Sharpton emcees racially-focused Sanford rally, warns against use of violence [Treyvon Martin]
Daily Caller ^ | 23 MAR 12 | By Matthew Boyle

SANFORD, Fla. — The Rev. Al Sharpton, an MSNBC host and liberal political figure, riled up a mostly-black Sanford, Fla., crowd on Thursday night in the wake of the killing of 17-year-old student Trayvon Martin.

“Some people said to me in the media — ‘Let me get this straight,’ they said. ‘Reverend, it seems like there’s a lot of people who are angry — are you afraid of violence?’” Sharpton preached to the central Floridian crowd. “I said, ‘No. I’m afraid of the violence you already had.’”

“Violence is killing Tray Martin,” Sharpton continued. “Don’t act like we are the ones [who are] violent. We didn’t shoot nobody.”

Despite his harsh rhetoric, Sharpton warned the thousands in attendance to avoid resorting to violence at all costs as the Martin case progresses. “I want our people to understand that how you behave is going to be a reflection on this case,” Sharpton instructed the crowd. “[No matter] how angry we get, don’t let them make you act in a way that they will say, ‘see, that’s what to think with Trayvon.’”

“We are going to act intelligent,” Sharpton said.

WOW! if the black community reacted like this for black on black crime? the innocent kids and adults in the black community would feel safe.

Why is black life only precious when someone is the community is killed by a white or hispanic as opposed to another black?

He had better hope that the Hispanic community does not come to the conclusion that this guy is getting railroaded and starts shoving back. That would be the Democrat Nightmare Scenario.

Where is the Just-us brothers when a white child is covered in gasoline and set afire and the attackers allegedly said "That's what you git white boy!"??!

Where is the outrage?!

Sharpton won’t let anything stop him from getting publicity, even his mother’s death a few hours earlier.

Yup

Maybe there has been and I've missed it, but it seems odd-ish not to have seen anything here re local hispanic reaction.

I'd have especially thought that FReepers in the area might've found it postworthy.

They are loading magazines and doing function checks.

.

While the Zimmerman ‘white’ on black killing is covered 24/7 on the MSM with an outpouring of rage and charges of a racial hate crime, where is the concern- where is the rage about the home invasion, torture, beating, rape and murder of the elderly white couple by ‘African Americans’ in Oklahoma just the other day?

The 90 year old war veteran husband was beaten, his jaw broken, shot in the face with a BB gun and now barely clings to life.

The 85 year old partially blind wife was raped and beaten to death.

.

There’s a lot more here than a home invasion and robbery.

WHERE ARE THE CHARGES OF A RACIAL HATE CRIME??

90 year old husband’s jaw broken and shot in face with BB gun?

85 wife year old semi blind wife RAPED and BEATEN to death??

Where is the 24/7 MSM coverage

Where is the outrage?

Wow... this is right up there with the

Mattress Train / Sandra Fluke association.

I think we’re going to start seeing more and more of these “coincidences” as the end times accellerate.

I’m thinking concertina wire might be the next thing to stock up on.

8,000 there with many signs. A few examples of the signs: “Am I Next?” “100 Years of Lynching! Justifiable Homocide Same Thing...”

Had an interesting conversation about that just last night with a couple who themselves are Hispanic. As far as the Hispanic community is concerned, he’s white. There were some laughs as they tried to Hispanicise the name Zimmerman with several prefixes and suffixes though.

So don’t get your hopes up. The Hispanic community is rejecting this guy’s claims. If it turns out he doesn’t even speak Spanish, then no chance at all.
