Pastor tries to get guns off Chicago streets and the NRA calls him a terrorist
yourblackworld.net ^ | 9/9/2014 | Dr Boyce Watkins

One of the great champions of the black community is Father Michael Pfleger, head pastor at the Saint Sabina Church on the southside of Chicago. Father Pfleger often works with another man for whom I have tremendous respect: Min. Louis Farrakhan of The Nation of Islam. Together, these two men provide beacons of hope for black families everywhere, while much of the Chicago elite simply tap dance around the most persistent problems in the African American community.

One matter that Pfleger has addressed consistently is the need to get guns off the streets that are being used to murder so many young black and brown men. These guns are often supplied by manufacturers who “accidentally” lose the weapons that make their way onto the streets at relatively cheap prices. The tactic is a simple reminder of how weapons manufacturers in the United States have been able to profit from bloodshed for well over a century. When there’s violence, there’s money, so it honestly appears that they don’t want the killing to stop.

Manufacturers "lose" weapons

Father, you need to open the Good Book: "THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS".

He’s nothing more than a useful idiot for the black liberation movement, Black Pampers, NOI and other associated entities.

As soon as his usefulness is finished or he becomes a liability, they’ll cast him aside like the chaff that he his...

A self-loathing and hateful white man.

roflmao!

Thanks for bringing your post to my attention. It is so perfectly true too. Watkins is clearly lining up to be the next money grubbing race pimp to replace Sharpton or Jesse!

Completely unaware that bit of history. After a quick mention of Father Pfleger and Farrakhan, my eyes glazed over.

I was just referring to the old Rowan & Martin spy bit where Dan would give Dick a detailed list of instructions of where to go, and Dick would ALWAYS say, “You lost me at the bakery.” Dan would always reply, “We didn’t go to the bakery!” However, it looks like the Nation of Islam operatives DID go to the bakery!!!

Probably.

I know all MY guns were lost in a boating accident on the Chesapeake Bay during the second week of November, 2008.

WHAT? Wow, just wow. Manufacturers “lose” weapons so they can be sold cheaply to street thugs in chit-cago?

But of course! Companies..er excuse me Corporations make BIG money all the time ‘losing’ products so they don’t receive any compensation for them.

You just don’t see how the cost of producing a product pales in comparison to the money they don’t make accidentally letting things get lost.

Not to mention the big bucks they make getting investigated by the ATF for all that inventory that goes ‘missing’ – paying all those lawyers reams of Dinero just rakes in the cash by the those Corporations.

But they really make those green backs hand over fist when they get sued by the victims of those ‘missing’ guns.

IIRC one of the ways GM was going to save itself from financial turmoil was to ‘accidentally’ ‘lose’ cars and trucks on the street so they won’t make any profit on them a reap big rewards.

So, gun manufacturers who cant keep up with legitimate demand and have, in some cases, months of backlog with licensed dealers, let a portion of their desperately needed production slip out the back door so they can commit felonies on a grand scale via illegal distribution. Is that the story here?

Fixing that last sentence:

Nonsense like this makes many people assume that all blacks are stupid. And didn’t Father Pfleger threaten to murder a gun shop owner? Isn’t that considered a terroristic threat?

I’m guessin’ if he had been at the shopping center in Memphis recently, his little friends would have knocked him out too for being white.

Liberals act like there are just so many guns on the street and we can just get those guns there would be no more guns. Liberals always think in static terms and are too stupid to think in dynamic terms.

Where did those little savages get those guns? They steal them. Try addressing that issue, liberals.

Pfleger’s social activism has brought him media coverage throughout Chicago and beyond. He has often collaborated and associated with African American religious, political and social activists such as Jeremiah Wright, Joseph Lowery, Jesse Jackson, Harry Belafonte, Cornel West, and Louis Farrakhan.[5]

Wow a who’s who list of asshats, racists and trouble makers

Maybe they were “accidentally” stolen. Like they didn’t mean to steal them but somehow wound up in their pocket at no fault to them.

Minority psychosis. Always Whitey's fault. As long as society allows them to blame some outside factor for their problems then they don't have to take responsibility.

I live in an area with a very high firearms ownership rate but a very, very low murder rate. If it's not the prevalance of guns then what is it?

Pickin’ on tards is beneath the FR community.

Laughing at politically inclined tards is quite another thing.

Cardinal George is very ill, and announced he has asked Pope Francis to begin looking for his replacement. Pfleger, I felt made some inappropriate remarks when this was announced. Whoever replaces the Cardinal I hope sends Pfleger to Nigeria.
