Jesse Overshadowed
In what must have been one of the more humiliating appearances of his career:
- And even earlier Friday, not long after the start of the protests, the Rev. Jesse Jackson had been cut off as he spoke about the McDonald shooting.
Jackson’s Rainbow PUSH Coalition had organized the march, which brought together a variety of groups and community leaders. They had started at Michigan and Wacker. From there, Rev. Jackson had led several hundred people north on Michigan to the Water Tower, where several people were to speak.
Jackson, U.S. Rep. Danny Davis and more than a dozen other ministers and leaders crowded onto the steps of the historic tower. Crowds counted each bullet that struck McDonald. But as they began to pray and speak, several young men with bullhorns approached from all sides, overpowering their sound with chants of “Indict Rahm.”
“This is about indicting Mayor Rahm Emanuel,” one called. The ministers countered, “Let us pray, let us pray.”
“We’re not here to pray,” a voice repeated over a megaphone.
They pulled Jackson’s microphone and stormed the stairs. Someone yanked the cord to the speakers, knocking out Jackson’s audio.
“Indict Rahm!” the protesters shouted as a brief shoving match ensued.
Those who interrupted Jackson, included a group shouting “black power!” and carrying red, green and black flags.
Amid cries of “Send Rahm to jail,” Jackson and the other officials quickly dispersed as the masses hijacked Jackson’s presentation, and competed with the shoppers who flocked downtown to advantage of Black Friday sales.
Must have been a crowd of legal scholars or something. Jesse ran like the irrelevant has-been of recent years.

The monsters Jessie helped create grow out of control, much like Frankenstein's monster.
He looks like he is about to die. Or he is on drugs. Or both
My comment is not about Jesse, the fool. My comment is about the revolting idiot, Pfleger. I just sent an e-mail to the Archdiocese. Will you? Perhaps when they hear from enough people (and I have no idea what that magic number is) maybe they will finally do something about that fool. www.archdioceseofchicago.org
Why the fuck were we at the protest ??? While protesters blocked stores and threatened shoppers, we were told to do nothing. What a fucking joke, complete spineless pussies in charge.
New black panther party, been active for a while with growing numbers. More aggressive than the jagoff reverends
Same thing happened in Ferguson. They sent him packing. He is a fraud and totally irrelevant now.
Pffft!
Snicker!
BUWAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAH!
WHOOO!
Sweet Jeebus this shit is FUNNY!
It's a thing of terrible beauty when
two (or more) clown-cars of Chicago Fuckery
somehow managed to crash into each other.
Jesse Jackson surely filled the seat of his pants upon realizing
the ugly babies (and movement) he helped hand raise have turned
on him.
And he ran...
Is it too late for a collective final
"Fuck You and Yours" to the king
of poverty & tragedy pimping?
Hey Sparkle-Farts...
The man who said:
"Cut his nuts off" in
reference to you is
now vulnerable and
sliding down the splintery
spiral bannister of irrelevancy.
>Hint! Hint!<
Oh well.
Trotsky ran too only to have Stalin's NKVD
finally catch up with him in Mexico.
Thus be it ever.
It's amusing when they gnaw the bones of their own.
I listened to some of the protesters and their reasons for why they showed up.
They want McCarthy out. Rahm out, and even Anita out. When you start listening to their reasoning - they aren't totally wrong. In fact, they smelled out "incompetence" and they want these people removed.
There might be more hope for Chicago than what you think.
They may not have their whole argument right - but they DO KNOW who messed all this up.
It's not a Black/White thing - it's an incompetence thing and Chicago has had too much incompetence in key positions (as well as the major staff positions underneath those top positions) and it has now come to a head.
This is what happens when you put the wrong people in office - and their incompetence leads to major problems.
Maybe people will vote differently next time.
Indict Rahm? Hell, it could have been a cop saying that! Well done, office!
The Ministers countered, "Let us pray, Let us pray."
The crowd responded, "Let us prey, Let us prey."
Indict Rham
Luv it
Impeach rham? Sounds good to me!
JJ is a LOSER Time to hang it up
Looks like his chickens have come home to roost. He always wanted revolutionary scum on his side. His own PUSH website says that he's always been a "strong progressive." Well, now you got what you worked for, while your son and his wife brush off their prison sentences. How is this dickhead still relevant? As a side show freak. That's how.
Outstanding.
Wow! Do you think the teacher's union will be upset? They were kind enough to help Jesse robo-call and interrupt my Thanksgiving dinner...
March on Hermitage
Shut Rham down
Imagine the Rhamster stuck in his house
Protestors don't have the balls for that
CPD will be more than ready to defend their "Spots"

