Which, to follow along with the Reverend’s logic, would make Sharpton, say, the Apostle Paul — while “white Hispanic” George Zimmerman is, I suppose, some unholy amalgamation of Judas, the Jews, the Beast, and Pontius Pilate.
— And of course, we have to allow that Jesus, were he to have Tweeted, would have done so as “NO_LIMIT_NIGGA” and shown a fondness for “tight pussies” and blunts.
Sharpton goes on to say that, from a broader social perspective, the Stand Your Ground laws available in 21 states are what’s really at stake here, with the “Civil Rights” leader naturally falling on the side of rescinding such self-defense laws, and in so doing — ironically, but hardly unexpectedly — mirroring old “Black Codes,” which were enacted by localities in order to keep blacks unarmed and potentially vulnerable.
Somehow, “civil rights” in the 21st-century involves making sure that criminals are not put in harm’s way by ordinary citizens presuming to look out for their own personal well being. And it is the role of civil rights “leaders” to make certain that individual autonomy and self-sufficiency is surrendered to law enforcement — a group incidentally, these same civil rights leaders will, in other contexts, demonize as racist, incompetent, and unnecessarily brutal.
Heads they win, tails you lose. Deal with it, racist.
Radio news just now reports Zimmerman’s bond hearing is set for next Friday, but in the course of this report the script says what, to my ears, is more interesting: “He’s the gunman held in the shooting of Trayvon Martin last Feb.” This is a peculiar appellation, “gunman”.
Next thing you know (if they haven’t already), Sharpton and Co. will be demanding separate housing for black students on campus.
Right wing racists Alan Dershowitz and Jeralyn Merrit don’t really seem impressed with the case so far.
Al has more in common with Saul than Paul
You would think, in a sane world at least, that a creature such as Sharpton with his record- hell , for the Tawanna Brawley incident alone- would be a pariah everywhere he went.
Instead, he’s doing better than ever for himself, and has never had more influence.
As Jeff likes to say, down is up, in is out…….
If Sharpton ran across a NO_LIMIT_NIGGA on the way to Damascus, would he cross to the other side of the road?
I think Sharpton got his analogy wrong there. Seems, just just following the story, Zimmerman would be playing Jesus, the local DA playing Pilate, telling the leading priests ( Sharpton and Jackson) “I find nothing wrong with this man”. I guess that means Corey is playing Herod.
Of course the mob (at the priests behest) screams “crucify him!”
sdferr, I heard that “gunman” appellation, too. The left is looking for a “threefer” on this – racism, repeal “stand your ground” and restrict gun posession.
Oooh, just noticed they’re after the three Rs. But reading, ‘ritin’ and ‘rithmetic aren’t worthy.
Also, the priests actually did have charges against Jesus, blasphemy(claiming to be the son of God) and working on the Sabbeth(healing on Saturday).
Pilate didn’t have anything against the guy, so he passed the buck off on Herod, Jesus took the fifth, and that’s when things got ugly.
‘Cuz of Rome didn’t have a fifth amendment…
I may have full Derbyed with that last line.
Social Justice for all!
Guam might tip over, milk is a pollutant, the war on plant food is the green war, and NO_LIMIT_NIGGA is like Jesus. Ah yes, good times, good times.
Justice Justice for none!
Sharpie is one of the funniest guys I know. If only because he take his own bullshit as gospel.
I wish someone would stop referring to hustler Sharpton as a “reverend” because he is thoroughly unfamiliar with the Bible:
Exodus 23:
1Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
2Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
3Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.
BTW … hi all… sorry I’ve missed a few days. Started my new job on Monday, the same day I came down with a bad cold … my voice is now completely gone. Adrenaline kept me going into the office each morning, but I’d come home and just crawl into bed at night.
Thankfully, I’m off today.
“Norton called it “truly gratifying” to see how easy it is to mobilize social justice campaigns in the age of social media.”
Mob-i-lize!
And doesn’t see far enough to discern how just such a case argues why the founders were foresighted. And argues with persuasive finality against the District of Columbia ever getting out from under the control of the Federal G0vernment.
[a1s8c17: To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, . . . ]
What is this “social justice ” of which they speak? And where is it found in our Constitution? Perhaps under the “Good and Plenty ” Clause?
You’ve got to hand it to Sharpton, he sure knows his Bible. It’s right there in Paul’s 2nd letter to the Farrakahns, Chapter 1, verse 13: “Jesus was pounding Pilate’s head into the Via Dolorosa, when Pilate pulled out a cross and nailed him to it.” And the rest, as they say, is history.
Gonna be tough to eat Skittles with those holes in his hands.
“What is this ‘social justice’ of which they speak?”
