We have lots of readers in police departments around the country. Constantly sending tips and sometimes just emails like this:
Dear Mr. Flaherty,
I’m a policeman in XXXXX, California. I’ve seen black mob violence for 23 years.as far as I can remember you’re the first one to actually bring it up in the media.
xxx
Amazing, huh? This letter is from a cop in a city that is liberal by even California standards.
Pretty sure he heard me on the Armstrong and Getty show.

We get lots of letters from victims of racial violence. Here’s one:
Dear Mr. Flaherty,
I keep track as much as possible, to these news stories that report racial violence towards whites and Asians by African Americans and have noticed that they hardly ever make news outside the city limits of the towns and cities they occur in.
My local newspaper studiously omits descriptions of “at large” suspects because they have told me it is not necessary, that the descriptions which often do include color of clothing,(easily changed) height and weight could “fit so many people” they had lost their usefulness.
Not to me, just another potential victim, looking over her shoulder.
I have a special interest of course that causes me to write.
I was kidnapped and raped when I was barely 19, my car forced off the road, my window smashed and my car left running, lights on and with my purse inside. My mother was notified an hour or so later and for hours didn’t know if I was alive or dead. The rapist was a 18 year old black man , who plainly told me that he belonged to a group who raped white girls.
The small city I worked in (I was on my way home from work when I was followed) had a very tiny black population. In California we had never had the kind of racial discrimination that the South did, and the only black person I knew was one girl in my high school.
It turned out there had been many victims of this guy, all white.
This was never mentioned in the newspaper and the only outrage that occurred was by a local member of the NAACP who objected to the newspaper for describing the rapist as “burly” meaning I assume well muscled, broad shouldered and strong…this before he was found and arrested.
They felt it was a racial slur. On the other hand, described in fairly identifiable terms, living in a small town, and working at a place that was noted, everyone knew about me. The pitying looks, the really sickening comments and invasive questions from my friends and neighbors, even relatives were my daily fare
For years afterward, and this was in the 70’s, the media, the colleges and every liberal pundit expressed the belief that black men raping white women was a racial stereotype that held no truth.
Imagine how that stung every time I heard it. This being the liberal 70’s, his sentence was two years for each of the three victims who found the courage to testify. When he was let out, he raped white women again (no one noted this particular bent) and went back to jail.
When I first heard of the term “hate crime” it made me so angry…what kind of violent crime isn’t based on some kind of hate?
And if crimes against women of every kind don’t get that extra enhancement, why should anyone? I appreciate your book and your courage in writing it. It won’t be an easy time for you, and I feel bad that your reputation and character will now be vilified for exposing a small part of the truth.

For the aficionado of racial violence, a white riot is the Holy Grail: So often talked about, but so rare, some doubt it even exists.
This is in contrast to the epidemic of more than 500 cases of recent black mob violence in more than 100 cities — documented in the new book White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence and how the media ignore it.
On a recent Jesse Lee Peterson radio show, a caller disputed the idea that black mob violence exists out of proportion. White people are just as guilty, she said. It’s just they never get arrested.
That is why so many people were so excited at news of the recent “riot” at the University of Delaware: Finally a white riot. Finally, on video.
The occasion was a beer blast at the home of a few members of the school rugby team. On hand to film the bacchanalia were members of the Schmacked TV production crew. They specialize in capturing drunken hijinks on college campuses then showing it on MTV and later selling the videos.
In September, it was Delaware’s turn. And if acting the fool after drinking a few beers was against the law, there is no doubt this was a civil disturbance of epic proportions.
But the video tapes reveal a milder story. This “riot” had major league numbers, with 3,000 students running, jumping, laughing, and stopping traffic on the main street of this Newark college town.
But the violence was non-existent and and criminality was strictly minor league. Especially when compared with some recent black mob violence.
The “riot” began when the off-campus party ended: Soon after, students filled the internet with videos of party-goers dancing on cars. Yes, that left a few dents.
But unlike a recent episode of black mob violence in a Chicago suburb in February, no drivers were attacked. Nobody threw a looted chair from a nearby vandalized store and broke the window of an SUV trapped in traffic.
Much of the mayhem and violence from the 500 black people in that episode was captured on video.
