NAACP protests Trump's U.S. Attorney General pick with sit-in

Jan 3 (Reuters) - The NAACP staged a sit-in on Tuesday to protest the nomination of conservative U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions as the nation's next Attorney General, vowing to occupy his Mobile, Alabama, office until he withdrew as a candidate or demonstrators were arrested.

Sessions, 70, has a record of controversial positions on race, immigration and criminal justice reform. Along with the sit-in, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) organized demonstrations at his offices statewide to draw attention to their concerns about his track record.

"Senator Sessions has callously ignored the reality of voter suppression but zealously prosecuted innocent civil rights leaders on trumped-up charges of voter fraud," NAACP President and CEO Cornell William Brooks said in a news release. "As an opponent of the vote, he can't be trusted to be the chief law enforcement officer for voting rights."

Brooks posted a photo on Twitter of protesters in suits occupying the senator's Mobile office.

Fifty percent of the violent crimes, actually murders, violent crimes, the percentage is probably higher, a lot higher, all these terrible, horrible, killings and beatings, by a group of men less than six percent  of the population; now, their 'brothers' are protesting Sessions!?  Hey boys, get your own house in order, raise your children and earn a living, stop the violence, or else.  What these men need is law and order, no more coddling them, because, four or five hundred years ago African people, Irish people, and, other 'unfortunates' were made to be slaves, to the rich and powerful people, in the world?  Gosh, I was born in a cab, because I didn't have a doctor and nurse there to help my mother and myself be born, can I get away with robbery, rape and murder?  Every body else had a nice hospital delivery, didn't they, why do I have to suffer after being born in such a manner, if I steal or kill?  I am special, but then aren't we all special, some of us were made to go to bed hungry, some of us were made to wash dishes and clean house, some of us were made to watch over our brothers and sisters while our mom and dad got drunk and beat each other up.  We all have had it tough, for some reason, time to quit finding excuses and start finding solutions and the solution is: do the crime, do the time, no special something or the other, about it..
