Now, I am going to start off by saying, "I lived in Crown Heights during the riots in the 90's," Al Sharpton did nothing to incite that. The situation with Tawaana Brawley was an unfortunate one, but just like with the "ballon boy," mess, certain situations tug at your heart strings.
So here we are in 2009 and Rush Limbaugh is accusing Al Sharpton, (who Irie ain't really got that much love for), of starting the riots n Crown Heights, Brooklyn New York. He is demanding and apology from Limbaugh. Limbaugh made the statment in The Wall Street Journal. He also said that Sharpton incited the riots in 1995 killing spree at a harlem store.
Now why is Limbaugh such and idiot. You can't go around making, "blanket statements, " like that unless you can prove it.
Several hundred protesters briefly shut down traffic at entrances to the Queensboro Bridge, the Triborough Bridge, the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan Bridge and the Holland Tunnel and Queens-Midtown Tunnel this afternoon as part of a coordinated series of protests over the acquittal of three New York City police detectives in the fatal shooting of Sean Bell in 2006.
The Rev. Al Sharpton, who coordinated the protests, was among more than 200 people who were arrested by the police — nearly all of them in an orderly fashion — for blocking traffic
I just have a problem with Al Sharpton. He wants so badly to be the Martin Luther King Jr of the 21st Century. The main difference is that Dr. King was consistent in his civil rights role. Sharpton seems to pop up after or during the problem. Then he takes it to "new heights." I don't think he will ever live down the Tawana Brawley incident. He aggressiveness at taking on these cases haspeople questioning his intentions.
