The Rev. Al Sharpton has always been keen to maintain his reputation as the least plausible cleric since Elmer Gantry.
The racial tension and riots in Ferguson, Mo. have proved to be the perfect vehicle to do just that.
Not just satisfied with creating unrest in one beleaguered Missouri city, though, the “Reverend” is looking to go national with his “peaceful protests” that worked out so well in Ferguson.
With that, Sharpton’s group, the National Action Network (NAN) has put out a list of national protest sites, because apparently just one city experiencing hellish violence and racial strife just isn’t enough. [H/T Gateway Pundit.]
“In anticipation of the impending grand jury decision in Ferguson, MO, National Action Network (NAN) Chapters are encouraging community members to join them when it is announced,” the statement reads.
“Regardless of what the decision is, NAN chapters in over 20 cities around the country will gather.” So you lose either way.
If Officer Wilson is indicted, the release says, the protests “will focus on what would be a teaching moment on how to deal with national legislation for policing.”
I had personally thought the unctuous, condescending, leaden idiom “teaching moment” had been retired, but apparently it still lives on in the lexicon of the professionally-offended.
“If the Ferguson grand jury decision clears him of criminal charges then NAN will call for protests to remain peaceful and for the federal government to come in with a federal grand jury to move for civil rights charges on excessive force,” it continues.
Yes, just like the “peaceful” protests that Sharpton and other leaders have led in Ferguson up until now..
Given their previous success at keeping their civil disobedience peaceful in Ferguson, you might think that Sharpton and his compatriots might have decided to forego these mass gatherings this time, but no, they’re going to keep right at it.
We all know that when Al Sharpton uses the phrase “peaceful protest,” it’s done with a nudge and a wink.
It’s an meaningless blanket get-out-of-jail-free card meant to keep him out of trouble when these race baiting spectacles inevitably spiral out of control.
It seems that Sharpton seems to sense the writing on the wall as to how the grand jury will go.
This week, Sharpton wrote a piece in the New York Times, suggesting that we do away with the grand jury process (at least in cases like Officer Wilson’s), and merely take the person to jury trial.
Because if the facts don’t work out in your favor, change the rules. And if that doesn’t work, break stuff.
Here are the venues for Sharpton’s Magical Misery Tour:
ATLANTA, GA: 75 Spring St, SW, 2211 U.S. Courthouse

You might want to note: There is NOT one city in Texas on that list. These ol’ boys down here don’t play. Keep this crap up and the “Right Reverend” will force their hand and things can get real messy real quick, because a whole helluva lot of folks in Texas are “packing” and they don’t play.
Freddie’s Fashion Mart writ large.
Race relations have been set back to where they were when court mandated bussing messed up a lot of urban schools and neighborhoods. I wonder if the powers that be will be unhappy if the least productive, most demanding blacks are taken out of the picture permanently.
JMHO
FWIW, There's a link in the article to the original source.
75 spring at in Atlanta is walking distance from Clark Atlanta University and Morris Brown college, plus CNN HQ is pretty much ‘across the street’ NW of that courthouse so Atlanta is primed for another CNN crisis programming event.
NOtice how none of these are in TEXAS. That crap wont fly here. Also notice how they are in majority black or mexican cities. He had to throw in Sanford after the loss to Zimmerman.
and BOR used to give this piece of human debris time on his show a few years back.
Where is Michael Riccardi of Bensonhurst when we need him?
I believe it is because those cities you saw the other day weren’t NAN Sharpton pro riot city list.
The others were sponsored by some other commie network.
The guy Democraps ran as Presidential material.
I think Al Sharpton needs something to do. I think breaking rocks with ahammer would be fine.
Nothing in Colorado either. Guess he figures his people are too mellow here, partaking in that newly legalized substance, to give a rip what his fat backside says.
Atlantic City, Newark, and Paterson? To make a statement, they should not loot and burn their own neighborhoods. Wise up, Sharpton....unless it’s his long term victim hood plan.
It should also be noted that if this type of legal action is attempted, MSNBC-NBC-GE can be included as Sharpton is an employee of the same.
At a glance I’m showing protests in Longview, Austin, and Dallas.

And that is the point! The Al Dulltoons and Jesse Jackasson brigades are being herded for diversion purposes. They are too stupid to see the handwriting on the wall, that they are being tossed under the bus in grand and open fashion, being used this last time to bring down the system which housed and fed them, being replaced with Hispanics who will now be exploited as just the latest herd the democrips manipulate and enslave with fedzilla welfare. Cloward and Piven are a comedy routine, for all these poor fools know.
Take it as a proxy for a weather report. Bundle up!
When did North Carolina take over Charleston?
Then they will wonder why no one will open stores in their neighborhood months later.
