He is trying to rewrite history and he is getting help from the main stream media, he even recently got a show on one of the major networks. He makes it sound like his biggest mistake was not mantioning Yankel Rosenbaum HY”D in his speach, as if he is not the one responsible for inciting the violence that led to the riots to brgin with.

He was living in New Jersey so he didn’t know that Yankel Rosenbaum had been murdered by a mob of black youths? He didn’t read the papers, listen to radio, or watch the TV news? Somehow I’m not convinced.

what a filthy liar.
I couldn’t even read his hypocritical, deceiving, piece. I stopped when he claimed he saw brick throwing on both sides!!!
what a disgusting, worthless, hateful excuse of a human being.
he incited, he stoked flames of vicious anti-semitism, he never apologized, and now we are supposed to be understanding of all his supposed issues and misunderstandings.
when he was invited to that panel about the riots earlier, it was akin to inviting the pyromaniac to the funeral service of his victims.

How convenient of Al Sharpton to leave out specifics of “the mistakes”.

The following is part of an article in this weeks Mishpacha magazine by Eitan Kobre. He quotes an eye witness by the name of Kopel who states:
I still vividly remember Sharpton’s booming voice screaming “We’ve got to make them pay for what they did to little Gavin Cato”. Then he led the mob in a chant “Who do we need to get?” But the crowd apparently needed cueing, mumbling something about ‘whitey’ and ‘chassidim’. So Sharpton persisted in his chant and when they still didn’t pick up on the response he wanted, he thundered “The Jews!” And that became the chant “Who do we need to get?”. ‘The Jews!’

Based on the above article I would have wanted to read about his apology for inciting the hooligans but alas he didn’t. His apologies are vacant and might I add insincere.

He’s history in the Afro-american commuity, so in order for him to still get media and public attention -he resorts to this somewhat appeasement talk. E/o knows whatever he did, whenever he did it including all those “peaceful” rallies was for his own Kovod. The Afro-american community has abandoned him and have more respect for people like B. Obama, than rabble rousers like him.

Is this supposed to be an apology for his significant contribution to the violence??? I stood & watched Al Sharpton lead a Blacks-only (with a couple of whiteys thrown in to “prove” there’s no bias) march through Crown Heights, deliberately on Shabbos, the first Shabbos after the riots. His intention was to keep the fires of hate burning. Let me tell you all, it was really terrifying.

All Sharpton’s mission is to promote hate of all white people & especially Jews. Don’t be fooled into thinking this leopard has changed his spots. He is pure evil and if he reads this, I’ll be happy to say it to his face, publicly, any time, any place.

What about those white interlopers? Or the store Sharpton incited to be burned down, killing some white guys.

Al Sharpton is nothing but a trouble maker and should be pushed aside by anyone wanting peace. He stirs the crowd for violence; did and still does
