The Rev. Al Sharpton made a trip to Chicago Sunday to speak about the devastating violence that has gripped the city.

Sharpton, a Baptist minister and civil rights activist, attended the 11 a.m. service at New Mount Pilgrim Church in the West Garfield Park neighborhood, where he was scheduled to preach a "special message" about violence.

By the time Sharpton made his speech, six people had been killed and another 24 had been wounded in shootings across the city since Friday evening.

“...Sharpton, a Baptist minister and civil rights activist...”

No need to read further until that statement is corrected to read “...a complete grifting tax evading felon who should be jailed right next to the Hillabeast...”

Al Sharpton was “ordained” a Pentecostal minister at the age of 10 and was rebaptized as a Baptist in 1994. That is the extent of the “Reverend” Al’s background as a Baptist minister.

Pffft... he has more experience as a race baiter and a charlatan.

Once again, Al is no "Rev". Neither he nor Jesse have completed divinity school, had a church, or had a congregation. Al was "ordained" by a DC preacher at age 10 and has perpetuated the lie ever since. Both men are professional race baiters and would be out of a job if they don't stir the racial pot...they have no reason to solve problems. From Tawana Brawley to the Duke Five, both men consistently comes down on the wrong side of the truth, but never apologize for the trouble they cause. They are worthless when it comes to solving anything and I wish the MSM would drop their bogus titles.

LOL....that’s worse than what I suspected. A mail order degree

What!? ...no cop involved shooting.

How can that be, we all know cop involved shootings are real reason for the alarming rate of murders & shooting in da hood.
