Why isn't this murder?

[DaShi]

Eric Holder endorsed Sharpton quite recently. It happened. It's on the DOJ's website:

Thank you, Reverend [Al] Sharpton. I appreciate your kind words, but I am especially grateful for your prayers – and for your partnership, your friendship, and your tireless efforts to speak out for the voiceless, to stand up for the powerless, and to shine a light on the problems we must solve, and the promises we must fulfil.

It's a real question for you now: is endorsing a man who stoked a race riot something you approve of?

Can you prove that Al Sharpton is the direct cause of the riots?

Can you prove that Al Sharpton is the direct cause of the riots?

Are you seriously defending this man?

He spoke at a funeral for a man run over by a Jew, by all accounts, by accident. Said Jew apparently did nothing to save the man.

At the funeral, Sharpton stated that if 'the Jews' wanted to "get it on" they should go over to his house. This means he:
-Laid the blame at the Jewish community's feet.
- Implied that this act was tantamount to an assault on blacks by Jews.
- Implied that violence was a necessary measure against this assault on blacks.

Afterwards a violent riot took place. The rioters were, needless to say, black.

This man is an on-the-record, unreprentant racist who stoked a race riot. He is a danger to American society. The Obama Administration's decision to associate with and endorse with this man is a disgrace.

You just can't stop lying, can you? It was a 7 year old child who died and his 7 year old cousin who was badly injured. The Jewish man responsible had been driving as part of a procession with a police escort and had fallen behind. He sped up to catch up and ran through either a yellow or red light, hit a car and as a consequence hit a wall and killed the child. The Jewish man was taken to hospital while the emergency severices were still trying to free the child which led to a false rumour that the ambulance had prioritized the Jewish mans safety over the childs. In a community used to being discriminated against and treated like **** at every turn, that didn't seem implausible.

The resultant violence was appalling and Sharptons comments were certainly offensive, but how about you try assessing things honestly instead of trying to paper over the memory of a dead child with your bull****?

[kentonio]

He is a danger to American society.

Don't be ****ing stupid.

[The Mad Monk]

How long after the accident was the funeral?

[regexcellent]

Don't be ****ing stupid.

He's smarter than you.

One ****** standing up for another. How sweet.

[Kidlicious]

Don't be ****ing stupid.

Do you mind telling us why you think a black racist is not a danger to society? You obviously think non-black racists are.

[Zevico]

So it was a couple of kids and not a man. What does that change? This riot identified Jews as its targets wholesale much as blacks were the subject of segregation or slavery or more to the point, lynch mobs. That point remains. You presume that I refer to the black person who died as a mature adult deliberately; in fact I simply did not remember it. If it so link the article. Getting a detail like that wrong doesn't change the basic run of the events.

[Zevico]

Don't be ****ing stupid.

An open and unapologetic racist leader is not a danger to American society?

That really doesn't prove that he was the direct cause of the riots. Don't you have any evidence? Or has PJmedia not put an article out about it yet?

[Zevico]

I doubt that anyone can be the "direct cause." Sharpton didn't directly tell people to riot an he didn't direct the rioters. But those words constituted an implicit approval of violence as a means of confronting the members of another ethnicity. They were racist. If you deny that it is for you to explain why you disagree. If not it is for you to decide whether you think it right to endorse him.

[DaShi]

You haven't provided enough evidence to support those conclusions.

[Zevico]

You're right. "if the Jews want to get it on" was really just a party invitation for a meet and greet at Sharpton's place. He was probably challenging the Jews to a dance off. How silly of me.

[DaShi]

Possibly. Were the Jews not served?
