Chgo Sun-Times: Violent White Men 'Not Held Accountable for Their Actions'

Did you know that violent white men are never arrested for their actions? The Chicago Sun-Times' Mary Mitchell is sure of it, if you aren't. In another of her typically race baiting articles, Mitchell this time says that any time a white man is engaged in violent behavior, he is let off "to go on his merry way," never to be "held accountable" for his actions. Race monger Mitchell is sure of this, see, because she saw a traffic scuffle between two "old white guys" where no arrests were made by Chicago police.

Two "old white guys" let go without arrest after a traffic altercation? Wow, case closed, racism exists, eh?

Mitchell claims she saw a traffic altercation where one white guy jumped from his car and verbally abused another white man in the car behind him. The Chicago police were called and, in the end, both drivers were told to "go on their merry way," as Mitchell put it. No arrests were made. Then again, no real violence occurred, either.

Mitchell claims she and other witnesses were stunned.

Then, things fall apart. Honda is back in the car and drives away. What? We witnesses don’t understand. Shouldn’t this guy remain on the scene, or be escorted to the police station? Don’t the cops need to write up some kind of report or dispense some tickets for traffic violations? (Obstructing traffic, for starters.)... Then the cuffs are taken off of Explorer and he, too, is allowed to go on his merry way. No ticket. No arrest.

The police explain to Mitchell that the man accosted did not want to press charges, so the incident was over.

But, this didn't stop Mitchell from imagining she saw racism in this incident... of course, Mitchell sees racism in everything under the sun. After explaining what she saw, Mitchell goes off on a tired-of-the-man-keeping-me-down rant that is just as silly as it is unsupported by any real facts.

Be sure and read the rest at Pulius' Forum...

This woman is as big a racist as any David Duke you could find.

[Keith Brown]

Not being from that area I have to guess...she is a “doctor” or a “reverand” of some sort?

[junkman_106]

Sure wish I could get a job with as little talent as this broad seems to have. BTW, is she “of color”?

[JoJo Gunn]

Word on the street is that some cops won’t go into some of the ‘hoods. Reckon why?

Perhaps Mitchell could look into it?

[BenLurkin]

"Set me free?"

[junkman_106]

can’t really tell from the picture, could be PR?

[Blueflag]

She did get one thing kinda right that even Jessee J got right before ... “Not one of the cops I saw held their hand instinctively, protectively over their weapons, a hair trigger away. I suppose everyone knows that old white guys, even when they’re perps, are just not that scary.”

[Mopp4]

BTW, is she “of color”?

She is...that's her picture under MITCHELL WATCH.

[television is just wrong]

excuse me, no one but white men are excused for their bad behavior.

This is the old Eddie Murphy routine from SNL -- black guy dresses up as a white man and finds out that white people don't actually have to pay for stuff in stores, and public transportation becomes a party-mobile as soon as the last black guy gets off -- then the white folks start serving champagne on the bus.

Yeah, these double standards really exist. [/s]

[television is just wrong]

wait, I worded that bass ackward.

everyone but white men are excused for their bad behavior.

[caver]

Her picture confirmed my suspicion.

My husband witnessed an old white guy getting arrested in New Haven, CT yesterday in what appeared to be a traffic stop.

Took a total of 3 squad cars & the paddy wagon. No, the old white guy wasn’t violent. Guess none of the cops wanted him in the back of their cruisers.

Mary Mitchell should learn from Margaret Mitchell when writing about “whites”...she’ll get a better perspective.

How long did it take for all of this to transpire?

When I have a car accident even in the middle of an intersection, police will go AROUND the area and still not stop to render aid, assistance, or file an accident report for 60 minutes even in the middle of the day.

How long did she and others stand around watching?

Or by altercation, does she mean that it was an example of horn honking and road rage but no fender bender?

And how long did it take for the police to respond to THAT incident? And how long did she and other stand there watching? Or did they happen upon an argument (no violent but heated) already in progress with the police left little choice but to tell them to "move it along" and possibly file a "disturbing the peace" charge meaning a day spend in court listening to People's Court type bickering?

[Psycho_Bunny]

She has that "I'm a very unpleasant person" look.

You can see it in her eyes.

[al_c]

What color is O.J. Simpson?

[Conspiracy Guy]

These violent white guys live next door to me.

*****BTW, is she “of color?”*****

Yes, black.