No one was arrested. Neither did it make ABC evening news.
There were no fights or stabbings at the University of Delaware “riot.” Especially if you exclude tussling for free beer.
Not like a recent episode of mob violence over the weekend at the black Virginia State University. There, hundreds of black students roamed the campus — fighting, destroying property. One person was stabbed.
One student told the CBS affiliate “it was nothing but chaos.” Another told 8 News he saw a “riot, just commotion.” Another said the mob was moving from one area of the campus to another, leaving destruction in its wake. Finally, police locked down the entire campus for 12 hours.
A warrant has been issued for the alleged stabber. As for the others, no one was arrested. Nothing, so far, from ABC news hound Diane Sawyer.
Neither was the University of Delaware mayhem anything like the huge brawl featuring 200 black students at a party at Central State University in Ohio last May. On video.
Several police officers were attacked. Two students went to the hospital. One person was arrested.
Neither did the Delaware mayhem compare to the huge fight at the black Livingston College in North Carolina last Spring. There, local news stations report 300 black people fought and destroyed property at a campus party. Two people were arrested.
Then started throwing bottles and other objects at him. Soon after 80 police were in the streets in riot gear. The party ended after a few people were forcibly detained. Six black people were arrested.
At the University of Delaware, school officials banned the rubgy team for five years — the death penalty for the program. Two members of the team hosted the party, but it was not an official team function.
At USC, no one got banned. Instead, school officials held a community forum to hear students accuse the school of wrong doing: Racial profiling and and other racial abuse at this exclusive college also known as the University of Spoiled Children.
I had flashbacks to an era I wasn’t even alive to suffer through. I was too scared to go outside, legitimately fearing that an officer would see me and arrest me for being Black and inquisitive.
I can only imagine how my peers felt when they saw over twenty LAPD patrol cars pull up and release 79 officers to end a peaceful, congratulatory party.
It is inexpressibly disheartening to hear fellow students recount horror stories of police brutality two weeks away from being among the first in my family to graduate from a four-year university. To know that my college degree holds no weight in the face of institutional racism and discrimination is sobering.
Today, despite the back-breaking, mind-destroying, soul-sapping institutional racism at USC, Makiah managed to overcome: She is a first year graduate student in a professional writing program. At USC.
Several rioters attacked police, requiring use of a baton to subdue them. After the riot ended, police packed the violent mob in city buses for a trip — not to jail — but home to Rochester.
It is rare for anyone to be arrested in most of the examples of black mob violence documented in White Girl Bleed a Lot. At one Philadelphia high school, the principal said she did not report large scale black mob violence directed at Asian students over a several year period because she did not want to “criminalize” the students.
And besides, she said, the Asian students antagonized the black students by not knowing anything about black culture.
In Chicago earlier this year, nine black people were arrested for attacking two white people with a “sockful of locks” in a commuter train crowded with witnesses. A staffer for district attorney later dropped all charges.
In New Haven earlier this month, 500 black people attending an “All Black Affair” fought in and out of the party. And when they finished in front of one venue, they moved to another, where police had to stop the violence there. Then another, where police had to stop the violence there.
No one was arrested. Police said they were focusing on crowd control instead.
The dozens of examples of black mob violence connected to the rink over the last yaer range from throwing bricks through police car windows to vandalizing the Denny’s restaurant next door. The violence includes beating clerks and stealing merchandise from a nearby convenience store, fighting with police, jumping on cars – breaking windows and ruining paint – and much, much more.
Two people were arrested at the latest violence in August.
Nothing from ABC national news on that one. But ABC did tell the nation that several Blue Hens were accused of urinating in public.
Even by Delaware standards this Blue Hen mob violence was pale. Last year, for the second year on a row, a black promoter sponsored a party for students at black colleges in the area. By 2 a.m. 800 black people were outside, many fighting. Guns were fired. Cars damaged. 300 state police responded.
Despite the fact there was no violence, no property damage other than a few dented cars and pushed over fence, officials at the University of Delaware are on a full scale hunt to bring these lawbreakers to justice.
The newspaper never posted any Facebook photos or videos in its short, one-day coverage of the black mob violence involving the black college students.
The 44 students face suspension, expulsion and even arrest.
