Baltimore black mob bike thefts: Way worse than reported.
If you follow my podcasts or Facebook page then you already know about the case of black mob violence over the Memorial Day weekend — and how the local press completely under-reported it.
Here’s the story: a group of “youth” stole 40 bikes from a CitiBike program and beat up a few city workers.
Now we learn more: It was way worse than anyone first said, we are getting a better picture:
100 black people were fighting at a local swimming pool. They did not like when they got kicked out. So they stole 40 bikes and beat and threatened city workers.
And oh yeah, this has happened before.

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.
But that is what happened over the Memorial Day Weekend. The paper did a half-assed story with their usual promise to let us know more about it when they do.
“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.

Biking While White in Baltimore. Video of racial violence.
Guy is biking through Baltimore. Group of black people throw bottles at him. Knock him off his bike.
All the time laughing.
Then beat him.
And oh yeah, its been happening a while.
Here is the victim’s description:
“Recorded on 4/12/14. Attacked by a group of teenagers on the bike route on the 1600-1700 block of Guilford Ave. You can hear when they threw a bottle at me from behind and then see when I try to grab my lock as a last resort as they started to attack, but dropped it.
Grabbed it before they did. Only damage was to my thumb when they stomped it. Took punches, but they must have hit my helmet, because I don’t have any marks. Camera cuts out at the end around this time. On the ground I started yelling “help help help”.
Residents started coming out and a distant siren scared them off. Called 911 after and met with an officer a few minutes later.”
Now comes the good part from a biking activist web site: Apologizing because they predators did not have enough stuff to do.
“The only way to know what motivated the specific group of youth who appear on the video is to ask them, but we suspect that if Baltimore had more productive adult supervision and more safe places for youth to learn and engage in positive activities, this incident would not have occurred.”
And oh yeah, this has been happening a long time:
“You may remember last April, there were a number of assaults on cyclists around the Copycat Building on Guilford Ave. This author was among the riders who was threatened but escaped physical injury. Mark Brown, former blogger at Car Free Baltimore, wasn’t so lucky and incurred physical trauma.”
As a matter of fact, I do not remember. Maybe because the local media does not report racial violence.
But here is what a few local riders posted about the incidents.
“me and my friend had the same thing happen to us on charles street just north of north avenue where the street lights turn to LED and the trees block a lot of lights. it’s definitely up around there. be safe.”

the-other-ryan-in-baltibrew ryan97ou • a year ago I am that above mentioned friend. It’s been happening in Lower Charles village for a long time. It warms up, and bored kids outside for the first time in months see this as an opportunity to get a bike for the summer.
The only thing these kids respond to is threat of force, or capture. They have nothing to lose. Keep your lock in your back pocket, folks, and don’t feel bad about using it.They’re obviously not worried about hurting you.
My favorite part: And oh yeah, its been happening a long time.
White Girl Bleed a Lot — Knockout Game edition
Letter from Baltimore.
Dear Colin,
I’m yr Baltimore guy who spoke with you at length 4 months ago. I have LOVED yr articles in WND and elsewhere – have read all of them, methinks. You have guts, my friend.
I experienced my own assault 100 yards from my apartment when I intervened to stop a young black guy chasing his girlfriend (?) with a baseball bat. I ended up on the ground being kicked in the head. Fortunately, he stopped and the cops turned 8p 5 mi=nutes later. I’ll testify at his trial in 4 weeks.
I’m a strong guy in good shape (6′, 250 lbs, biker and kayaker) – but he ambushed me with a quick hit in the face after I’d let him off the ground after I had gotten the bat away from him and tossed it away. But I ended up on the ground face-down so fast I never knew how it happened. Believe me, it was a shock.
I’m 67 and this was my first fight ever. I’ll be packing pepper spray from now on. I’d prefer a gun but in this state, it takes months – if that – to get one and the hoops you must jump through are endless and costly.
Keep up the good writing.
John Baltimore
PS: That poignant piece by a Baltmore woman (writer, artist) living near Patterson Park that you ran recently really got to me. I know that area well, my GF spent yrs there early in her first marriage. It has changed character…
Knockout Game Denials continue .. Baltimore. Oakland. etc.
A preview of an article at WND.com
Links below.
Call it whatever you want: The Knockout game. Polar hear hunting. Wolf packs. Black on white crime. Black mob violence.
