With no permit, activists rally at gun shop again

By Emma Graves Fitzsimmons | Tribune staff reporter
October 28, 2007

Protesters were back at a south suburban gun store on Saturday to
rally for gun control while the march's organizers defiantly refused to
pay Riverdale police for a permit.

Organizers said the fee was excessive.

Rev. Michael Pfleger has staged frequent protests at Chuck's Gun Shop
since May with Rev. Jesse Jackson, who could not be there on Saturday.
The men say they are bringing attention to the availability of guns in
suburban communities that are used on Chicago streets.

The march also sought to highlight the recent shooting deaths of six
Chicago Public School students.

"We buried two children this week," Pfleger said. "We're not going to
stop marching on gun shops until there are more strict gun laws."

The march started at Shekinah Chapel, and ended 10 blocks away at the
gun shop in the 14300 block of Indiana Avenue. Organizers estimated that
300 people were involved.

Riverdale police sent Pfleger a letter Oct. 17 asking him to pay the
cost of additional personnel for the protest and a $643 deposit.
Pfleger, pastor of St. Sabina Roman Catholic Church, refused to pay.

"We are not paying money to gather in a peaceful assembly," he said. "If
they don't want us there, they should vote Riverdale gun-free."

Among those who attended the rally were Ald. Howard Brookins (21st) and
Will Burns, a candidate for state representative in the 26th District.

Criminal trespassing charges against Pfleger and Jackson were dropped
this month after they were arrested in a June confrontation with John
Riggio, the store's owner. The Cook County state's attorney's office
said it dropped the charges after reviewing the evidence and determining
it could not prove its case.

Riggio could not be reached for comment Saturday.
It's time to arrest those "clergymen" and revoke the tax exempt status
of their "churches".
Under what pretense?

What? Arresting these parasites?

Or shutting down their playpen?

Either/both.


Trespassing is a crime. Harrassment of passersby is a crime. I've seen
these trash on their picket lines.

One of the provisions that grant a church tax exempt status is that
they refrain from political activity. These two maggots have long
since passed that line.