Included in the Delaware 10 already charged was a co-ed accused of disorderly conduct and jaywalking. In Delaware, they call that “walking along roadway where sidewalks are provided.”
Her hometown paper in New Jersey dutifully reported the conduct and even printed her mug shot.
Very few people were crying “don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.” Instead, many were irritated at the newspaper — and the University — for making such a big deal out of such a small thing. Including the girl’s father in the comments section of the local Patch:
My daughter was one of 12 who got their picture taken out of 2400 students that attended this event. She was not charged with anything more than jay walking. She will be found innocent since a picture from a video can not be enough evidence to convict.
She also turned herself in when she found out about it (You failed to mention that in your stellar investigation).
BTW there is an old lady Jaywalking on Central . Go track her down. Great job reporting Nicole . Working for the Westfield Patch. What a great job after $150K of College. You must be so proud
So this search for the Holy Grail of white racial violence must be called a disappointment .
In Albany New York, reporter Carl Seiler insists that it happens all the time, only iwhite violence is often ignored. He gives as an example a white riot called “Kegs ‘n’ Eggs” from two years ago.

It happened in Philly, Monday night: A teenage girl was walking home from a football game when she was taunted, stalked, beaten, and thrown into traffic.
All at the hands of 9 teenagers. Unruly teenagers.
I know what you are thinking: Was this a case of black mob violence? People who know aren’t saying. People who are saying don’t know. A preview of a story at WND.com Black mob violence has struck again, almost killing another Philadelphia-area girl. Or has it? The police and the press won’t say if the predators are black. Neither will Joseph Parris, the girl’s father. He refuses to describe the nine or more “teens” who stalked, taunted, beat, kicked, laughed at, spit at, and threw his daughter into moving traffic — ultimately landing her in the hospital with a collapsed lung. Parris said he was “upset” that anyone would question whether his daughter is the latest victim of an epidemic of recent black mob violence, documented in over 100 cities and 500 occasions in the White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence and how the media ignore it. Including many in the Philadelphia area. The mob violence happened Monday night after a high school football game. That much we know for sure. The unidentified teenage girl was walking home from the field at Interboro High School in Prospect Park when she was “ambushed” by a race-free mob. The CBS affiliate in Philadelphia broke the story. With her identity concealed, they reported her saying: “It was scary, just horrible, just the worst feeling in the world,” she said. “He punched me in my back and then kicked me in the back, and then punched me in the back of my head. I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t move, I couldn’t talk. I was just straight crying.” The victim says as at least two of the teenagers pummeled her, the others cheered them on shouting, “come on, let’s get her.” At one point, the victim says, the gang tried to throw her under the wheels of a passing car, which swerved, narrowly missing her. Although 10 miles from Center City Philadelphia, the Interboro area — and neighboring Glenolden where the girl lives — is more than 90 percent white. It is connected to Philadelphia with commuter trains. News of the attack is attracting an unusually high number of comments to the web site of the CBS station that broke the story. People in Philadelphia are outraged at the assault, and even more upset at the CBS affiliate for only describing the predators as “teens.” They wonder why the station is concealing the identity of the assailants if that would help identify them. Others say black mob violence is common in the Philadelphia area, but the local news refuses to report it. Of the hundreds who commented on the assault, all but two said they believed the attackers were black — even if they did not have direct knowledge of it. No one contradicted it. One commenter said anyone who believes the attackers were black is “jumping to conclusions and guilty of racial hatred.” Said one of hundreds of commenters:
“To CBS “News”..and I use that term loosely: Do you see the damage you MSM have done with your PC orthdoxy? Read the comments below. Even is the attackers were some other ethnicity, all the readers believe they are Black. That is because the public has become accustomed to MSM’s attempts to cover up relevant facts such as who is committing the atrocity. So your grand PC strategy has backfired. Instead of deluding the public by whitewashing your stories and covering up important facts, you’ve succeeded in alerting folks to your duplicity and actually causing people to assume – usually correctly – that the perps are African-Americans. Congratulations.
