Sharpton to Rent Chicago Apartment to Focus on Gun Violence

[ScreamingEagle]

it'll be interesting to see what this blowhard actually does...if anything....to help matters....

The Rev. Al Sharpton gave a clearer picture of what he plans to do while living part time in Chicago, saying Sunday that he'll highlight work neighborhood groups and local activists are doing to combat street violence.

"There are people in the trenches every day the nation needs to know about," he said during a news conference in the city's Austin neighborhood, a west side pocket which has been hard hit with gun violence.

Sharpton, who heads the National Action Network, vowed in June to live in Chicago and mobilize in the spirit of Martin Luther King Jr., who rented an apartment in Chicago during 1960s as the city was a central point for civil rights activism. But he never gave many details about exactly what he would be doing and plans were repeatedly delayed.


Sharpton said Sunday that he will rent an apartment from the Rev. Marshall Hatch of New Mount Pilgrim Missionary Baptist and stay in Chicago one or two days a week. His appearance capped off a morning of preaching at Trinity United Church of Christ, a prominent church on Chicago's South Side where President Barack Obama once attended services. Sharpton also planned to promote his new memoir with book signings throughout the city.

Yup, and whatever comes out of his study, the result will be it's the white guy on the rights fault

So how exactly does renting an apartment in Chicago focus anything on gun violence? Does he actually intend to ever live there or is it just a publicity stunt?

If he seriously wants to do something about gun violence, maybe he should study his Bible and start living and teaching this principles for a change.

It's good that he went to the church to preach. Cause we all know that the Chicago gang bangers are in the pews.

Guns will get blamed , not the people using the guns

why would the tinkerbelle-in-chief ever do that....? Trinity was where he could operate on the 'down low'....

maybe Sharpton's visits will bring the sordid stories around Trinity out....perhaps he could talk about the GUNS used to kill Donald Young and Larry Bland and Nate Spencer....

It doesn't mention how many armed body guards Sharpton will have protecting his black ass.

Then all that shit Reverend White was spewing was ignored by the Muslim, eh?

I swear, I honestly do not know how those suffering from Obama Derangement Syndrome do not explode from cognitive dissonance. The careful compartmentalizing of their brains that is required is phenomenal. On the one hand, Obama is a devotee of Reverent Wright at a Christian church while on the other hand he is actually a Kenyan Muslim. Man, the weird stories you have to construct in your heads to make all that shit line up straight! BWA-HA-HA-HA!

those positions are not necessarily mutually exclusive....however attending a mosque regularly and being homosexual does pose a problem don't you think....? Trinity obviously helped to solve his problems....

No matter what Sharpton does haters will say it never happened.

 

[Warrior102]

Is the apartment high enough for him to unsuccessfully jump?

Sharpton is an ambulance chassing dirt bag. Did you ever wonder why all the "blacks" he claims to defend are the dead ones? Because his "opinions"ccan't be challenged since the only one with the facts is dead.

The man is a scam artist

 

[OKTexas]

My question is how many armed body guards will he have with him? He won't be living as an average peoson, he's way above that.

See? Sharpton hasn't even done anything yet and Gramp has determined its a waste of time and a failure.

Tanks, he'll have tanks

 

[ClosedCaption]

We get to see this one happen in real time. Watch Sharpton speak out on gun violence when people say he doesn't. Then watch those people say Sharpton didn't address it the "right way" and dismiss it outright.

Then watch those same people again claim Sharpton never does anything after he finishes doing something.

Watch it happen LIVE

I don't know about that. Sharpton lies all the time and I haven't seen people claiming he is telling the truth.
