Knockout Game Denials continue .. Baltimore. Oakland. etc.

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.
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.
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.”
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.
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.”
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.”
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.
Now the attacks spread like wildfire: The latest from Milwaukee. New Haven. Salisbury.
Is it the Knockout Game? Everyone wants to know.
In Milwaukee, call it whatever, lots of people know they have a problem with black mob violence.
A preview of an article at WND. Links below.
By itself, four black people in Milwaukee punching Tim Bessette in the face, knocking him out, breaking bones in his face, laughing and running away, does not constitute a national emergency.
Not matter how badly he was hurt. No matter how much he insists he is a victim of the Knockout Game.
It might not even be the Knockout Game — not the way the New York Times, CNN and other media define it.
To most reporters — i.e. most of the people writing about how the Knockout Game is a myth — they imagine the game is played by a set of rules: Racially undefined teenagers get together and plan to punch someone in the face.
If there is no planning, then there is no game. And never, never, never is race involved. That’s the way the suits in the news department see it.
That’s not how the Knockout Game works. Most of the time the game is spontaneous. Sometimes the victim loses a wallet or an iPhone. Sometimes not. They always laugh.
And 99 percent of the perpetrators are black. 99 percent of the victims are not. That is what people in journalism usually call a “trend.” But now call a myth.
“I could hear them as they departed joking and laughing, Bessette told the NBC News affiliate in Milwaukee. The next thing he knew he woke up lying on the ground, in a pool of blood. From his hospital bed, he watched the national news stories describe the Knockout Game as a figment of some over heated imagination.
“I sat there in total amazement.,” Bessette said. “You tell me that this pain I’ve gone through over the past two days is a myth?”
It is not a game — or a myth — to Marlin Newburn, who recently retired after 30 years as a prison psychologist and court appointed counselor. “The violence is real and based on hate,” said Newburn. “And the hate is based on race. Almost all of the black inmates I’ve dealt with over the years are raised on a diet of racial resentment and violence. But for some reason, the press either does not know it, or chooses to ignore it.”
But most people in Milwaukee are not talking to their local prison shrink. And if all they knew about racial violence in Milwaukee was what they read in the local papers, then it is easy to see how they might think black mob violence — including the Knockout Game — is a myth.
Over the last three years, Milwaukee has been a center of racial violence and media denial. It is rarely reported. Seldom acknowledged in the press, but often the topic of conversation.
Opinions are divided over which one was the worst: Was it the spontaneous violence of the state fair of 2011, where hundreds of black people beat and terrorized the crowds in and out of the fair grounds?
Or was it the annual rolling race riot and black celebration known as Juneteenth? If so, what year? Violence is a regular feature of this annual downtown party. A lot of it on video.
Some hold out for the Fourth of July. For at least three years, groups of hundreds of black people have done all sorts of bad things requiring police horses, helicopters and paddy wagons to bring it under control.
Still others say the Mayfair Mall, where hundreds of black people rampaged through the retail area, causing shop owners and shoppers to hide behind locked doors, dial 911, and cower in fear as they begged police to hurry up. That’s on video too.
And let’s not forget the random acts of racial violence in buses, street corners, shopping centers and other public places that are so popular on YouTube.
Many documented in White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore it.
The title of the book comes from Milwaukee, Fourth of July, 2011: 50 to 100 black people rampaged through a local convenience store, looting candy and groceries. On video.
They went to a nearby park where they met a few white kids and beat them up, badly. At one point, a black woman was standing over a white woman. She motioned to her accomplices to look down at the ground. “White girl bleed a lot,” she said, laughing.
“They were having such a good time,” said one of the victims, referring to the laughing and joking during violence. Sound familiar?
“The prison inmates I met over the years took great delight in remembering their violent experiences,” Newburn said. “It was never about the money. It was never some kind of scene from Les Miserables where desperate people are doing desperate things, no matter how many reporters thing differently.”
The day after the White Girl Bleed a Lot attack, a few of the victims went to the police station to ask if their attackers were in jail. Police told them there was no report on their assault. It never happened.
A few days and a few calls to talk radio later, the police chief and the mayor held a press conference, telling everyone how sorry they were for not taking the crime more seriously. They both however, denied race had anything to do with it.
