Fox NewsRev. Jesse Jackson Arrested at Gun Shop Protest

CHICAGO — 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.

What's the connection between the gun shop and a gang shooting?

Jesse Jackson in my opinion nothing more than an African American version of Rosie O'Donnell. Loud, in your face and with a lot of nothing sensible to say.

Jackson the race baiter. You can bet it wasnt a white boy that was shot. But I bet its a white man that owns the gun shop.

Jesse the race baiter Jackass KNOWS that criminal gang bangers DO NOT buy weapons at the gun shop. He is only trying to spread that insane notion to the sheeple of Chicago.

He is a professional liar.

Of all places, Chicago

AWB
FOID to possess/buy a gun
FOID card to buy ammo


They had some stuff on Anderson Cooper awhile ago on all of these chicago school age kid murders. Jackson went on about guns, but the guns he mentioned were all AW and are banned. Daily went on about guns. Anderson mentioned some of the kids were strangled and stabbed and Daily just said if guns were banned it would stop everything. As usual none of their comments make any sense, let alone have any factual basis.

Too bad they didn't send any of the chicago pd officers that have a habit of beating civilians to arrest Jackson.

Maybe he will protest outside of an auto dealer next for the death of an A-A that was killed by a WASP that drove drunk ???
