This a-hole can't move to the afterlife fast enough.

Rev. Al Sharpton is condemning a jury’s decision to acquit a white Marine veteran in the chokehold death of a homeless Black man on a subway train in New York City last May.

Sharpton accused Daniel Penny, a 26-year-old who held 30-year-old Jordan Neely in a headlock until he stopped breathing, of “unnecessary vigilantism.”

“Today’s verdict in the Jordan Neely case does not change what we have known to be true in our hearts since the very beginning: Jordan Neely’s life was brutally taken away because of unnecessary vigilantism,” Sharpton said.

“This kind of behavior was inexcusable 40 years ago when Bernhard Goetz opened fire in a subway car, and it remained the case more than a year ago when Daniel Penny took Jordan’s life,” Sharpton said. “Jordan was in the middle of a mental health crisis, but instead of being offered a helping hand, he got an arm around his neck.” LINK

If the black community didn't insist on encouraging this behavior, there wouldn't be a need for "civilian vigilantism". I personally want to see more of it.

Except Penny’s actions weren’t vigilantism.

Penny was placed into a situation, through no fault of his own, where he was forced to engage in self-defense of himself and others. Perhaps if people like Sharpton weren’t against law and order then people like Penny wouldn’t be put into situations where they have to use force to protect themselves.

If the system doesn't do its job, the citizenry will.

This irrelevant POS might be the most accomplished grifter in history. Amazing that he actually ran for president

Fun Fact: Tucker traveled to Liberia in 2003 with Al Sharpton, Cornel West, and Louis Farrakhan

The "Sharpton" types must press this message for it is the use of "fear" that gets them what they want. With people standing up and defending themselves, now the perp has an element of "fear" to contend with.

Sharpton is a pure Race Hustler and his hustle is not condemned. Why is that?

I hope Trump gives Penny the Medal of Freedom so that some heads will really explode.

Jordan Neely’s speaks out after Daniel Penny was found not guilty:

“The system is rigged. Come on people. Let's do something about this.”

The race hustlers might be effective if they ever just let things go

But no they have to go full race hustle over every single thing no matter if race is involved in the least

fricking idiots

If Sharpton is concerned about "unnecessary vigilantism" then maybe he should dump his security detail who aren't sworn police officers. You know... a good faith effort to alleviate the risk of unnecessary vigilantism taking place.

The lesson for me is stay out of woke or black controlled cities. Penny is lucky that he isn't going to prison. I wonder how much his defense cost?

Hopefully Penny doesn't end up like Goetz. Probably have his pay garnished for the next 20 years and given to the shite heads crack head daddy.

If Al Sharpton actually gave a shite about black people he'd be down on the Rio Grande with a trowel in his hand building the wall. The Reverend needs black people in poverty. And this incident is just an opportunity to distract them from the real issues they are facing.

Of all the fricked up gobbledy asian talking points, this one might be the worst.

I don't give a frick if he is attacking or threatening me because he's fricking crazy, he wants my money or just doesn't like the way I look. It's all the same. In fact, the mental health aspect is the worst one. At least with the others you might could reason with them.

Saying he is crazy makes it worse, not better.