This attack came just a few weeks after the black holiday celebration in Milwaukee known at Juneteenth. News accounts are, at best, sketchy. But one year later, after another massive disturbance where 54 people were arrested as a helicopter kept tabs, witnesses recounted their experiences from 2011.
My girlfriend and I walked up to Juneteenth last year from Riverwest; we got there right at the end. Anyways, on our walk back home, a half a dozen squad cars rushed past us and one squad car stopped. The officers were wearing full riot gear and said something to the likes of ‘What the hell are you (white) people doing in this neighborhood? Get the out **** of here, don’t you know there is a riot going on a block away?
There, hundreds of black people beat up white people, damaged their cars, hurled racial epithets, and caused chaos inside and outside the gates of the State Fair. Much of the panic and terror captured on 911 calls that were later released to the media.
Groups of black people ran down the midway, pushing and beating people, stealing from vendors. It was complete chaos for two hours. Then it continued outside, where state police directed traffic while a race riot raged yards away.
“They were attacking everybody for no reason whatsoever. It was 100% racial,” claimed Eric, an Iraq war veteran from St. Francis who says young people beat on his car.
“I had a black couple on my right side, and these black kids were running in between all the cars, and they were pounding on my doors and trying to open up doors on my car, and they didn’t do one thing to this black couple that was in this car next to us. They just kept walking right past their car. They were looking in everybody’s windshield as they were running by, seeing who was white and who was black. Guarantee it.”
Eric, a war veteran, said that the scene he saw Thursday outside State Fair compares to what he saw in combat.
“That rated right up there with it. When I saw the amount of kids coming down the road, all I kept thinking was, ‘There’s not enough cops to handle this.’ There’s no way. It would have taken the National Guard to control the number of kids that were coming off the road. They were knocking people off their motorcycles.”
Outside of Milwaukee, people are always surprised when I ask if they knew that Milwaukee was a center of racial violence and media denial. Few know.
But in Milwaukee, more and more people do. And despite a virtual media blackout on most of the cases of black mob violence, some people speak out. One is “Big Mike” Hagler, a video blogger who had just about all he can take from regular and frequent and intense black mob violence.
“Every time there is an event going on, people want to pull out guns and go crazy,” said Hagler said. “Everything is getting cancelled: State fairs. Summerfest.”
“All people want to do is fight. Y’all acting like animals. And it is crazy to say it is our own people acting that way.
It’s crazy when you go to an event and there be a majority white people there. As soon as black people come around that get to moving out of the way. They already know what is going to happen.
It’s like when you want to go to Juneteenth. I ain’t going to go to Juneteenth because people already know what is going to happen. People are going to be shooting and fighting.”
Milwaukee lost one of its more powerful truth tellers last year when talk show host James Harris took his show to Phoenix. Right after the White Girl Bleed a Lot beat down, Harris told a Sunday news television audience the facts of life:
“This was not a color-blind crime. We have this epidemic of black teenage mob violence happening all over the country.”
“It is from a perfect storm of entitlements, political correctness, and white guilt where people are afraid to identify who are doing the crimes and why they are doing it.
“(The Mayor and Police Chief) were more worried about being accused of racial profiling that the fact that black mobs were roaming down the streets hurting people.”
This was a PC response because it was black mob violence. You guys (fellow panelists) are in denial…. We have a real problem. A real sickness in the (black) community, that until we address it, it will continue to explode.
Milwaukee and other major cities in this country are facing a crisis of mob violence this summer. And if the powers that be refuse to identify the problem, how can they expect to combat it?
Two years later, Tim Bessette is asking the same question. And getting the same answer.

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. October 19, 2013Rochester, NY.Two men shot near Rochester nightclub
Two Rochester men were shot and wounded early Saturday outside a Rochester nightclub on Central Avenue. The shootings occurred about 2:05 a.m., reported Lt. Ron Malley of the Rochester Police Department. Malley said officers responded to the area around Club Network at 410 Central Ave. for a report of a large fight with shots fired.

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

police were dispatched to Lonnie’s Lounge at 713 E. Genesee near South Park to investigate a report of a “large fight with shots fired.” The club is located a block away from the Saginaw Police Department.
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!!

The Society of Professional Journalists and Black Mob Violence: Let Them Come to Indianapolis.
Links below. Preview of an article for Front Page magazine.