Whatever: New reports of racial violence from New Haven, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Salisbury, Milwaukee, Oakland, Minneapolis, Brooklyn, Antioch, and other places are coming in faster than reporters can wish them away. No matter how much the Society of Professional Journalist tries otherwise. No matter how many members of the National Association of Black Journalists want to convince us differently.
Even Al Sharpton admits the attacks are real and “racist.” Which is more than the New York Times, CNN, USA Today and others are doing.
“There’s definitely something going on,” said Taleeb Starkes, author of the Uncivil War: Confronting The Subculture within the African American Community. “And it’s not new. I find it funny that those who dismiss the trend as hearsay, will also passionately debate whether the predators are Black 98 percent of the time versus 99 percent of the time. Other times, they note that Blacks are also victimized by Black mob violence. Wait, I thought that Black mob violence didn’t exist? As a result, society is at a tipping point. More and more people are refusing to accept the high levels of pathology in the black community as normal.”
“That sentiment has yet to effectively reach the news rooms or class rooms. Even so, there are simply too many witnesses, too many victims, too many police reports, too much video, and too many people demanding the truth. This large-scale denial will not continue for much longer. And it is starting in newsrooms, ever so slowly.”
The Yale Daily News, America’s oldest college newspaper, reluctantly reported seven recent episodes of the Knockout Game in and around the New Haven campus in November. Not once mentioning all the assailants were black and the victims were not.
Police respond to knockout threat | Yale Daily News
Not once mentioning the New Haven is a center of black mob violence directed at students and staff of Yale — last summer two doctors were assaulted in racial violence, one losing part of his ear.
WND has documented more than a dozen other cases of black mob violence in New Haven, including this roundup. Black mobs erupt in Ivy League region.
That even was before the “All Black Affair” party in October, where 500 black people fought with police, destroyed property, and rampaged through three New Haven establishments. No one was arrested.
Whatever is(not) happening, the paper did find time to report it has been like that for a long time and everyone knows it because they live in an “urban environment,” said one Yalie.
The Yale student paper did find time, however, to report the Knockout Game was either a myth cooked up by national hysteria created by conservative sensationalism or something like that. Sayeth the paper:
“Sergeant Al Vazquez of the NHPD Detective Bureau shared residents’ concerns about media sensationalism. The best way to prevent further “knockout” attacks is to educate New Haven residents as well as the media, Vazquez said. He explained that the media helps perpetuate the trend by continually covering it.”
That’s a new one for Taleeb Starkes: “Just the opposite is true: The media enables black mob violence by ignoring and denying it. All documented in White Girl Bleed a Lot. But there is no doubt the student paper is a perfect reflection of standard media denial.”
The students at the Yale college paper should not be condemned too harshly for omitting the context and history of the latest racial violence in New Haven. It’s part of their trade: The Society of Professional Journalists holds regular seminars around the country and recently published an article in its national magazine about how to report black mob violence:
Don’t.
Meanwhile, in Oakland Wednesday night, a black person attacked a white man riding on a bus. The local Fox affiliate dutifully reported the “Knockout game may be a hoax.” Anthony Lindsey says he knows it is real: “You think its fake: Its not. It happened to me.”
‘Knockout Game’ Hits Oakland – Fox Nation
In Baltimore, several victims of assault are coming forward to say they too were objects of the Knockout Game. According to the local ABC affiliate:
“ABC2 talked to victims months ago, before the “knockout game” was a national buzz phrase. Back then, leaders wouldn’t talk to us because they weren’t aware of the problem. Now they won’t talk because they don’t want it to become one here in Baltimore.
“Jonathan Lomaskin spent the summer battered, beaten up and broken. “I had a complete fracture. Basically my lower mandible was fractured in half and all these teeth rolled inward,” Lomaskin said.
Baltimore victims believe they’ve been targeted in knockout game
The Mayor of Baltimore, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, is one of the political leaders who is not talking about the Knockout Game.
This is in contrast to her eagerness to talk about the killing of Trayvon Martin and subsequent acquittal of George Zimmerman.
Many of the stories about the Knockout Game hoaz are written by members of the National Association of Black Journalists. The NABJ recently hosted the parents of Trayvon Martin at its annual convention.
They were received like rock stars. The Grio.com — the black web site of NBC News — reported how NABJ is encouraging its members to report more “black issues.”
Not only did they invite Trayvon’s parents to address these issues to a group of media professionals, separate panels and meetings were also held that provided further discussion on the direction black journalists should take with their coverage.
