Now we're just going in circles. Til the next time, man -- God bless.
I wonder (and, honestly, I don't know because this is the first instance I've seen the name Shabazz associated with Freddie's Fashion Mart) if this is Malik Shabazz of The New Black Panther Party.Smith [the murderer] had been part of a group of picketers, led by Al Sharpton , head of the National Action Network and Morris Powell , leader of the 125th Street Vendor's Association, who had been protesting the eviction of Sikhulu Shange, owner of the Record Shack who was subletting from Fred Harari, the Jewish owner of Freddy's.
The picketing, which had gone on for months, had led Harari to seek relief with the State Supreme Court. In papers filed just one day before the fire, he said, "Recently, the protesters have made motions of striking a match and throwing it on outside clothing displays or in the doorway of the store." An affidavit by Kareem Brunner, a black security guard killed in the blaze, said that he had been called a "cracker lover" and "would get mine as a traitor [to the black race]." Brunner, was the only black that Smith did not order out of the store before setting it afire.
Besides Smith and Brunner, all the other victims of the fire were Hispanic and Guyanese. Store manager, Steve Brodsky, described how a particularly vicious demonstrator called Shabazz would force his way into the store, pushing Brodsky aside and shout "I will be back to burn the Jew store down -- burn, burn, burn." It has been reported that there is evidence that Shabazz worked for Mr. Shange.
But, to the point, Sharpton stoked the racial unrest that resulted in Smith committing arson, murder, and suicide.

maybe he'll go out like carradine.

Not enough to actually check.
So Bush is responsible for Abu Ghraib.But, to the point, Sharpton stoked the racial unrest that resulted in Smith committing arson, murder, and suicide.
Abu Ghraib is a very weak analogy Bouchump.
But technically, as commander in chief it was ultimately his responsibility anyway.
What's weak is thinking a guy like Sharpton is responsible for any nutjob who decides to show up to a protest.
Might as well blame the music he was listening to.
Al Sharpton is an annoying spotlight seeker under the guise of a great civil rights champion. I agree with some of his points, but it was pathetic though when Michael Jackson died he was on every network showing a pic of him and MichaelThe dude gets desperate for the spotlight.

My job description is always seeking justice for ALL.
Ted Nugent can kiss my black ass.
Say, when's the last time you stood with the family of a black teenager, shot by another black teenager, seeking justice?
Just saying.
Not gonna lie, I based my post on a mad lib from the 2008 elections.
