Followed the link and found another good read

Probably deserving of it's own thread... I know that I can personally relate.

I didn't know that bit about Jessie Jackson. Too bad he felt it was necessary to resort to theft.

You do understand it is Rev. Jesse's son, Jesse Jr. Right?

I agree that the point of this thread is entirely vague. Also, the article itself is nonsensical. There is no evidence that the crimes were related in any way to admiration of MLK; strictly this journalist's weird twist on unrelated facts.

What a bizarre blog post. Can't say I ever get news or facts from such sites.
