Jesse Arrested in Anti-Gun Protest
2007-06-24
Two of the city's best-known activists wound up in police custody Saturday after a protest against gun violence outside a suburban gun store. Revs. Jesse Jackson and Michael Pfleger, a South Side priest, were arrested about 1:30 p.m. for trespassing outside Chuck's Gun Shop in south suburban Riverdale, authorities said.
Pfleger's a worse loudmouth and rabble-rouser than Jackson could ever be. Ought to be defrocked but it won't happen.
Though the arrests resulted in a minor charge for each man, it provided yet another platform from which to denounce the gun violence they say is plaguing the streets of Chicago.

As the two men were released from custody about 3 p.m., they walked triumphantly to the front of the Riverdale police station, where they were met by more than 50 cheering supporters, clapping and singing, "Victory Is Mine." "We really didn't come to get arrested, but to continue our process," Jackson said of his campaign against gun violence.

It was the third consecutive Saturday that Jackson and his supporters rallied in front of the gun shop at 14310 Indiana Ave. Gun sales are banned in Chicago, but Jackson said suburban stores offer city dwellers easy access to firearms.
D.C.'s gun ban has been overturned by an appeals judge.

#18  While we're at it, hasn't the KKK opposed the sale of guns and liquor to black people at one time or another? Jackson and Pfleger are in interesting company.

#16  This is the same Pfleger who received international attention when he called on a mob to "snuff" gunshop owner Bill Roggio back in May. Pfleger's extensive background as a lefty agitator was documented in the earlier R-burg posting.

#15  Doh! Of course, that would be:

When guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns.

#14  "Race Warlord Poverty Pimps"

I like that one, WolfDog.

Okay, so here's a really touchy subject. I'll put this as politely as I possibly can.

As the saying goes: When guns are outlawed only criminals will have guns.

Does anyone else see a vile "special interest" situation whereby we have a couple of scumbag Race Warlord Poverty Pimps agitating to strip away gun ownership from a society that is too frequently assaulted, raped, robbed and murdered at gunpoint by a disproportionately high number of people who share the identical ethnic background of these same Race Warlord Poverty Pimps?

I'm almost puking at how politically correct the above statement is, but there you have it. These Race Warlord Poverty Pimps are protecting and empowering criminal interests on a routine basis. Al Sharpton's actions in the Tawana Brawley case is living testimony to this fact. The elimination of civilian gun ownership plays directly into the hands of gang members everywhere. I sincerely doubt this has escaped the notice of these Race Warlord Poverty Pimps. In fact, I think they're counting on it.

#10  That's too funny, wxjames. What's an RMA?

#9  Jesse & Al will have much to answer for when they leave this world. In ironic contrast, I think of some of the great chaplains I've met during my time in the Corps. Men who truly do the Almighty's work w/little fanfare and no asperations for notoriety.

These two schmucks bring nothing but dishonor upon the word "reverend". May piss be upon them.

#8  Hey Jesse, perhaps you can contact the owner of this webcam and tell him how Chicago guns are so much more ill-tempered and violent than his. He just can't seem to get that damn lazy S&W to do anything suspicious.

Fuuny thing, I can't get my SIG, my CZ or my Glocks to get off their lazy asses and go out and shoot someone either. Maybe it's time for an RMA.

#7  Read a nice line the other day, possibly on rantburg. It said "blaming guns for crime is like blaming pencils for mispellings."

Such a perfect comparison.

#6  Typical racist thug Jacko. Protesting a business instead of a crack house.

The mug shot is perfect. Jesse's stoned out of his mind.

#5  To qoute another blog, "Grouchy OLd Criipple", Jackson,Sharpton,and others of their ilk are "Race Warlord Poverty Pimps" or RWPP. If they had to work for a living instead of scamming others they would starve. Their only talent seems to be jumping on whatever is the current "problem" du jour. As was mentioned earlier, maybe a little more time behind bars with some of the gang bangers would allow them to see the light.

#4  Of course, it's the gun's fault, because they're "automatics." Sheesh! Don't you people know nothin'?

#3  It's never the gang-bangers' fault, is it, jessah...

#2  If one of the overworked Mods could please add another s - to make it "Jesse" in the title - I would appreciate it. Preview Is My Friend.
