Black Gangs Vented Hatred For Whites In Downtown Attacks
'I Hate You F---ing White People,' Woman Shouts At Victim
Black gangs roaming downtown Denver often vented their hatred for white victims before assaulting and robbing them during a four-month crime wave, according to interviews and court records obtained by 7NEWS.
"I hate you f---ing white people," said a black woman in a large group of black men, according to the victim who was beaten up as he and three buddies left a LoDo bar after midnight on Aug. 30.
"F---- you, white boys," the woman added, according to the 25-year-old Westminster victim, who spoke to 7NEWS Friday.
"Why do you hate white people?" the man recalled asking. "That's when I got hit. They beat the crap out of me," he added, saying that 15 to 20 men beat him to the ground.
"They just swarmed you," said the man who curled up on the ground to shield his face. "You basically just had to protect yourself and hope they didn't kill you."
The victim, who suffered bruised ribs and a cut head, said he was protected by a padded motorcycle jacket. He asked that his name be withheld for his safety.
A couple dozen arrest warrant affidavits unsealed Friday offer chilling insights into the 26 racially-motivated "blitz attacks," which stretched from July 17 to Nov. 17.
One unidentified suspect told police "that the members of his gang earn status in the gang by beating up 'white dudes,'" according to court records. He added that the gangs targeted "drunk white guys," exiting bars and nightclubs in the entertainment district.
The suspects allegedly bragged about knocking out white victims with one punch to the head. Victims lying on the ground were "stomped" and even tossed through glass windows.
In the more than two dozen attacks, victims' injuries included a skull fracture as well as broken noses and eye sockets when they were blindsided by punches that often knocked them unconscious. One man was so savagely attacked that he was hospitalized in a coma for a while, police said.
Several of the 35 young male and female suspects arrested by police recently said the gangs often targeted lone white and Hispanic men because they didn't "fight back" and they had money, iPods and other valuable gadgets that attackers coveted.
Another goal: to drive whites away from their downtown turf, including a hip-hop nightclub, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
The gangs "own that area," one suspect told police.
7NEWS exposed the crime spree in early September when a law enforcement source said the police department was keeping the public in the dark about a series of downtown attacks. The source added that a special FBI task force had been called in to help identify the assailants.
When 7NEWS made a public records request Sept. 3 for crime reports in the area, a police spokesman confirmed the department was investigating a "pattern of assaults and robberies in central Denver" that began in July.
Police spokesman Sonny Jackson denied that police delayed warning the public for seven weeks to avoid frightening visitors to the popular and lucrative downtown entertainment district.
He said police had to confirm "a pattern of behavior" before going public.
But police reports say the gang attack pattern was identified during the summer as the department deployed uncover teams and used surveillance cameras to identify the assailants.
"During the summer months of 2009, a pattern of criminal conduct was identified which included multiple suspects identifying a solo Caucasian or Hispanic male and completing a blitz attack against this party," an officer wrote in an arrest affidavit for a Sept. 4 robbery on the 16th Street Mall.
"Part of the MO involved the group of suspects, usually African American males, sending a party, possibly an African American female, to identify the victim," the officer wrote. "This is done by (the woman) talking with or standing with the victim. A suspect, generally male, from the group will step forward and hit the victim hard, knocking him down. Other members of the group will then emerge and begin participating in beating the victim."
The Westminster beating victim said if police had warned the public earlier, he and others could have better protected themselves
"I'm kind of upset that (police) didn't make it public," said the Westminster beating victim. "I would have been more vigilant. It would have made people a lot more on guard."
But, he added that, "I'm very pleased that they responded the way they did." Within minutes of his 911 cell phone call, uncover officers flooded the scene. He recalled listening to police radios crackling with reports of two suspects being arrested that night.
"I was like, 'Wow, finally they did something,'" the man recalled.
Prosecutors have charged two men and a woman in his attack.
As police pursued the massive investigation involving 35 suspects and dozens of victims, investigators asked the young blacks why they targeted whites.
"Because they got a lot of money," suspect Allen Ford, 18, allegedly told police. Other suspects echoed that simple rationale.
