Another perfect example of how the ultra right wing goons are filled with nothing but hate, ignorance and inciting violence.
Freddie's Fashion Mart
In 1995, a black Pentecostal Church, the United House of Prayer, which owned a retail property on 125th Street, asked Fred Harari, a Jewish tenant who operated Freddie's Fashion Mart, to evict his longtime subtenant, a black-owned record store called The Record Shack. Sharpton led a protest in Harlem against the planned eviction of The Record Shack.[32][33][34] Sharpton told the protesters, "We will not stand by and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business."[35] On December 8, 1995, Roland J. Smith Jr., one of the protesters, entered Harari's store with a gun and flammable liquid, shot several customers and set the store on fire. The gunman fatally shot himself, and seven store employees died of smoke inhalation.[36][37] Fire Department officials discovered that the store's sprinkler had been shut down, in violation of the local fire code.[38] Sharpton claimed that the perpetrator was an open critic of himself and his nonviolent tactics. Sharpton later expressed regret for making the racial remark, "white interloper," and denied responsibility for inflaming or provoking the violence.
More BS Roy? Try reading more and assuming less, more than one had already said they do not like the guy. I will add my voice to that opinion. Some of you righties love painting in broad brush strokes, ALL Libs this, ALL Libs that, when the Fact of the matter is that it is Never true. It is obvious that the OP wanted to make this a Libs vrs Conservative thing, their thread is one huge failure in that reguard.

Owning Al Sharpton would seem the equivalent of owning a hamster. Who cares?