Jesse is an irrelevant joke and a man proven not worthy to lead anyone. Unfortunately Jesse's status is also,irrelevant. One of our own took a young man's life with no legal justification. End of story. The cover-up of the shooting video was hideous and as a city we all have to emerge from this mess. I refuse to believe that BLM narrative. I have been in law enforcement since Monday June 16, 1986 when I classed up with 86-3A. We are the city of big shoulders and the city will survive, and emerge a better place. This comes from an M1 Beat guy who is still locking folks up and being the real police!
I heard he tried to file a police report for his missing microphone.
Danny Davis who sends his representative to a police station when his relative gets locked up and asks for special favors from the police.
Oh yeah,that Danny Davis. Fuck all of you and fuck every white shirt that kisses their asses.
I had no idea there was a protest going on. We thought it was some sort of Thanksgiving parade. The streets were wide open and the shopping was great. They should limit Michigan avenue during big gift holidays (e.g. Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve). Our families were in town and they spent more $ than they have in years.
I wonder what Jesse Jackson and the other ministers wanted in extortion fees from the Michigan Avenue merchants to make this go away?
Wow, hundreds of protesters in a city of 3 million. LOL. And many of them were brought in from out of town. Do they realize all they do is turn public opinion against whatever "cause" they have? I know they could give two shits about the knife wielding druggie who was shot.
By the way, the biggest losers in all of this are the protesters and the media.
The cops have done a great job keeping things under control. Thanks.
any you tube footage of the revruns peeps turning against him? as they say, the young overtake the old. media cant cover for him much longer. it would make my weekend to see danny and jesse run for cover. waiting for NOI to turn on him as well. a dull knife in the backside would be more painful than a sharp one and I bet calypso louie has several.
Ha-Ha your time is over Jesse,no one listens to you. You're nothing to this younger generation!

Oh really 'Gwen'?!? So your kids and grandkids are Burglars, carry weapons, slice Tires, take PCP, and disobey Lawful commands from the police -- while they're still minors in high school ???
WOW! Some Mother & Grandmother you are.
(an aside: She's a 'social worker' from Hyde Park, that figures. She's 'prolly' a member of Communist Party too, or at the least has been to CPUSA meetings. Hyde Park is and always has been a hotbed for communists)
Ah welcome to the diversity of the chaos you and your ilk have espoused, Jackson.
Love it Jacksons rights get trampled upon by an unruly mob.
I live in Chicago. EVERY weekend there are blacks killing blacks and the sippy-cup media, Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton are nowhere to be found. And, it's been going on for decades.
Then a statistically infinitesimal occurrence of police shooting a black acting the fool takes place and they're all demonstrating.
If the black community is not outraged at their own killing each other on any given day, one of them shot by the police don't mean a thing to them either. G-d forbid they actually take responsibility as a community for the inordinate about if black on black killing.
Their demonstration, it's a hustle.
There are some 20 million police contacts/arrests in a year and maybe 5 incidents of really questionable shootings. What's the goal? No police? Chaos?
Walking down Michigan avenue yesterday, the media reported 3,000 protesters. What I saw was maybe 800-1,000. Many were aggressively blocking people from entering stores.
They have a right to demonstrate, but they don't have a right to block someone from entering a building.
It was apalling the police let that go on. But, Emanuel's spiking of the arrest of the officer for his own political benefit laid the ground work for giving the disrupters a pass on that.
It's unfortunate, Mr. McDonald was shot and killed. And, 16 shots to the man is very, very disconcerting, but I wasn't there. Second guessing is easy.
Viewing the short tape, it does appear McDonald was acting the fool walking around with a knife and most importantly NOT following the instructions of the police officers.
That is why HE is the person ultimately responsible for his own demise, even though it does appear the officer lost it and shot him when the officer should have kept his distance and taken other steps to keep McDonald from being a threat to others.

