On Monday morning, Upper Darby police posted images of the suspects to their popular Twitter and Facebook accounts. On Monday night, the parents of two of the boys brought their children to Upper Darby police headquarters for questioning after seeing their sons’ images all over social media, Chitwood said.
“One set of parents were very cooperative” he said. “The other set brought him in because they knew it was him on the social media page.”
Police issued a crime alert Monday for 4-5 suspects who are on a major crime spree in Denver. Officers are looking for any information that might lead them to the suspects.
Investigators say the males have committed at least 12 street robberies at gunpoint, two store robberies at gunpoint and one carjacking between January 24 and February 10. They committed five robberies in one day on January 29.
Milwaukee media won’t release a description, but others in Milwaukee did.
Chris Guell was shoveling snow to make extra money for his wife and three kids, when a black man punched him in the face. Knocking him out. From WTMJ TV news:
Milwaukee police cannot confirm it’s a case of knock out, but do tell us that like the brutal game, Grell was not robbed. On the other hand, knock out attacks involve more than one suspect, and they get a rise of out inflicting pain. This case outside Cousin’s saw just one suspect.
One of my favorite cat pictures — I’m a cat person — has one cat with his paws around another cat’s neck, with the caption : “Keep walking…this doesn’t concern you”.
I mention this because Colin Flaherty’s “White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore It” (WND Books, 416 pages, $17.95 trade paperback, revised 2013 edition, also in eBook editions, notes, sources, links to YouTubes, index) says this is the attitude about the American phenomenon of black “youths” or “teens” (that’s how they’re often identified, with no racial description) attacking whites and Asians in cities across the country.
Flaherty points out — providing dozens of examples — that editors ignore the fact that the vast majority of the attacks are perpetrated by young blacks — male and female — against whites, gays, Jews and others deemed to be weak who won’t defend themselves.
In many cases, the attacks aren’t even in crime statistics, because police don’t include them — or fail to file reports. Cops in several cities are telling potential victims to arm themselves — and they are, with results that are deemed “vigilantism” by left-leaning journalists, “civil rights” leaders and the other usual suspects.
I first became aware of this phenomenon that has spread like a toxic rash across the nation when I read of an attack in Milwaukee that gave Flaherty the title of his book. A group of white picnickers were attacked by a group of blacks in Brew City, with one teen-age black girl commenting “White girl bleed a lot.”
Flaherty includes this incident in his book, along with the 2011 race riot at the Wisconsin State Fair in West Allis, a suburb of Milwaukee, the incident that prompted my columns. I was a reporter/editor at The Milwaukee Sentinel from 1967 to 1976, so this was a natural for me to blog about. I had always known about the underreported violence in Milwaukee, which is becoming a majority black city similar to its much larger neighbor to the south, Chicago.
Two members of the National Association of Black Journalists know who is responsible: “Teenagers.”
Preview of a story at WND.
Down the freeway in Washington, D.C., local police released a video of a flash mob robbery at an upscale Georgetown clothing store. Over the NBC affiliate, National Association of Black Journalists Hall of Fame member Jim Vance opened the report by describing the robbers as a group of “teenagers.”
Fellow NABJ member Shomari Stone reported from the field, providing a similar description of the video robbery.
The recently released video from February 20th shows a dozen “teenagers” rushing into the True Religion Brand jeans store, gathering thousands of dollars worth of clothing, and rushing out. It does not appear that any of the clerks tried to stop them in any way.
Neither of the reporters mentioned all of the dozen marauders were black. And neither mentioned that during similar flash robberies in Washington and dozens of other towns, all of the suspects on video are black.
Shomari Stone made a national splash in 2011 in downtown Seattle when he and his camera crew came upon an assault in progress. Stone threw his body over the victim to protect him from the beating.
Media Bistro provided the twist: Stone saved a white supremacist: “When the victim, whose arms were covered in swastika tattoos, approached Stone to thank him after the incident, Stone, who is African-American, told the man, “Remember to judge the man by his character and not the color of his skin.”
These are just some of the hundreds of examples of racial violence and lawlessness in more than 80 cities around the country as documented in my book: White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence to America.
Thomas Sowell said : ”Reading Colin Flaherty’s book made painfully clear to me that the magnitude of this problem is greater than I had discovered from my own research. He documents both the race riots and the media and political evasions in dozens of cities.” – National Review.
