Strip club where Sean Bell was that night.

You knew this was coming. Looks like Rush might not have to wait for Denver for riots - kinda’ proves his point.

Text of the judge's comments in Sean Bell case.

You’re are right, more than proves Rush’s point.

Rush talks of Riots, Lib fools fall all over themselves condemning him. Sharpton threatens the same and silence from the Lib idiots. Typical.

[Boagenes]

Sharpton should be arrested.

[Popman]

Two of the three officers charged were also black.

I know almost nothing about this event except for the blurbs I saw on the idiot box

If the Righteous Rev. Al is got his panties in a knot over this, there must be money to be made somehow, somewhere.

Since it isn't about race based on the fact two of the evil trigger happy LEO's were black

Obama Takes Questions on Sean Bell, Clyburn and Wright:

" Sen. Barack Obama weighed in today on the acquittals of New York City police detectives charged in fatally shooting an unarmed black Queens man, Sean Bell, saying he believed that the verdict needed to be respected and urging those who disagreed with it not to resort to violence. That would be "completely unacceptable and counterproductive," Obama said."

"Well, look, obviously there was a tragedy in New York. I said at the time, without benefit of all the facts before me, that it looked like a possible case of excessive force. The judge has made his ruling, and we're a nation of laws, so we respect the verdict that came down," he said in response to a question at a gas station in Indianapolis, where he was holding a news conference."

"The most important thing for people who are concerned about that shooting is to figure out how do we come together and assure those kinds of tragedies don't happen again," he continued. ... "Resorting to violence to express displeasure over a verdict is something that is completely unacceptable and counterproductive."

Surprisingly good reply.

Sharpton is yesterday’s guy, a fact that is slowly beginning to dawn on him.

Someone driving a 5000#+ automobile isn’t unarmed, and this is a direct incitement to riot.

[EagleUSA]

Well, Al has been getting jealous of all the press and attention that Radical Wright has been getting -— now he has to chime in with his version of the hate America, hate Whitey, play the race-card time....hehehe -— these professional racists are so predictable... :-)

[NordP]

....if he could only use his powers for good.

I said at the time, without benefit of all the facts before me, that it looked like a possible case of excessive force

And of course he now repeats it WITHOUT saying--- Now I see what the real facts are I agree with the courts --

Obama wants it BOTH ways

[WashingtonSource]

Al Sharpton — the Muqtada al Sadr of America. Both deserve to die in a hail of bullets.

Surprisingly good reply.
