On Sunday in Chicago, while in town for several preaching engagements and to promote his new book, The Rejected Stone, the Rev. Al Sharpton announced that he is renting an apartment on the West Side of Chicago. Sharpton is making good on an announcement he made back in July, saying that he planned on taking up residence in Chicago to help a city whose violent crime has made national headlines.
According to ABC News, Sharpton will be joined by Martin Luther King III. Together they hope to curb gun violence in the Windy City. "It's to really encourage groups that are already doing work," Sharpton told ABC News. "We're not coming with a new program; we're coming to put a spotlight and to support those that are doing it."
The exact location of Sharpton and King's apartment was not disclosed, but Sharpton will work closely with West Side ministers Ira Acree and Marshall Hatch. Sharpton's plans are also supported by Rep. Danny Davis, who says their move could help bring even more attention to the area.
But Sharpton made it clear that the move is not for a permanent or even extended stay, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Instead the apartment will be home base for what he sees as frequent visits. "I'm not moving to Chicago," said the New York resident. "I'm taking an apartment, and we're going to be in at least once a week." In addition to the on-the-streets activism work that Sharpton is planning, the head of the National Action Network also plans to broadcast either his nationally syndicated radio show or his MSNBC show, Politics Nation, from the Second City.....

My thought too...those homies will not recognize him and he will be toast. Not too bad an outcome for Chicago, USA.
He’s looking to be the next Capone of that city.
I believe the correct word is “crib.”
This POS may be planning to go into politics.
Oh great - Jesse Jagmo, Michael Pfleger, and now Big Al - we’ve hit the trifecta in the race-hustling reverends department. Although Chicago isn’t anywhere big enough to provide room for three egos that size at the same time.
“Why Is Al Sharpton Renting an Apartment in Chicago?”
The rat fascists are congregating in Fort Chicago for mutual protection. They’re hoping that the Chicago cops will protect them from the flyover country Indians. What they failed to take into account is Second City Cop. http://secondcitycop.blogspot.com/.
If Buckwheat and gang had taken time out from their busy Nazi lives of looting, agitating and hating Americans, they might have discovered that the cops there hate their guts. Chicago cops would no more risk their lives for Buckwheat and company than they would save worms from fish.
Chicago will be the epicenter of the death of the communist/racist/Nazi democrat party.
Because he has may-maued someone else into paying for it?
New girl friend? Nah! Wherever there is money, there is Al.
