That sort of cowardice is what made America great, Jim, good work... An alert reader

Black Gangs Beat Whites as Police Watch
News/Current Events News Source: Seattle TV Stations Published: 2/28/01 Posted on
02/28/2001 07:51:26 PST by frankm
For about two hours at the end of Fat Tuesday, gangs of blacks randomly assaulted and
robbed white partygoers in Seattle's Pioneer Square while police stood back and watched
the action on TV. White men and women were slugged from behind,thrown to the ground,
stomped, and had their wallets and purses stolen. Any whites who objected to the whites
being beaten, was jumped and stomped by the gang of blacks.
More than forty people were taken to the Harborview Hospital, sixteen are still
hospitalized, mostly for minor injuries, but two are still in very critical condition
with severe head injuries. At least thirty others were treated at other hospitals
The random beatings went on from about 11:30 until shortly before 2:00 AM, when the
police, who had stood around in battle gear a couple of blocks away, finally moved in
with their armored vehicles and tear gas. Police spokesmen said they did not want to move
in earlier as it would have put police officers at risk.
After showing live the severe beating and robbing of one thin young white woman by a mob
of black savages, the local TV station decided to stop their live filming. Too graphic,
they said. Despite the obvious racial nature of the beatings taking place, TV commentators
made no mention of race, nor do the morning Seattle papers.

and every black "gangsta" in seattle is watching those films today, listening to the tales
of those who participated, and understanding how much they will be allowed to beat and rob
decent white folks without fear of retaliation...

I saw a bit of film on the "riot" this morning, locally. There were blacks beating up
whites; but, I also saw what looked like a Pacific Islander getting beaten on, and then
attacking, a black man. There were also fights breaking out between women.
What got me was that this started at midnight, when the bars closed; and the report said
that the police did not intervene until 1:30 am. So what, they just stood there for an
hour and a half watching?
Another shining moment for Mayor Paul Schell and the Seattle PD.

Forget calling 911. This is a situation where the police were there watching it, and not
serving and protecting innocent civilians being beaten.
If one of the whites had pulled a gun on the thugs, who'd the police have arrested when
they finally moved in?

These are the same policemen who are lauded for risking their own lives in the service of
others. And let me guess: The Democrats in Seattle forbid citizens the right to defend
themselves from injury while waiting for the brave, self-sacrificing police to finally
arrive once it's safe to do so. And if they do arrive and slap some goons around for being
uncivilized, then the ACLU and DNC ooze out of the woodwork to decry civil rights
violations and police brutality directed against special classes of people.

We in Seattle are getting exactly what we voted for. The Chief of Police was ordered by
the flaming liberal mayor to stay out of it (until it was WAY too late). BTW, the most
severe head injury was a drunk who jumped off an overpass.

But if the police had moved in and done anything, they would have been accused of "racial
profiling". If any blacks had been shot by police, the officers probably would have been
put on trial ~ usually twice, or how many times it took to reach the "correct" verdict.