Ford, who was the last suspect arrested in a major police sweep in the past two weeks, allegedly told investigators earlier that he was upset how the robbery spoils were divvied up among members of the Rolling 60s Crips gang and the Black Gangster Disciples gang, according to the arrest affidavits.
Ford, who was arrested Thursday, allegedly griped about "other people getting bigger stuff than me that I would really like to have in my life," according to the records.
At times, older men would chastise young gang members, saying, "Y'all make it seem like a big deal for y'all to be knocking out white people," suspect Denita Mayfield told police. "They all brag about beating up white people."
But the attackers used more than their fists. "The series of crimes has also involved the use of a gun and knife," a police report said.
One male victim recalled a black woman approaching him on the street and saying something he couldn't hear.
"As he was attempting to clarify what had been said to him, a black male came up and stated, 'What the f--- did you say to my girl?'" a detective wrote in an arrest affidavit.
Instantly, the victim was punched.
As he was pounded with blows, the victim said he heard a woman voice shouting, "Get that white boy!" according to an arrest affidavit.
Kendall Austin, 18, allegedly told police that the street gangs "own that area," referring to the 1400 block of 19th Street.
He said they were especially possessive of the Bash nightclub at 19th and Blake streets, saying their purpose was to "keep white people from going to 'The Bash' and to 'let people know not to come downtown without their friends for protection.'"
During an Aug. 2 attack, suspect Allen Ford told police his alleged accomplice, Xavier Francis, tossed a white man through a glass window behind the Bash nightclub.
"I seen him pick the little white boy up and throw him through the glass," Ford told police, according to court records. Police obtained security camera video showing the victim fly through the window.
The Westminster man said after he was attacked, he avoided downtown for a while.
Now he's returned to his favorite LoDo tavern, but he added: "I'm a lot, lot more cautious. It makes me look over my shoulder a lot more."
“Personally, I think that some of the worst lowlife black hoodlums have been emboldened by Obama being elected. He’s a living affirmation of their belief that they’re owed something by the majority culture.”
I think you hit the nail right on the head. These gangbangers have grown up in a environment that probably included broken families (thanks welfare state), drug and alcohol addiction (thanks liberal philosophy), and the consequential violence that goes with those things. Hence, the strategy of hanging with others to protect oneself morphs from the defensive to the offensive because they have also been taught that society is unfair to them and that they have no chance at a good future. But in the end, we all have the choices to make whether we are good or evil. These gangbangers have no positive value to society, irregardless of color, and personally I think should be killed without mercy or regard. Their entire philosophy is doing evil. Nothing better to me than when two or more gangbangers kill each other irregardless of the reason.

Time for the white wave to visit the hip hop joint and do some payback!
WTF is wrong with the white comunity?
This sh!t is going on all over the place and noone is killing these f**kers.
What “white community”?
You must have two, cause one would be well worn!
Perfect practice makes perfect.
I’ve got my own firing range but now it’s 15 below (actual) so I only get to dryfire my toys and reload all winter.
getting ready for the big show!
I hear ya.
“The fact is that no black society on earth has ever been a success. There were prosperous tribes and even kingdoms in Africa prior to the coming of the Europeans, but these were still hunter-gatherer tribes, not civilizations in the European or Asian sense. The pre-colonial tribes of Africa were more or less integrated into their various environments, yes, but despite the continent’s unbelievable bounty of water, fertile land and other natural resources, no real material or social progress was ever made by any social group in sub-Saharan Africa until outsiders came. Why?”
In the history of many hundreds of years, there have been Asian and European civilizations of size, achievement and note. But in Africa? And in Africa today? Various versions of corrupt and despotic regimes. Even worse than the current corrupt and despostic Obama regime.
The way 95 pct of blacks vote Democratic Party, one would think the blacks prefer the paternalistic, socialistic life of a plantation slave than freedom, which is what the Dem Party, if given full power, would impose on us all. (and at least half the whites vote as if they wish they were kept slaves or at least serfs on a plantation.
We would be acting stupidly, if we jumped to any conclusions here...
I wonder if this would be going on in downtown Houston for very long???
When I saw this was in Denver, I just kinda sat back and scratched muh head...
If this is a spreading trend in the black community, I wonder what the sentiment will be, when a victim of their criminal activity defends themselves and shoots one or more of these attackers to “stop” them???