The father took to Facebook to let people know about the violent mob that almost killed his daughter. “We think they were from Academy Park. But are not positive.” Academy Park is a high school from a nearby town that played Interboro in football the week before. The school is 67 percent black. “I’m not promoting a racial thing,” said Parris. “I just want the people who did this to be caught.” Victims of racial violence often hesitate to talk about the experience. After having become a victim once, many do not want to become victimized again by being called racist if they describe their attackers as black. The beating is the second case of racial violence within one week within a two mile area. The attack from last week, captured on video, showed three black people attacking two white students on a school bus. The CBS affiliate reported one of the boys had a “a swollen nose, three chipped teeth and other facial injuries.” Police are charging four black people in connection with the beating: Three students and bus driver who watched. Comments at the CBS web site for both stories have been disabled and removed. Meanwhile, near Richmond, officials at the Virginia State University locked the campus down for 12 hours starting Wednesday night, after black mob violence involving hundreds of students broke out. WAVY in Richmond reports “university police began getting reports of a fight on campus involving several hundred people around 6 p.m. Wednesday. Campus police were able to break up the fight and then learned of a man who had been stabbed in the leg.” Soon after, dozens of other fights broke out, and police from a nearby city were called to assist in restoring order. The lockout at this black college meant that students were required to return and stay in their dormitories. Off campus students were told to stay home.

Steve Kates hosted a great interview with Jesse Lee Peterson where I was lucky enough to sit in, after my segment just before.
When people ask me about causes and solutions, I tell them Jess Lee Peterson is the most powerful and profound speaker in the country on the topic. So give him a listen as he talks about the new Emancipation Proclamation.
Black mob violence and denial have a new poster boy: Ray Widstrand of St. Paul, Minnesota.
Earlier this year, Widstrand moved into a black neighborhood. Soon after, he took an evening stroll and, after meeting some of his new neighbors, he found himself in the hospital — the victim of a vicious beating at the hands of a large black mob. Widstrand suffered broken bones, a fractured skull and permanent brain injuries.
Widstrand said he forgives them. Even though not one of his alleged assailants is asking for forgiveness.
Widstrand says his attackers were just some kids lashing out. And he was a kid once and he did the same thing, so let’s all just get along.
This same drama played out last year in a Chicago court room. A California college girl was arrested at the airport, then released into the deepest and most dangerous ghetto in Chicago.
A black part of Chicago.
Soon after her release, she was attacked and thrown out of a seven-story window. Her family sued. During the trial, a Harvard professor testified that if a white person walks through a black neighborhood, people can reasonably expect some very unreasonable violence to be visited on that person.
The professor called it Routine Activities Theory: R.A.T.
The judge explained R.A.T. by saying the victim “was a white female in a predominantly black, poor neighborhood (and) she had a much higher risk of predatoryvictimization.”
Judge Frank Easterbrook went on: “She was lost, unable to appreciate her danger and dressed in a manner to attract attention. She is white and well-off while the local population is predominantly black and not affluent, causing her to stand out as a person unfamiliar with the environment and, thus, a potential target for crime.”
The city said R.A.T. was thinly disguised racial profiling and had no business at trial. But at the trial, R.A.T and race were everywhere – no matter how hard the city worked to keep it out. No matter how dedicated local media were to ignoring it.
Prabhjot Singh had a similar experience in September in Harlem. Singh is a doctor who lives and works there. He too was out for a stroll. He too was beaten, left with a broken jaw and missing teeth when he ran into some of his neighbors.
He too told local reporters he forgave his assailants. Though there is not one sign that any of his attackers is asking for it.
Marlin Newburn says their forgiveness is really just a mask for denial. Newburn was a prison and law enforcement psychologist for more than 30 years. He says this fake forgiveness may be placing more people in danger because it allows the media to ignore racial violence. Says Newburn:
When talking about crime victims who have been naïve or otherwise ignorant of dangerous environments, forgiveness also appears to be a knee-jerk response to not just the physical assault, but the traumatic destruction of an ideal the victim may have harbored regarding their assailants,” Newburn said.
“In the case of black mob assaults, victims often believed the supposed put-upon black race need only to be understood and seen as social victims, and a blanket acceptance of all blacks do in life is part of being a good person.
“Prior to being assaulted, many of the victims who I’ve talked with over the years had harbored a sense of nobility and even adolescent invincibility since they had convinced themselves that that their “higher value system” exempted them from social dangers to include physical harm.