Strange that the Society of Professional Journalists should wonder if its members write enough about race.
The SPJ is already one of the most race-conscious groups in America. And that is easy to see in every aspect of SPJ’s operations, including its magazine, web site, blogs, meetings, training, conventions and membership.
But race and crime? Not so much.
Abe Aamidor is wondering if that is a good idea. Aamidor wrote a thumb sucker for SPJ’s Quill magazine called “When Race is Relevant.” It does not ask about the relationship between race and crime. Or the different crime rates among races. The numbers are overwhelming and well known already. Even to the most obstinate reporter.
Aamidor asks a different question: How much should we let people know about it? Answer: not much.
Aamidor ignores how often SPJ members already report about race. How every day, we read about the black caucuses, black colleges, black churches, black labor unions, black businesses, black neighborhoods, black leaders, black victimization at the hands of supremacy, and on and on and on.
Many of these stories are written by members of the SPJ and the National Association of Black Journalists.
But when it comes to reporting on black crime, or black mob violence, these same reporters suddenly turn color blind.
What’s a reporter to do? asked Aamidor. Aside from following a link in the main photo of his article which connects to a web site of the “Party for Socialism and Liberation,” here’s the only answer Aamidor can muster: “Working journalists may need to look no further than their own media outlet’s policies, which likely will offer guidance on how to report on race and crime.”
More of the same.
Fair enough. Let’s check Aamidor’s former paper, The Indianapolis Star, where he toiled for 22 years.The Star’s policy toward reporting race and crime can be summed up in one word: Don’t.
One hour after after I read Aamidor’s piece, I came across a Tweet about one of the more popular euphemisms for black mob violence: Large fights. This one in Indianapolis, involving 80 people with baseball bats and other weapons. Everyone was black.
The next day, the Indy Star dutifully reported some of the details of the riot. Everything except the race. The paper also dutifully reported that this kind of large scale violence had happened twice before in the last year. And dutifully gave some details. Except the race.
Dutifully ignoring the frequency and intensity of black mob violence in Indianapolis.
In the last three years, there have been dozens of episodes of racial violence in this once bucolic slice of middle America. Many documented in White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence and how the media ignore it.
Much of it on video.
But because the participants are not carrying signs with racist slogans, or
promoting violent black revolution as some did during a recent public meeting in Indianapolis, many reporters say there is no evidence of racial violence in Indianapolis. Or anywhere else.
No matter how many videos there are. No matter how far out of proportion black mob violence is. If they do not report it, it does not exist. And if it does not exist, how can they report it?
Every discussion of racial violence in Indianapolis must begin with the Indiana Black Expo. Over the last ten years, this annual, week long celebration of racial consciousness has been the site of shootings, assaults, property destruction, violence against police, and large scale mayhem that can only be called riots.
It got so bad even the Indy Star could no longer ignore it:
“Although none of the shootings or fights was directly connected to Summer Celebration events or venues, the annual celebration of black culture that attracts more than 200,000 people Downtown during its 11-day run has been inescapably tied to the violence.”
Much of the violence is on video. You can find a more complete record of the violence at the Black Expo here.
At this year’s Expo in August, hundreds of police smothered the downtown in anticipation of more black mob violence. Especially since the Expo occurred in the week following the acquittal of George Zimmerman.
When it did not occur, some accused the police of racial profiling. Others said police prepared for and prevented a predictable event. They wondered why an even larger event — the Indy 500 — required only a fraction of the police. And had fewer incidents.
Black mob violence is hardly limited to the Black Expo.
Downtown Indianapolis has been the site of dozens of cases of large-scale black mob violence over the last three years. The Indy Star reports these perpetrators as “unruly teens,” or “unruly youths” or any number of other euphemisms. But the videos tell the story.
The mobs are black.
Downtown Indy is supposed to be a gleaming center of commerce and government and tourism.
Instead, downtown on weekends today often resembles an armed camp with police officers, barricades, helicopters, and an increasing number of empty storefronts from merchants who no longer wish to tolerate the black mob violence that occurs with regular and violent intensity.
Earlier this year, after constructing a Maginot Line-like wall around the downtown, black people just went to one of the suburban malls and wreaked havoc there.
That is also on video.