The following article was published today on LewRockwell.com:
Armed Bureaucrats Act Like Cowards by Steven Greenhut
An American nuclear submarine, giving military donors what some commentators call a
taxpayer-funded carnival ride, slams into a Japanese fishing boat during a high-thrust
"training exercise" meant to impress the civilians rather than train anybody for anything.
As the Japanese crew and passengers struggle for life, the U.S. Navy crew stands and
watches from the top of the sub without doing anything.
The seas were too choppy, they said, although Japanese fishermen tell reporters that the
seas weren’t even choppy enough to send water into their flimsy lifeboats.
Well, at least these "brave" American sailors weren’t standing around eating donuts while
the Japanese struggled in the water. We leave that sort of thing to the Philadelphia
police and fire fighters. In a videotaped "rescue" along the Schuylkill River last May
they did nothing other than watch for a half-hour or so as a troubled man clung to the
side of a bridge, then jumped off and drowned.
In fairness, I’m not sure if the dozens of Philly cops and rescue workers were actually
eating donuts or cheesesteaks as Matthew Beaufort died, but they were joking around as the
tragic event transpired. It took a roller-blading passerby and another bystander to
attempt a rescue.
This was documented in a "Dateline NBC" special aired recently. There were plenty of
overweight, overpaid cops and firefighters on the scene. They had a long time to bring a
boat under the bridge from a nearby police boathouse as Beaufort threatened to jump. Only
after the two volunteers dragged the drowning man onto the shore did Philly’s finest begin
to take their rescue equipment down to the river. And the officials wouldn’t touch
Beaufort or try to resuscitate him until the rubber gloves and other safety equipment was
on the scene. They left the dirty work for the brave volunteers.
This infuriating response didn’t merit a rebuke from the police commissioner, who actually
praised the assembled cops for their efforts after a public outcry ensued.
These types of incidents, where American cops and soldiers act with cowardice and contempt
for the people they’re supposed to be protecting, are now commonplace. Yet some
conservatives refuse to see what’s going on. They understand how oppressive government
bureaucrats can be, yet they give a pass to police officers and the military in the
mistaken belief that these armed bureaucrats are somehow different from other varieties.
The argument is that police and military are doing jobs that the government must do.
Someone’s got to catch the thugs, and someone has to protect the nation from armed
invaders. Maybe so. But something has shifted in recent years. Police increasingly view
average citizens with contempt, something no doubt reinforced in all those federal
training programs. And very little that our Imperial Military does has anything to do with
defending America from invasion.
I recall a photograph from a year or two ago in the local newspaper. A black tank-like
vehicle drove through a suburban neighborhood accompanied by police officers wearing
military-style outfits and clutching impressive firepower. They were going to the home of
an aging physician to question him in a local crime case. The doctor wasn’t holed up or
brandishing firearms. Yet the local cops thought it necessary to approach the situation
as if they were an invading army.
This is typical. In recent months, California officers shot a young boy in the back during
a drug raid; shot to death an elderly man as they entered the wrong home in a drug raid;
shot to death a homeless woman; shot in the back a Halloween partygoer holding a toy gun;
shot to death a young woman sleeping in her car after her relatives called them for help.
Each time, the cops say what their union lawyers tell them to say: "I believed that my
life was in danger."
Truth is, police are increasingly unwilling to put themselves at the slightest risk, even
though that’s the nature of police work. Far better to shoot an innocent person than risk
harm to themselves. Our military men and women are worse, as they drop bombs on targets
from the stratosphere. Who cares if they accidentally kill and maim scores of innocent
civilians, so long as American troops stay completely out of harm’s way?
This is cowardly and evil.
A recent article I wrote on workplace shootings was a real eye-opener on this score. In
case after case, the cops or deputies did nothing while a madman shot up a downtown office
building, a McDonald’s restaurant, Columbine high school. The officials were unwilling
to endure risk, so they surrounded the building and waited while innocents died en
masse.
Yet every time law enforcement officials bargain for a new contract, they present
themselves as the defenders of the populace in order to justify their outrageously
high salaries. Every time officials further regulate guns they make it more imperative
that Americans rely on these cowards for their safety. This is foolhardy.
America’s police officers and soldiers may not yet be our enemies, but they certainly are
not our friends or protectors. If trouble calls, I’d suggest relying on your own
resources.

The only number to call is "1911", as in Colt 1911. The "police" that stood around and
let this happen should lose their jobs in the least. The rioters can be identified from
the videos and must be charged appropriately.

This is the press' dirty little secret and has been going on for years. Crimes that would
curl your hair and swept under the rug for reasons that might take a lot of effort to
uncover. And it's happening in all our cities every day. A conspiracy of silence? A
request by authorities or higher ups? An attempt to keep the population feeling "safe"
(and ignorant)? Whatever the reason, thank God for resources like Free Republic. It is
essential for us all to know what is really happening in our neighborhoods. The popular
press sure won't keep us informed.

In defense of the SPD here, I was listening to KVI our local "RUSH" station, the ONLY
voice of sense in this liberal hell-hole this morning. One SPD officer called in and said
they were prepared and ready, but were not allowed to move in to action because of orders
from higher up, read liberal asshole wimp buttkisser Paul Schell. This moron is the worst
mayor in America. First WTO, now this. He keeps saying "but, this is Seattle, this does
not happen here!"" UPDATE PAUL, it does and is happening here in Seattle. It is time for
you to get your head out of your ass. Rather yet, time for you to go! Some TV footage this
morning also showed black gang members with guns firing towards police. One man
interviewed on KOMO radio said he saw this and told his friends to hit the ground because
he expected a police response, but not came. They then got up and ran away. This was black
gangs, asain gangs who were leading these mobs. Most the the footage I saw were 95% black
and asain gangs doing the hitting. One showed a black guy stomping a white woman on the
ground with his foot. 43 are in the hospital, 2 in critical condition. About 30 are in the
King County Jail. Paul Schell needs to go back to bar tending because he sure as hell
can't mayor worth a damn. Sorry for the language. I am sick of this liberal hell-hole.
I am looking to move to "red" country and get out of the "blue."

