Hoorah! Maybe a judge will toss Sharpton in jail for a year. This would be nice; America could enjoy a year vacation from Sharpton's media whore rants.
Sharpton and his people violated our laws. I am curious if Sharpton will be given a slap on the wrist or if Sharpton will be punished in a way the rest of us would be punished.
Will Sharpton be treated with equality in justice?

There is a better way to deal with 50 shots and protesting is not it. There are better ways to eduacte people about how to deal with injustice. Why does it take tragedy to bring people together on an issue? The African American Community must always come together, not only when we are being victimized.

That's true E. Tillery as is calamity or trouble and it's effects on our lives to call on the name Jesus. It shouldn't be that way but it is and we should then be on one accord. I support Sharpton and the Bell family for Justice for Sean. America doesn't realize it but she's in total disobedience to God in her treatment of her citizens as well as nations abroad and unfortunately the Bible suggests that reaping is the product of sowing. Our worst days are still ahead. God bless us all in these last moments.

My objection to Sharpton and his people is they have taken the law into their own hands and are punishing people indiscriminately.
Sharpton and his people violate our laws by blocking roadways. Those people on those roads had nothing to do with the Sean Bell tragedy yet Sharpton and his people are punishing them. These are commuters going about their daily business, going to work, coming home from work, going to the grocery, taking children to school and all that. Nonetheless, Sharpton and his people punish and terrorize those innocent people.
Not only does Sharpton and his people terrorize Americans, they pull police officers off their normal street patrols and block emergency services, such as firemen and paramedics.
Who does Sharpton and his people think they are to endanger the lives of innocent people? What explanation would he offer if people died because of his actions? The man is a terrorist.
Sharpton is saying to America, "Do what I tell you or I will punish you."
Sharpton and his people are criminals, are terrorists and are a disgrace to all of America. All of them need to be tossed into jail for an appropriate amount of time.
Really annoys me Sharpton thinks he has a right to frighten America into doing what he dictates.
Well, up his, I say! Toss the bum into jail where he belongs, before he kills people.
Will appropriate justice be served to Sharpton and his people? I think not.

I say "go ahead Rev Al" But the reality is this:
Protesting does not have power in this arena right now,not with the economic decline that America is now facing, high over-the-top- gasoline prices, forcing high food prices, coupled with the decline in the mortgage industry, cities filing bankruptcy because they can not pay city workers or their bills,not to mention hundreds of companies closing, downsizing, lay-offs, and a world wide food shortage. There are bigger problems brewing! The American infrastructure is about to explode and he is trying to put out a small fire with a cup of water. I am truly sadden at the fact this woman's husband was traggically snatched from her in a brutal way. It was mishandled. It was wrong. It was over-kill and speaks volumes about police brutality that still exists. But folks, we have much bigger problems to address NOW!
