Yesterday’s N&R article on the indictment of Latin Kings gang leader Jorge Cornell noted that members of the Pulpit Forum appeared in court to show support.
The Rev. Gregory Headen tells the N&R in this morning’s (unposted) article that he saw Cornell not as gang member but a community leader:
“I don’t know what this is all about,” Headen said Wednesday. When we see them, we don’t see them as bad people. We see them as people that we’ve worked with and are doing good things in the community.”
Funny, former Greensboro Police Chief Tim Bellamy doesn’t see it that way:
The indictment wasn’t shocking to Bellamy.
I wasn’t surprised at all because of the fact that they have done these similar disguises in other cities the whole time they were doing these criminal activities,” he said.
….Bellamy said, “I’ve never witnessed any kind of participation with the Greensboro Police Department, and I’ve never witnessed anything positive that they’ve done.”
The indictment reads like an episode of Sons of Anarchy—– a cash business based on illegal activities that no doubt financed the supposed good works that the Pulpit Forum praises.
