(AP) CHICAGO — Reverend Jesse Jackson was arrested Saturday at a demonstration outside a south suburban gun shop.
According to Fox News, he was charged with one count of criminal trespass to property.
The 65 year-old leader of the Rainbow Push Coalition was arrested when he refused to move away from the entrance to Chuck's Gun Shop in Riverdale, police said.
Just out of curiousity, how old is the little girl Jesse fathered out of wedlock while still married to his wife? Did she send him a Father's Day card? We know, one story at a time!
Jackson has protested with other community activists outside the shop in recent weeks after a 16-year-old honor student was gunned down on a city bus.
Police said the shooting was gang-related but the teen was not the intended target.
Jackson, who says the gun shop's proximity to Chicago provides gang members and criminals easy access to firearms, has used the protests to call for stricter gun laws.
Two teens have been charged as adults with taking part in the May shooting of Blair Holt, an honor student at Julian High School.
