I guess it is so common in Baltimore that a few hundred black people beating, stealing, destroying property and creating mayhem is not that big of a deal.
“teens assaulted people with bricks and sticks and robbed at least one battered person of a phone.”
There is no video of this race riot. But here are a few links to some recent episodes of racial violence in Baltimore that should give you an idea what we are talking about.
Here’s the latest video plus a recap of recent racial violence in Baltimore.
And oh yeah, this also happened on Memorial Day, at a high school graduation. I checked to make sure that the school held a graduation on Memorial Day and sure enough, it had.
Black mob violence at nightclubs: the “Let Out” fights and riots.
They call them “Let Out Fights:” The black mob violence that is a regular feature of life at night clubs, coast to coast, especially at closing time. All the time.
Sometimes the fighting is just a few people. Other times as many as 500. Gunfire is common. So is video. Arrests are not.
Some recent examples:
In Portland, a “riot” and triple shooting left one man dead and two wounded outside of a black night club — so dangerous even its own bouncers recently had to call police because they feared for their lives during an after-hours party.
Local media report that early Saturday morning, hundreds of people were fighting and shooting in the streets of North East Portland — a euphemism for the black part of town.
KGW TV news reported the attacks on police as well. Everything except the black part:
“Very hostile crowd — people saying things like, you know, ‘shoot the cops,’ and they were trying to secure the scene so they called for a city-wide Code 3 response, which means every available car in the city should respond to that area,” said Sgt. Pete Simpson with the Portland Police Bureau”
The Portland Oregonian was careful not to report these fights and shootings were part of a pattern of racial violence. After issuing a customary warning to its readers not to talk about black mob violence, one comment did sneak through:
Nobody wants to say it, and nobody ever admits it, but at some time in the future, when it gets So Bad that something has to be done to put a stop to all this political correctness….something may be solved.
There is a large segment of the African-American community, here in Portland and in many other major Metro Urban cities, that just do not know, nor care to, get along with other people without the use of violence, intimidation tactics, race-baiting, and blaming “the Man” or “racist white society” for any and all problems in their lives.
Other readers insisted the racial violence was “isolated.” Wrong on two counts: One, the state liquor agency shut down the club soon after the shootings and attacks on police after documenting that several episodes of recent violence and mayhem at the club created “serious and persistent problems.”
And two, the problem is not isolated to Portland. In Statesboro, Georgia, the headline tells the story: “2 nightclubs, 2 shootings, 1 death.”
This week in Newburgh, New York, witnesses testified about black mob violence last summer outside of a black nightclub. The Times-Herald Record reports some of the testimony:
Larry Gantt is charged with intentionally slashing the throat of police Officer Eric Henderson during the melee. Gantt’s lawyer contends Gantt had been jumped and stomped by a large group of attackers and thought that the person grabbing him was an assailant renewing the assault.
Senior Assistant District Attorney Michael Milza started with police witnesses, including Officer Kevin Lahar, who was first on the scene after the report of a large fight. Lahar described the hectic scene: 80 to 100 people on the sidewalks and streets, some arguing or pushing, at least one group engaged in “violent and tumultuous” actions.
Also over the weekend in Brockton, Massachusetts, The Enterprise News tells us 15 police officers saw:
large groups of people fighting outside two downtown establishments.
One man was being brutally kicked in the head, said Sgt. James Baroud, one of two police officers who used a Taser, or electronic stun gun, to try and subdue the suspects early Sunday morning.
“It was crazy. It was just an extremely chaotic scene,” Baroud said Sunday. “Punches were being thrown all over the place.”
Everyone fighting, and the three people arrested were black.
In Syracuse over the weekend, a triple stabbing during a large Let Out Fight left one man in critical condition. According the CNY Central, “there’ve been several fights and stabbing at the bar in the past several months … Some neighbors … say the violence is unusual, while others say it comes with the city’s reputation.”
In Waterloo, Iowa, city officials have declared a black nightclub downtown to be a “chronic nuisance” after repeated fightings, stabbings and a recent riot.
In early November, 60 black people were fighting after the club closed. According to KCRG TV news in Waterloo:
This comes after a handful of situations such as disorderly conduct, a fight and a stabbing that required police response.
At around 1:50 Sunday morning, Waterloo police had their hands full.
“All of the sudden, in essence, one officer described it as a riot,” said Waterloo Police Chief Dan Trelka. Chief Trelka said a fight involving more than 60 people took place near the club.
This is a long list, that also includes recent black mob violence during Let Out Fights in Rochester (two stabbed), New Haven (repeated gun shots), Saginaw (gunshots), Miamisburg, Ohio, Tallahassee, Myrtle Beach, Cleveland, Washington, D.C., York, Pa. Asbury Park, Piscataway, Elk Grove, and on and on.
“Did the editors of O Live pick a 2 point font for this story to minimize the significance of this inner city riot?”
“the Liberal whitewash of minority crimes allows criminals and killers to roam free and the lack of prosecution puts these criminals back on the streets to re-offend. Treating people as individuals would make our city and country much safer.”
“This was an isolated spontaneous free for all involving drunken bar patrons.”
“I moved here from Chicago to get away from this kind of stuff. I thought Portland was a liberal, laid back kind of town.” Tim Knight.
Police from several Lower Bucks County departments rushed to the 2600 block of Durham Road in Bristol Township for a reported large fight early Sunday. In the end, Bristol Township police cited six people for the fight that happened at around 1:30 a.m. outside the bar, Lt. Guy Sava said.