After the assault, that belief is destroyed, and something has to replace it quickly for emotional stability, hence, instant forgiveness.
Newburn says some people are too eager to be nice. There is a name for that:
“I just read this victim’s comments to reporters and saw straightaway he is a classic “masochist altruist, non-psychotic”. These people have a need to suffer or “be the victim” in order to assuage feelings of low self-worth, jealousy, envy, anger and/or overall feelings of inadequacy. They have a terrible time experiencing pleasure or joy of any kind.”
Some say that attitude reflects a “blame the victim” mentality. Others say telling the truth may save the next victim.
Widstrand requires assistance with every phase of his life now. He wears a helmet to protect his fractured skull. Singh is back at work as a doctor in Harlem, his jaw wired shut.
The attacks on Widstrand and Singh are part of an epidemic of black mob violence documented in White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence and how the media ignore it.
The day after Widstrand told reporters he was forgiving his assailants, a car of at least four black people pulled up to woman talking on her iPhone on a St. Paul street. KTSP picks up the story:
Three other men got out of the vehicle and one of them pulled her by the hair to the sidewalk, pushed her to the ground, pulled her pants down and then urinated on her, the criminal complaint states. The woman reported she thought she was going to get raped. She heard one man say, “Mitch you took that white b****’s phone.”
Continuing a long tradition, neither of major local papers identified the alleged urinating assailants as black. The only local TV or radio station to do so was KTSP.
No word yet if the woman forgives her wig-wearing attackers for this public humiliation. Widstrand and Singh, however, said they plan to continue living in the neighborhoods where they were attacked, R.A.T., or no R.A.T.

Largest West Coast Gathering of Black Motorcycle Clubs Leaves 1 Dead. 12 Wounded.
AP, Washington Post and Fresno Bee call it a “multi-racial dance.”
BY COLIN FLAHERTY
The Fresno Bee called it a “dance” sponsored by a “multi-racial” motorcycle club. So did the Washington Post.
But this was no dance: This was the “official after party” for the largest gathering of black motorcycle clubs on the West Coast. A weekend collection of violence and mayhem of 5000 or more black bikers that descend on Fresno twice a year for the “Half Way Run.” So named because it is the half way spot for bikers from the Los Angeles and Oakland areas to gather and party.
Or shoot each other.
Last weekend, by the time this “dance” was over, 13 people were shot, one fatally. More than 100 police were called to subdue the “running gun battle.”
In attendance were more than 500 members of dozens of black California motorcycle clubs, including the Soul Brothers, Unknown Riders, Kings of Cali, Bad Boyz, Black Pearls, Black Sabbath, Good Tymez, Most Wanted, Buffalo Soldiers, and others. All listed at a web site called blackmotorcycleclubs.net.
“The Fresno Bee and Associated Press may think this was a “multi-racial” gathering,” said Taleeb Starkes, author of the Uncivil War, a book that confronts the criminal subculture within the Black community. “But they are just about the only ones. This incident in Fresno was just the latest example of how the press ignore, condone and even deny black mob violence.”
Here is how one of the participants described a recent Half Way Run:
“Every year we head to the middle of Cali in fresno where all the bike clubs meet up and kill it…this is our version of Black Bike Week on the west. Thousands of bikes.”
Black Bike Week in South Carolina is featured in the book White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence and how the media ignore it. The book documents how Black Biker Week has been a scene of epic mayhem and violence. Just one of the more than 500 examples of black mob violence from over 100 cities shown in the book.
Back in Fresno, a group called In Traffic TV productions made a video of last year’s festivities. The black host immediately pronounced to his “niggas” that the weekend was “ghetto fabulous.” The 13-minute program showed thousands black bikers, police helicopters, sirens, and lots of law enforcement — all set to a variety of hip hop tracks that talked about violence, using drugs, dealing drugs, killing and riding motorcycles. And above all, growing up “in the hood.” With lots of obscenities and N-bombs.
The killing from last weekend happened at just one of the weekend’s activities: The “official after party” at the Soul Brothers Motorcycle Club headquarters outside of Fresno.
The Fresno Bee claims Soul Brothers is multi-racial group because of the crossed black and white arms that comprise the group’s logo.
But anyone looking at the thousands of pictures and hours of videos that club members have posted on various sites around the internet know this is a black club. That is what the club called itself when it produced a video with club’s founder, where he talked about its roots as a black motorcycle club.
The Fresno Bee, Washington Post and Associated Press may have failed to capture the true size and nature of the event. But they did at least hint at the chaos created during the semi-annual mayhem.
Or did they? The Fresno Bee cannot make up is mind: In one paragraph of a recent news story, this gathering of black bikers is described as “peaceful.” But the next sentence says the opposite:
While the motorcyclists generally are peaceful, police usually put extra officers on duty to prevent bikers from speeding, pulling wheelies and drinking in public.
Violence has occurred frequently at the gatherings. This spring, a shooting broke out at a motel near Highway 99 and Olive Avenue where bikers were gathered and several were wounded. Several years ago, one person was killed at a dance held by bikers in southwest Fresno.
The Bee does report that neighbors say the club house is the scene of frequent and intense violence and mayhem. Including gun shots and loud noises from parties over a several year period.
American reporters may not be able — or willing – to talk about the epidemic of black mob violence so recently on display in Fresno. But a reader of a newspaper in London did not seem to have any trouble when he commented on an excellent account of the Fresno shootings in the Daily Mail: “Gangs of ‘Soul Brothers’ with guns in a warehouse at 2am on a Saturday night,’ said the commenter. “What could possibly go wrong?”
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.

An active duty combat veteran is dead, a victim of black mob violence.
The killing took place early Saturday morning, 40 miles south of Seattle near the Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Lakewood, Washington. The soldier, who has yet to be identified, had been out celebrating with two fellow soldiers for two reasons: His safe return from combat. And his imminent release from the military.
KOMO TV news picks up the story:
a group of men in a car drove by and someone inside shouted a racial comment toward the white soldiers, the Lakewood Police Department said.
“One of the soldiers yelled back something about the suspects treating combat soldiers with disrespect,” Lt. Chris Lawler said.
The vehicle turned around, and five black males got out of the car and confronted the soldiers, according to reports. As the verbal confrontation ensued, the driver of the vehicle realized the men were actually combat veterans and called his friends off.
While the men headed back to their vehicle, one of the suspects appeared to have bumped into the victim, witnesses say.
The soldiers saw their friend fall to the ground as the car sped away. The victim was bleeding profusely from a stab wound and died at the scene.
Police are searching for five black men who fled the scene in a midnight blue BMW-type sedan or VW Jetta-type car with four doors, tinted windows and stock rims, and low profile tires, said KOMO.
The main suspect was wearing a hoodie.
Police are searching for five black men who fled the scene in a midnight blue BMW-type sedan or VW Jetta-type car with four doors, tinted windows and stock rims, and low profile tires, said KOMO.
The main suspect was wearing a hoodie.
Clint Zimmerman was with the soldier when he died. “I don’t understand how anyone could do this,” Zimmerman told KOMO. “He gave his life for people to enjoy the freedoms they have and he was stabbed for no f***kin’ reason. What was it all over: Just because they were some white boys?”
The murder is less of a mystery for people from the area. That part of town is predominately black. And “off limits” for white people day and night, say many local commenters to Tacoma news sites.
One woman, who calls herself Nanamamabjm, describes a recent violent crime against her family nearby:
We had an attempted break last weekend DESPITE a very large and another moderate sized dog and my mom being home.
Black dudes in hoodies I dare to say. . . but that is the reality of things. They were black, they were wearing gray hoodies.
When my husband retires, we’re outta here.
Many of the readers of the KOMO web site, as well as readers of the Seattle Times were surprised the newspaper would report the race of the suspects. Even so, some readers wondered why the Times would refer to the crime as “racially tinged confrontation” instead of a potential hate crime.
King 5, another Seattle TV news outlet, did not include a description of the alleged assailants. Nor did it include a quote from what the alleged killers allegedly said.
This is the second “racially tinged” stabbing death in the Seattle area in less than a month. In September, a black man stabbed a college professor in the neck and torso as he “tried to defend” his companion. Local press called it unprovoked and random.
It is also the second killing from black mob violence of a member of the armed services since July. Shaquille Hargrove, a 19-year old member of the U.S. Air Force, was shot during an outbreak of black mob violence outside of a Denver night club. Another airman was wounded, but he survived.
No one has been arrested.
Residents of the Seattle and Tacoma area pride themselves on racial harmony. But black mob violence is an increasingly common part of life is this part of the state.
Ken McMahon is just one of many Seattle residents who remember the June 1 shooting death of Molly Conley:
“She was a 15-yr-old walking home from her birthday party with friends near Lake Stevens,” said McMahon. “She was attending a Catholic high school in Seattle. When I first read about it, noting where it was, I thought my god, now whites on meth are doing drive-bys. It turned out to be a black man who allegedly shot her for ‘no reason’….Except the usual one, walking while white. And in a semi-rural area!”
A video of a group of black people pummeling a visibly pregnant white woman on a Seattle bus went viral in 2010. The attack was caught on video and posted by the Seattle Times.
For all the visible violence in the Seattle area, local public officials are adamant their part of the country is safer. Just look at the statistics, they plead.
That didn’t make sense to Nihan Thai. This Seattle resident was robbed and assaulted in 2012. He soon figured out, so was everyone else in his neighborhood. Many of the victims were Asian. All of the suspects are black.
Thai talked to KING5, a local TV news station about the crime.
“I was literally ten steps away from the house. And I felt a hit on my right face and another hit on the back of my neck and on my lower back, and so as I was falling forward I felt hands grabbing my jacket and my bag,” said Thai. Two months later, not far from where Thai was attacked, another man was grabbed from behind, robbed and beaten. His name was Danny Vega, and he died.
Thai, like Vega, is Asian and openly gay. Before he died, Vega told police “he’d been attacked by three African-American males, all around 18 years of age,” said The Intelligencer. The tenth such attack in that area in two months, all near the corner of Martin Luther King Way and Othello Street.
Police released a video of three black men who are “persons of interest.”
Back to KING5:
“Thai started visiting his neighbors, they had a lot to say, and soon he realized he was doing his own crime survey. Thai knocked on 49 doors. 32 people were home. How many of them had been victims of a crime since moving to the neighborhood? All but three.”
Many victims told Thai they’d never reported the crimes to police.
“It happens to them so often that after 2 or 3 times they stopped reporting because they didn’t see any progress,” said Thai.

NEW ORLEANS — The tables were turned on three alleged, armed robbers in Bayou St. John, as the NOPD confirmed one of the victims turned a gun on his attackers. Now two people are behind bars and police are looking for a third suspect connected to the brazen crime.
“We heard four pop-pop-pop-pops,” said Mid-City resident Judy Reagan. Watching television on her couch with her partner, Reagan didn’t realize what was unfolding a few blocks from her front door.
“I thought about going out on the porch, but then I thought, if it’s actual gunshots, I’m not going to stick my head out here,” said Reagan.
The NOPD says two people were walking to a parked car in the 3100 block of Ursulines Avenue around 9:00 p.m. Thursday when they were approached by three people.
Police say the gunmen asked both victims to get on the ground, but that didn’t happen.
“His first thought was to protect his female companion, which he did by pushing her to the ground to keep her out of harm’s way and then fired a couple of warning shots,” said attorney Michael Kennedy who represents one of the victims. He says his client declined to be interviewed.
Police say after the trio were shot at, they started running towards Bayou St. John dropping a clue that would link one of the suspects to the crime.
Early Friday night, NOPD officers were spotted canvassing the area where police arrested two suspects the night before.
Police say 18-year-old Aaron Smith and 17-year-old Hakeem Carter were taken into custody in the 1000 block of Hagan Street, not far from where shots were fired.
Now they both face two counts of attempted armed robbery.
Kennedy says his client is still shaken up. “Traumatic as well as safety concerns. There’s still one person out there being sought.”
For those living in this Mid-City neighborhood, this latest robbery attempt is a reminder to watch your back.
“That close, it just gives you pause to be street smart and to look around. It doesn’t encourage me to get me own gun, but it is frightening,” said Reagan.
Police are still looking for a third suspect. He’s described an African-American male, with a tall build and thin long dreadlocks with bleached tips.
