The Racial Violence that Dare Not Speak Its Name

Recent flash mob violence has alerted Americans to a troubling wave of sadistic racial mayhem. A notable outbreak occurred in Denver in 2009, setting a pattern of delay, denial, and silence. Now that same scourge has returned to Denver, among many other places.

In 2009, a four month wave of mayhem broke out in Denver. There were at least 26 violent robberies committed by two black gangs. The victims were -- without exception -- whites and Hispanics. When the dust settled from that initial spate of violence, victims were left with injuries ranging from a skull fracture to broken noses and shattered eye sockets. The local Denver ABC news affiliate summarized the crime spree:

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.

That is not the language of a conservative commentator; it's simply a mainstream local news report from an American city that has witnessed widespread racial violence.

The first-hand accounts and surveillance videos of the 2009 attacks are shocking. These weren't sucker punches or fair fights -- the attackers swing madly and rapidly with a viciousness that can only come from blind cruelty. The victims, who can be seen in interviews, were kind-looking, ordinary people. The victims were mostly either gay or straight couples. They didn't provoke the attacks in any conceivable way. The attackers sometimes fractured skulls, or broke eye sockets, and left one victim in a coma. There were a total of 26 attacks from July 17 to Nov. 17.

Why not just be honest and rename
the DOJ as

the DEPARTMENT OF RACE WAR

‘_________move out of the ghetto and into other places.’

Reminds me of a family I know who moved from a state some years ago where they perceived the gangs in the city heading their way in the suburbs.
They moved not too far from Denver!
To be honest, there were a few reasons for the move.
And crime was one of them.

Since then there’s been all kinds of mayhem there, including a few years ago a relative’s woman cousin was murdered in her shop (not solved yet).
I shopped there just weeks before!

And Columbine, where this family’s young sons were in a near-by school lock-down, not knowing what had happened.
Years later their daughter’s school was in lock-down because of a man in the neighborhood brandishing a gun.
And I think there were other lockdowns there.
Totally middle-class neighborhood.

All sorts of crime! It has NO bounderies. . .

Wrights church during a closed door meeting, where she addressed a group, and told them in plain English "Whats this about Black on Black crime ? Carry it into the White community ! " This attitude goes hand & hand with the way the media, politicians, and the Justice Dept. handle these things. (At one time her speech was on You Tube.)

Is this true?

That is one reason the 2nd amendment has FR full support. If you are going down, you may as well take as many as you can with you. You might have more ammunition.

I don’t go into Philadelphia with out Mr.’s Smith and Wesson.

A "nice" neighborhood that is a short bus ride/walk/train ride or heck even a thank of gas away from "bad neighborhoods" can quickly become a "bad neighborhood".