So me and the demonstrators agree on something. Rahm should be indicted.
The hierarchy of the Catholic Church in Chicago is scared to death of Michael Pflager. Question is why. As to all of the teachers who don't support Karen Lewis, are you making your voices heard?
The situation gets worse by the hour, and as an amateur historian I could not help but recall the similarity of what I saw in the video from Michigan Avenue, with old films. The films I specifically refer to were the newsreels of Kristallnact, November, 1938. At that time, young Nazi Storm Troopers, blocked the entrances to Jewish owned businesses, chanting anti-Jewish slogans. Fascism never sat really well with Capitalism, because Fascism demands total loyalty. Sort of like the Democrat Party does today, especially since it has gone so far to the left that they run candidates who tout Socialism. Remember, Hitler was a Socialist, but also a Totalitarian Dictator. In case we have forgotten the formal name for the Nazi Party was: National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP). And let's not forget, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, another Totalitarian form of "Socialist" Government. Chicago has been a dictatorship for decades, but this leaning towards Socialism is a very dangerous direction, especially when you add a Racial component. History has a ve habit of showing both the past, and sometimes the future. Sgt.Baby "G"
Where does one go to demand justice for taxpayers that support generations of citizens who have kids that they have no intention or ability to raise?
ha ha
Boy, an entire mob of aspiring poets shouting down The King Of Beers.
Poor Jesse, he done got dissed by his own. Maybe its time to go back shaking down corporations.
Jessie is a has been...
"...we want affordable housing, jobs, free education.." - great why won't you start by cleaning up your 'hood first. These are not protesters, these are freeloaders
Anyone remembers Wicker Park area in the 80's? Gangs, drugs, burned out buildings and cars. I hate to point the obvious, the place changed once white people started to move in. Gentrification is a term used to describe a process of cleaning up a neighborhood and getting slapped with high property taxes for the effort. It didn't happen by itself, CPD greatly contributed to cleaning up the crime in the area...it was such a success that old 13th district police station closed :)
I sent an email to the Bishop. Father Pflegher has to be stopped. He is an idiot and we all need to stop contributing to the catholic church until they do something about him. Hit them where it hurts....$$$$$, just like he wants to do to Michigan Ave businesses.
Black Reverends Matter!
NOT!

....a race baiter, extortionist, gang banger, free loader...
Karen Lewis and reasonable Chicagoans know the shooting and ridiculous delay in the investigation are wrong. Jvd will have his day in court. She and others are friends of good cops. Some po's. suffering from battered wife syndrome which is making all of law enforcement lose credibility. Cpd needs to have more training to stop people from getting complacent in tactics.
Off topic: my nephew looked up shooting and fond this video on YouTube also:
http://youtu.be/Wcb1VCkFll4
Some people need to go back to the academy. Gene Zaja would not be proud.
Rahm justs sits in the back seat and laughs at the likes of JJ, Lewis and the protesters. He feels everyone is afraid of him and that is why the folks dont't riot even after being lied to about the incident.

There's a new excuse to protest" the system is ruining our lives " It must be a wonderful world to live in when you can blame your life and your problems on the system all the time ,the same system that they live off of. Just like the female on tv said "they" took his life , he was just skipping along. Wow! So if it's acceptable to use "they" and" all cops, "then it's acceptable to use "these people".

No; Jesse is a 'never was'.
Zero and very embarrassing turnout for the so called "protesters" what a joke they are. The media is so sad that rioting didn't occurr. I saw a few old white ladies with the protesters that know nothing about crime or guns and are so dumb they prob think if you throw a bullet at someone it goes off.
I listened to some of the protesters and their reasons for why they showed up.
They want McCarthy out. Rahm out, and even Anita out. When you start listening to their reasoning - they aren't totally wrong. In fact, they smelled out "incompetence" and they want these people removed.