By July 4 of this year, even the Indy Star knew there was a problem downtown. Here’s how they described it: “a city core overrun by unsupervised teenagers who fight each other and occasionally fire weapons.”
On July 4, despite dogs and helicopters and more than 100 police officers on the street, it happened again. But if you wanted to get the real flavor of the violence from the Indy Star, skip the reporting and go directly to the comments:
James Parson posted on the IndyStar.com:
“I was downtown with my family last night, I saw the gangs roaming the streets. I will not be coming downtown ever again,nor will my family. The insults that were thrown at my family by the black gangsters were out of line. One called my wife a fat whore. Glad to se that Ballard is doing something about these killers in training. I will not be back downtown.If you value your life you will not come either.The gangs own the streets in our city.”
Mark Magers chimed in:
“I agree James! I was downtown for the fireworks with friends and the gangs were ominous and ugly. What is going on downtown? We used to take pride in presenting a safe and fun filled experience.”downtown. I too will not be back and next year will go to the Geist “blast on the bridge”. A better show and nicer group of people!”
The national headquarters of the Society of Professional Journalists is four miles from the epicenter of this racial violence. But somehow, racial violence as a regular feature of the largest black expo in America did make it into this Aamidor’s discussion.
He did however, talk about how television news directors in Pittsburgh met last year with black activists to form an agreement as to how to reduce the coverage of black crime in that city. Aamidor reports the head of Black Empowerment Project said observing crime is bad for white and black people:
“If the only information about black people is what’s in the news, there’s a reason why the unemployment rate is astronomic and why we have all these negative issues — because the imaging of black people is extremely negative,” said Black Political Empowerment Project president Tim Stevens.
“Not only does it affect the viewpoint of white people with their thoughts on black people, I say it affects the psychology of black people.”
No news whether local farmers are complaining about the weather reports.
It’s time for some tough love in this town. There is a criminal element in this town that consists primarily of young black men.
The recent attacks on the Monon; the perpetrators were young black men. The “Pop It Off Boys” gang; young black men.
The most high ridden crime areas of the city, who are the bad guys? Say it with me, they are usually young black men.
This may be painful, but the truth hurts. … There is also something even more wrong when people will read this column and get mad at me and call me a “sellout” or an “Uncle Tom” because I was the guy who was brave enough to tell truth.
Indianapolis, you have a problem. Your problem is young, black men who are out of control. It’s time to step up and start making examples out of people.
Decent citizens black and white should not have to live in fear of urban terrorists.
The elderly man who marched for civil rights in the 1950s and 60s should not have to live in fear because some Robin Hoodlum doesn’t know how to honor the social contract.
Young people who are trying to do the right thing, shouldn’t have to live in fear because a bunch of cast extras from a Spike Lee film don’t know how to behave.
And I shouldn’t have to write blog posts like this because young black men act like social predators and terrorize the very neighborhoods they live in.
Not coming soon to your local chapter of the apologists at the Society of Professional Journalists.
Post Script: The Society of Professional Journalists is headquartered in Indianapolis. Of the 35 people staffers and members of the board or directors, none is black.
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.
The quiet epidemic of black mob violence continues across middle America. The latest examples come from Sandusky, Ohio; Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; and Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
The presence of large-scale black mob violence in Sandusky may be a surprise to some outsiders who know used to know this as a quite town on Lake Erie and home to one of the largest collection of roller coasters in the world. In 2011, Forbes magazine rated Sandusky as the No. 1 Best Place to Live Cheaply in the United States — partly because of its low crime rate.
Forbes says Sandusky “is a city with million-dollar water views and a whole lot of $100,000 houses.” And great schools too.
And now it has its own episode of black mob violence — on video.
Sandusky police arrested 13 black people and are seeking six more in connection with a a bloody encounter over the weekend.
The violence is captured in a split screen view on two video cameras. The Sandusy Register provides the play by play for the silent movie:
The video shows more than a dozen people — police and witnesses later identified them as Detroit natives — filing into two apartments on the same floor. Within minutes, at least 20 Sandusky men and teenagers then rushed a staircase and began exchanging words with the Detroit group in a hallway.
The video shows the suspects throwing glass bottles and various items at each other, with some of the assailants allegedly carrying knives, frying pans, sticks and even a crowbar. One Detroit man used a BB gun to shoot at two boys, who were both struck in the torso.