That is what the anchor said when she introduced the video below.
Even tougher is watching hundreds and hundreds of examples of black on white violence and having reporters call them random. Or say they just cannot figure out why the black person attacked the white person.
In Brooklyn, Vinegar Hill, a woman was a victim of the Knockout Attack at the hands of four black people on Sunday.
I almost got killed in 2010 by one of these “gangs” in Clinton Hill when they tried to knock me off my bike and threw a glass bottle at my head as I rode away.
Thankfully they are little pre-teen snots, so they couldn’t really do much to me besides throw that bottle. When I used to live on Franklin Ave between Dekalb and Willoughby they would harass people weekly in front of my place. I once had to call 911 because they tackled and beat a kid and broke his arm right in front of me at 3pm on a weekday! That being said, these children need some serious discipline, not jail time.
These are just some of the hundreds of examples of racial violence and lawlessness in more than 80 cities around the country as documented in my book: White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence to America.

There they go again: Large scale violence, gun fire, property destruction. A preview of a story at WND.com. With links below.
Terry Pulliam was flummoxed. This Jacksonville reporter and card-carrying member of the National Association of Black Journalists was on the scene of a riot: 750 black people were fighting, destroying property, stealing, assaulting, rampaging, jumping on cars, laughing, taunting, creating chaos and attacking police at a Jacksonville movie theater and mall.
All on Christmas Day. On video.
The large scale mayhem began when hundreds of “teenagers” tried to rush — without paying — into local showings of Tyler Perry’s A Medea Christmas and Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom. When security put an end to that, the mob took their mayhem outside. After lots of pepper spraying, police brought the crowd under control in 90 minutes and arrested five.
If Pulliam thought it was significant that everyone involved in the mayhem was black, he did not say say. Instead, he said he just could not figure out what these “teenagers” were up to. Neither could the anchor of the Channel 4 news: It looked as if there were “dozens of people” there,” she said, missing the real number by 700 or so.
“I am baffled,” Pulliam said. “I have never seen anything like this before.”
Had Pulliam read WND or used Google, he would have found out right away how easy it is to find stories about recent large scale black mob violence at malls and movie theaters all around the country. Including places like Rochester, Kansas City, Norfolk, Austin, Des Moines, Chicago, Brooklyn, San Antonio, Schenectady, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Bradenton, Atlanta and yes, Jacksonville.
And that does not count the large scale black mob violence in the streets, stores, roller rinks, bowling alleys, boardwalks, college campuses, restaurants, buses, trains, schools, beaches, weddings, graduations, funerals, stores, stadiums, arenas, downtowns, uptowns, suburbs, lingerie shops, mobile beer bicycles, Fourth of July parties, Memorial Day ceremonies, frat houses, and nightclubs in hundreds of cities big and small around the country.
Last Saturday night, it happened again: Large scale black mob violence at a Jacksonville mall. More than 100 black people were waiting to see a movie in a suburb of Jacksonville when fighting and chaos began. After security disbursed the crowd, 40-50 of them went to a nearby Chick-Fil-A restaurant, where they broke a glass door, overturned furniture and even fired a gun.
A 14-year old boy was arrested.
Once again, Channel 4 did not report the crowd was black. Or that the violence was part of a pattern. But viewers had no problem figuring out on their own that their town was, once again, under siege from unacknowledged racial violence. One viewer made a list:
“Let’s see, July 17 2012 -Northside Walmart,” he said, beginning his list of recent black mob violence in Jacksonville. “Memorial Day 2013 – Jacksonville Beach. Christmas Day 2013 – Northside Towne Center. Now Orange Park Mall. Mobs all, thuggish behavior with no accurate reporting of participants. Media bias OR fear of admitting reality?”
At least two Jacksonville reporters had no trouble putting the violence in context: “Black mob violence is no different in Jacksonville than most other places in America: but that is the point — it happens a lot, the local media refuses to report it, and lots of people try to wish it away,” said Chuck White, who hosts a local talk radio show with his wife Colleen at AM 1600 the Beach. “This is the third time, in recent memory, that black youths have staged short term uprisings and there is barely a word from the local press.”
