Reformed Churchmen

We are Confessional Calvinists and a Prayer Book Church-people. In 2012, we remembered the 350th anniversary of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer; also, we remembered the 450th anniversary of John Jewel's sober, scholarly, and Reformed "An Apology of the Church of England." In 2013, we remembered the publication of the "Heidelberg Catechism" and the influence of Reformed theologians in England, including Heinrich Bullinger's Decades. For 2014: Tyndale's NT translation. For 2015, John Roger, Rowland Taylor and Bishop John Hooper's martyrdom, burned at the stakes. Books of the month.

Where's Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Black Panthers, Spike Lee, MSNBC, Eric Holder & Obama?

Rev. "Big Al" Sharpton, the nation's
race hustler and Pentecostalist (as usual
without an education)
Remember the Trayon Martin case?  The incessant media obsession including MSNBC, CNN, and even the news-chasers at FOX?  Also, where's Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Black Panthers, Spike Lee, MSNBC, Eric Holder & Obama?  They all piled onto that story, especially the loud and ignorant Rev. "Big Al" Sharpton?  We'll watch for the non-coverage this week.

Let him start squeaking and wailing
over this story. Fat chance. 

White Man Who Was Doused With Gas & Set On Fire By 2 Hoodied Black Males Dies At Burn Center

On July 28, 2012, in news, by velvethammer

(The Tribune Democrat) –EBENSBURG — West Hills Regional Police continued to search late Friday for two men who robbed a Lower Yoder Township man Thursday night [July 19, 2012], tied him up and set him on fire.
Police are not releasing the name of the victim, who is believed to be in his 40s.

He was taken to the West Penn Burn Center in Pittsburgh with severe burns, West Hills police Chief Andy Havas said.
The man told police that he was working in his garage in the 100 block of Norton Road when two black men with hoods over their heads entered the garage at about 11 p.m. He said one of the suspects hit him in the back of the head with a handgun.

When the man fell to the floor, they tied him up with an electrical cord and took an undisclosed amount of money.
They then doused him with gasoline and set him afire, Havas said.

The man said he freed himself from the electrical cord, retrieved a garden hose and doused himself with water.
……
 
Police are unable to recall a similar crime.
“I can’t recall anything this horrific,” Havas said. [...]
Last night (July, 27, 2012) burn victim 38 year old Vincent Bloom died at the West Penn Burn Center in Pittsburgh, where he was being treated for his injuries.
PITTSBURGH (AP) – Authorities in western Pennsylvania say a man who was robbed and then set on fire in his [auto repair] garage a week ago has died at a Pittsburgh burn center.
The Allegheny County medical examiner’s office says 38-year-old Vincent Bloom was pronounced dead at 7:13 p.m. Friday at West Penn Burn Center. An autopsy is planned in Cambria County. [...]
The AP article above ‘whites out‘ the race of the murderers. Translation: The victim was white.

Unfortunately, due to the critical nature of the victim’s condition, police were unable to conduct a thorough interview.
“We haven’t been able to interview him due to his current condition,” police Sgt. George Musulin III said. “It was a horrific act.”

Officers removed evidence from the scene and took it to the state police crime lab in Greensburg. Musulin would not say what evidence was taken.

Police spoke briefly with Bloom before he was taken to the hospital.
……
The robbers fled in an unknown direction.

“There are so many sketchy details,” Musulin said.
Making the task of apprehending the murderous thugs all the more difficult. If you have any information please contact local authorities immediately. The monsters need to be taken off of the streets ASAP, before they can strike again.
Cambria County Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $2,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the robbers.

Anyone with information on the crime can call the Cambria County non-emergency number at (800) 281-1680 or West Hills police at 255-4145. [...]

Former NAACP Leader Accuses Sharpton of Race-baiting and Exploiting Trayvon Martin

Reformed Anglicanism has watched this story.  Something is amiss at the investigative level in the chain of command, as well as, perhaps, the DA's office in Sanford, FL, where this story is developfing.  The FL State Attorney General is looking at it as well as the FBI.  A Grand Jury will, in time, hear the preliminary set of facts.  However, the "Big Al", or the the "Big Rev. Al" Sharpton, has jumped far too quickly and has spoken very, very brashly.  Sharpton has no theological training and it shows--over and over and over.  Sharpton has no legal or law enforcement training--and that shows too.  Rather than deliberation, thoughtfulness, coolness, calmness, and consideration--things that come with education--we've witnessed exaggerated claims, conclusions and imputations.  Actually, Sharpton hurts rather than helps the cause.  Fairness, balance, justice and thoroughness is what anyone desires.   Black, white, tan, green or purple people want fairness.   The question in our mind, presently, murder 2 perhaps?  Or, manslaughter?  Time will tell and it should tell.  In this story, however, a former NAACP leader accuses Sharpton and Jackson, a Johnny-come-lately-as-the-story-developed, as race-baiting, race-hustling, and product-promotion.  This much, Sharpton is quite a rabble-rouser and manipulator of emotional people...quite unwise and quite unpastoral. 
 
 
Former NAACP Leader Accuses Sharpton and Jackson of "Exploiting" Trayvon Martin
 
C.L. Bryant

Former NAACP leader C.L. Bryant is accusing Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton of “exploiting” the Trayvon Martin tragedy to “racially divide this country.”

“His family should be outraged at the fact that they’re using this child as the bait to inflame racial passions,” Rev. C.L. Bryant said in a Monday interview with The Daily Caller.

The conservative black pastor who was once the chapter president of the Garland, Texas NAACP called Jackson and Sharpton “race hustlers” and said they are “acting as though they are buzzards circling the carcass of this young boy.”

Jackson, for example, recently said Martin’s death shows how “blacks are under attack” and “targeting, arresting, convicting blacks and ultimately killing us is big business.” (SEE ALSO: Jesse Jackson says Trayvon Martin ‘murdered and martyred’)

George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch captain, killed Martin, a 17-year-old black man who was unarmed at the time of his death, last month. Zimmerman has claimed to have shot Martin in self-defense and has not been charged with a crime.

But Bryant, who explores the topic of black-on-black crime in his new film “Runaway Slave,” said people like Jackson and Sharpton are being misleading to suggest there is an epidemic of “white men killing black young men.”

“The epidemic is truly black on black crime,” Bryant said.

“The greatest danger to the lives of young black men are young black men.”
