The Rev. Jesse Jackson was arrested Saturday at a demonstration outside a south suburban gun shop and charged with one count of criminal trespass to property.
Jackson was arrested when he refused to move away from the entrance to Chuck's Gun Shop in Riverdale, police said. He has protested with other community activists outside the shop in recent weeks after a 16-year-old honor student was gunned down on a city bus.
Police said the shooting was gang-related but the teen was not the intended target.
Jackson, who says the gun shop's proximity to Chicago provides gang members and criminals easy access to firearms, has used the protests to call for stricter gun laws.
The Rev. Michael Pfleger, a Catholic priest who oversees a South Side congregation, also was arrested and charged with Jackson. A message seeking comment from the gun shop was not immediately returned Saturday afternoon.Two teens have been charged as adults with taking part in the May shooting of Blair Holt, an honor student at Julian High School.
Is Jesse Jackoff on dope? Does he really think that KKK sympathizers really give a damn about “Niggers” using guns brought from their shops to kill each other? Can somebody tell this Negro civil whites leader that the days of getting sympathy from throwing childish tantrums in front of white men ended with the 1960’s.
This Negro is just wasting millions of our tax dollars that his Rainbow (fag-hag) organization receives from the whitey he loves to hate by the name of Uncle Sam and his corporate nephews. The 10 to 20 thousand dollars that he and Al Charlatan spends per trip to denounce bad white men and to endorse good white men could be going to create jobs in poor black neighborhoods. Damn, why do black leaders hate white people more than they love black people?
