The looting of a BP service station and subsequent attacks at nearby Reservoir Park Sunday was a troublesome event that soured the normally buoyant Fourth of July weekend and raised a number of questions. Among them: Why didn't Milwaukee police connect the dots faster? And where were the parents of these young people?
Surveillance video taken from the BP service station shows clear pictures of dozens of youths stealing snacks, sodas and other merchandise. Some of them may have participated later in the beatings and robberies at the park. Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said Wednesday that several parents have contacted police to turn in their children, and Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn said one person saw himself on the video and turned himself in. That's the responsible thing to do. We urge other people with information about the incidents to come forward.
Sunday's mob-like activity was similar to another isolated incident earlier this year at Mayfair Mall in Wauwatosa. In the January incident, officials had to shut down the mall after groups of unruly youths began looting and fighting.
Poverty is no excuse for bad behavior. There are a number of single parents who overcome long odds to raise children who respect the law and other people. Strong parenting and positive role models help kids make good decisions. Programs to keep them occupied can help. So can summer jobs, because they provide a paycheck and instill a sense of responsibility. Responsible kids don't usually get caught up in such attacks.
Some witnesses and residents questioned whether race played a role in the looting and beatings. Witnesses say the attacks were unprovoked and that the victims were white and the attackers were African-American. But we'd agree with Flynn, who said crime is colorblind. Flynn also downplayed the notion that police tried to minimize the severity of the incidents. Flynn said that initially police weren't fully informed of the details.
OK, so now that Flynn has the information - complete with a video - we would like to see his department work with the community to prevent future incidents such as this one, which the chief so accurately called "barbaric," "disturbing" and "outrageous."
make up a fake one and nick nolte’s mugshot photo as your own.
that’s what I do.
We had a similar situation a few weeks ago involving an illegal alien who was killed while working on a bridge restoration project funded by the State. Their closing the comments on that story only resulted in that story being discussed in EVERY other story, regardless of connection.
probably just a case of leftists run companies helping support leftists run companies.
It would appear that there’s a race war going on in America that we’re just waking up to.
Probably...I saw an article here a few weeks ago on facebook losing a fairly significant number of users, AND one on China trying to buy quite a bit of stock in facebook,AND on employers requiring applicants to submit their facebook account info so their comments can be assessed for “racism/sexism/fattism/homophobia/ xenophobia/ God only knows whatismobia”.(According to the Daily Mail repost here, a man had his hiring rescended because wrote (from memory) : “This is America, they (immigrants) need to speak English” . What a shocking sentiment . /s) If enough people leave facebook, just like they did the dying my space, I wonder how hard it’ll be for news sites to go back to the older way, of having people create log ins for their site?
probably just dinosaur media papers trying to hitch their wagon to the “newfangled” tech of facebutt.
instead, people will probably just skip their silly leftard newspaper websites altogether and hasten their inevitable demise.
I think you are wrong, I think blacks and illegals are in for tough times in the years ahead. Eventually orgs such as the old KKK will spring up and mass killings will occur. I am not advocating such actions but I do believe they will occur if the media and LEOs continue to cover up for the criminals.
Blast from the past. Does anybody not know some women who the Judge accosted in an elevator ?
Undisputable and irrefutable fact...”BLACKS COMMIT MOST OF THE VIOLENT CRIME IN THIS COUNTRY”...By virtue of quoting “FACT”, I’m a racist...GO FIGURE!!
You think I’m wrong. Could be, though I doubt it! In the main, whites want a life of UNDISTURBED games, eating, drinking, drugging, copulating, evacuating their bowels accompanied by restful naps and lots of night time sleep. As an extra throw in a gentle flow of governmental cash and people feel paradise is achieved. There is no strength or severity which is necessary for our survival.
We Brady Street Hippies used to sit in his courtroom just to watch the fireworks!
Gonna send you a private message.
“Eventually people will have to either settle with blacks or surrender to whatever they want. I fear that surrender is the only option; the reason being, whites do not have the physical and moral strength to resist. Whites would rather die than fight. As Spengler said “die to provide amusement for others.””
Bitter truths you point out.
But — bitter as they may be — they are no less true for being so.
The white folks pretty much already know what they have to do to get things back under control. But that doesn’t mean that they have the intestinal fortitude to do those things.
So — what will happen in the end?
I think that ultimately, we will see mass migrations in North America that eventually create new “Euro homelands” where American Euros will again constitute “un-challengeable” majorities. They will exist both to the north and the south of the Canadian border.
But — if that occurs — I predict that these new homelands WILL NOT be part of the current United States of America or of Canada...
Whether the breakup will be peaceful or not, I can’t say. I CAN say that Euro-conservatives would prefer to “go peacefully on their own”. It is _the left_ that will resort to deadly force to PREVENT them from leaving. We know what that means.
Either this is going to happen, or American Euros will become but a shrinking minority in the emerging “brown America” (as has already happened in California). And they won’t “enjoy” their newly-aquired “minority status”, either, but instead will be ever-more persecuted as their numbers shrink.
Think of the situation of the Jews in Europe in the 1930’s, and you can juxtapose that against the future of Am-Euros in the late twenty-first century on the North American continent....
I won’t be around to see it. But some here will...
Just sayin’...