Of course, there is something to be said for the judgement (or lack thereof) of the

Benson: These kids ARE NOT "BEATING" up anyone. Check the photo higher up. This is the
kind of thing that most people were doing PRIOR to the gangs getting involved and starting
their beatings. See the photo higher up and you will see the beatings. This is vandilism,
not assaulting.

The police have no obligation to protect the citizens. Their job, as defined by the US
Supreme Court, is to investigate crimes and arrest suspects, but they are not required to
intervene during a crime.
Washington is a shall issue state. I wonder why nobody busted off some caps?

Just saw the video hi-lites of these riots for the second time. This was outrageous
behavior by many people, especially in the Seattle riot. Looked to me like a whole lotta
black folks beaten up on white folks. May be my eyes deceived me, but just what do we have
police for? Going out in public today for any large public event, you better be carrying
some help, or else your asking for trouble.

Here is your future, Euro-america. Learn to love it.
It's so easy to react negatively. It takes no effort or thought whatsoever. What is
difficult is to remain firm in your resolve to be a positive force for change in your
community, or in your country. What is difficult is to think creatively and give time to
pursue solutions to societal problems,such as youth violence or failing schools. That's
what so impresses me about GW Bush. Rather than take the easy, no-effort route of
complaining and criticizing, he takes the long standing American stance of refusing to
fall into negative thinking, and insists on being a positive force in the nation. In so
doing, he has earned my respect.

My husband was playing in a New Orleans style band last night right in the thick of it. At
one point they thought they were going to get crushed by the crowd but got out of it. You
are correct no mention of the black on white violence in the paper. KVI, Kirby Wilbur, is
talking about it though. In the 70's Fat Tuesday wasn't like this. There was only one riot
that I remember during all the years I went to it. Most of the crowd last night looked to
be under 21 or barely over 21.

i watched about two hours of live filming last night...sure, there were white drunks
acting up too, but the violence was overwhelmingly by a small number of blacks...and the
violence ought not be described as fights...they were beatings and stompings...beatings of
white people by blacks...
you can pretend otherwise, if that gives you a more comfortable feeling...but pretense is
not reality...
right now on kvi, a seattle police lieutenant is telling that the police were expecting
this to happen, and were prepared to deal with it, but were held back from above...he's
not said the name, but the responsibility is on paul schell's head...again...

You are right. It's not a race issue to me. It's a crime issue. Criminals come in all

The hood dancing on the hood of that car belongs in jail for 30 days and a $500 fine IMHO
for misdemeanor vandalism, destruction of private property and possibly drunk and

Bill O'Reilly has bee harranguing the Rap Music industry lately. This area in Seattle has
been known to have a high rate of violence related to the Hip Hop clubs. The city closed
them down once and were inundated with complaints and protests by the Black community to
reopen them. I am not even sure what the difference is between Hip Hop and Rap, but one
thing they have in common is the relationship to violence. I don't think that it is the
music, itself, though. I think that you have to add another component,drugs or alcohol.

Don't forget that the anarchists have repeatedly rioted and they were ....tada... mostly

Of course it counts, don't be a jackass. When violence is specifically directed as a
concerted mugging, the animals should be shot on the spot regardless of their color, as
far as I'm concerned. No qualifications whatsoever.

Interesting, isn't Seattle the place where jackbooted thugs beat unarmed (albeit
misguided) anti-free trade protestors?
I seem to recall that in Communist states in the early days, the police enforce a
heavy-handed rule of law (plus gratuitious terrorism) except when the stooges of the
regime are terrorizing the populace in the guise of popular support for the regime, when
they get a free ride. Perhaps we could let the Peoples' Republic of Seattle secede, and
have two Republican senators from the part of Washington state that stays in the Union.

This was black gangs, asain gangs who were leading these mobs. Most the the footage I saw
were 95% black and asain gangs doing the hitting. One showed a black guy stomping a white
woman on the ground with his foot. 43 are in the hospital, 2 in critical condition. About
30 are in the King County Jail.
Am I correct in assuming the ones in jail, are the whites who were being beaten, or
defending themselves? Probably not, but it is a thought. Will political correctness end

Right on. Too many police today have scaredy cat mentalities. This liberal "safe at all
costs" hysteria is influencing police departments. All the more reason why "self defense"
really means self defense, it's up to you. In the 1960's there was a gunman who went up
into a tower on a college campus in Texas and started shooting. My mom told me that her
uncle or cousin was one of the people killed. A few years ago my son, in a criminal
justice class, watched live footage of that scene. The tower gave the gunman an incredible
advantage and yet what did the police do? One brave cop ran across the open square to get
to the base of the tower while another had his back. He went up into the tower and nailed
the guy. They didn't wait for massive back-up or riot gear or negotiators. They didn't
wait until every element of danger had been removed, they took care of business! If only a
cop like that had been at Columbine.