It’s simply doing “justice” to the whole of society, as though the whole of society were a single, unified, coherent and integrated being toward which the stance can be taken that it’s possible to do justice; all while running unjust rough-shod over vast numbers of individuals within this fantastically manufactured entity, “the whole”. It is thus doing manifold “injustice” in the retail, while pretending to do “justice” in the wholesale. It’s cruel, sure, but it’s cruelty done with the “best” of intentions.
Many heads all linked to the same progressive-socialist body.
h/t Weasel Zippers for both.
I suspect that the chasm between me and them will not be bridged.
The only words anyone ever speaks to Al Sharpton should be “Tawana Brawley”. The answer to any question he asks should be “Tawana Brawley”. All you need to know about Al Sharpton is “Tawana Brawley”.
Ya know, yesterday I said I didn’t do Family Law. But I remember something about “irreconcilable differences “. I’d even be satisfied with a no – fault divorce. I’ll even let them have some big coastal States. What say?
It also involves “collective salvation”. Together they form a religion involving worship(environmentalism), sacraments(abortion), rites(proscribed treatment of differing identity groups), relics(the communist manifesto), evangelism(the MSM), and a moral code designed to achieve utopia.
O!, and a prophet…
It’s gonna be a bitch when they come up empty. Please God, give us a black judge!
“What is this ‘social justice’ of which they speak?”
It’s largely a matter of them getting their hand in your pocket and stealing your shit.
I trust everyone out there has their CCW permit sorted? Don’t want to let old Tawana Sharpton down.
Because SHUT UP, Racist!
Darleen, Al Sharpton is an ordained minister, so he will be called Reverand forever and a day. That fact that he is a lying, racist murderer (Freddy’s Fashion Mart, anyone?) has caused him to be defrocked or whatever they call it.
Since he and the Martin’s ™ are all about the old misleading photos, I say someone should start posting pictures of the Rev from the early 90s when he had the James Brown hair, purple velour track suits and giant Flavor Flav bling-y medallions.
hasn’t caused
So, the bond hearing is next Friday and the judge I didn’t know was assigned is offering to recuse.
The other mob peeks out, sees it’s Springtime and announces their intentions.
What is the judicial virtue in passing the recusal buck? Seems to me to impeach her judgment right from the get-go. Just get out of the case lady, and expect a strongly worded letter from the local bar.
Shorter Judge Jessica (Please, God, get me recused!)
From Pablo’s link.
Judge hands “hot potato” back to Corey and says ‘It’s all yours dear, I just might be outta here soon.’
Why would she recuse herself? It’s not like her husband is advising the Martin’s ™ or is a police officer. I’m with you sdferr. She doesn’t want to hear the case and is grasping at straws.
“Why would she recuse herself?”
If I don’t miss the guess, the mere appearance that pillow talk makes its way to the husband’s boss (who has a commercial interest in his commentary role) is ground enough.
Nah, leigh, canon of ethics (I know, I know) requires full disclosure to avoid even the appearance of impropriety.
OT: Mittens is talking taxes to Wimmens of the NRA in St. Louis. On FOX.
Well, my sketchy knowledge of things legal comes from watching CourtTV and Angry Nancy Grace (seldom). That’s why I hire legal beagles when I need important advice.
The case itself is beginning to take on the appearance that some malevolent deity has decided to thoroughly discredit the criminal justice system of the State of Florida. And is guaranteed to become all the more appalling as the days flow by.
Jesus, huh?
Well shit. If they could’a got this done a week ago, Sharpton & the New (and improved) Black Panther Party could have stood outside the courthouse and chanted, “Barrabas!…Barrabas!”
The landscape is starting to resemble a psychiatric ward with peopled by folks who fancy themselves to be Jesus. Of course those folks are just crazy, not malevolent.
The gator god might be feeling a bit malevolent lately, given the poor showing UofF has been making in the SEC the last couple of years.
Time to feed some virgins to the gator god.
Time to feed some virgins to the gator god.
A virgin in Florida…
You’re funny leigh.
Hope Al doesn’t find out Jesus was a Jew.
I thought I was asking for too much after I hit post Lamont.

Ha leigh! There’s supposedly a Fountain of Youth in that state too.
For all of us who aren’t in possession of knowledge of how Florida law works, Breitbart has a handy guide.
That’s why I hire legal beagles when I need important advice.
Have you ever considered hiring an OUTLAW Basset?
Can’t say’s I have any law advisin’ to sell ya’, but if you need some quality kerning done, I’m your man. Dog. Whatever.
Oh definately, John. I would rather walk across broken glass that do any programming my own self.
It turns out Zimmerman had all but hired the bossman before he decided he’d rather talk on the teevee about him. He then referred GZ to O’Mara. So, hubby’s firm has actual fingerprints on the case.
leigh, I believe kerning is a typesetting term.
Shows what I know, Blake. I was thinking of “kernal errors”.
