Sharpton calls for justice outside Madoff's home

[2pac Shakur]

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Saying Bernard Madoff enjoys a "gilded penthouse incarceration," civil rights activist Al Sharpton led a rally outside the accused swindler's Manhattan home on Saturday urging equal justice for the rich and poor.

Sharpton and about 30 other demonstrators protested that Madoff was being allowed to remain free pending trial while poor people with no access to top legal representation languished in prison for relatively minor infractions.

"There must be one standard for all, and not one based on income," Sharpton said at the protest on Manhattan's affluent Upper East Side.

Dave Chappelle should have been at the protest.

And Tawana Brawley!

You think Chappelle would have shot Madoff's dog?

Did sharpton pay his taxes yet, or is he still saying the only reason they're trying to make him pay them is because he's not white?

While Sharpton has a point its hard to listen to him after he ruined the lives of those guys in Orange (or was it Dutchess) county. Effing disgraceful. He and Bill Cosby should go to hell for that.

I know how to solve two problems at once.

Send Madoff to Gitmo and the terrorists to the penthouse imo

Hmmm...you must have meant: "Sharpton, outside Madoff's home, calls for justice." The way you wrote it, I thought that he was calling for justice just outside Madoff's home, but not necessarily anywhere else! But, then again, it is Al Sharpton!

Jack can't bring himself to criticize someone who is really liberal without also criticizing someone who is a little less liberal. Since Cosby committed the sin of being sympathetic towards Brawley early on, he is the easiest target.