Some of the suspects appeared to be holding their frenzied friends at bay until one Sandusky man punched the other group’s apparent leader, police said. The confrontation then erupted into an all-out brawl. At one point, at least five of the Detroit men cornered a Sandusky boy in a doorway, where they proceeded to kick and punch him.
So far, this is just one of more than 500 episodes of black mob violence in more than 100 cities — many on video — documented in White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence and how the media ignore it.
In the upcoming edition from WND Books, readers can scan a QR code and see videos of riots as they read about them in the book.
But this riot has a twist: Police are going after the culprits. Said the Register in an editorial:
“No one was seriously hurt, thankfully,” SPD chief of detectives Sgt. Dana Newell told the Register. “But the possibility of innocent people getting injured during something like this, we’re not going to tolerate it. We’re going to aggressively pursue any situation like this.”
That attitude is exactly what residents want from their police department, in our opinion.
That does not always happen. In fact, large scale arrests in cases of large scale black mob violence are the exception. Not the rule.
As people in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania found out Wednesday after black mob violence involving more than 100 people.
The violence was centered around Harrisburg High School — an institution with a history of violent behavior from students. And even racial taunting from athletes.
During a basketball game last year, an opposing team walked off the court without shaking hands because the coach and players accused the “African American” members of the Harrisburg squad with using racial slurs during the game.
This latest episode of violence occurred Wednesday. More than 100 black people were fighting and damaging at least five cars during an after school riot. The Patriot News picks up the action:
“It was like a mob coming down the hill,” Abraham David said. Sitting in his vehicle, David said he heard at least four gunshots.
Jose Reyes, another Magnolia Gardens apartments resident, said he heard three gunshots, though he didn’t see a shooter. At least 50 to 100 students were at the fight — some were on top of vehicles. He pointed to a line of cars, some with dents on their roofs.
At least one person was taking video of the fight, Reyes said.
Reyes also reported the students breaking at least one car window.
One student told Heavy.com that the violence started with two girls fighting, then four girls, then pandemonium and violence to people and property. “Then a BB gun was shot and everyone took flight,” said one eyewitness.
At least one reader of the Harrisburg Patriot said that was just the beginning of the violence:
Might be interested to know..that some of those same students probably were part of the group of some 150+ individuals that terrorized each other on the streets of Bellevue Park….coming down Chestnut..onto Bellevue Rd…and Market Street. Neighbors trying to subdue the students were not successful as heads were smashed on sidewalks, clothes were strewn on yards….and Harrisburg police never came and Principal Spells said it was not in his jurisdiction.
Curiously, both the ABC and CBS affiliates in Harrisburg sent out several tweets promising viewers they were going to present video of the mob violence on the air.
“CBS21 has video of massive student fight near HBG High from yesterday,” Tweeted Chris Papst soon after the violence. “Sounds like shots fired, but police say no.”
So said his competitor at ABC, Dan Kerrigan:
“We obtained video of the chaos following a fight near HBG HS. The street was mobbed with students. You can also hear loud pops. At 11.”
But the day after the broadcast, neither station had posted the video to accompany their stories. At least one viewer noticed: “Where’s the news video from last night’s broadcast??”
No answer.
In contrast to Sandusky, there were no arrests.
In Sheboygan, Wisconsin, police arrived Wednesday evening at a park on the city’s South Side and found a mob of at least black 15 people fighting. Two women were arrested and the park was closed. The local paper closed comments for the incident.
And here’s a bonus case of black on white crime in Central Park: A black man screaming “I hate white people” attacked three people Wednesday in the popular Manhattan destination. The Gothamist picked it up:
According to witness Joey Boots, the African-American suspect attacked a white man around 2:30 p.m. “He bloodied him up pretty good,” Boots said. When two others came to aide the victim, the suspect allegedly assaulted them as well, and started shouting, “I hate white people.”
In 2011, Sandusky was ranked No. 1 by Forbes.com as the “Best Place to Live Cheaply” in the United States.[9] The city has a median family income of $64,000.[9]
Sandusky is home to the Cedar Fair Entertainment Company and its flagship amusement park, Cedar Point. Cedar Point has one of the largest collections of roller coasters in the world. SDRG Video – Harrisburg eyewitnesses:
