Anybody Remember Tawana Brawley?

[tobster]

Wikipedia can relate the facts better than I, but in a nutshell Tawana Brawley was a young black girl who accused several white men of beating and raping her. Some were reported to be police officers and one a county prosecutor. Rev.(I use that term lightly) Al Sharpton led the charge for justice,claiming racism,etc. (sound familiar)  A Grand Jury determined the girl's claims were false and Sharpton was sued for defamation of character by the prosecutor and ordered to pay restitution. In the end the accused people's reputations were pretty well trashed but Rev. Al is still going strong stirring up lynch mobs and making a pretty good buck doing it. I'm not saying the Florida situation is the same, but it sure wouldn't hurt for everyone to take a step back and wait for all the facts to become known before Zimmerman becomes the poster boy for vigilante justice.

yeah, they were trying to lay the ground-work for reparation even back then,
their yelling usually ends in some kind of demand for money.
they don't want equality or justice, just cash.

YEP, I remember that story. I wonder how much money al made off of his stirring the pot, he was in Lou not long ago stirring up the natives, can't remember what excuse it was this time. POWDERMAN.

I lived and worked in Dutchess County NY where the Tawana Brawley case took place.  It was not pleasant.  Had the opportunity to meet Dr. Michael Boden, NYS Police Forensic Pathologist who determined that the human feces allegedly smeared on Brawley was actually dog feces....  Let's wait for all the facts on the present case..

Facts starting to come to light now that may prove the usual suspects have egg on their faces    again. Lets hope that Zimmerman gets fair treatment.