“As far the news goes and covering black issues, it’s not always been something that news organizations have been guilty of doing,” said Corey Dade, a contributor to The Root. “This is the story, race in America is the news story. You can apply it to everything. There is a viable, lucrative market there when you start reporting about people of color.”
Trayvon Martin’s parents speak at NABJ convention: His ‘legacy lives on’ | theGrio
Reporters like Melanie Eversley at USA Today are paying attention: She recently wrote a story called “Alleged trend of knockout game a myth.” Eversley describes herself as an “involved NABJ member.”

Even by Baltimore standards, neighbors are astonished at the frequency and intensity of black mob violence in and around a suburban skating rink this summer. And last summer. And the summer before.
And at other skating rinks and other shopping centers in the Baltimore area over the same period.
Local media and public officials refuse to report or talk about how everyone involved in these hyper-violent confrontations is black. But neighbors know. And many think that the race of the criminals is preventing law enforcement from arresting and prosecuting those responsible for these “riotous” and “out of control crowds.”
The latest violence is centered around the Skate Land roller rink in the Baltimore suburb of Fullerton. The crowds range from 300 to 900 people. They require as many as 25 police cruisers and one helicopter to control.
Complaints flood in about rowdy teens at skate rink | Baltimore County News – WBAL Home
The dozens of examples of black mob violence connected to the rink range from throwing bricks through police car windows, to vandalizing the Denny’s restaurant next door, to beating clerks and stealing merchandise from a nearby convenience store, to fighting with police, jumping on cars — breaking their window and ruining their paint, and much, much more:
Amber Ruth was caught up in one of the periodic spasms of violence where hundreds of children “children” walk in the street, stop traffic, destroy property — and worse. Says Ruth to the plucky Patch newspaper:
I was on my way home on a Friday night around 9:30pm and they shut down Skate Land at Putty Hill because of fighting and those little hoodlums busted out my back window with me sitting in my car when i was stopped at the light in at Rossville blvd & BelAir Rd..
I called over a Police officer and told him what they did. He told me to get out of there it WAS NOT SAFE! No kidding, it was not safe, they busted out my window, $800 worth of damage.
The violence forces several businesses to close during peak skating hours. Many of the stories of violence and vandalism involve the crowds walking to a nearby bus stop. WBAL TV captured some of the violence:
Community members said the crowds at the Putty Hill-area Skate Land are out of control and getting dangerous.
Police said that the complaints about large groups of rowdy teens leaving Skate Land at 11 p.m. and being loud and destructive increased in early July.
“They’re complaints about destruction of property. We have businesses that have had to lock their doors because of the large crowds,” said police Cpl. Cathy Batton.
Investigators described damaged cars and street signs. They said they increased patrols with 25 police cars this past Saturday, but teens threw bricks through the car windows. Two juveniles were arrested on disorderly conduct charges that same night.
Anil Chadha, an employee at the nearby 7-Eleven, told 11 News that teens attacked him from behind on Saturday. He showed reporter Kai Reed damage to his car that he said happened when a group of teens jumped on top of it.
“Every Saturday, it’s a problem. A lot of kids come in here – 300, 400 kids come in here,” Chadha said.
Daniel Porter, the manager of Skate Land , sees himself as the good guy: Giving inner city “children” something to do on Friday and Saturday nights. Even if they have to travel to the rink by city bus from far away. And he says he needs the busy weekends to keep his business open during the week.
“Skating is not as popular as it used to be,” Porter laments.
Juanita Foster-Anderson is a chaperone who says most of the violence comes from a “few bad apples that ruin it for other kids,” said the Patch.
Neighbors scorned that answer: “A few bad apples?” asked a reader at the Patch. “By my vision that night, they were ALL bad apples on the street. Did not see one kid acting respectful at all. If there were some good apples, they definitely weren’t included in the hundreds on Belair Road last Saturday evening.”
Porter said the problem could have been avoided if city and county officials had listened to his suggestions to provide buses to pick up the “children” at the rink. But public officials told him that private companies are responsible for their own transportation.
Many of the local media outlets do not publish comments if they refer to the race of the people involved in the violence. But some do, Some times. Including WBAL TV.
I have seen the animals coming out of this skate rink all are black and have no respect for anyone or any thing. They walk in the middle of Belair Rd and dare you to hit them. All of them need parental control.
Another viewer said:
If the teens were all black, it should have been pointed out as who. Nowadays, so-called journalists report the news to suit their agenda.
This epic level of black mob violence in more than 100 cities around the country is documented in White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence and how the media ignore it.
