Riverdale, IL. -- According to Jackson's spokesperson, the Reverend and Pfleger, pastor of St. Sabina Church, got arrested while rallying against gun violence outside Chucks Gun Shop at 14310 South Indiana Ave., Riverdale.
A press release from the Rainbow PUSH Coalition said police officers handcuffed and arrested the two men at approximately 1:30 p.m. as they led an anti-gun protest and engaged in civil disobedience.
Jackson and Pfleger have since been released by Riverdale Police by 4 p.m.
In wake of the deaths of 35 Chicago Public School students since January, Jackson and Rainbow PUSH Coalition constituents are demanding new laws to ban the purchase of more than one gun a month, as well as mandating thorough background checks and a longer wait time to buy guns.
"The police watch the people who come into town with fireworks from Indiana, why can’t they watch who’s buying these guns and bringing them into the city,” Jackson said. “We have never known this level of endangerment, this is the struggle of this generation.”
One weekend ago, Jackson and Pfleger led another march to the same gun shop, which started at Park Elementary School on the 14200 block of South Wentworth Avenue, and were joined by Chicago police officer Ronald Holt, father of slain 16-year-old Percy Julian High School honor student Blair Holt.
Wonder how many those "students" were gang members.
Send Pfleger to any number of FReepers and we’ll straighten him out, without the airfare to Rome.
As for Jesse, he has always appeared to me to be a black edition of Adolf Hitler. Watch newsreels of Hitler’s expressions, stances, and mannerisms, and compare them to Rev. Jackson’s public posturings.
Not saying they share the same politics, of course.....
But then, Jesse is in decades-long solidarity with Fidel Castro, a brutal fascist thug dictator who is (1) proud of his 100% European blood, and (2) plagiarized Hitler’s own words when released from Landsberg Prison in 1924:
“History will absolve me!” (Re-uttered by Fidel after the 1952 Moncada Barracks uprising).
“In wake of the deaths of 35 Chicago Public School students”
Certainly wouldn’t want to hold the criminals responsible for murder. I was watching CNN several weeks ago and they were interviewing Arne Duncan, a real piece of work BTW, head of the Chicago public schools and he was doing the same thing. “If we’d just get rid of the guns.” Nothing about the culture or the criminals. He also actually had the audacity to say: “we value our guns and the second amendment more then we value our children” He was adamant about it and quite frankly an arrogant prick. Of course what he ignored was the criminals themselves, the culture and also the fact that quite a few of these murders had nothing to do with a gun in the first place. Some kids have been strangled or stabbed. We must hold inanimate objects and not people responsible. I guess it appeals to his little Marxist head.
Fixed that for ya Je$$e, punk without a pulpit Jacka$$.
I’d bet his carcass could feed a small African village, for a week. LOL.
What a moron.
Jesse himself has a LOADED gun. Just ask Ms. Karin Stanford!!!
What is the death rate being played out in every inner city in America? Quagmire - get out.
It's a lot safer at the gun shop...the gun violence is in the 'hood.'...Jesse.
Looks nappy headed to me.
Our teenagers are running around shooting each other.
(that's terrible. why?)
Because of all these damn guns.
(the guns made them shoot each other?)
Yes. And these white devil gun dealers are responsible.
(Did your troubled teenagers buy guns from the dealers?)
No, they bought them illegally or stole them.
(so how are the dealers to blame?)
Because they put guns on the streets.
(technically, they put guns into homes, and your teenagers steal them and use them on the streets.)
Doesn't matter, even if we shut down these local dealers, the gangstas will still get guns from the red states.
(are the red state dealers selling guns to your gangstas?)
No, we send scumbags to try and buy them or steal them.
(oh I see. but if your teenagers are stealing guns and getting them illegally, and also I might mention that our teenagers here are not shooting each other, doesn't that suggest an alternate solution to you?)
Yes. Make all guns illegal in the red states too.
(lather, rinse, repeat.)
Oh, right, it's the guns which are at fault here. Ban the guns and every other problem just disappears... In a way, I long for the days when I could just imagine myself into these strange and unusual worlds where everything is just peachy. Then I realized it stank being a liberal.
“Quagmire - get out.”
Amen. If it was my child and murderous thugs were running about freely I certainly would.
That sounds about right. Circular logic at it’s best.
Keep Dope Alive!
I photo of courage to nuts like him.
Why not just deflock him and call him apostate. The Pope needs to get some balls. Good Grief. Why do Catholics put up with this crap. I just do not understand.
The locals there must have read "Unintended Consequences."
