I think back to when Don Imus made a stupid joke and called the Rutgers Women's Basketball team, "Nappy Headed Hoes." Reverend Al was all up his ass, and did everything in his power to get Imus fired...Sharpton is always willing to call out wrong doers...Well, not always!
This past Easter Sunday in what seems to have become a Easter tradition, Hundreds of gang members, (at least that what they have been called in the limited press coverage) mostly minorities, took to Time Square, threatening people, being "rowdy" and how can I forget, the shooting...4 people were shot and at least 33 were arrested after the evening's events, which the Mayor referred to as "Wilding."
I first heard about this on Tuesday's Opie & Anthony Show...So then I googled it, where I found this...http://www.amny.com/urbanite-1.812039/times-square-wilding-has-many-on-edge-1.1848965
It took a couple of days before I caught wind of this...But as long as we shoe another Tiger Woods press conference, right?
So I have a couple questions...I know there are some people from New York who stop by my little blog...I want to know what you think about this...Is it really a big deal...Or was it just some kids being dolts...Although I think it's hard to play that card when guns are fired...
Also New Yorkers...Are you concerned that that murders are up 22% and shootings are up 19%...I'm sure it doesn't help that the city, just like mine, has continued to make cutbacks in the police department...Real smart move there...A recession is the last time you should be cutting back on you police and fire...
My last question...Where the hell is Reverend Al? Why isn't he being a leader? Not just a African American leader...But a leader for the community...Why isn't he admonishing these people for their actions...Their actions towards random people in Time Square, and their actions towards each other...You see, the four people that were shot by those "wilding" were also four people who were also "wilding."
If it was Johnny Cracker and his Redneck buddies acting like assholes towards random people...Threatening them...Roughing them up...Shooting guns...Oh, you damn sure know Reverend Al Sharpton would be raising holy hell...Well It's time for "Leaders" to stop being hypocrites...If you call out one asshole...Call out all assholes!
I'm sure some one will say I'm a racist for this post...I'm not...I'm speaking honestly, and want others to do the same...I'm looking for other people's thoughts and opinions on this...I'm also bothered that this, like so many other important news stories gets passed by quickly, so we can see the real important stuff...Like who Tiger and Jesse James had a threesome with...
REACT TO ME!
Later, The Beeze.
