Arizona, now home to about a half-million illegal aliens, was invaded by Rev. Al Sharpton and his minions who decided to play racial politics with the public safety of American citizens. The man to whom reporters rush for soundbites was there to protest the state’s news law to fight illegal immigration.
Sharpton, who commands the attention of so many members of the mainstream news media, is notorious for whipping up fury and then disappearing when destruction — even death — occurs. Short memories appears to be a prerequisite for being a news reporter or else these denizens of America’s newsrooms are intentionally ignoring Rev. Al’s modus operandi.
For example, in Brooklyn, New York, Sharpton started a protest against Korean store owners. The storeowners were being singled out by Sharpton and his goons because their businesses were located in a predominately black neighborhood. For weeks protesters marched and yelled epithets against the Korean families. The protest became so heated that a grocery store owner was beaten to death.
Now, Rev. Sharpton has set his sights on Arizona’s new immigration enforcement law, a law supported by 70 percent of the state’s residents including the membership of the Arizona Sheriffs Association.
At one rally, what the media characterized as a “small riot” broke out as police attempted to escort away a supporter of the bill who had come under attack from opponents. A number of protesters began throwing objects at the supporter and his police escorts.
While the news media played down the violence in the illegal alien protests, a number of law enforcement colleagues mentioned how different the media covers peaceful Tea Party events as opposed to actual violence perpetrated by illegal aliens and their supporters.
One veteran police detective said,”The news media practically invented ‘evidence’ of Tea Party participants’ violent or threatening behavior, but these same reporters turn blind eyes to the violence and vitriol of illegal aliens and others opposed to Arizona’s law.”
[snip]About 100 protesters set up outside the detention center in Broadview where Chicago area illegal immigrants are held until they can be deported back to their home countries. The center is located at 1930 Beach Street and has been the target of regular protests by a group called CRLN, Chicago Religious Leadership Network on Latin America
A van full of deportees, presumably headed to O'Hare for a one-way flight back home, tried to leave the facility this morning but the protesters linked arms across and sat down in the street so the van could not pass. The driver finally drove back into the building.
Broadview police moved in and arrested some two dozen people who were charged with disorderly conduct.
The protesters shouted "Illinois is not Arizona" throughout their demonstration.That's in reference to the Arizona law signed last Friday that will permit Arizona police to question people about their legal status. If officers determine a person is in the state illegally, they will be arrested and deported.

The rioters make it easier for law enforcement to round up the illegals...
they’re voluntarily gathering in one spot.
The news is what they want us to think and nothing more.
This is 1984.
Was Sharpton the race pimp that incited a crowd to commit murder?
Maybe that's why the media was silent....
We’re no longer a nation of laws but of media control of government.
“Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience.” ~ John Locke
He was also one of the dirtbags who ruined the lives of the Duke University students.
Sharpton is one of the worst racists ever. You will never see him rally for rights of any white person.
Just ask Imus.

Everyone should go here to hear Terry Anderson’s rant against Sharpton.

Surprised to hear someone who remembers. Newark N.J. in the late sixties. The computer school I was going to at the time was destroyed. A girl I knew was trapped in it while gunshots were fired outside.
I guess this is the kind of thing Sharpton wants.
‘of the media, by the media, for the media’
Exactly. We focus as much, or more, on our government, but they wouldn’t be as emboldened without rock solid media support. The media’s the catalyst that has brought us to where we are today.
MSM are pigs! Some way they need to be held accountable for their bias. I wish all leftists would go to a country that would appreciate them.
Sharpton actually does what they always accuse Rush of doing - bring people to a frothing fury and then people end up hurt or dead.