I do not see a lot of preventative measures being implemented to curb this activity from spreading, yet if it was some racial hate group like aryans, or KKK getting everyones panties in a wad, the law would be all over that like stink on smelly stuff...
But then again, what do I know...
You have no idea how many black people agree with this statement. People still living in these urban war zones would cheer if someone came in and rounded up all the gang bangers.
It's only the hard-core, politically active left in these communities that keep the local politicians and law enforcement from cracking down on gangs with the requisite level of force to stomp out the scourge.
Black citizens groups have tried time and time again to get their local governments to effectively handle the gang problems in their areas. In response, politicians and LE officials have instituted new anti-gang procedures and divisions to combat the problem, but the hard left in those communities has ensured that they have no real teeth.
In turn, this has created a new phenomenon of "black flight" away from traditionally black neighborhoods.
Why?
I don’t know why. But I do know that whatever the reasons may be, native and diaspora Africans are simply not succeeding in the modern world.
Yes, we all know black people who have done well, and we hope that many more will follow their examples; but until we identify and address the root causes of black failure, whatever they may be, we are all in for more suffering and heartbreak.
I can't argue with any of your statements, and like you, I believe that until we can address the root causes of the chronic failure of black communities, we will suffer the consequences.
That being said, there are ways out for any black person who truly desires to slip the bonds of failure and misery. We all know what those are, so I won't re-state them.
Examples abound of individual black people who've escaped the legacy of degradation and hopelessness that is the lot of most blacks.
It can be done, but it takes personal initiative, and unyielding perseverance. It also takes a re-ordering of one's cultural perspective, which is perhaps one of the hardest steps to accomplish.
I agree completely. Assigning the motive of hate is completely unnecessary and, yes, I think unconstitutional. The idea of legislating such a thing is nonsense.
However, if the laws exist, and if such laws were constitutional, they should apply to anyone, not just a segment of the population. But, then, so should any health “care” legislation apply to everyone, and especially congrescritters.
“You have no idea how many black people agree with this statement. People still living in these urban war zones would cheer if someone came in and rounded up all the gang bangers.”
When I was a younger man, and more cocky, I used to buy distressed apartment complexes in poor neighborhoods. I bought them dirt cheap because they generally were rife with gangs and those wonderful things like prostitution and drug dealing they support. I made a bit of money by cleaning them out and setting up tough standards by which we rented based upon character. If you were twenty something and looked like a gangbanger or if the teenage child of a prospective tenant looked like a gangbanger we would not rent to them. It is legal to discriminate against folks who you reasonably deem would not fit in the “ambiance” of the community. Not on race, age, religion, etc. but you can by the type of person they appear to be. My rule for my managers were...if the person you are about to rent to was walking down the same sidewalk as your favorite grandmother at night and they scared her...turn them down.
Sometimes we would have to get the neighborhood involved in community watch programs we would set up.
It was scary work, but very rewarding financially as well as aesthetically. Just because people may be poor does not mean they cannot live in decent places that are well kept, safe, and with good service.
Now I am a semi-retired country gentleman who moved away from the state I did that business in as I made a few hard core enemies. But, I may move back someday as I think it has been long enough and I have little doubt most of the bad guys I had to deal with are dead or in prison probably.
“There’s got to be more to the problem of black failure than mere liberalism, however. Look at Africa: before colonialism, it was a place of tribalism, warfare, and poverty.”
My son, who is a historian would disagree with you. There were some mighty kingdoms in the past (medieval era) that were black. All nations were warlike pretty much and all had periods of great poverty.
Today we can look to nations like Ghana and see that once they throw off the yoke of socialism or dictatorship black nations can prosper. But, it is not fair to compare black African with America’s black populace. We have really messed up our black population with democrat bigotry that extends back to slavery and continues today with dependency, lack of whole family unit, education that is a joke, etc. I have noticed that white people or any ethnic group that lives in similar conditions have similar traits. Some of the greatest minds and most noble people in world history were black.

“Must be some sort of innate jungle tribal instinct just too difficult for their race to overcome”

That is not far from the most crass and inappropriate thing I have read on Free Republic since I joined - including the output of various trolls.