it is very common for the police of today to cower in fear when there is danger. I have
witnessed it before. About 5 years ago in Phoenix I witnessed a situation where a skinhead
with a swastika tatoo was holding someone hostage with a gun. The police were called. The
police knew this fellow, they knew he was armed, they knew he had a half-wolf dog that he
used to intimidate anyone who came to his property, they were willing to call him on the
phone and talk to him, but they weren't willing to knock on the door, even when it was all
over and the person had been released, even though the police knew that the 2 citizens who
said the guy was holding someone by gun the police still let him go. I don't blame them,
they could've been killed for knocking on the door. But this case in Seattle is worse,
the police officers should always be thought of as the cowards they are, they deserve no
special respect any more.

sick and tired of not being able to talk about it. I'm going to shout about it ever since
my car broke down near a black naighborhood and I was asked what I was doing in there area
and then beaten to a pulp and robbed. The whole time this was going on the words mother

I live in Seattle and a wholeheartedly agree with the first half of your statement, except
I'd leave out the word "scume" (although I think you mean "scum"). I just have a hard time
calling people names that are not technically correct.
This would be a spectacular area if not for the politics - kind of like San Francisco.
I was downtown during WTO, walking by HUNDREDS of police in gear right out of a science
fiction movie. It was severely spooky. They let mayhem break out and FINALLY got involved.
The police chief resigned over that fiasco and a lot of people wanted the mayor to as
well.
We now have a different police chief but the same mayor, and the problem persists. Gee,
who should resign this time.

I am truly sorry to hear about your unfortunate situation. I am not making excuses for
anyones behavior based on skin color, and certianly there is black-on-white rascism. And
of course it isn't going to get reported in the mainstream media; the media is run by
liberals and they only report white-on-black crimes. However the truth remains that crime
is crime regardless of the color of the criminals skin and the color of the victims. The
sooner we punish the criminals, and stop referring to people as "hyphonated Americans",
the better off we'll all be.

you are exactly right in your analysis, the police have become cowards. What that cop did
in the mid-60's they no longer will do, they have managers who teach them to be cowards
rather than men. They no longer deserve any special respect. Today, they expect us to
respect them because they have power, not because they deserve our respect any more.
Not only that the police have become petty dictators who are willing to lie on their
police reports and lie under oath. When the real challenges come, they run and hide, I've
witnessed it myself and obviously it happened at Columbine.

Here's a hint: If you don't want to get beat up, stay out of mass drunken
parties.
Very good point. Mardi Gras celebrations, nowadays, seem prone to degenerate into drunken

There is clearly a bias in people's minds that "hate crimes" can only be committed by
white people.
Recently the local news reported a police shooting involving black and hispanic citizens
and an asian police officer.
The news reported that the shooting was not racially motivated because the victims where
black and hispanic and the police officer was asian.
It seems very clear to me that "hate crimes" can only be commited by white, non-homosexual
males.

I strongly disagree with you.
The car that you see in that photo with the guy dancing on the hood was actually trying to
leave the scene. That guy, along with anyone alse in the crowd that surrounded the car,
would have gotten 30 days in the intensive care unit or the rest of eternity in a cemetery
if I was driving that car.

I don't want to fall into the race trap on this thing. The issue for me is the actions,
not the race. Always has been and always will be. That said, if you can point to 35 green
guys doing evil and 1 purple guy doing the same evil, the two are not equal. Unless, you
recently completed a government school education.
The video and eyewitness evidence is overwhelming this time, regarding race. Sorry benson.
However, the only way race is germain to me, in this type of situation, is when people
literally ignore it. That is just odd. It's like not noticing if the beater or beatee is a
man or woman.
Not noticing obvious details exposes an agenda. If you read their coverage, you'll notice
the Seattle PI definitely has one. KVI Doesn't.

Well said, I too believe that crime is crime no matter color, but we have a serious
problem in this country with reversed racism. It needs to be heard about. Those people who
attacked me should be punished under a hate crime sanction. If they ever catch them (it's
been years) they will be accused of battery and theft. That's it. This hate crime stuff
needs to go both ways and I'm sick and tired of everybody poo-pooing this serious racism
problem we have. The blacks are able to use that excuse at will, it's time to turn the
tables.
Sorry about the ranting, as you might tell I am very angry about this subject. That's all
for now...