They sound like an angry Donald Trump speech. I think everyone not clouted is starting to realize the politicians are all just working for themselves. Democrats and Republicans both are screwing us rubes and getting rich from the favors they grant each other.
And Sgt. Baby G,
Barry Sanders says he is a National Socialist.
The hierarchy of the Catholic Church in Chicago is scared to death of Michael Pflager
Well that's easy to fix stop giving money and when inaction on Fake priest Mike costs money as well s the legal fees that will have to be disclosed there will be action. When I told my Pastor what and why all he could do was nod his head and then shake it as he walked away. It's all bout money anyway so use it to our advantage for a change. It's gonna take awhile cause the new Archbishop is a socialist foreigner, but money talks
The protesters today aren't persuading very many to their side with this behavior. I stopped listening to the BLM crowd the day they disrupted a Bernie Sanders campaign stop. Bernie Frekin' Sanders! C'mon - liberal/progressive organizations couldn't ask for a bigger friend in Washington yet they bully him into surrendering the microphone. The Me-First/Gimme Dat approach is going to work against them but they won't even notice. Enjoy that echo chamber BLM.
"That is why HE is the person ultimately responsible for his own demise, even though it does appear the officer lost it and shot him when the officer should have kept his distance and taken other steps to keep McDonald from being a threat to others."

The second or third shot killed him. The remaining 13,14 shots don't matter one bit.
The cop is innocent.
This entire incident could have been avoided! Rham has been mayor for 5 years. A cheap penny pinching politican. Every Chicago cop should have been equipped with a tazer , plain and simple. Just think rham the $5,000,000 you and your 50 alder thieves paid out could have been better used to equip your police department. All the cops on scene and no tazer present. Shame on you rham! Your lying ass needs to resign, anita will be gone next year, precwinkles and you will be around a bit longer. Hopefully you will be indicted .
Youths from the South side and Uptown prey on people on the North side on a daily basis. If white youths were descending on the South and West sides to viciously rob and beat African Americans, Pfleger, Jackson and others would be screaming racism and protesting in front of the cameras. Why doesn't anyone say anything about how whites are stalked and targeted? I'm not a racist -- really. I'm just tired of feeling like a hunted animal in my own neighborhood.
Ms. Preckwinkle marches and demonstrates against the Michigan Ave businesses that pay taxes and helps hurt those businesses, after getting elected by campaigning against the Stroger tax which she said was punitive. She get re-elected and then re-Instates the Stroger tax because the Cook County is short of tax revenue. To borrow a Trumpism--- 'Is she insane???'
Any black protest nowdays is going to be made up of a lot of gangsters and professional agitators trying like hell to start a scene and make trouble. Im just glad my fellow officers made it home without being hurt, or getting jammed up.
Just looking at the pictures of these ignorant assholes trying to start trouble is enough for me. Nice job boys and girls. Way to use your heads. Step out of line and use force with these fools and this Dept. will beat you like a rented mule.

Time to get out of you mama's basement. Stay off this blog.
"The second or third shot killed him. The remaining 13,14 shots don't matter one bit.

The remaining shots mattered plenty. If he shot someone on pcp 2 or 3 none of this would have never been more than a 15 second news story.
Does Jesse have anything to say about Junior pilfering from the people--- or how he is a fake Reverend. Which theologian college did he graduate from?
"Time for an FBI Investigation of:"
Um, the FBI and US Attorneys office have been investigating this case since at least the beginning of this year. So if you are claiming some sort of cover up then the Feds are in on in to, along with the state. And the parents. And the attorneys. That's quite a conspiracy. You are going to need more tin foil.
An explanation was given on the video and potential tainting of the jury pool. If you don't think that is reasonable then you are basically saying the video is no big deal. And if that is the case why are some people upset by it? Or is just another reason to protest and demand more free stuff? And the media is using it to just push ratings since most of them are on the verge of bankruptcy (thanks to their decades of pushing false stories on the public).
I wonder if Jesse planned it this way, you know, Jesse organizes the event being the voice of reason, and then gets hijacked by the youth.
Ms Preckwinle needs to resign, she has re-instituted the tax they named the Todd Stroger tax and what got her elected by the lie that she would abolish it. Jesse, I think might have dementia. the only good thing was the call for Rahm and Anita to resign.
