Civil Rights Leader Charged With Incest

LEESBURG, Va. (June 9) - A civil rights leader who worked closely with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. has been charged with incest.

The Rev. James L. Bevel, 70, was arrested late last month in Alabama, where he has been living, after being indicted on one count of unlawfully committing fornication.

On Saturday, defense attorney Buta Biberaj said no plea had been entered yet and it would be premature for her to comment. A bail hearing is set for June 14.

Bevel appeared briefly in Loudoun County Circuit Court on Friday but did not speak.

According to the indictment, the crime occurred in Loudoun County in northern Virginia between Oct. 14, 1992, and Oct. 14, 1994, when the accuser was 13 to 17 years old.

Bevel, who worked with King and witnessed his assassination in Memphis, Tenn., in 1968, has played a key role in some of the country's major civil rights protests.

He organized the 1963 Children's Crusade in Birmingham, Ala., and was a leader of the Freedom Rides to desegregate public accommodations throughout the South in the early 1960s. And he was an architect of the March on Washington in 1963 and the Selma-to-Montgomery march in Alabama in 1965. He also helped organize the Million Man March in Washington in 1995.

If convicted, Bevel could face up to 20 years in prison.

Another leftwing race hustler and advocate for "the children" is finally exposed.

I wonder if this might further depress NAACP donations and cause them to down-size right-size even more than they announced last week.

Civil Rights Leader Charged With Incest

How quaint it seems that someone can actually still be charged with
incest in today's everything-goes-post-Judeo/Christian world. (/s)
I do find it comforting (presuming this isn't just the work-product
of investigators and a District Attorney trying to
"Make a name" for themselves).

At the same time I hope the accussed gets all due process.
And is convicted and locked away if he is indeed guilty.

Enough of the Clinton-Era-Alpha-Males-Never-Pay Bravo Sierra.

I note with curiosity the complete lack of details as to familial relationship and gender.

Were this a Republican, ala Mark Foley, every disgusting, semi factual detail would be emblazoned across the headline.

Yes, do they have his e-mails? (s)

The media has to stop using the word “civil rights leader”. Martin Luther King was a civil rights leader. Since him there have been none that measure up to his height.

On a lighter side however is this little known fact about SCJ Ruth Bader Ginsburg, she once wrote a paper advocating lowering the age of consent for adults having sex with children to 11 years old.

So if she had her way this prevert would be guilty of nothing.

“Since him there have been none that measure up to his height.”

What heighth? A man who used to like to purchase the services of white whores, abuse those whores, have sex parties in church and buy expensive liquor with church money. Great role model.

“According to the indictment, the crime occurred in Loudoun County in northern Virginia between Oct. 14, 1992, and Oct. 14, 1994, when the accuser was 13 to 17 years old.’

Isnt that rape and child abuse? Why do they call it incest but not the other things?

There’s still a few of the old guard who are admirable people like Fred Gray who was Rosa Parks’ attorney and who was an early inspiration to conservative jurist Janice Rogers Brown. But sadly, there’s been far too many who have brought ill repute to the old movement.

Huh? What was that theory?

Or are you just referring to His Horndogness and his unique ability to exculpate everything and wiggle out of anything?

Amazing how that doesn't seem to make it into the media accolades that
are thrown Ruthie-baby's way, isn't it!?

The Rev. James L. Bevel, 70, was arrested late last month in Alabama, ...
According to the indictment, the crime occurred in Loudoun County in northern Virginia ...

I'm confused. People tell me (I'm not saying I believe them) that what he's accused of is a way of life in Alabama. So why did they arrest him? Is it because he had the effrontery to choose out-of-state relatives? Something like, "What's the matter, Rev. James? Ain't we good enough for you?"

I can’t speak for MLK but I do think even through all of his faults, if he were alive today he would have nothing to do with our current batch of race pimps.

It would only confuse the poor unwashed.

Why is it these race baiter's are always called "Reverend"? Is this some sort of prerequisite when entering the race baiter career path?

These racists as about as far from God as one can get.

lol I see some holes in the case already. We have an accuser who was between 13 and 17 then they claim it took place within a two year time frame. Just what is wrong with that picture. 4 years estimate on the age seems fishy surely they should know the accusers age??????

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Use the Klintoon defense options?:

1. It wasn't sex.

2. Define the word Incest

3. What does a persons sex life have to do with anything?

4. Some of the above

5. All of the above

6. None of the above

How quickly you forget. The "old movement" as you nostalgically call it was itself compounded of a great deal of Alinskyesque opportunism and battening on other people's problems.

There were small local groups, all native talent, working on the issue of school segregation in Arkansas back before the real trouble started. Then the liberals showed up -- and it was their sudden appearance, their left-wing affiliations, their insistence on confrontation (it wasn't enough to fix things, it wasn't enough to get a solution everyone could live with -- someone had to lose, be seen to lose, and be made a villain, for liberal politics to work), and their self-righteous sweeping aside of the local efforts that energized the opposition and caused them to embrace segregationist politicians and the Ku Klux Klan, who had hitherto not been in the process and hadn't interfered.

The civil rights movement always had a hustle on, and it always had its charlatans and hustlers. Just look at Jesse -- and he was just one of the worst, and by no means the only one. Want another? Stokeley Carmichael. Hosea Williams. Morris Dees of SPLC, hypocrite and termite. And H. "Rap" Brown -- all hustlers and pimps. Not that there were not others who were honest, but these people were not, and they were both prominent and influential in the civil-rights movement.

The Panthers? I'll let somebody else write that book, but they need to hurry -- Hillary's on her way to the White House, and when she gets there she'll pardon every Panther who ever shot a cop or robbed a bank -- or a National Guard armory.