One thing though, blacks tend to think of themselves as a group, where most whites think
of themselves as individuals.
What are you basing that on? This forum is based on a "group" identity. But we still
retain our own identity. Politically, blacks have acted in a bloc, in order to weild any
power at all. This comes from being shut out of our system for so many years. But even if
blacks "tend to think of themselves as a group", that doesn't mean they should be held
responsible for what others do. Maybe it isn't just blacks who "tend to think of them as
a group."

Their job, as defined by the US Supreme Court, is to investigate crimes and arrest
suspects, but they are not required to intervene during a crime.
Could you elaborate on this please? it is fascinating. Seems to me every time police
respond to a school shooting, a bank robbery or a hostage situation they are "intervening".
I suppose I understand, then, that they do so only because they feel like it, not because
it's part of their job?

Walk down the streets of any large American urban area and tell me: Who is the bigger

If you don't answer with the latter, you haven't been to a city, say, in about 5
decades.

on your private residence at 3am and shooting you in the back based upon rumors that you
might have perscription medicine, .22 caliber firearm, or a bible. Then cover it up by
classifying the evidence as secret. Also, better make sure your poodle doesnt bark either

You consider 4 black men holding and beating a white woman to be morally equivalent to a
white man standing on a(nother white man's) car? Having made this equivalency you then
present the "we don't know everything" and "everybody does it" defense to excuse both
actions. Yeah, you're to be considered a civilized person. No reason not to welcome you

This is basically true. Technically, this is to prevent you from being able to sue your

prevent it.

Let me remind those who would bang their fists and demand the firing of police officers
over this latest Seattle debacle of a few salient points. During the fallout from the WTO
debacle in Seattle, police officers were roundly criticized in that city (and by liberals
nationwide) for their use of excessive force to put down what amounted to an armed
insurrection. Although officers used tactics and equipment approved by the City of Seattle
(through its corporation counsel, as ALL police manuals are these days), they were
characterized as goons who overreacted to displays of justifiable protest and expressions
of free speech. In short, it was the line police officers who were blamed for causing the
rioting and property damage. This is a manifest lie. Lest another disservice be placed at
the feet of the working officers of Seattle, I would like to remind FReepers of the Rodney
King incident...and point out that this travesty of justice changed the tactics of police
officers nationwide. Seldom do we now see a stick-swinging melee...and when we do, we can
be assured that in the back of every officer's mind is the phrase "federal court
defendant". If force is needed, it tends to be in the form of pepper spray, which can
incapacitate without causing excessive trauma...certainly without the kind of trauma that
75 sutures to the head would result in after a "sticking". (The kind of trauma that the
suspect's attorney has photographed to portray the suspect as the true victim at trial,
ensure acquittal, and then sue the department and the officers.) The only way for officers
to survive the current legal climate (which is prevalent in liberal urban centers such as
Seattle)is to resort to group crowd control tactics. This type of "measured response"
prevents the free-for-all type of incident that photographs so well for the all-seeing
minicam...and prevents charges of excessive force. This situation grates at the nature of
the individual officers...the impulse to react, to control, to end the incident is almost
overpowering. But to do so without command approval(including civilian authority) and
appropriate tactics invites the loss of job, home, and income for the individual officer.
To those who do not understand the realities of modern policing, and the disadvantage that
the individual officer is placed at, this looks like inaction. The temptation to say "what
are they waiting for" is legitimate...albeit uninformed. Our line officers in America have
been placed out on a limb by the media, the legal climate, and the second guessing of
"commentators" who profess expertise in law enforcement, but somehow never saw the sun
rise through a cruiser windshield. Do not blame the Seattle officers. Blame the civilian
authorities who command them. Blame the media for rushing to judgment when an officer uses
force. Blame the false prophets who portray predators as victims, and their defenders as
antagonists. Most of all, blame liberalism for the climate in which any and all manner of
outrageous behavior is legitimized as self-expression. It is time to un-handcuff the
average cop in the United States. Perhaps then the lightning-quick responses demanded by
some on this board will again be forthcoming. But until those officers have protection
from the plaintiff's attorneys for action taken when simply doing their jobs...the jobs
they hunger to do as they once did...the cautious citizen will avoid angry mobs and
dangerous crowds. Otherwise they may be stomped by those who wish to "express themselves".

My only answer to this is that my son is a police officer, and he is as hard-working and
responsible as anyone could be. Several times he has pursued suspects on foot, into dark
allies, until he caught them or was called back by superiors. Mr. Rockwell is just a
little too smug.
I can sympathize with how you feel about this. Here in CR Ia. the police are seriously in
charge of situations like this. They take personally even the rumor of gang activity and
they crack down on anything that even smells like a gang. I read about Seattle and I swear
I'm reading science fiction. But, people from big cities tell me it's that way all
over.

