Jesse Jackson’s SUV Stolen While Promoting ‘Green’ Jobs in Detroit

He should have rented the Prius:

(Sept. 3) — When the Rev. Jesse Jackson led a rally for “green jobs” in Detroit, he arrived in the Motor City in a massive Cadillac SUV. But his exit from the Motor City was a lot more environmentally friendly — thanks to some car thieves.

The robbers stole the civil rights activist’s rented 2009 Escalade SUV on Monday. He was in Detroit for Saturday’s Jobs, Justice and Peace Rally in downtown Detroit.

“We were traveling for Jobs, Justice and Peace and we came [outside the hotel] next morning and it was gone,” Jackson told AOL News today in a phone interview. “It was obvious that it was stolen.”

Police found the car later that day, stripped of its wheels but otherwise intact, WXYZ reported.


Green cars for thee but not for me.
