Jesse Jackson has died

[FlyersFan]

Robert Duvall was #1.
Jesse Jackson is #2.
Wonder who #3 will be.

Jesse Jackson, started out as a civil rights activist,
has died at 84.   He was the founder of 'Rainbow
Push Coalition'.   He had a neurological condition.

Some saw him as a civil rights leader.  Others saw
him as a race baiter and a shakedown artist.  

His big claim to fame was that he was with 
Martin Luther King when he was assassinated in 
Memphis in 1968.

Story Here

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, a longtime civil rights leader and two-time Democratic presidential candidate, died Tuesday morning at the age of 84, his family said in a statement.

 
"Our father was a servant leader — not only to our family, but to the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked around the world," the Jackson family said in a statement. "We shared him with the world, and in return, the world became part of our extended family. His unwavering belief in justice, equality, and love uplifted millions, and we ask you to honor his memory by continuing the fight for the values he lived by."

Edited to add ...  I was corrected later in the thread -

James Van Der Beek was #1
Robert Duvall was #2
Jesse Jackson #3

The 'dies in threes' curse strikes again and this round is complete.

He was a skilled public speaker. Many people liked him. It would be a different world if he had gotten elected President in the 80s.

I was thinking they might find the body of Nancy Guthrie and that would be #3.
She's not famous for anything except being kidnapped.   
I never heard of her 'celebrity' daughter before all this.
But we've all heard of her now. 
I think she'd count in the "dies in threes' curse.

   Okay .... never heard of him but he apparently is a celebrity.
So we have all three.   The curse is complete for this round.

Yeah, they pushed her story for a week or so here and nobody gives a shit about someone related to someone they dont know, is missing in some place on the other side of the world and we'll give you round the clock coverage.

As far s a media circus goes this is up there.

What I did hear was Will Smith is being raided and yet it still hasnt hit the media. A major story about someone we actually have heard of. 

Media protecting media.