It's a little more complicated than one event, and it went down something like this - wild
revelry until midnight, but very little violence. Lots of street drinking (illegal here)
and underage drinking by the college and highschool crowd. Along about midnight the
younger folks and the less rowdy went home, leaving the most violent and the most drunk
to party, and yes, up until this the police just stood there. I saw some people getting
their picture taken with the riot-police. (This was actually much earlier - I didn't stick
around for the serious partying - not on a "school night.")
Then small gangs began to circulate, some black, some asian, not so many hispanics. It was
these guys who were pulling people aside at random and beating and robbing them. Most of
the victims were white, some weren't, according to the news stories. Two in critical
condition.
Now as for concealed carry - the only ones who seemed to be armed were the bad guys, and
some of them were actually shooting. In Seattle proper (as opposed to the outlying areas)
carry is rare as most of the people downtown are flaming liberals who view firearms as
contagion. These people are food, and the predators were out in force.
As I type I'm about two blocks from ground zero, and the place looks like a war zone -
trash all over, planters tipped, graffitti on the walls, broken beer bottles. Kind of
reminds me of WTO. We'll be picking up and cleaning up and life will return to normal,
and my hopes are that the two in critical condition will be able to say the same.

Huck, you need to read it again. I also did not say that all blacks should be held
responsible for the crimes of these scum bags. The criminal elements tend to think of
themselves as a group. Whites tend to think of themselves as individuals. Lower class
whites, the ones in prison, or who probably should be in prison, also tend to think of
themselves as a group, but it is mostly for protection from other gang bangers. I doubt

of course it isn't going to get reported in the mainstream media; the media is run by

is crime regardless of the color of the criminals skin and the color of the victims. The

Mardi Gras celebrations, nowadays, seem prone to degenerate into drunken riots.
Only in places that have no idea what Mardi Gras is all about. The rest of the country
sees it as lewd, drunken, naked debauchery. That's why you have what you have in Philly,
Seattle and Austin.
In Lafayette, it's pretty much promoted as a family event, and it goes off without any
major problems (other than traffic). Yesterday, there were only five arrests, which ain't
bad when a town of 115,000 swells to close to 1 million. Even in New Orleans, it doesn't
get to the point of riots, and there are a heck of a lot more people there for Mardi Gras
then there are in Philly, Austin and Seattle.

Some of this racial crap goes right along with Jesse Jackson. He'd be proud.
1. Most blacks aren't thugs that go around to beat up whites. Some so, and then some
whites beat up blacks too. Most people in EITHER race don't do it. (For the record I know
a black man jumped and beaten by whites and a white man jumped and beaten by blacks, and
both were racially motivated)
2. The PC WHITE LIBERAL media is the one that you should go after on this for not
reporting it one way. PC WHITE LIBERALS are the problem.

Never hurts a lady to know how to use a knife as well as a pistol. Unless of course she

What a novelty! Black on White violence!
This won't make the national news because it's a "dog bites man" story.
Black-on-everybody-else violence is the normal state of affairs in modern America.
While I do not ordinarily blame the victim, anyone who "parties" in an environment
habituated by young Black males is simply asking for trouble. These people are conditioned
to Groupthink and to violence as a form of social and artistic expression.
Some simple precautions will prevent (or at least postpone) becoming a victim. Do not go
where they are. And if they arrive where YOU are, leave. Being armed will not help, unless

" It is time to un-handcuff the average cop in the United States. Perhaps then the
lightning-quick responses demanded by some on this board will again be forthcoming."
I believe I understand your sympathies rather well but that wasn't the point of my earlier
post. In a nutshell:
Police enforce laws/answer to politicians; politicians make laws/answer to special
interest groups. The overall effect is to confiscate liberty and rule a captive populace.
Police need to WAKE-UP to the Set-Up.

Ummm, no, their 'job' is to enforce the laws, as in Law Enforcement Officer.
Isn't it against the law to riot and assault people?
They work for the government, not the people
I've read somewhere that here in the US we are a government, for, by, and of the
people.

It's very comfortable and oh so PC to equate the 2 types of thugs you mention, but you
seems to have your hand in the sand when it comes to the racial realities of this
country.
Even the Reverend Jackson himself has been quoted as saying he breathes a sigh of relief
when the footsteps behind him on a street at night belong to a white person rather than a
black.

Very impressive that it took five or six of these macho men to take down one thin white

They get really courageous when the odds are 5 to 1..
Very impressive also that the white boys stood around and watched with their hands in
their pockets.