Three? At least. In 2010, 27 black people were taken to the emergency room after large scale violence at a local high school had to be quelled with copious amounts of tear gas. And this was not the first problem inside Palatka High school that week, said Channel 4.
And of course in the looting seen and heard around the world, 300 black people stormed a Jacksonville Wal-Mart in 2012 — stealing, threatening, destroying property. All on video.
If all Pulliam knew about black mob violence is what he learned at local and national meetings of the National Association of Black Journalists, then it is easy to understand why he so confused: NABJ does not focus on black mob violence or black on white crime.
Instead, the group and its members concentrate on how black people are victims of relentless white racism. And how black people are under the constant threat of white violence against people such as Trayvon Martin. At the last NABJ convention, Trayvon’s parents were featured speakers in front of a standing room only crowd, where they were received as celebrities, if heroes.
The title of NABJ luminary Brittney Cooper’s recent article for Salon says it all: “Open season on black teenagers: The onslaught of white murder.”
O.K.
But black on white crime? Black mob violence? The Knockout Game? All of which exist exponentially out of proportion? Not so much: Many NABJ members say it is a hoax. Others grudgingly admit what thousands of videos show, but say it is justified. Much like the Philadelphia family court judge who recently wrote in his Field Negro blog: Black violence is easy to understand. White people deserve it.
Or, like in Jacksonville, where they did something to cause it.
A few days after the Christmas riot, another NABJ bigwig Tonyaa Weathersbee — writing in the Florida Times -Union — was happy the judge allowed several of the violent offenders to take an anger management course or enlist in the army in lieu of jail time:
“I didn’t want to see another African-American male thrust into a system that may or may not take into account all of the events that precipitated this,” the Rev. John Guns, told Weathersbee. “My fear was that they needed to be given a voice, because the system may not hear them.”
Weathersbee never really got around to telling us what “precipitated” the violence and the attack on the white female police officer. Or what the rioters wanted to say that, not being heard, sparked the violence.
But other reporters at the Times-Union were not quite as squeamish in their account of what happened that Christmas Day: “One of the young suspects refused orders to leave and began to incite the crowd yelling, “— — you, crackers, I ain’t going nowhere,” according to her arrest report. Most of the crowd was black, while several officers were white.”
For at least one resident, this latest example of black mob violence was the final straw: “It has gotten pretty bad here in the Jacksonville area,” said one resident. “Over the last few years it has gotten to where don’t really want to go anywhere where there will be a large crowd of people at night anymore. The beach incident over last Memorial Day and the riot on Christmas night have just about sealed my decision to leave this area once my kids are finished with school.”
These are just some of the hundreds of examples of racial violence and lawlessness in more than 80 cities around the country as documented in my book: White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence to America.

Letter from a Chicago cop. Color of car but not perps?
Just got this letter from a Chicago cop about a posting from a local police blog:
Anything missing here?
A trio of thieves snatched several high-end handbags this afternoon before fleeing in an SUV that was waiting outside Bloomingdale’s on Michigan Avenue.
About 3:30 p.m., a man and two women entered the store located on the 900 block of North Michigan Avenue and grabbed several handbags, said Police News Affairs […].
The trio ran out of the store and fled in a white SUV, he said.
The group was described as between the ages of 18 to 25.
As of 5:45 p.m., no one was in custody for the thefts and police were investigating.
*Kinda racist that they identify the white SUV, but omit the race of the offenders.
Cops all over the country are waiting for the day people to start to figure out the level of racial violence and lawlessness that is excused, denied and goes unreported.
Never in the history of hornswoggling has anyone been hornswoggled quite as badly as Bill O’Reilly last week.
The occasion was a White House event called “My Brother’s Keeper.” The president talked about rescuing young black men from the “disparities” they experience every day in schools, courts, income, families, housing, jails, drugs, jobs, crime and … well, you get the picture.
O’Reilly was there, and the president was happy: “If I can persuade Sharpton and O’Reilly to be in the same meeting,” that was a good sign, he said.
The president also sprinkled words like “personal responsibility” into his remarks.
When this crowd talks personal responsibility, what they really want is for people like Bill O’Reilly to take personal responsibility for everything he has done to create and perpetuate the white privilege that causes so much relentless white racism … that causes all the disparities.
The key to this crowd is watching what they do, not how they justify it.