But to some viewers of WBAL, that did not matter:
What does race have to do with this???? Stop jumping on board with the race card ok….I don’t know nor care what race is doing what there.
Baltimore has been the scene of dozens of episodes of black mob violence over the last three years. Many reported here at WND.com. Last month, the Baltimore Sun reported that T. Rowe Price, one of Baltimore’s largest employers, is considering leaving the area because one of its vendors was recently attacked there.
Last year, Baltimore legislator Pat McDonough asked the governor to declare the upscale Inner Harber a “No Travel” zone because “black youths” were terrorizing the downtown.
In 2009, the Baltimore Sun published a blog posting titled: “Near Riot at Skateland on Belair Road?” Several readers wrote it to remove the question mark: “I too live in the area and see the roaming masses of homies when Thugland, I mean Skateland gets out. A veritable “Homie-fest!!!” They like to block the entrance to the 7-11 until Abdul comes out with a baseball bat.”
Near Riot at Skateland on Belair Road???
One of the reasons police do not arrest more black people in the Baltimore area is because black juries are often reluctant to vote to convict black defendants. This observation of racial jury tampering comes from academic and legal studies such as “Jury Nullification, Race, and The Wire.” And from David Simon, creator of the Baltimore crime drama, The Wire, a veteran of 13 years on the cop beat for the Baltimore Sun.
Simon is the Hollywood uber-liberal who recently made a few headlines in the wake of the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the killing of Trayvon Martin: “The season on African-Americans now runs year round,” he declared. “ If I were a person of color in Florida, I would pick up a brick and start walking toward that courthouse in Sanford.”
In his recent book, Homicide, A year on the killing streets, Simon talks about racial jury nullification with unusual candor:
“As with every other part of the criminal justice machine, racial issues permeate the jury system in Baltimore. Given that the vast majority of urban violence is black-on-black crime, and given that the pool of possible jurors is 60 to 70 percent black, Baltimore prosecutors take almost every case into court with the knowledge that the crime will be seen through the lens of the black community’s historical suspicion of a white-controlled police department and court system.
The effect of race on the judicial system is freely acknowledged by prosecutors and defense attorneys-black and white alike-although the issue is rarely raised directly in court.
Race is instead a tacit presence that accompanies almost every panel of twelve into a Baltimore jury room. Once, in a rare display, a black defense attorney actually pointed to her own forearm while giving closing arguments to an all-black panel: “Brothers and sisters,” she said, as two white detectives went out of their minds in the back row of the gallery, “I think we all know what this case is about.”
The Baltimore area violence is not just limited to Skate Land and not just the Putty Hill mall. “White Marsh Mall and The Avenue at White Marsh is exactly the same way,” said one reader of the Patch. “Been there on a Friday or Saturday night lately? Horrible. County police officers are outside and inside the movie theatre and patrolling The Avenue as well.”
Other readers mentioned Towson as another cite of racial violence around public places.
Twenty miles away, at the Arundel Mills Mall, six black people assaulted a shopper on Saturday. According to WBAL: “When the victim tried to defend himself, the others in the group surrounded and assaulted him.”

So they caught the members of the black mob caught on video attacking a waiter last week.
They broke his jaw.
The police caught them after they sent sexual messages to a victim’s girlfriend on the phone they stole.
And did I mention there were several cases of black mob violence from the same group the same night?
There were.
Here’s a link to the story: Black Mob caught in Baltimore.
Meanwhile, the Fox affiliate mentioned the B – word.
Black.
The Fox affiliate actually mentioned that black mobs were a problem in Baltimore.
I cannot embed the video, but here is the link: Black Mobs in Baltimore make the TV News.
The reporter tracked the mayor down and asked her about it. She said she had not seen it, so she could not comment.
The station then reported that the Mayor had taken the time to comment about Trayvon. But not Baltimore.
Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.
ARE THEY TRYING TO PUT ME OUT OF BUSINESS???
Not to worry: The Baltimore Sun ran a story saying T. Rowe Price is thinking about moving its headquarters out of downtown Baltimore.
Several employees and vendors have been assaulted by black mobs. Though the paper did not say that. The black part, that is.
Along with the mayor, the Sun insists that downtown is safe; the mobs do not exist; race is not an issue; and anyone who disagrees will be subject to some pretty nasty name calling. Just like Pat McDonough last year.
WHEW! I WAS WORRIED THERE FOR A MINUTE.
