Several of these protests escalated to the point of violence, in several cases by those who Sharpton championed. Examples include the Crown Heights riot of 1991, and a 1995 arson attack on a Jewish Harlem jeweler that resulted in 8 deaths. That attack came months after Sharpton made remarks about the "white interloper". (He later apologized, saying that he wouldn't use the word white again in that context.)

Thanks for the information. From the second link, I believed everything exept the Drug Bust, so give me a couple of hours researching it. Also, the case with Ms. Brawley is insain. Sharpton had no buisness trying to HANDLE the press of this young ladies situation. Plus, what did he have to defend, the fact that she was caught telling 2 diffrent stories? Let me read more on this and I'll get back with you guys
