I remember the summer of 2011, a story about a crowd of teenagers at the Wisconsin State Fair randomly attacking fairgoers went viral as a sign of a burgeoning race war. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel fanned the flames, calling the teenagers "rampaging youths" who caused "mob-like disturbances":
"Then around the closing time of 11 p.m., witnesses told the Journal Sentinel, dozens to hundreds of black youths attacked white people as they left the fair, punching and kicking people and shaking and pounding on their vehicles."
"Dozens to hundreds"? When witnesses can't differentiate between 24 and 100, should we really rely on them to speculate whether a crime was racially motivated? One of the reasons the story gained so much traction could have stemmed from the fact that Milwaukee is the most segregated city in the country, and it validated white residents' fear that their black neighbors are dangerous.
Now, the false trend story of black mob violence has cropped up again, as it seems to do annually, in conservative media outlets. (McKay Coppins wrote about this phenomenon in BuzzFeed last year.) The new scare is the "knockout game," in which black youths supposedly attack innocent people just for fun. Conservative pundits decry the MSM for suffering from political correctness and whitewashing crimes perpetrated by black people, but a more reasonable explanation for why most media outlets aren't devoting round-the-clock coverage to the knockout game is thatsorry, Sean Hannitythere is no hard data showing that it's a trend.

“These people are the de facto shock troops of the left, demoralizing their enemy.”
They are, but they are being crushed themselves by the Bronze horde demographically and economically (the Left’s new shock troops). The Quartering Act was to burden the beneficiaries of the soldiers’ protection with the cost (during and after the French & Indian Wars). We don’t benefit at all from having the dregs of society pawned on us; the federal government knows nobody wants them (the only beneficiaries are liquor stores and social services, public school teachers, and police), so they’ll spread the problem across all 50 states to spread the cost (and risk).
I been commenting on the Project21 Website for a week now.
Hey, misunderstood and oppressed young black men. I challenge you. Sorry, but I am calling you out and dissing you. This stupid game is nothing. Nothing but a few random acts. Hear me? I call it fiction. I am not afraid of you.

PS - I do not believe in guns
Well, my friend, until more people such as yourself stand up as individuals, rather than playing the group think blame game, and call this violence what it is, we are far from solving the racial divide in this country. That is what the left wants. The race-baiting industry that continues to damage this great country is alive and well. Those despicable people in that industry do not give a damn about the content of one’s character and individual responsibility. Obama is the leading race-baiter.

@jasondashbailey I think Ill invite him to my Thanksgiving. Then he can tell my grandma exactly how he thinks I should be assaulted
No, Emma. We do not want you to be assaulted. But you must admit it would be interesting irony. Don’t worry, dear. If it happens and you survive, I will teach you to shoot and help you pick out a weapon.
