Al Sharpton Reacts To Zimmerman Verdict

Saturday, July 13, 2013 (New York, NY) “The acquittal of George Zimmerman is a slap in the face to the American people but it is only the first round in the pursuit of justice. We intend to ask the Department of Justice to move forward as they did in the Rodney King case and we will closely monitor the civil case against Mr. Zimmerman. I will convene an emergency call with preachers tonight to discuss next steps and I intend to head to Florida in the next few days.”

Reverend Al Sharpton commented on MSNBC:
I think that this is an atrocity. I think that it is probably one of the worst situations that I have seen. What this jury has done is establish a precedent that when you are young and fit a certain profile, you can be committing no crime, just bringing some Skittles and ice tea home to your brother and be killed and someone can claim self-defense, having been exposed with all kinds of lies, uh, all kinds of inconsistencies.

We had to march to even get a trial and even at trial, when he’s exposed over and over again as a liar, he is acquitted. This is a sad day in the country. I think that we clearly must move on to the next step in terms of the federal government and in terms of the civil courts. Clearly we want people to be very disciplined and strategic, but this a slap in the face to those that believe in justice in this country.

Al Sharpton is the biggest racist and race hustler in America. He has no credability or rational thought. Anything he has to say is idiotic and illogical. What a moron.

WHo cares about Sharpton, he is a major Racist.... What about the Black Panthers, when will they be brought accountable for their actions, words. Let one White group say what they say and they will be in jail quick.

The sides did not equal out, they have swung the other direction, I as a white male owe you NOTHING. If you dont earn, not smart enough to work for it, stop asking for it free.

Un freaking real...

why does everyone turn to these blow hards. sharpton, jackson. they are only involved to stir the pot. these jurors did only as they were instructed by the judge and the law. which says beyond a reasonable doubt.if there was even one little thing that they question about his guilt they had to do as they did. I guess Mr. Sharpton did not listen in civics class.

When people like Sharpton and Jackson move on, the Racial Card will drop. If all else fails, lets pull the Racial Card. I am tired of hearing it. When people like this are gone, racism will slow down, and the world will be a better place.

Yeah 238, because we all know racism had been stomped out before Al and Jackson came on the scene

3:07, nobody said racism wasn't alive and well before Sharpton and Jackson but the way these two idiots keep pouring gasoline on the fire is absolutely disgusting. They claim to be fighting racism while being the biggest racists of all. The sad part is they don't want racism gone, they want more because it is the only thing keeping their sorry asses relevant.

heathen rev. al needs to go back to his room, lock the door and never come out again. nut case in overdrive. trouble maker to all.

That's why I can't respect or even feel sorry for the parents. Now if they had turned to 2 pillars of society I may feel different. Jackson's own house is a mess with a thief drug addict son and Sharpton is a tax cheat and also lied about the Brawley girl years ago.
You are known by the company that you keep and these 2 men are nothing to hold in high esteem as leaders within the black community.