If that truly reflects your heartfelt attitude, in my opinion, you really need to do a lot of personal reflection, because you appear to have bought into the side-choosing, race-baiting, bitterly divisive rhetoric that the would-be puppeteers are mongering.
One could make that argument about that Gaels and/or Celts and the criminality of various sorts that went on for decades in Northern Ireland - committed often as not by one Irishman upon another, under the thinnest veil of Protestant versus Catholic.
I believe more firmly each day that, when Obama took office (even well before) it was never his true intention to be a “post-racial” President...never his principal interest or intention to act in a manner such as to unify any disparate minority groups with one another, nor with the whole of the mainstream of America. I believe he is among the most divisive of the “race-and-class warfare” marxist-socialist ‘democrats’ ever.
The worst thing we can do as Americans is allow him and those of his ilk to set the tenor of the discourse under which we hyphenate ouselves and allow their division and conquest of our Republic.
A.A.C.
Well my opinion comes from personal reflection my FRiend, and troll I am not, just look at my years of posting history. I haven't bought into anything but my own experiences and observations in and with black folk and white folk.
Violence within a race over religious differences or political differences as in our own Civil War is a lot different than this excessive random criminal violence that the Black race engages in.
LOL!
Checked out your FR page - you’ve played with some better toys than that cute little black popgun. Are you with the “Thundering Third”, or working on a contract basis?
Son of a recent roommate of mine is 3d ID, Bravo, MOS 033 mounted .50 cal., motto: “Accuracy through volume” (though he did pull a near sniper rating on his range skills...) and my wife’s nephew is also 3d ID, though at the moment, I cannot recall which company...I think it was Charlie or Delta
A.A.C.
I am not apologizing for any community of any colour, and I am also not calling you a troll.
While I agree that there are distinctions among differing types of violence, it is each individual within the community who should take responsibility for their own behaviour ultimately - and that is over the long term.
It is not liberal whitey or black liberals who shoulder all the blame, but it should not be denied that for decades, the marxists have been infiltrating every minority community in the US.
It is a documented part of the overall “strategery” of the avowed communists to create, and foster envy among classes and races, even among people of different belief systems - to divide them from one another with emnity, distrust, suspicion, to goad them into sporadic retaliatory acts of violence against one another, and to generally foment rebellion and anarchy as outgrowths of all the other moral degeneracies.
We have to remember who our real enemies are, and who are simply the tools in their hands, the “useful idiots” who aid their cause unknowingly.
Of course for safety’s sake, we also cannot expect people in full anarchy mode to stop their pillaging or whatever, to listen to us gently explain to them how they have been set up and played for fools.
When a community such as the American blacks have seen 2/3 of their babies aborted over the past 34 years, had their nuclear families destroyed - the fathers made to feel or be obsolete by the welfare nanny state, seen the staggering percentages of drug addiction, alcoholism and other social decays impacting them...consideration and compassion is in order, just not a suicidal variant.
Even now, the unemployment rate among younger black men is at 34.5% across the US. I honestly do not think the Congressional Black Caucus, or Obama care one damned bit about REALLY addressing themselves to that in a constructive way. It serves their purposes too well to interrupt a status quo that is worsening enough that it could produce a crisis - or at least a large group of unemployed, “disaffected” and easily angered and manipulated folks.
We have heard obama’s expert vernacular turned upon healthcare providers, banks, insurance companies, “the wealthy”...one demonization after another, and we know it is not accidental - nor ineffectual.
As conservative people we should do a better job of identifying the real perpetrators, and outing them for all to see, and “they” need to - as part of the larger American community - do more to try to understand it themselves, and to set and achieve higher standards for themselves.
Windflier talked specifically about his upbringing in this regard. He was among the fortunate who had family members unwilling to blindly accept lower standards, lesser effort, worse behaviour and unwilling to so easily seek to blame another for their challenges. But I think the results we see all across the land are indicative of how easy it is to fall into such traps.
Star Parker wrote an excellent and informative book about her experience transitioning from an ill-behaving, lazy non-working member of a government-dependent underclass...and turning herself into a living, breathing success story of a successful practicing Christian businesswoman. Her book title is evocative: “Pimps, Whores, and Welfare Brats”.
I recommend it.
