Ms. padilla, read this:

The fraudulent black mob violence deniers

Hello Mr. Flaherty, (Colin)

 

This is Katrina Padilla again. I just want you to know that upon reading my Word (the Bible), and having my usual intimate time with my Lord, you were pressed upon my heart, and I must tell you that my heart breaks for you and so many others like you.

 

Through circumstances beyond your control, you have been hurt badly and have yet to find proper consolation. Please believe me when I say how deeply sorry I am. I have been hurt numerous times by different races, and thankfully have been able to find peace and closure and have healed (though I must admit I have not forgotten), and been able to forgive those who have wronged me. This I could not have done Colin without the tenderness of a loving Creator who taught me how to gain all these things by first granting them to me for hurting Him through the multitude of sins I committed.

 

Colin, dear friend, this is my prayer for you. I have stopped reading your column because it breaks my heart to read the anger and bitterness your articles vent.

 

You’re a gifted journalist Colin. I truly believe that. But you must let go of this vigil of yours and reach out for Christ. I’m not saying you don’t believe, I don’t know you that well. But what I do know is that you truly are a sincere man who desperately wants better. You’re seeking escape in all your endeavors. When I phoned you (and please forgive such forwardness) you were off hiking in a mountain of mud promising to phone back, but didn’t because you knew in your heart where the call was leading — straight to Jesus!!

 

No grand adventure, no constant reporting, no overflowing amount of poisonous venom is going to heal you like Jesus! Reach out and cry to Him now Colin. We’re not promised tomorrow, and I’m afraid that if your end were today, your bitter soul would end up in the fires of hell. I don’t wish that.for you. I know someone who lived similar to you. He just met his end last week. He was found murdered in his car far from home and alone. His life, just like yours, was completely contrary to the Word of God, and in a moment, he found himself without a second chance and in hell awaiting his final judgment at the resurrection of all mankind.

 

I don’t want to see that happen to anyone else! And neither does God. He Word says He is longsuffering because He doesn’t wish for anyone to perish. He loves you very much Colin. And he wants to heal your wounds, but you’ve got to allow Him to. Let me encourage you to read your Bible. Start in the New Testament Book of John. Come to know Jesus and His love for you. Learn what forgiveness and life is all about. If you need or want further explanation of the Word, or just want to get prayer or talk, I’m always available. It’s all about doing God’s work as I am called.

 

God bless you and keep you Colin. I hope you find true peace and forgiveness before it’s too late.

 

Your friend, and His eternal maidservant,

Katrina Padilla

Now consider the case of Prabhjot Singh, a Sikh doctor in Harlem.

 

He was supposed to be one of the good guys: A doctor in Harlem. Professor at Columbia. An anti-racist and national leader in speaking out against White Supremacism. Frequent guest on the Huffington Post, New York Times and other liberal outlets. Active in UN public health initiatives for poor people.

He even lives in Harlem.

So when Dr. Prabhjot Singh decided he would stroll through his neighborhood last Saturday night, he figured he was safe.

Then four blocks from Malcolm X Boulevard, Dr. Singh met up with 20 black people on bikes. According to the NBC affiliate in New York:

“I heard ‘Get Osama’ and then ‘terrorists,’ and then the next thing I felt was someone moving past me, ripping at my beard and then hitting me in the chin.”

He ran. They chased him and knocked him down and beat him some more.

Singh said he thought he could have died if passersby hadn’t intervened to help fight off the more than dozen young men who jumped him.

They broke his jaw. Kicked out a few of his teeth. And all that.

Dr. Singh is a Sikh, a member of the faith that wears distinctive turbans and beards. But this mob thought he was a Moslem and taunted him for that. Not knowing that Moslems and Sikhs are long and bitter rivals.

After the attack, he wondered why anyone would bother him: He is after all, an American and a member of the Harlem community. Or so he thought. He told MSNBC:

Singh’s priority now is to continue his work as a doctor in his East Harlem community, he said. “This is not the Harlem I know,” he said. “If anything, [this experience] makes me more committed to our community and the work we do there.”

Last year, he wrote an op-ed for the New York Times saying the biggest danger of hate crimes to Sikhs was from White Supremacists. He cited that six times in one article:

“There is also the question of whether white supremacist groups have specifically targeted American Sikhs,” Singh said.

His commentary was in response to the killing of six Sikhs in Wisconsin by a neo-Nazi.

But in Harlem that Saturday night, there was nary a white face to be found: Police released surveillance video that showed the attackers were black.

Alleged attackers, sorry.

But the same man who relentlessly condemned white racism for violence against Sikhs all of a sudden became circumspect about the race of his attackers. And eager to put it in context.

Dr. Lamont Hill from the Huffington Post asked him to describe the assailants:

They were young men. Probably from the neighborhood. Certainly not reflective of the neighborhood I’ve come to know and work in.

It was dark. They seemed like they were young African American men. But again, it was dark.

Its one thing to be told in the news or in a book that a community is not as dangerous as you thought they were. But its completely another thing to know someobody personally.

Understanding really comes from deeper engagement.

While Dr. Singh seeks deeeper understanding of his assailants, so do police.  But the assailants, so far, have not turned themselves in.

WhiteGirl_300x250_01Some people call it the Knockout Game. The CBS affiliate in New York has different name for it: Teenage “prank.”

Whatever the term, Ralph Santiago is dead — one of three men who recently died or suffered permanent brain damage from what police call unprovoked assaults. But what others say are part of a nationwide pattern racial violence.

The rules of the Knockout Game — or the teenage prank — are same: Start with a group of black people. Find a white person. Punch him in the face. Don’t stop until the person is knocked out or your arms get tired. Or the person is dead.

Local media refuses to identify how widespread these attacks are. And how the perpetrators are mobs of black people. But the phenomenon is documented in White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence and how the media ignore it.

Here’s a link to the CBS news story. Sometimes it will not embed: Prosecutor: 3 Teens Charged In Beating Death Of Homeless Man In N.J. « CBS New York

 

The teenage prank on Santiago took place September 10, but the real damage was done in an identical attack 27 years ago. A group of black people stalked and beat Santiago near his Bronx home, leaving this father, gymnast and artist with brain damage; unable to do anything but wander the streets in a permanent fog.

Even so, the 46-year old Santiago was a happy man. A religious man. But when he was on the streets, a vulnerable man.

That is what three black people from Jersey City who arrived in Hoboken via the Light Rail discovered that afternoon. The CBS affiliate provides a few details:

“Santiago was followed by the three teens while walking on 3rd Street between Adams and Jefferson Streets in Hoboken on Sept. 10 when one of the juveniles threw a punch at Santiago’s head in what detectives believe was a game of “knockout.”

Santiago then collapsed onto the fence, wedging his neck between two iron fence posts, where he died, the prosecutor said.”

The alleged perpetrators turned themselves in when a video of them surfaced after the attack. They are in custody and charged with murder.

Ten days before that, Jesse Downs was heading to a convenience store near his home in the suburbs of Boston when he came upon a group of black people in the middle of the afternoon. Downs had left work early to get a head start on the Labor Day weekend. His girlfriend, Melissa Merrill, told the Eagle Tribune she just happened to be driving by when she saw Downs sitting on the curb, covered in blood.

“He kept asking me, ‘Why did they jump me?’” Merrill said of how Downs reacted immediately after the attack. “He still had his money and paycheck on him. They didn’t touch it.

“They attacked him right in broad daylight, in the middle of the sidewalk,” Merrill said. “They jumped him from behind and beat him in his head for no reason.”

WHDH reports the the suspects were “hitting (the victim) in the face and head.” And that one of the suspects “…slammed him on his head on the pavement.”

After three brain surgeries, Downs is still in the hospital, unresponsive. His survival is still in question. Two men have been charged with assault and witness intimidation.

Last weekend, in Syracuse, Jim Gifford was beginning his Saturday the way he started every day: He walked to the local 7-11 for a newspaper, donuts, coffee and a can of soup. At 6:08 a.m., the 70-year old Gifford was confronted by “five or six men” in their 20’s.

“Award winning columnist Sean Kirst” of the local paper reports: “Two of them began striking and kicking Gifford. The beating continued after he fell to the ground.”

Kirst quotes the local police as saying it “is too early to describe it as an example of the “knockout game,” a chilling national trend involving anonymous attacks.”

Earlier this week, police arrested Romeo Williams and charged him with assault. Williams had a pending felony weapons charge outstanding. According to Syracuse.com:

At a press conference before Williams’ arraignment, Syracuse Police Chief Frank Fowler said Williams celebrated inside the convenience store after he knocked Gifford unconscious. He continued beating the unconscious man after the brief celebration, according to police.

The papers presents lots of details save two: The assailants were black. No news about what, if any, charges the others at the attack will face.

Kirst did remind his readers that a similar attack took place in Syracuse last spring. Curiously, he reported that two people were arrested, though as many as a dozen black people were present at that attack where a 51-year old man died.

Racism Everywhere. Yes, you too.

FROM AMERICAN THINKER.

BY COLIN FLAHERTY

WhiteGirl_300x250_01

The white liberals at Salon and MSNBC may still be virulent denial about the black mob violence. But many black people are way past that: They don’t deny it, they excuse it. And the biggest and most popular excuse today is racism.

In Chicago earlier this month, a group of black people in a gun fight shot 13 black people on a basketball court. Black violence in Chicago takes other forms as well: Some of it black on white. Some black on Asian. Or black on gay. Or black on young. Or black on old. Black on rich. Black on poor. Black on illegal immigrant. Black on tourist. Black on doctor. Black on lawyer. Black on Indian Chief? I don’t know about that one.

But Black on woman is also popular. So is black on storekeeper. Some violence is individual. Some in a mob.

The reasons for this tsunami of violence are legion — and oft repeated: Family. Poverty. Housing. Education. Do I need to go on?

Ebony Magazine says No.

Its easy to forget how influential Ebony is. “Ebony and Jet have been permanent fixtures on coffee tables in African-American homes for many years,” said Magic Johnson.

Now Joshua Adams, writing in Ebony, wants to flip the script: Even if black people are being convicted of crimes like assault and murder and burglary and selling drugs anywhere from 10 to 20 to 30 to even 40 times more than the rest of the population, Ebony doesn’t want to hear any more talk about black pathology.

It’s much easier to point to Black crime than to interrogate a whole litany of violence against the Black community.

What’s missing in their analysis is any mention of the history of institutionalized attacks on Black people …

There’s no call for accountability towards a prison industrial complex sending Black and Brown folks to jail with longer sentences for equal or lesser crimes than any other race.

No statistics are presented to show the overreporting of Chicago crime or to combat the many misconceptions about Black on Black crime in general in America.

And what’s sadder is if their analysis is that shallow, how could they even begin to discuss, let alone understand, the residuals effects from the sadistic, prolonged assault on our people that was chattel slavery?

Prisons cause crime. So does slavery. To quote the t-shirt: Its a black thing. You wouldn’t understand.

And since most people don’t, Adams has a prescription: “If you aren’t interested in doing anything but pointing in our direction to underscore some sort of racist, classist, blame-skewing point, then keep our city out your mouth.”

I understand now.

The Attorney General likes to flip the script as well. Just a few weeks ago, he gave a speech where he talked about racism. And how black people and white people who commit the same crimes are given different sentences.

The AG forgot to mention about how the biggest racial disparities in court rooms rebound to the benefit of black people. At least the ones who are accused of a crime.

In Baltimore, the Abell Foundation found that black juries were reluctant to convict black people of crimes, compared to other counties in Maryland.

The study found “the probability of convicting an offender of the most serious offense in Baltimore City is .02, in the comparison jurisdictions it is .63.”

In layman’s language, that is 2 percent conviction rate versus 63 percent conviction rate. And it is not just Baltimore. In New York, the racial jury nullification is so common it even has a name: Bronx jury.

At MSNBC, the contributors love to talk about how black people and white people smoke the same amount of marijuana, but black people are arrested four times more often. That is based on a bogus study that does not test people for drugs, it asks if they use drugs or not.

And yes, there are studies on that too. At least two of them. It’s called self-reporting. When you ask about drug usage and then you test to see who is telling the truth, Black people are far more likely to lie about it.

According to the medical journal Addictive Behaviors,

“underreporting of cocaine was documented with urine testing validation as well where African Americans in comparison to Caucasians who were urine positive were about 6 times less likely to report cocaine use when other factors are controlled for.”

Down at Johns Hopkins, they tested self-reporting of marijuana use among African Americans:

“A study of 290 African American men in Baltimore, Maryland undergoing treatment for hypertension showed that self-reporting of illicit drug use is unreliable. Only 48 of the participants reported drug use but urine drug tests revealed that 131 had used drugs. “

We are unable to confirm or deny the Attorney General was one of the subjects in these drug studies. But his recent speeches are just about the closest proof of a positive drug result you can get without testing.

The racist drum beat continues: The University Rochester University recently completed a study that showed more white racists live in the South. Their definition of racist: Someone who believes jobs, contracts, school enrollments and other opportunities should based on merit. Not racial quotas.

The University of Michigan recently did a similar study: Whites are racist. But smarter whites are better at disguising it. “But they are no more likely than lower-ability whites to support open housing laws and are less likely to support school busing and affirmative action programs.”

Even hip hop star Chris Brown is getting in on the act. Brown is best known outside the world of hip hop for his frequent forays into the headlines for beating up his girl friend, hit and run driving, faking his community service, assault on other rappers, and … well, its a long list.

But Chris would like to explain it all to us: Its not his fault. Its all about racism.

The District Attorney? He’s a “racist ass.”

“I got to the point where it’s only so much you can take from the master, you feel me? I’ve taken my fair share of lashings,” he told Jet Magazine. “This generation is so used to racism that it’s normal; we don’t care. We aren’t on drugs or catching AIDS, but they still look at us as n****s.”

Brown compares himself to Trayvon: Both victims of “blatant racism.”

In the meantime, I have one question for the put-upon Mr. Brown: Have you thought about moving to Baltimore?

Black mob violence and black on white crime has not destroyed the entire American Tobacco Trail. Only the small chunk that goes through Durham, North Carolina.

The high crime part. The gang-infested part. The poor part. The urban part. The part that local media calls every name imaginable except one: The black part.

Otherwise, most of the 22.5 miles of this trail is a safe, sometimes bucolic experience for runners, bikers, strollers even equestrians. As long as they stay away from the trail near Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway.

Since 2011, dozens of people have been beaten, robbed, pushed off bikes and threatened in that part of the trail. All of the suspects in this violence and mayhem are black.

Though most of the time the local media is loathe to say so. Either refusing to give a description, or doing what WRAL did in the latest attack: The TV station described one of the attackers as having a “dark complexion.”

Two sought in latest American Tobacco Trail attack :: WRAL.com

WSAV: News, Weather, and Sports for Savannah, GA

The most recent assault happened earlier this month. An unknown number of black people sent a 53-year old man to the hospital after robbing him and beating him with a big stick. Other than saying the crime took place on the part of the trail about a mile north of Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway, police are not giving out much more information.

But there is not much to say that police haven’t said more than 40 times since 2011:

In July a roller blader and a jogger were robbed by a man holding a gun.

Last August, a group of black people beat a jogger at 7:30 p.m. On the trail.

They did not rob him.

“The simple assaults don’t appear to be motivated by robbery,” the Durham Chief of Police told WRAL TV. “It appears to be motivated more by mischievousness and the locations where they find individuals who are clearly running by themselves.”

Police suggest carrying a cell phone and using the trail with others.

This whole ‘fight the mischievous thugs with a cell phone’ thing does not really work for many residents of Durham. Said one user of the WRAL web site:

Again, police advocate carrying a cell phone but not a pistol or even a stout club? What is wrong with them? Are they giving up their firearms? What is the cell phone for? Is that so you have something extra to bargain with the criminal for your life? Unreal.

Sometimes the local media will describe the attackers. Most times not.

“Yeah, great job describing the perp! Could race be involved?” asked one reader at the WRAL site, echoing lots of comments that wonder why the media does not publish a full description, even when the description is available in police reports.

Said another reader: “You forgot to mention that it was ninja who robbed them because apparently no one got a description of him. No one sees a ninja!”

