Al Sharpton is not one to be commenting on this. I recall at least one major incidence of violence where he was eager to jump in and get some publicity for himself. I don't think he actually cared about the victim.

He noted two incidents, one with Grammy winner Lil' Kim in 2001, > involving shootings outside a New York hip hop station owned by Emmis > Communications Corp., Hot 97 FM.

I wish I could comment, but I'd need to know something about the specific incidents before I could say anything.
