Sharpton Wants Street To Be Named After Sean Bell

Avenue of the garbage gangsta

you have got to be kidding me..........

I wish a Sean Bell like neighbor on every council member who voted for this.

"Mommy, who was Sean Bell?"

"A drug dealer, who's last acts on Earth were trying to procure a prostitute, threatening people, then driving drunk into a police officer."

"Why is this street named for him?"

"50 shots!"

Wow Mommy I want to be just like him, I can't wait to be a waste on society. I am going to start tomorrow by dropping out of school.

According to: http://www.cityclerk.nyc.gov/html/marriage/license.shtml

"You must wait a full 24 hours before your Marriage Ceremony can be performed unless you obtain a Judicial Waiver." I guess Sean was hanging waiting for the Judicial waver in the early hours with his homies.

WHY WASN'T THIS FACT BROUGHT OUT EARLIER?

Was the Rev Al going to do the marriage ceremony?

Who knew that NYC had so many f*cking Klansmen in it's midst?

Just as they do with those ghost bikes, perhaps they should put up on-site plaques which tell the story of the thug that got gunned down with their rap sheet attached to their date of birth and date of death as well as the mother's name and if possible the father's name. The last might be a bit hard to verify, but it should be a guesstimate at least. All tastefully done in bronze letters of course.

Hopefully Sean Bell's spawn and all the guy's that were in the car with him that night will move next door to you and when the drug dealers get the wrong apartment number you will be toast.

That must be it! It's the only logical reason why people don't think Sean Bell merits a street and dislike Al Sharpton. Must be a race thing.

Well, you never come to the meetings.

Meanwhile, today, the City Council will actually vote on the matter of naming a street after Sean Bell.

Reposted from the other Sean Bell thread: Sean Bell was a thrice convicted crack dealer who gained the attention of police that night because someone in his group threatened to "go get my gat" after being involved in a confrontation with other people at the strip club (apparently while trying to procure the services of a hooker). He sealed his fate when he used a 2,000 lb. vehicle as a weapon by driving it at a cop. I have no sympathy for this parasite.

BTW, Sean Bell and Nicole Paltre never applied for a marriage license. In NYS, a couple cannot be married less than 24 hours after a license has been issued. They never planned to be married the next day and this whole "wedding day" BS was likely created by his family after his death (probably at the urging of Sharpton) to drum up sympathy from the public.

Some communities really need to reassess the meaning of the word "hero".

"Because no marriage license had yet been signed, a posthumous wedding was impossible, said Mr. Rubenstein." Now this comes from a greasy lawyer admitting that the time that "hero" Bell was terminated that no way could he be out on the day before his wedding.

Maybe the two of them could have had a humorous wedding with their two little chilun as witnesses. Poor suffering victims of slavery.

The guy was a scumball and he just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's unfortunate that the crew he was traveling with weren't eliminated also.

Son of Sam Drive? He would've turned his life around his neighbors dog was going to tell him to stop and try to climb that corporate ladder, but he got caught.

This is too sad to be as funny as it should be.

Rather, this is too sad to be funny. Yet I laugh...

John Liu says: "This has something to do with our community embracing and using as example a young man that was on his way to doing what was right and his community rallied around him."

Since when is going to a strip club "doing what was right?" He should have been at home with his baby momma, taking care of his baby.

Give the dude a break man as Rev Al said,"young man that was on his way to doing what was right..." The Rev went on to say he might have taken a bit more time, but Mr. Bell was cut down in his prime.

Oh shit. I'm starting to talk like them now as witnessed by that last sentence.

Where's reverend Al when I voted for Tawana Brawley Boulevard to replace Fif Avenue?

Fuck Sharpton. He's a piece of trash and only stands for himself, not progress.

Didn't Bing Crosby and Ingrid do a movie about the whole family back a few years ago? It was titled "The Bells of St. Mary's". It told the story of a family deeply devoted to doing what was right.

There already is a street in Bayside, Bell Blvd. That should do it. The Rev can mount a picture of Sean Bell on one its lamp posts and that should do it.

a young man that was on his way to doing what was right

If this guy was a hero then Leroy Antonio "Nicky" Barnes should be moved up to sainthood.

You're right, at least Barnes created jobs.

Just wrote this to John Liu. Try writing him maybe he will wake up.

I read recently that you were in support of renaming the street were sean bell was killed "sean bell way." I was under the impression that streets were named after people who accomplished something, or contributed to the city in some way. For instance, the street I grew up on, 33 road, was renamed Christopher Santora road. After a firefighter who was killed in 9-11. Obviously an honorable cause. He made the ultimate sacrifice for his city and country. I am not sure how you could cheapen this honor by naming a street after someone who was leaving a strip club and when approached by the police got in a car and drove it at them. While it was a tragedy that he was killed by the police in error, this is not a reson to rename a street after someone. This is not an honorable cause and you are making a mistake in thinking that this is approapriate in any way whatsoever. If you choose to follow through with renaming this street why not name any street where someone is killed after them.

It is a slap in the face to the memories of everyone who had the distinction of having a street named after them. I urge you to reconsider your position.

John liu, the liar who made up stories of working in a sweat shop while taking money from Shady business men that employ illegals in Flushing and Chinatown. LMFAO

I'm glad I voted for Liu. he's one of the good guys.

I knew John Liu was a moron, but wow. Now he's talking like Charles Barron.

"a young man that was on his way to doing what was right" Really ? Everything I've read about Sean Bell says otherwise. If this guy is a "hero" in your community, you are fucked.

Sharpton Wants Street Named After Sharpton

eventually, yeah.

Raymond 'Ready' Martinez Avenue coming soon to Sharpton Square. Queens also to be renamed 50-Centville. What a proud culture!

"This has something to do with our community embracing and using as example a young man that was on his way to doing what was right and his community rallied around him. That's what streets are named for."

sets a pretty vague and weak precedent for naming streets if you ask me...

al sharpton is a media whore, plain and simple. john liu is to an extent too, but at least he has something remotely constructive to contribute to race relations for this generation. the only thing that sharpton has to offer is racism fodder for ignorant gothamist commenters.

" john liu is to an extent too, but at least he has something remotely constructive to contribute to race relations for this generation. "

Like what? His connections to Red China?

(and if you think all Chinese aren't racist, I have a bridge to sell you).

Michael Riccardi Way would be as good.

"...using as example a young man that was on his way to doing what was right and his community rallied around him"

Um, because he finally decided to marry his baby momma? What about the fact that he was at a strip club with his convicted felon friends the night before the wedding, and then drunkenly tried to hit a cop with his car?

Holy shit, I must be dreaming! There have GOT to be better role models in Queens than this thug wannabe.

i can think of more than a handful off the top of my head. sharpton makes it look like you have to specifically get gunned down by the NYPD to be recognized as a hero.

he is so desperate.

This is a major reason not to have socialized medicine. When the taxpayers have to fund it, they all deserve to have a say in how their money is spent. You don't want the Christian anti-abortion crowd having a say in the matter, then don't take their tax dollars. How about the government simply provide a medical safety net for people who suffer catastrophic accidents or diseases, so they don't have to lose their homes and life savings; and let the people pay for their regular day-to-day health care and maintenance themselves? That won't happen because the name of the game is government intrusion and expansion. Health care is the pretext.

Sorry wrong thread.

Sounds like it's more than just the thread that's wrong.

Let's have him declared a saint too while we're at it.

Thug Avenue

thanks, cops.
