STATEMENT BY REV. AL SHARPTON ON GEORGE ZIMMERMAN BEING ACQUITTED OF ALL CHARGES IN THE SHOOTING OF TRAYVON MARTIN

Saturday, July 13, 2013 (New York, NY) “The acquittal of George Zimmerman is a slap in the face to the American people but it is only the first round in the pursuit of justice. We intend to ask the Department of Justice to move forward as they did in the Rodney King case and we will closely monitor the civil case against Mr. Zimmerman. I will convene an emergency call with preachers tonight to discuss next steps and I intend to head to Florida in the next few days."

Rev. Al Sharpton, President of National Action Network and MSNBC Host

No Jusis! No peace!

Course now, if’n ya’ll see fit to give the Rev a Budweiser Distributorship in Orlando, he might be able to better come to grips with the tragedy and allow the good people of Sanford to heal on their own.

Whoooooah! Check it out! I just looked up Rodney King on Wikipedia, and here’s what it say:

“King’s provocative behavior began with his consumption of alcoholic beverage’s and Skittles and continued through a high-speed chase, refusal to submit to police orders and an aggressive charge toward Powell.”

I KID YOU NOT!

Federal Hate Crime legislation does not require the defendant to be a governmental representative.

Best thing that could happen is that people show up and laugh at him. Laugh him out of town.

“NAACP head confirms to CBS News he’s been in touch w/ AG Holder about federal criminal charges in Zimmerman case”

Normally I would laugh this off, but Eric Holder...

The fact that Sharpton has his own show on the Liberals news station, the fact that President Obama associates with Sharpton, and the fact that Liberals hold Sharpton out as a voice of reason despite his history of lying and inciting riots, tells you everything you need to know about Liberals’ logic, sense of fairness, and view on race relations.

Who’s “we?”

George Zimmerman is a private citizen. O’Mara made it clear they are not about to abide civil suits.

As always, Sharpton is just hustling for attention and money.

If GZ is brought up on civil rights charges, I may attend my first protest.

“Rev Al” is responsible for any and all violence that occurs after tonight. He’s a piece of sh**. Being from NY, I’ve known this for a long time.

If I were black, I would already be telling him to shut up, you don’t represent me.

The acquittal of George Zimmerman is a slap in the face to the American people

Um, please speak for YOUR people. The acquittal is NOT a slap in the face for my people. So much for this government unifying the people under the principles of justice. The fact that these leaders saying these unGodly things and not being arrested is testament to the fact that we are indeed a divided nation.

You can choose to listen and understand or not. It doesn't matter anymore. Trayvon was not shot because he was black. He was shot because he attacked and tried to beat to death an armed man. It has NOTHING to do with color.

No kidding, a 60 lb head on 120 lb body. Looks like he has AIDS. All that hatred has made him one ugly man.

Pray for America to Wake Up

Al likes to get people destroyed, maimed and killed. It’s his hobby.

I am so tired of this $hit. The sooner the race war starts the sooner we can get it over with. Sorry, just tired.

I just pulled that up. OMG you're right.

Look halfway down the page under "Federal Trial Of Officers"

Does anyone have admin access to Wikipedia?

My bad. I learned civics before the age of political correctness. I do not think in terms of hate crimes. Murder is murder to me, regardless of color. GZ was found not guilty of 2nd degree murder. This will be very interesting case if it happens. I seem to recall something about double jeopardy. If the government brings another suit it will be the equivalent of double jeopardy.

I really hate liberals.