Gunshots rang out downtown both Friday and Saturday night, continuing the trend of violence outside of crowded nightclubs in the Elm City. The first incident occurred just outside of Pulse Nightclub on Chapel Street Saturday morning. At 2:13 a.m., after police responded to a large fight that broke out as the club closed for the evening, shots were fired. Two men were hit and taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. As of now, police are still investigating the shooting and have made no arrests. “This string of violent incidents, one that left two men wounded by gunfire, is an inexcusable occurrence,” New Haven Police spokesman David Hartman said. “Violence to this degree is not typical, but when it occurs in New Haven, it almost always stems from a venue that had promoted a hip-hop event.”September 14, 2013Two People Shot Outside New Haven Nightclub | NBC Connecticut

I am in the social work field and sometimes agree with some of the thinking patterns I see on here, but then also realize there are so many factors that too many don’t take into consideration. The biggest one being the family of the victim and the pain they are going thru. Until this day, I have never experienced a family member that was gunned down and didn’t realize just how negative the comments were, again until today. The man that was shot was the father of my children. A graduate of Ferris State University. He is far from an angel and I couldn’t agree more that he should not have been there and it is not a safe environment…however..we all should be able to go out in this county with out the fear of being shot..sometimes we make mistakes..no one is perfect…NOONE…but I really think we need to let God start judging individuals and stop assuming they are of a certain ‘brand” and assuming they got what they deserved, or assume they were carrying weapons and drugs. This is def not my scene..but to each their own…my sons almost lost their father today…regardless of what you may think..assume,…know….more

Police Probe Large Fight Outside Downtown Salisbury Nightclub – WBOC-TV 16, Delmarvas News Leader, FOX 21 – Authorities are investigating a large fight that occurred outside a nightclub in Salisbury’s Downtown Plaza over the weekend. Salisbury police said that at around 12:40 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 20, officers were dispatched to the 18-and-under “Club Azul” in the Plaza Gateway Building to investigate the report of a large fight. When officers arrived on the scene, they observed approximately 200-300 people in the middle of the street involved in a number of individual fights. Comments:
Under 18 clubs around here don’t work. Look at the history for Salisbury and under 18 clubs…..shootings, stabblings, fights, and more than normal drama. Cops have enough to deal with in this town without this drama. Just plain and simple under 18 can’t handle going out to try to act like adults even though some of them are adults.
They need to shut it down. It amazes me that the club owner isn’t taking this seriously. Folks who reside downtown are absolutely SICK of all of the loitering, the gunshots, the fighting, and the littering. It seems like each weekend it gets worse and worse. SOMETHINGS GOTTA GIVE!!
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.
Some 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.
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.