On the other hand, those of us who are so enlightened realize that this ritual is a

Here in Virginia, a concealed weapon permit extends to carrying edged weapons as well as
firearms.
A well wielded blade can be swift, silent and just as deadly as a gun in this
situation.
I would think a couple of sticks, slashes and stabs, would have changed any thug's mind
real quick.
We had a riot here in 1989, at "Greekfest", a black college gathering.
In fairness, it was run of the mill thugs and not the frat youths doing what thugs do
best.
The cops kicked a little ass and "greekfest" is a thing of the past here in Va.
Beach.
The Seattle PI link showed thugs, both white & black, thuggery knows no limits.
I would venture to say though that the citizens of Seattle are being screwed by the mayor
& the cops, imho.

To All... As an indvidual in the Law Enforcement field...Let me assure you that orders
came down from on "high" That they were not to intervene until things " got out of hand"
to not have a repeat of the negative press coverage, that came out after the WTO protests.
The same way that NYPD officers were given orders not to make a huge "visible presence"
during the Puerto Rican Day Parade here in NY..Lest they be accused of racism, by being
VERY visible at largely minority gatherings and less so at mostly caucausian attended
events. Dont blame the average street cop trying to do the job, without getting "jammed
up". Blame the politicians setting the rules.

In Seattle (firearms) carry is rare as most of the people downtown are flaming liberals
who view firearms as contagion. These people are food, and the predators were out in
force.
Exactly. But thousands of Seattle libs who saw this just got a cold bucket of reality
thrown in their faces last night, and may come around.
I think that in situations of ongoing live civil disturbances covered by local TV, it is
critical to get the VCR tapes rolling. Once these images go out live on TV, they are often
spiked and never seen again due to their "un-PC" nature. Certainly they will never be seen
on ABCNNBCBS unless there is a hue and cry. And probably not then.
(Imagine if the racial roles were reversed at an Alabama rock concert or auto race party.
It would be like Rodney King, televised in slow-mo 24-7 coast to coast.)

rascism runs rampant here. crime is crime regardless of race. crawl back into your own

Our government is racist. People like Peter Deutsch scream and yell about nonexistant
black disenfranchisement. Then he makes the racist statement saying that since the ballot
requires a 4th grade education to figure out, that makes it racist. Sure sounds like he is
the racist. The Congressional Black Caucus. I don't see a Congressional White Caucus.
Alcee Hastings said Colin Powell didnt represent black people because he was actually
qualified and not a token black. Racism is RAMPANT in our culture. But it is violently
and pathologically against whites. I think people here are trying to demonstrate how
outrageous this is.

If it'll make you feel any better, I wrote the mayor of Seattle and asked him were his
outrage was about hate crimes committed in his city against the white community, pointing
out that if the races were reversed he would probably be on national TV basking in the
limelight the media provides for pc stories.....ugh.
It's time for elected leaders to deal with reality and get this situation corrected...
ignoring it or refusing to acknowledge the truth about it will only pave the way for more
and more violence.
We all just want the violence against one another to end...the problem here is bitterness
and hatred, not color. If blacks could look at things more clearly and truthfully, there
would be less resentment toward whites in general. Like the truth that they only represent
12% of all Americans and that the huge percentage of the remainder of Americans could care
less about their skin color and don't resent their culture at all.
Politicians don't do the blacks, nor any American a favor by always trying to divide the
cultures and hiding the truth of statics like percentages of crimes committed by such a
small segment of society. The TRUST will set us all free....let's start dealing with
it.

black gangs. Like the white young girl being kicked, stomped and punched mulitple times by
10 or 15 blacks. It appeared that all of her front teeth had been knocked out.

Another point ... 40 years ago at New Orleans Mardi Gras, blacks would strap razors to
their ankles and cut whites on their legs - just out of meaness. So all of this junk
doesn't surprise me at all. And people who are taking up for those black punks make me
ill.
I'm tired of being singled out by blacks because I am white. (You white MALES aren't the
ONLY ones!) Some punk teenage black stuck a gun in my face 3 years ago and took my purse.
I wasn't scared; I was MAD - and the anger doesn't go away very easy. And I - along with
other whites - was persecuted without mercy by a black superior on a job one time.
This mess can all be laid at the doorstep of Jessie Jackson and his ilk. I hope the big
bucks he has extorted are worth it.
It's gonna be a long haul for our African-American FReepers, columnists, and politicians

I find this situation disgusting but this is not only jackson's legacy, it is our legacy,
too. For every black or group of blacks that had the s*&@ beat out of them during the
civil rights movement these young black "gangstas", feel they have a cause to make right.
At least it probably started that way, now it sounds like it is just a seasonal ritual.
Police could have stepped in at any time, they didn't step in very early during the riots
of the civil rights why would they step in now. They didn't become policemen to get hurt,
did they?

