Left-wing activist Rev. Jesse Jackson decried widespread looting in the Democrat-run city of Chicago Monday morning, calling it “humiliating, embarrassing, and morally wrong.” “This act of pillaging, robbing & looting in Chicago was humiliating, embarrassing & morally wrong,” Jackson wrote on social media. “It must not be associated with our quest for social justice and equality. #DrKing, #MedgarEvers & , our martyrs, cry together in shame.” Hundreds of people descended on downtown Chicago overnight after a police shooting on the city’s South Side, with vandals smashing the windows of dozens of businesses and making off with merchandise, cash machines, and anything else they could carry, authorities said.

The Dead had it right 50 years ago:
Chicago, New York, Detroit and its all on the same street.
No no no-—those were not what he meant by martrys—he was talking about MLK and Evers
BLM has learned how to “shake down” companies from the “rev” Jackson
Meanwhile, Detroit is currently not having much trouble at all in containing its small outbursts of lawlessness. Good leadership at all levels. Check it out.
Jesse is just pissed that he is too old to carry off a 70” flat screen, while singing “We shall over come!”
Then he made a poor choice of wording:
‘#DrKing, #MedgarEvers & , our martyrs,’
Apparently, there are ‘martyrs’ Jackson didn’t list by name.
What the hell is he talking about?!
Jesse Jackson has done nothing for the blacks in Chi-town but I do agree with him on that statement.
“Shame,” for damn sure,
Chicago averages 10 shootings a day often 50-70 on weekends. Its a black-on-black monopoly and they are upset the cops got one instead.
You didn’t correct anything. Whites will simply become indifferent and will fight back when threatened. They’re not going to run away again.
People and businesses move when there is no police protection.
When the mayors, city councils And chiefs of police don’t support the cops, they retire or quit. Then you cannot hire replacements because who wants to work in such a city.
It is happening in all the big cities run by the ComDems.
Stay and fight? Maybe a few, but not many.
Jesse Jackson had history’s big opportunity to really do good for people. He sold out.
I always wonder about people like him. Some of them started off well and then got corrupted. Maybe he does suddenly realize it.
Mother Teresa was pro-death, more than pro-life.And the Mayors of Portland and Chicago,my hometown, are still not anywhere close to being hard-line law and order.They are stuck between the proverbial rock and a hard place. At this point they would have to give orders to WHATEVER Law enforcement sent out there-— National Guard, Federal Marshals, their own PDs, to break them up the mobs by any means possible-—water cannons, massive tear-gassing, even shooting to kill if shot at-—the LAW has to be allotted massive overpowering force and the right to use it, in the form of the same kind of military surplus war materiel many have rightly claimed years ago were symbols of “the militarization of the police.” NOW is finally the time to trot that stuff out, (and it should’ve never been used before, it was a scary kind of “overkill”, which it would not now be. But I don’t think either of these Mayors have the nerve to do much, and they STILL are not gonna give Trump the opportunity to do anything effective that might boost his approval ratings.They’ve simply emboldened the mob for too long to scare them into changing their ways at this point, no matter how bad it makes the Dems look—the Mob doesn’t give a crap about making the Party look good or bad. Therefore it will continue on as before, probably utilizing cleverly timed lulls in the action, followed by bursts of activity-—right up until election day. And have you noticed that Trump is not the object of the mob’s scorn, but that he IS the object of the Mayor’s scorn and suspicion..?
you left out “porn star”, operatin’ out of Houston.
Jesse can’t go shopping anymore. So of course he is going to decry this. Oh the outrage! Maybe he will pay his baby’s momma now.
I don’t like the guy anymore than you do, but how many other black Democrats can you name who have condemned the violence?
Jesse is not condemning the violence in ny other city save one - Chicago. Where is he condemning the systematic violence that have killed children in Chicago. He isn’t condemning the violence, instead, its faux outrage at the looting going on. Over a thousand people have been murdered in Chicago and nothing, not a peep from Jesse. Now all of a sudden he tells his boyz to settle down? Nah not buying it!
The Rev.Jesse Jackson should never be confused with a human being.
That's profound. It's a new day and Jackson is unhappy with the change.
