Civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson on Friday likened the fatal shooting of Michael Brown by a Ferguson police officer to a “state execution.”

Curious observation.
People voted because they thought we were in a new dawn of improved race relations.
Would be most ironic if zer0 had to declare martial law because of the people that voted for zer0. Wouldn’t doubt though is in the playbook since the TEA People have been quiet. Smells like desperation on zer0’s part?
Voted for Obama.
Jess, babe!
Shive it up yer keester....
What is your opinion regarding the thousands of apparently black people who kill each other all year long?
Is this a cop problem or a culture problem.
Cuz it seems to me blacks weren’t exactly representing, in terms of inmate census, 100 years ago.
Is crime like the NBA?
Something blacks uniquely excel at?
Certainly has been a hot summer even if the temperature has been lower than normal weather wise for summer. So perhaps there is the plan. Cause the blacks to riot and declare martial law to halt the elections and don’t tell the black community they are being used. Wonder if the democrats can pull off this plan without being exposed? zer0 is desperate as are the democrats. They (democrats) sense they are about to lose and lose big. So sense Ferguson didn’t work out yet ... Move On says Move On to Los Angeles.
Surely you jest!
Rev. Jesse and Rev. Al are LEADERS in the tattered remnants of the “Hang onto your Black Hatred” Movement that has done so much to refute the 1960’s fantasy of “I have a dream” by another Black Reverend.
Surely Rev. Jesse must have some accomplishments to prove that his brand of Black Hatred is in the Mainstream of PC Liberalism?
If Revs, Jesse and Al start to “have a dream,” then who will be left to Lead the Black Hatred Movement?
Jackson's influence extended to international matters in the 1980s and 1990s. In 1983, Jackson traveled to Syria to secure the release of a captured American pilot, Navy Lt. Robert Goodman who was being held by the Syrian government. Goodman had been shot down over Lebanon while on a mission to bomb Syrian positions in that country. After a dramatic personal appeal that Jackson made to Syrian President Hafez al-Assad, Goodman was released. Initially, the Reagan administration was skeptical about Jackson's trip to Syria. However, after Jackson secured Goodman's release, United States President Ronald Reagan welcomed both Jackson and Goodman to the White House on January 4, 1984.[23] This helped to boost Jackson's popularity as an American patriot and served as a springboard for his 1984 presidential run.
In June 1984, Jackson negotiated the release of twenty-two Americans being held in Cuba after an invitation by Cuban president Fidel Castro.[24]
On the eve of the 1991 Persian Gulf War, Jackson made a trip to Iraq, to plead to Saddam Hussein for the release of foreign nationals held there as the "human shield", securing the release of several British and twenty American individuals.[25][26][27]
He traveled to Kenya in 1997 to meet with Kenyan President Daniel arap Moi as United States President Bill Clinton's special envoy for democracy to promote free and fair elections.
In April 1999, during the Kosovo War, Jackson traveled to Belgrade to negotiate the release of three U.S. POWs captured on the Macedonian border while patrolling with a UN peacekeeping unit. He met with the then-Yugoslav president Slobodan Milošević, who later agreed to release the three men.[28]
His international efforts continued into the 2000s. On February 15, 2003, Jackson spoke in front of over an estimated one million people in Hyde Park, London at the culmination of the anti-war demonstration against the imminent invasion of Iraq by the U.S. and the United Kingdom.
In November 2004, Jackson visited senior politicians and community activists in Northern Ireland in an effort to encourage better cross-community relations and rebuild the peace process and restore the governmental institutions of the Belfast Agreement.
In August 2005, Jackson traveled to Venezuela to meet Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, following controversial remarks by televangelist Pat Robertson in which he implied that Chávez should be assassinated. Jackson condemned Robertson's remarks as immoral. After meeting with Chávez and addressing the Venezuelan Parliament, Jackson said that there was no evidence that Venezuela posed a threat to the U.S. Jackson also met representatives from the Afro Venezuela and indigenous communities.[29]
In 2005, he was enlisted as part of the United Kingdom's "Operation Black Vote", a campaign run by Simon Woolley to encourage more of Britain's ethnic minorities to vote in political elections ahead of the May 2005 General Election.[30
How can Jesse or Al stay relevant unless they continue to stir the pot. Neither seem to think the 60s are in the past and we have a black president.
Uh - - - last I checked all those deeds of goodness were done in FOREIGN Countries.
MLK’s “Dream” was about America - - - .
I have come to grips with the fact I did not win the pool regarding when Jessie Jackson’s head would cave in. Someone will make some money, soon...
Thank you so much for the heads up regarding Sunday and Los Angeles. Hope you do not mind that am spreading the word on other threads.
Feel free.
CBS LA and the LA Times have stories. I thought more people knew...
Choose your friends wisely...

As real facts come out, the race baiters sense they are losing it and the rhetoric will get worse.
This from a man who the FBI mentions in VVAW files as maybe supplying weapons who radicals who murdered a police officer...
If you strongarm-rob a store, you may be executed by the state.
They’re miffed ‘cause he’s really not black...he’s less than 50% black.
Jesse’s a Real Gem amongt Gems, isnt he.
we aren’t supposed to be aware of his highly shady background.
the very word Rev,...in front of his name is supposed to afford him great creedence and respecktubility