Not all of the crimes are reported to the police. But this biker posted this at IndyWeek.com:

This was my first ride on the ATT.

Having had my ass kicked by a group of teens in NYC, I saw familiar signs of trouble to come as I headed back towards downtown. 5-6 young teens huddled around on a bridge and watched me as I approached, right before Riddle Rd, I believe. As I passed them, one kid threw a fistful of rocks at me, hitting the side of my face. I said “thanks,” since I was sure these guys understood and appreciated sarcasm. Right past them was a large branch on the path, neatly placed to block the entire paved area. I rode over it slowly, just in time for 3 older teens, maybe 18 or so, to approach me, one of whom said something, which I lost in the wind I generated hauling ass towards town.

 

Not all are even condemned. In November 2011, Lisa Sorg wrote about safety on the American Tobacco Trail for Indyweek.com. She reported her own brush with mayhem.

And in late September, I had to call the police from Mile Marker .25, at the bridge downtown. This was at 5:30 in the afternoon when a guy on a trick bike yells, “Goddamn bitch.” I didn’t answer. So he biked in front of me and continued to accost me, “Hey, Goddamn bitch, why didn’t you answer? Why are you getting all white on me?”

If anyone expected outrage or anger from this urban warrior, they would be disappointed. All they got was resignation:

Now I know it’s impossible for police to surveil the entire trail; from downtown to Southpoint mall it’s essentially a 6.5-mile linear park. And if you choose to travel the trail at night, then don’t complain when you are relieved of your wallet.

Another resident of Durham said we should not be so quick to judge the people accused of the crime. She suspects many of the people attacked did something to provoke the attackers:

There are always two sides to a story. A guy says he’s attacked by some kids and everyone assumes he’s the victim. I’m positive that guy had some part of it.

Let’s not seriously think people are out there praying (sic) on joggers. The guy said the kids threw rocks and tried to trip him? Why was he close enough for them to trip him? Probably because he was trying to confront them about something.”

Others remind people of the more serious, even more violent crime in downtown Durham. Local columnist Cark Kenney says “talks about crime should not be limited to the American Tobacco Trail.” And besides, “When the victims are people living with privilege we talk about it too much. When the victims lack resources we talk about it too little.”

In downtown Durham last summer, a group of black people robbed and assaulted a 53-year old man, putting him in the hospital in critical condition.

This was the second such crime in that area within a month: “The suspects are also four black male teenagers.The victim was also hospitalized and in critical condition,” said the News Observer.

Even so, its the persistent violence at the American Tobacco Trail that gets the attention. Too much of the wrong kind of attention, said one local resident: “This is a pride and joy of the whole city. Our American Tobacco Trail is a wonderful place for families, for diversity, for bikers, walkers of all ages,” she said

Lots of readers were not sure what she meant by saying the trail promotes diversity.

But several did offer advice about how to safe on it: Said Scot34 at WRAL: “if you want to be a target and statistic,walk or run the trail. When will you people learn to defend yourself and solve this problem. These unarmed and unprepared citizens are making this a target rich environment for criminals, thats why it continues to happen.”

WhiteGirl_300x250_01Wow. Getting worse in Minneapolis.

 

Anyone who reads this blog of my book knows how often I talk about Minneapolis being a scene of intense and frequent racial violence.

It is getting worse.

Here is an article from Minneapolis i just received from a Minneapolis reader.

And oh yeah, I wrote about the downtown crime alert in Minneapolis a few weeks ago …

From the Star Tribune:

Man killed in downtown Mpls. after crime alert issued only to businesses

  • Article by: MATT MCKINNEY , Star Tribune
  • Updated: September 6, 2013 – 12:56 PM

Alert on beatings, robberies went to businesses a week before fatal one but not to public.

  • Eight days before a man was knocked to the ground and killed inMinneapolis, police warned of similar attacks by young robbers in the area, distributing an alert to downtown businesses.

“Warn patrons … have your door monitors be aware …” the alert read, but it never went to the larger public via the Police Department’s crime alert e-mail system.

