOX WITH all its money and power and researchers never bothered to do this... ALL those people NEVER DID THE JOB...it was left up to A 98 lb BRAINY BEAUTY WITH NO RESEARCH ARM TO point out THESE FACTS TO US ....clearly and intelligently!....Why didn't FOX project these Incidences sentence by sentence in a GRAPHIC FACTIOD...THEY DID NOT nor DID ANY OTHER MEDIA OUTLET DO THAT....

ANN does this time after time after time, fearlessly.

IT TOOK ANN

ONLY ANN!

SHE TRULY IS THE TIMELESS PATRIOT....

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Well the jurors are going to slap themselves now that they’re finally allowed to see what they weren’t allowed to consider. They would have brought back a not guilty verdict in 5 minutes.

[Iron Munro]

Just saw Sharpton on TV while channel surfing.

A walking cadaver!!

He looks like he is dying of AIDS.

He’s about 1/2 of his Tawana Brawley brawling weight.

[VRWCarea51]

Al Sharpton should be referred to as:

Charlatan Al, Race Pimp, Slanderer, shack down Artist.

[Iron Munro]

Even at trial when he is exposed over and over again as a liar, he is acquitted.

Unlike Al himself who was found guilty and fined for his lies when he was sued for making slanderous remarks by the district attorney working the Tawana Brawley case.

To answer your post: I’m sure that Coulter uses researchers. Not quite the same as FoxNews; but she’s not working alone out of a basement apartment, either.

Hannity has done several programs about Zimmerman and also interviewed him on the air. But according to our justice system, certain facts and evidence SHOULD NOT be heard by the public until the trial.

This trial should never have been tried in the media; but it was. The entire case was overcharged by obviously biased district attorney also obviously and unethically under pressure from the White House and DOJ. The evidence was so poor, it was bound to fail based on the evidence admitted at trial.

The judge would not admit a lot of the additional facts you are referring to , about the burglaries in the area committed by black youths, nor all the trouble-making and tough-talking online posts this “child” had engaged in; because it would prejudice the jury against the teenager. Even so, the jury did not find Z guilty. Sadly, the assembled race-ralliers did not hear this evidence, either; so this case will never be over and it is a travesty politically and ethically on the part of the DOJ and the media, who are moaning about a dead “child.”

Leftist Logic: a 12-year-old girl is a “woman” who does not need parental approval for an abortion; an 11-year-old child who commits a murder can be charged as a adult; but a 17-year-old athletic youth almost 6 feet tall has the U.S. Attorney General using taxpayer funds to gin up rallies holding him up as a saint in order to run an anti-gun, anti-white, anti-Constitution agenda — and that grown-ass kid is a “child.”

[Albion Wilde]

It’s a shame what these guys are doing to this country! I don’t get it and I’m black!

God bless you. Do not underestimate the infiltration of black political causes by white Communists in the early-to-mid 20th century and fanatic white academic Marxists from then on.

[Albion Wilde]

It's the watermelon flavor that's used to make "lean" or "purple drank".

OK, I'll bite: what is "lean" or "purple drank"?

[fella]

The “Lynch MOB” has been denied their fun and they are very angry.

[Jefferson Spins]

The thing that frosts me the most about Sharpton and the other race-baiters is that they specifically want us to ignore the content of a person's character and focus exclusively upon skin color, when that color happens to be black. That Trayvon Martin™ behaved like a thug and probably precipitated his own death is of no importance. Only the color of his skin matters.

Good golly: decades ago there were actual injustices and lynchings done to people of color simply because they weren't white. It was unspeakably horrible. But to attempt to conflate what happened to those innocent people decades ago with what happened to Trayvon Martin™ in 2012 is just plain sickening.

Trayvon Martin™ was not some innocent. No, no one is happy he is dead. But to paint this whole tragic event as just another example of how America is still some rat-fink racist country cheapens and trivializes the real suffering of--and the horrible injustices inflicted upon--individuals of color those many years ago.

Can not Sharpton, Holder, and Obama see this? Can they not see that by engaging in their race-baiting actions they surrender the very moral high ground they claim to defend?

So Reverend Sharpton, et. al. do me the courtesy of allowing me to assess someone, even someone now unfortunately dead, by the content of his character, without calling me a racist because that said someone had no character--or at least no character worthy of emulating--and just happened to be black.

Purple drank

[SERE_DOC]

Here's a question for Al

How is Twana B. doing these days?
