Al Sharpton: Race Baiter, Bigot, and Inciter of Riots -Criminal

Small wonder Al Sharpton has failed to condemn Barack Obama for his association with Black Racist Pastor Jeremiah Wright, or for that matter the America hating Pastor Wright himself for his anti-American tirades and hate-speech, he agrees with them both.

His promise to "close this city down" in reaction to the just acquital of the policemen involved in the Bell shooting, prove that he is less interested in justice, than in inciting violence for his own gain.

The facts in this case are apparent for all who so chose to see. This was no conspiracy to kill an unarmed black man, this was another tragic example of the unintended consequences of wrong actions.

Court documents make it abundantly apparent that there was at least sufficient evidence that the suspects were armed and their actions, in ramming a police van twice in their efforts to escape the scene of their confrontation outside of Club Kalua, a Strip Club suspected of being a center for criminal activities.

Suspicion of the criminals being armed was exacerbated by their own words and conduct. In the words of the court:

"THE SUV OWNER, FABIO COICOU, GAVE THE IMPRESSION THAT HE HAD A GUN, CAUSING AT LEAST ONE OF THE GROUP TO THREATEN TO TAKE IT AWAY FROM HIM."

So we have proof that even members of Bell's own group believed a firearm was involved.
Further, again quoting from the official court documents:

"AND, THE COURT FINDS, ANOTHER THREAT WAS MADE BY JOSEPH GUZMAN TO RETRIEVE A GUN."

So here we have individuals behaving in a sufficiently suspicious manner to attract the attention of the undercover police at the scene.

According to the official court documents, things escalated quite rapidly from that point forward. Again quoting:

"DEFENDANT ISNORA APPROACHED THE NISSAN ALTIMA INTO WHICH MR. GUZMAN AND SEAN BELL, TWO OF THE MORE ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS IN THE HEATED EXCHANGE, ENTERED.

THE ALTIMA, WHICH WAS DRIVEN BY MR. BELL, SPED AWAY FROM ITS PARKED POSITION, STRUCK DEFENDANT ISNORA AND COLLIDED HEAD ON WITH THE POLICE VAN THAT HAD ENTERED LIVERPOOL STREET. THE ALTIMA THEN WENT INTO REVERSE, BACKED UP ON TO THE SIDEWALK, STRUCK A GATE AND THEN WENT FORWARD AND TO THE RIGHT, STRIKING THE POLICE VAN AGAIN. AS THIS WAS HAPPENING, DEFENDANT ISNORA -- WHO TESTIFIED IN THE GRAND JURY --OBSERVED MR. GUZMAN, THE FRONT PASSENGER, MOVE HIS BODY AS IF HE WERE REACHING FOR A WEAPON. DEFENDANT ISNORA YELLED, “GUN” AND FIRED.

OTHER OFFICERS, INDICTED AND UNINDICTED, JOINED IN FROM DIFFERENT LOCATIONS ON THE STREET."

Judging from the court documents and the testimony cited, there is no doubt that, though tragic, the events which resulted in the death of Sean Bell, who was driving the vehicle, were largely the result of the actions of Sean Bell and his fellow passengers.

What Al Sharpton and the rest of the race baiting crew are doing is unconscionable and criminal. The last time I checked incitement to riot is a criminal act and not protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution.

Al Sharpton has intentionally raised the tenor of the rhetoric surrounding this case for his own self-aggrandizement. As indicated in this story in News MyWay:

Sharpton vows to 'close this city' after officer acquittals

"We strategically know how to stop the city so people stand still and realize that you do not have the right to shoot down unarmed, innocent civilians," Sharpton told an overflow crowd of several hundred people at his National Action Network office in the historically black Manhattan neighborhood. "This city is going to deal with the blood of Sean Bell.

--------snip--------------

Sharpton urged people to return for a meeting this coming week "to plan the day that we will close this city down" with the kind of "massive civil disobedience" once led by Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

"They never accused Sean Bell of doing anything. Then why is he dead?" Sharpton asked, his voice roaring with anger. Authorities "have shown now that they will not hold police accountable. Well, guess what? If you won't, we will!"

"Shut it down! Shut it down!" the crowd chanted, standing up and applauding wildly."

It is also apparent from Sharpton's failure to condemn those in the crowd who were shouting "Kill the police!" That his intentions in this whole affair are anything but honorable.

As for the contemptible Sharpton's rhetorical question, "They never accused Sean Bell of doing anything. Then why is he dead?" The answer is readily apparent in the court documents, which I quoted earlier...the police were never given a chance to accuse him of anything, because he attempted to run one of them down and smashed into their van, not just once, but twice. Once may be a mistake, but twice is an intentional act.

I am also tired of hearing the cries about "50 bullets," being shouted as though it is something unheard of or out of the ordinary in this kind of incident. In a panic life and death situation, rapid and repeated fire, including reloading is not all that unusual, but the fact that one officer, Michael Oliver accounted for 31 of the 50 shots, would suggest that better training and higher requirements for more combat firearms training and better muzzle discipline.

What must rankle Reverend Al the most is that because the first officer to fire his gun, and 3 of the 5 officers involved in this incident were black, he can't even call it "racism."

This was a sad affair, but the only crimes committed were the hit-and-run committed by Sean Bell, and Al Sharpton's efforts to stir up racial unrest and incite his little following to riot.

Time for Al Sharpton to go to prison...I know it will never happen, because the New York government lacks the guts to do so, but that is the only way justice will be served.

Long Live Our American Republic!!!