A more public alarm may not have made a difference for Adrian Hernandez, 44, a salon worker who was trailed by three young men down Hennepin Avenue early on the morning of Aug. 22. They followed him for five blocks. He died Sunday of his injuries suffered in the attack.

With robberies up dramatically over two years in Minneapolis, the crime fit a disturbing pattern that police had seen four times in August: a lone individual, often intoxicated, gets surrounded by three to five young men who then rob and sometimes assault their victims. Wallets and iPhones, which can fetch $200 on the streets, were typically taken. The attacks took place in a strip of downtown bounded by Marquette and 1st Avenues N. Men and women were targeted.

A civilian employee of the Police Department issued an alert to downtown businesses on Aug. 14 but did not issue a more broad “crime alert” to residents and others who subscribe to the service, which would have required the approval of a police inspector or lieutenant.

“Part of that decision was made because the target audience was outside of what we felt would be reached through normal delivery channels,” said Sgt. Bill Palmer, a department spokesman.

The typical downtown crowd includes people who live outside the city and may not subscribe to the e-mail crime alerts, he said.

Palmer said it’s also a balance the police try to strike between arming the public with information and not crying wolf.

If the police e-mail too many warnings, he said, people would just “delete, delete, delete.”

And I forgot about this posting on a web site from a few months ago:

As a 20 year resident of the Twin Cities, I can tell you that “Minnesota nice” is no more. The downtown areas of both Minneapolis and St. Paul are downright dangerous after normal business hours.

Formerly bustling suburbs like Robbinsdale and St. Louis Park have turned into ghettos. Malls, restaurants and shops are few and far between in downtown areas.

All of this, and I mean all of it, is caused by minorities – mostly blacks. Even the Mall of America is under assault. Go there on a Saturday afternoon and you’ll see gangs of blacks with colors flying and pant legs rolled up.

They ogle, whistle at and harass white women, even following them around. They occupy the food courts, which are a constant source of intimidation and mayhem.

Last January, some 200 blacks got into a violent chair throwing fracas at one of the food courts. It quickly spread to other areas, forcing 
stores to close their gates and paying customers to flee. There was cell phone video all over the Internet, showing conclusively that the combatants were black. We’ll never know if there were any arrests made or charges filed because the print and broadcast media had little to say.

The government, the media, the police and others simply refuse to acknowledge the problem, referring instead to youths, teenagers and youngsters.

I feel badly for the young man who was beaten but you have to wonder…”What was this guy thinking?” Blacks are trouble. They are loud, vulgar, disrespectful and violent – and they get away with it because nobody will address the problem head on.

 


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.

Every day, some liberal gets my hopes up.

They promise there are hundreds and thousands of videos of white mob violence out there. They say I am cherry picking the videos of black mob violence for my own nefarious purposes.

If that were true: That there is a ton of unreported white racial violence out there on video and no one knows about it, I would write that book right away.

And make a gajillion dollars.

And go on Oprah.

And party with Jay Z.

They would glorify my name on MSNBC.

So far, no dice.

It happened again today: Someone promised to send me some links showing that I was cherry picking. Then did not.

Here is the exchange from Facebook:

Clarence LeBlanc:  i’ve watched many of your videos…I thought to myself…could you not make videos of under reported mexican crime…or white cime? I’m sure there must be tons of horrible video from every segmant of society no?

Me: I keep hearing that… I keep not getting the links. Why?

Clarence LeBlanc:  because you focus solely on blacks and it’s very devisive. Some of your followers use your videos as fuel for very sad and scrary narrative. Who knows what they do in real life. A group the other day wanted to get together and place bait…and wait for an ambush using lethal force. Just upsetting.

Colin Flaherty:  All you have to do to shut me down is produce videos of white/Asian people acting the same way in the same proportion. Can’t do it. Can you?

Clarence LeBlanc:  I can find 100’S of videos in 5 minutes on youtube of white idiots being vile and violent. Who wants to see such a thing? You…you have an audience…anything bad and black is awesome…specially now with the HNIC . You must be sad to see him go. He must be great for business.

Colin Flaherty: Who is HNIC?  And when you are going to stop blaming the weatherman every time it rains?

And why are liberals withholding all these videos from me and YouTube and everywhere else?
