As a child, watching MLK on TV and seeing all the destruction at each of his speeches, I though he was a rabble rouser. Never could figure out why he got a holiday in this country. I used to think he should have been arrested. I think the only reason he wasn't was because he was black. (And, they say..."white privilege".)
The pattern was clear back then; there would be protests and unrest in various urban areas, which drew MLK and his cabal like flies to stink. He would make speeches while his agitators would do their jobs and then they would leave. The next day riots would break out, which resulted in major looting, significant parts of the city burned out and a lot of deaths. He would do the Pontius Pilate while decrying violence. Just violence, not black violence.
MLK never brought peace anywhere he went. It seems that communist agitators have gotten the message, let someone claim to be "religious" and they get a free ride no matter what the evidence of your senses tell you. I thought he was a fraud and a charlatan from the same mold as "Rev. Al Sharpton" and nothing in this article was a surprise. His patronage of prostitutes was well known and he was widely regarded as a hypocrite. KWANZAA personified.
