Jesse "The Noisemaker" Jackson Leads Another Non-Event

Despite no evidence of legal wrongdoing, the Rev. Jesse Jackson wants a Lake Barrington gun plant shut down.

Of course he does.

It's outrageous that the idiot "Authorized Journalists" allow this racist fraud to get away with so many unchallenged lies, but it's obvious they don't have the subject matter competence needed to fairly present this story in the first place.

And Kevin Richardson and "proud gun owner" Robert Abboud are certainly pieces of...work, aren't they?

Another bit of journalistic omission: How many stories mention the number of attendees? From this picture, it looks like about a dozen showed up. Why does that result in such disproportionate coverage? And who these people are as individuals shouldn't be factored into the credibility of what it is they're demanding?

It does appear that at least one official gets it:

In an open letter to the Rev. Jesse Jackson, Lake County Sheriff Mark Curran said this weekend that protesting against a Lake Barrington gun manufacturer would not solve the growing problem of gun violence.

In a statement that noted his office spent $5,200 providing security at an August 2007 protest outside D.S. Arms, 27 W. 900 Industrial Ave., Curran suggested it would be more beneficial to find alternative solutions to curb random acts of violence involving guns...

The sheriff told Jackson that children needed to be taught the sanctity of human life, community leaders should examine why young men kill each other and parents should encourage sexual abstinence for kids and young adults.
