They were all members of the "Black Community" which they claim to represent

Probably. I'm a proud and registered Democrat, but recently I have to say that I have lost some respect for Al Sharpton. He seems to be trying overly hard to become an icon of the legal rights movement and at times I think he is too quick to jump to conclusion. If injustice happens to an African-American, or even if it doesn't, Al Sharpton will be there so that all of America sees him on national TV

No.



Speaking slowly: The complaint in the Martin case was not that a black man was killed. (Unfortunately, black men being killed is really not paid attention to by the media, whether it's white on black or black on black).



The complaint was that an obvious, confessed killer had not even been arrested, much less charged, two months after the fact. He has now been arrested and charged. Seen Al or Jesse at protests lately? No.



Edit: Of course you're comparing this to the Martin case.

No one has any respect for those race baiting homos. They will never feel the same way about a white person getting pounded by blacks as they do about a black person getting pounded by whites.



I hope I am wrong but if this behavior continues there are going to be race riots all across this country.

why are Al and Jesse SO IMPORTANT to some of you? they must really get your goat! LOL! Qwert, why should they condemn the "Black community" when crimes are committed by individuals? Al didnt blame the "white community" for Trayvon's murder, he called for an arrest and an investigation...what do you object to regarding that?

They have nothing to say.

Are they actively trying to defend the guys that did it?

Are they fighting to the death to blame the victim, excuse the attackers, and prevent an investigation and trial, like you guys did with Trayvon and Zimmerman.

You mean to a Florida judge for inciting mob violence?



Liberals: THIS is what you've become.



Anarchists, OWS and now racial violence have come to be tolerated more by the left than patriotism and freedom.

Is the mob being investigated or did the local authorities decide that it wasn't a crime like they initially did in the Martin case?



If there is an investigation and authorities acknowledge that a crime was committed, you are comparing apples to oranges. Both the Martin case and this one are tragedies - the big difference is in how officials treated them.

No need, we all have the white wing (the Cons) to stand up against violence by non-white, non-christians, non-straight, etc.

I haven't read you link yet but I bet the police didn't release the suspects because they said they acted in self defense.