Finally, we can agree on something. Your previous comment that "racism runs rampant here"
is misplaced on this site as a huge majority of FReepers would agree whole-heartedly with
your comment above. The frustration of some of the posters is that the thugs getting away
with assault and battery are escaping justice on the basis that they hold some special

>>and every black "gangsta" in seattle is watching those films today, listening to the
tales of those who participated, and understanding how much they will be allowed to beat
and rob decent white folks without fear of retaliation...
Maybe they learned this lesson from Alan Iverson? He and 16 of his young black male
friends attacked 4 white women with steel folding chairs in a bowling alley. It was caught
on videotape,and you could see Iverson beating on one of the women. One of the last acts
of Virginia's first black Governor (Doug Wilder) was to give Iverson a pardon and release
him from prison so he could play basketball.
Iverson has been caught a couple of times since then for illegally carrying a weapon and I
THINK for cocaine possession. He was allowed to pay fines and walk away.
Then again,part of this problem is due to too many whites "punking out". Look at that
photo. What you see are young black men beathing on a white female with their fists,while
young white men stand around and watch. The blacks who are doing things like this are
going to KEEP on doing things like this untill the coroners office has to start showing up
with cattle trucks to pick up the black bodies laying in the street.

I talked about this in another thread today. I'm also from Lafayette and it really hacks
me off when I see this stuff blamed on Mardi Gras.
I can just about guaranty that most people at these so called Mardi Gras celebrations have
no idea what Mardi Gras is even about. They see pictures of New Orleans with drunk people
in the streets and think that's what its all about.
It's supposed to be the last celebration before Lent starts off. How you celebrate is up
to you, most of us do partake in consuming adult beverages and partying in the streets.
However, in all my years celebrating Mardi Gras in Lafayette, New Orleans, and Mamou, I
have never once felt like starting a riot. That's the same mentality that causes people to
riot after their pro sports team wins a championship. I'll never understand those yankees
and west coast people.

Sorry, you are mistaken. Two different cars.

Way. Within seconds, all of the car's windows had been smashed. (February 28, 2001)---
Here you have a white man in his car that eventually gets all the windows smashed out.
CAPTION:Mark Bristol, a guitar and washboard player with the Seattle Cajun band File Gumbo,
returns to his wrecked car after Fat Tuesday. Bristol had parked at First and Yesler while
his band performed nearby. (February 28, 2001)--Here you have the overturned car in the
story, no occupants in the car, different owner, different wheel covers.
BUT both cars belonged to whites. Whites in both cases were the victims.

It's so easy to react negatively. It takes no effort or thought whatsoever. What is
difficult is to remain firm in your resolve to be a positive force for change in your
community, or in your country. What is difficult is to think creatively and give time to
pursue solutions to societal problems,such as youth violence or failing schools.
Hearing your suggestion, in this context sounds more like standing in the middle of the
railroad tracks, gazing with doe eyed optimism into the glare of the runaway train, hoping
to be a peaceful and positive force for changing its direction.
Your sentimentality is dangerously misplaced. I have had my share of altercations with
thugs like these and I can tell you, your sympathy and your hope for a passive solution
are squandered.
Pay attention! They beat women. They Savagely pummelled woman. They beat them with fists
and bottles and boards and in your cowardice you urge a fools hope for a "peaceful and
positive force" for change. Your sentiments weaken everyone that would stand up against
this brutality and I'm amazed that you would try to disrupt the rightous anger that acts
like this one invoke.

These things don't happen in the south...WHY because the Rebel Flag loving Rednecks
consider it in poor taste. Gangs are just a collective group of bullies.
When it becomes dangerous to racially attack Whites, like in the south, then violence like
this will subside.
Had this happened in Dallas, LittleRock, or any other Southern City, the NEXT DAY they'd
have been serious reprocussions.
Violence exists... where its ALLOWED to exist.
Yes, violence against any ethnic group is intolerable. In the South, no one is targeted
today...Maybe there is a lesson here, Maybe its because we have a faction in our society
of the good ole boys who are really bad to the bone, and just waiting for this type of
stupidity...I don't know, but there is a deterant down here !

>>Don't forget that the anarchists have repeatedly rioted and they were ....tada... mostly
white.
Ok,so how many minority women did that rat pack and stomp into the ground?
>>I guess that doesn't count.
No,it doesn't. There is no comparing property damage to physical assault by a
gang.
