Preview of an article at FrontPage magazine.
Tim Oberlander says he wants to be able to live in a city that does good things for good people.
So what’s wrong with that?
Everything.
Oberlander is a news editor at KGW TV in Portland. His city is under attack from black mob violence centered on and around Martin Luther King Boulevard. This mob has been attacking bike riders, housewives, students, you name it. These attacks are part of a long — but quiet — history of racial violence in a city that prides itself on racial tolerance and harmony.
But Tim does not want to let us know that.
Tim and his station are raising money to fix the teeth of a recent victim of black mob violence. “I want to live in a city where people do good things for other people,” Tim said. “Now we’ve raised money for Andy’s teeth, I can say that we live in a city that does good things for good people.”
Tim might be a good person. But he is a bad and dangerous and unreliable reporter. Here is what Tim’s station, KGW, had to say about a few recent attacks:
“Police were warning bicyclists in Northeast Portland to be on the lookout after two men were injured during separate attacks along Northeast Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.”
Andy Sweeney is the beneficiary of Tim’s editorial largesse. He was riding home from the grocery store when a “group of teens” threw a traffic cone at him. Knocking him off his bike, leaving him with a concussion and two shattered front teeth in what used to be a winning smile.
“It’s crazy,” Sweeney told KGW. “I don’t really understand their motivation or what they were going for.”
Lots of readers figured it out, even if the reporters were determined to ignore it:
“Great job ‘whitewashing’ the story,” said David Klassix on the station’s comments section, “and falling to mention the attackers were black.”
Said another, Chloe Ru
“Hey KGW. I will help you do something called REPORTING THE FACTS instead of hiding the truth,” said Ru. Another victim said “her attackers were a group of [AFRICAN AMERICAN aka BLACK] teenage boys and she suspects they didn’t stop with her.”
“Anyone with any information about a roaming pack of AFRICAN AMERICAN aka BLACK teenage thugs beating anyone else, please call…..Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. They care just as much as KGW does about the community’s safety.”
The paper did not mention it. But Sweeney described his attackers on Twitter: “Black kids in hoodies.”
After the sanitized version of the bike attacks became public, other victims of black mob violence in that area stepped forward as well, one at Reddit.com in response to Sweeney’s Tweet:
“Same thing happened to me once except it was a rocks being thrown, and thankfully my teeth are intact. The best you can do is just avoid being around any collection of young black males. It isn’t being racist it’s just being practical.”
Many of the attacks are centered around Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. Maybe local media thinks everyone already knows this is a black part of town. For the benefit of the out of towners, it is.
Some readers provided a link to the Chris Rock comedy bit:
“You know what’s sad? Martin Luther King stood for non violence,” said Rock. “And I don’t care where you are in America, if you’re on Martin Luther King Boulevard, there’s some violence going down.
It ain’t the safest place to be. You can’t call nobody and tell them you are lost on MLK.” (If you do, will say) RUN! RUN! RUN!.
Sad. Sad. Sad.
One of the recent victims, middle aged woman, wound up in the emergency room. The other passed around a flier, warning neighbors to be on the lookout. Said KGW:
“I heard some noise across the street and apparently one of the guy that was trying to vandalize the car came across the street,” said Amy Wilson. “(He) hit me very, very hard. (He) knocked me out cold. I fell back and hit my head on the sidewalk.”
She suffered a concussion and needed 12 stitches to close the wound on the back of her head.
Wilson said her attackers were a group of teenage boys and she suspects they didn’t stop with her. “I’m almost convinced that it’s the same group that we’ve talked about that are going against cyclists,” she said.
Then another victim came forward at the Oregon Live web site:
It was at least the second time in less than a week that a group of teenagers had assaulted a bicyclist along MLK.
Last Tuesday night, Bill Lynch, 64, had just crossed MLK as he pedaled home from a garden party when someone in a group of “three to five young people” knocked him off his bicycle on the Northeast Going Street Neighborhood Greenway.
“They were walking down the middle of the street like they owned it,” Lynch said. “I don’t know what hit me. A strong fist? Something in someone hand? It hurt.”
Lynch said he was riding past the group and the blow “came out of nowhere.”
“When I filed a police report the officer said similar nighttime incidents had occurred in the neighborhood recently,” Lynch writes in a flyer that he posted in his neighborhood to encourage people to be more vigilant. “I learned there was another attack on Aug. 19. In a couple of cases, the bicyclists were beaten and had their bikes stolen.
And another, Chris Freeman, who wrote:
I was also attacked by a group of about five kids on bikes at NE 7th and Stanton at about 11pm on Aug 17. One of them jumped off his bike and tried to push me over. Luckily I didn’t lose my balance after being pushed and was able to get away.
Still another:
Bummer man. I was riding near SEI in North Portland a few years ago with my 3 year old daughter in a Burley behind me when 5 dudes (yes, they had dark skin) jumped our and threw rocks at us. Amazingly, considering how close they were and how many there were they completely missed and I hightailed it out of there, just feeling really sad about humanity.
Some were willing to point out the obvious: “There’s a lot of black-on-white animosity in NE and N Portland. Especially towards white bicyclists.”
All the suspects in all of these attacks are black.
But others in Portland, like Tim, are eager to say they live in a city without racial tension — or violence. Several commenters at the Reddit.com news site say white people do it all the time too.
“But there are dumbass white kids who dress the same that are capable of doing stupid shit like this, too. The kids in this instance didn’t necessarily have to be black, but it is what it is.
Dumbassedness knows no racial bounds.”
But none of these people supplied police reports, links, pictures or even anecdotes of roving bands of caucasian youth creating violence against black people — or anyone else.
Others in Portland grudgingly admit that violence is real. But they plead guilty with an explanation: Said someone at Reddit.com identified as Kounterculture:
“I think that a lot of it has to do with the fact that in the african-american community bicycling isn’t seen as a viable alternative to the automobile. It isn’t mostly racial animosity, although I’m sure some of that goes on.”
Black mob violence against bicyclists and others has been a regular — and unreported –feature of life in Portland since at least 2007. Bike Portland reported six years ago several cases of black mob violence against bikers.
The web site mentioned the race of the attackers, largely to dismiss racial violence as having anything to do with it:
I don’t think these attacks are solely about race, but I also don’t think the conversation is real and honest if we don’t mention it.
And I think any mention of race must also include the realities of gentrification in Northeast Portland. I think there remains resentment in the black community about gentrification…but whether that has to do with bikes and whites is hard to say.
Are bikes somehow symbolic of whites and gentrification to the eyes black community? I’m not sure, but it’s a question I’d like to delve deeper into. It’s certainly obvious that Portland’s cycling population could be more diverse.
For those who require some help with translation, here it is: Black mobs attack bike riders in Portland because they are not diverse enough.
More than a dozen examples of black mob violence in Portland are documented in White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence and how the media ignore it. Many of these cases are on video.
The book features QR codes that readers can scan with their smart phones to watch the violence on their smart phones as they read about it. Some recent cases:
Last year, 10 to 15 hoodie wearing black people invaded Nordstrom, stole clothing and raced out of the store. On video.
The locals were far from upset. Said one man who called himself the Crazed Sex Poodle to a local news site:
“I am actually sort of hoping that it happens more, it seems like a trend worth encouraging. Giant corporations like Nordstrom and Chevron steal everyday, taking back is something worth fostering.”
A few days before that, a mob of 20 black people chased a white couple into a convenience store. The local papers described the ensuing assault and robbery as a “fight.” The mob left when one of the employees sprayed them with “bear spray.”
A few days before that: “A large group of kids stormed” into a convenience store and stole everything they could carry. They came back later to threaten the clerk. On video.
A few months after that, a bigger crowd attacked an Albertson’s grocery store, following the same play book: Theft, destruction, intimidation. And no arrests. Despite the video.
KPTV – FOX 12 Still, people seemed surprised when in June, a group of 150 black people — described by the newspapers as drunken teenagers — assaulted several people in a Portland park, robbing at least one of them. The newspaper — and the TV broadcast — may have shied away from describing the attackers, but the internet site of a local TV station was a little more revealing: “Both fights involved groups of black teenagers randomly attacking people in the park. The following night, a group of 20 to 30 black people, came upon three people on a tennis courts at the same park: “Some of the teens began throwing bottles onto the court and calling out to them. They said the teens then began fighting with them.” In January of this year, a 14-year old white girl was beat down by three black women while about a dozen other black people took videos, shouted racial epithets, and encouraged the assault. Four people were arrested, including a mother of two of the assailants. The mother was convicted of giving police false information while trying to hide her daughters. Taleeb Starkes describes many examples of black on white crime in his book: The Uncivil War.
“Portland is one of the most liberal cities in the country,” said Starkes. “They are quite proud of that. But this same liberalism is causing them to ignore, condone and excuse black on white crime and black mob violence. People who commit these horrific acts of violence are one thing. But people who condone them by ignoring them or refusing to tell the truth about them only encourage more them to occur. Those folks are sicker than the criminals.”

Black mob violence is back in Minneapolis. Some say it never stopped.
If you depend on the local newspaper for information, you might think it never started.
Minneapolis police recently issued a “crime alert” for the downtown area following a rash of mob robberies and assaults. According to City Paper:
“What we’re seeing in this pattern is victims walking downtown by themselves on a sidewalk outside, and they’re approached by a group of three to five African American males,” MPD spokeswoman Cyndi Barrington told City Pages. “The average age range of the [suspects] is late teens to early 20s. Victims are punched and pushed to the ground, and their phones and wallets are taken.”
This appears to be a change in policy for police to identify the members of the mobs by race. Last year, a slightly indignant spokesman for the police department told WND that race had nothing to do more than 20 episodes of black mob violence in downtown Minneapolis.
“We don’t keep track of arrestees by race”, said police spokesman William Palmer. “And frankly, no, it doesn’t matter. We arrest and prepare criminal cases for consideration of prosecution for those people who choose to break the law. Race has nothing to do with it.”
Anyone who listens to police scanner traffic in Minneapolis and other places knows this: Race has at least something to do with it. That is usually the first way dispatchers describe suspects to officers on the way to a crime scene.
Details of the latest robberies and assaults are sketchy. Many go unreported. As William Davis found out in June.
Davis is the 30-year old producer of the aggressively hip and liberal radio program called Morning Grind. His station bills itself as “The Progressive Voice of Minnesota.” In the several years of racial violence downtown, the station has aggressively ignored the black mob mayhem.
Davis told City Pages he was sitting outside in a downtown alley after celebrating his birthday in June when a group of black people robbed and beat him. His girlfriend chased them. They robbed and beat her too.
When the police showed up, Davis got quite indignant when they did not take his crime report. Davis said the police told him that getting beat up was his fault because he should not have been down there to begin with.
A local bouncer who witnessed the exchange between Davis and the police told City Pages the police called Davis a “pussy,” and refused to follow the predators when the bouncer pointed them out.
Several victims of recent black mob violence echo Davis’s claim. They say they did not report their experience to the police because they did not believe the police would — or could — do anything about it.
Said one commentator to the CBS Minnesota affiliate’s story on the crime alert:
I think they just might the same four been mugging since JULY OF LAST YEAR (2012). I just didn’t bother reporting it because my insurance paid for that loss (wallet, wrist watch, and cell phone), then one of them came back to check my pockets for cigarettes, (I didn’t have any, but he asked).
Said another at the same site:
As if the MPD cares one bit about muggings. I got mugged and they accused ME of committing crimes and even refused to file a police report for my stolen phone. Jerks.
Said another:
This is the same type of thing that happened to me Downtown, about 1.5 years ago. A group of 4 to 5 “kids” in their late teens to early twenties, mugged me of my phone and a little cash – just off of Nicollet Ave (intersection of Spruce Place and West Grant St). They were angry that all I had was 75 cents, so they proceed to make me stick my hands up in the air, search me for more cash, all the while spewing lines of intimidation. Thankfully I wasn’t physically attacked, but as they walked away they left me with these “wonderful” words to digest, “It’s a good thing you cooperated, so that we didn’t have to shoot anybody tonight.”
And another:
I watched a group of “minority” gentlemen stomp a white guy over what I do not know over near Como Ave. I mean stomp. I heard laughing and cheers from some fellow ethnic folk walking towards the Fair. This was around 9:15pm on opening day. By time we got across street and hollering they dispersed. The guy was okay but had the stuffing beat out of him….No a word in the press
An unusual number of people on the Minneapolis message boards were offended by any mention of race in the news stories or in the reader comments. This is one of dozens.
Wow what a bunch of racist comments. You people have serious problems. I hope none of you have children.
The Star-Tribune has yet to run a story on the police alert identifying the suspects in the recent robberies and assaults as “African American.’ After last year’s wave of racial violence downtown, Star-Tribune reporter Matt McKinney said the violence and mayhem were “random” and “no other real pattern emerges” and the “motivation for the attacks remains unclear.”
Some reporters may have a hard time figuring it out. But more and more people in Minneapolis are realizing their downtown is caught up in a wave of racial violence, featuring groups of black people — big and small, men and women, young and not so young — marauding through the downtown; beating, hurting, destroying and stealing. Sometimes right in front of police.
Some of it on YouTube. With lots of witnesses 15 to 20 times in 2011. And more than that in 2012. And 2013 is not far behind.
A headline from the Star Tribune tells part of the story, but conceals the rest: “Flash mob actions worry Minnesota police.” McKinney fills in some of the details about one of the incidents from March 2012:
“We were just biking, the three of us, having some laughs and enjoying the night,” said the cyclist, who didn’t want his name used out of fear for his safety. It was 7:45 p.m. and the street was crowded with people enjoying the unusually warm evening, he said.
“Suddenly “some kid” ran up to the man’s friend and punched him in the face, breaking his jaw. Another eight to 10 youths surrounded the cyclists, yelling and trying to provoke a fight.
“Two police officers had been watching seven youths at a bus stop when they saw them “suddenly surge” toward the cyclists.
“As the officers gave chase, the group fled with one victim’s bike. They ran through the seating area at Oceanaire’s patio, picking objects off the tables to throw at one of the bicyclists running after them.
Eventually four people were arrested, all black.
The bikers got hurt pretty bad, but they got off easy compared to the St. Patrick’s Day 2012 mauling 20 black people inflicted on a Minneapolis graphic artist named Pieter. He suffered serious brain injuries and now has no short-term memory. A local bank has turned videos of the crime over to the police. He is afraid to use his last name
An hour before he was beat and kicked into the Intensive Care Unit, 20 black people assaulted an out-of-town couple at the exact same intersection. The Star-Tribune may be squeamish about reporting the race of the criminals, but City Pages is not:
“Melissa screamed as three separate youths came at Kirk, throwing punches. Kirk says he was able to dodge the blows. He remembers one of the assailants smiling while he threw punches, “like it was fun.” As people on the street started to take notice of the attack, the mob dispersed, leaving Kirk one-on-one with a man he says was over 6 feet tall.
“I dodged several of his punches before he ran off,” Kirk said, adding that he himself didn’t punch anyone. “I believe that if it wasn’t for my wife’s screaming I would have been seriously injured.” Thankfully, he ended up with nothing more than a swollen neck. Melissa, a 33-year-old school teacher, was pushed, and one of the assailants burned her hand with a cigarette, she says.
“After the mob dispersed, Kirk and Melissa made their way back to the Marquette. There, they talked to a police officer about the incident.
Melissa told her story to City Pages in what turned out to me half news. Half prophecy: “The “cop wasn’t that interested in taking a report, since we didn’t have descriptions — just African-American…[I] wonder how many people have been attacked, since our story isn’t even part of the stats.”
Meanwhile, across the river in St. Paul, also a site of frequent and intense black mob violence, groups of black people have taken to beating and robbing students at the University of St. Thomas.
Federal law requires colleges to report crimes against students in the so-called Cleary reports. Colleges are required to include descriptions of the attackers. And the University of St. Thomas did so for this latest case.
That set the PC alarm bell ringing. Said the school in press release: “The University of St. Thomas believes that descriptors alone are not a valid reason to profile or cast suspicion on any individual. They are included here because they may reasonably assist in identifying the perpetrator of this incident.”
