CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Police arrested two men Friday morning after they attempted to rob a scrap yard on Quincy Avenue.

Two pair tried to rob Advanced Iron & Metal in the 7000 block of Quincy Avenue about 11 a.m. They fired guns several times at an employee, grazing his stomach. The injured man returned fire, hitting one suspect twice in the leg, according to a news release for the Cleveland Police Department.

The men fled on foot. Police arrested the injured suspect at the corner of Quincy and East 69th Street. He was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center.

The second suspect was arrested near the scrap yard.

Probably only one pair of robbers, but it is hard to tell from the story.

I guess a thirty-eight beats two pairs.

I think it is a media dodge to avoid identifying criminals with any particular race. Censorship if you please! Here where I live they just grabbed a mob of seven robbers that had been operating for a while. They would not give the names due to "the sensitive nature of the ongoing investigation an increasingly common phrase." It was in the black part of town.

The media has recognized that even though they stopped reporting the race of criminal arrestees people were picking up the bizarre spellings; i.e. "Taliessha," etc. etc.

The coalition that is just coming into power is frightened that is why the rule is developing not to identify black assailants. People make laws and rules against that which they fear.

Ironically, this behavior is starting to have unintended consequences; if you don’t see the race, picture, or name of a suspect or criminal in the media, you can assume that they aren’t white.

Agreed. The Germans under the NAZI’s and the Russians under the Communists became quite adept at “reading between the lines.” This default by the MSM may provide an opportunity for some enterprising individual to gather news about the ever increasing crimes against whites and publish a blog. By hiding the complete identity of the criminals the news media is revealing their fear of a backlash. Crime reporting will eventually be reduced to date, time, location and type of crime. The only exception will be for those instances where a crime is committed by a white, then we will be treated to descriptions of eye color, hair color, skin complexion, photographs, life history etc. Look what is happening with the killer in Norway racial description, photograph etc.

And, oh yes - “Right Wing Christian Fundamentalist”. Not to worry, they will have that one etched across our foreheads.