This is the same president who said because he believed in free enterprise, he had to seize control of General Motors. The same president who said you could choose your doctor, as long as it was the doctor he chose for you. The same president who says unemployment is just another recreational opportunity.
But they are at their most duplicitous when they talk about race and “groups that have had the odds stacked against them in unique ways that require unique solutions, groups who’ve seen fewer opportunities that have spanned generations.”
Cue the violins of racial victimization. That is what this program – and this president – is all about. This president is presiding over the most race conscious administration in history. He’s proud of that. That is why his Department of Justice is full of functionaries whose entire career is one long exercise in Critical Race Theory: i.e., white racism is everywhere. White racism is permanent.
That is why enforcers from Department of Education are traveling the country, rooting out “racism” in schools.
That’s why he sent a team of community organizers to Sanford, Fla., to pressure local elected officials to indict George Zimmerman for murder in the killing of Travyon Martin.
That is why the president nominated Debo Adegbile to head the civil-rights division at the Justice Department. Adegbile’s major claim to fame is pleading for the innocence due to racism of convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal. The president chose him not in spite of his work, but because of it.
This is what Obama was talking about in 1992 when he introduced his friend and mentor professor Derrick Bell at a meeting of black law students at Harvard. Bell invented Critical Race Theory.
The most visible symbols of Critical Race Theory and white racism were also in attendance at this meeting, starting with the parents of Trayvon Martin. They have made a career out of appearing before national groups like the NAACP and the National Association of Black Journalists to talk about how racism polluted their son’s upbringing; how racism caused Zimmerman to stalk and shoot him; how racism caused the jury to acquit him. And how racism causes people to write columns like this, reminding others that Trayvon was a thug with a history of violence, lawlessness and drug abuse – and tolerance because school officials do not like “criminalizing” young black men.
That is pure Critical Race Theory.
Even a cursory reading of the larger black websites – Grio, The Root, Huffington Post Black Voices, Ebony, Jet and hundreds more – shows how deep and wide these beliefs are. Or on TV every day, where Toure of MSNBC is their perfect spokesman: “The accumulated impact of historic discrimination and the advantages of white privilege and the systems perpetuating” it are responsible for widespread black dysfunction, said Toure. “Not personal responsibility.”
The day after the president was crowing about O’Reilly’s support for My Brother’s Keeper, the drumbeat of racism continued: A Chicago labor union said public transit was racist because blacks spend more time commuting.
That same day, Prince said blacks in entertainment are victims of relentless discrimination. That same day, Steven Colbert made relentless racism the topic of one his regular bits on the subject. Recently Salon and Atlantic magazines ran pieces about how whites are “slaughtering” black people. And how black people should start to fight back.
They were not talking metaphorically. Or apologetically. Or secretly.
Bill O’Reilly is usually pretty good at keeping this out of his No Spin Zone. But not this time.
As President Barack Obama talked from the East Room of the White House last week about violence and young African-American men and boys, Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. was among a group of mayors meeting in New Orleans who say they are ready to back a new approach to the problem.
Wharton is among the big city mayors who formed “Cities United” to explore common issues and concerns. And the meeting in New Orleans was the inaugural session of the coalition.
“We know where the challenge is – it’s with young men of color,” Wharton said on the WKNO-TV program “Behind The Headlines” the day after the gathering and the White House speech. “We’ve got to just fess up to that – face up to that. … Young male blacks in the city of Memphis are in grave jeopardy – in the United States as a whole.”
Obama’s approach to the problem is My Brother’s Keeper, a private program with federal coordination and local support.
WHARTON
“The stubborn fact is that the life chances of the average black or brown child in this country lags behind by almost every measure, and is worse for boys and young men,” he said.
My Brother’s Keeper would work across several fronts, including mentorship programs and juvenile and criminal justice system changes aimed at a basic “disconnectedness” the president said is at the root of a cycle of problems and lowered expectations.
“We just assume this is an inevitable part of American life, instead of the outrage that it is,” Obama said. “That’s how we think about it. It’s like a cultural backdrop for us – in movies and television. We just assume, of course, it’s going to be like that. But these statistics should break our hearts. And they should compel us to act.”
Wharton termed the problem “black boy crime” and he said it is the specific issue that some social services agencies and advocacy groups want to avoid.
