Black mob violence hits Nordstroms
WND.com ^ | June 22, 2012 | Colin Flaherty

Black mob violence has taken on a new note in Portland, Ore. It’s not the unsuspecting passersby or the corner convenience store that’s the target here.

It’s Nordstroms.

Just weeks ago, a group of 10-15 hoodie-wearing blacks allegedly stole clothing and raced out of the store. Their actions were captured on video.

So far, the evidence makes it looks like just one more of the hundreds of episodes of racial lawlessness that have taken place in more than 60 cities over the last three years.

But on a local forum, the reaction gave the situation a truly unique flavor:

“As an employee of a Portland area Nordstroms I have to wonder why you think that we care?” said Jason Handleman. “Things like this make work interesting and I hold no ill-will toward anyone in this group. Our security personnel spend more time concerned with employees than clientele, and honestly most employees, at my store, would not help them if they were in an altercation.”

A Nordstroms manager did not respond to a request for comment.

But other Portland commenters joined in the forum. From an anonymous participant, “Rich white high school students wait, and grow up to flash mob our economy and legally manipulate our Congress with unregulated lobbying. They are taught by their rich white parents that they are helping grow the economy through deregulation and small government.

“Funny, the Oregonian does not report on the rich old white guys who flash mob and are hijacking our economy and schools. It’s well reported in many respected and less corporate newspapers: Guardian, BBC, Aljazeera, Le Monde, and Democracy Now.”

Nordstrom is located in the Lloyd Center mall, the site of two violent episodes over the last two years.

And this guy still has a job? Why?

Because he’s a member of a “protected minority”???/s;)

Some people are just waiting to be swept over by a sunami; as they gulp their last breath we suspect they might sense their error...

I’ve decided it’s time for white flash mobs to invade black establishments.

Wait...................they don’t have any.

Not to be gross or anything, but start shooting the hoodie wearing little bastards and all this crap will stop. All you have to do is shoot one and the rest will scatter, cowards all.

Sorry if my frustration is showing, but this crap happens all to often and nothing ever happens.

It might take 10 or 15 minutes if it came to that.

Fatal funnels and whatnot.

Let’s hope and pray we don’t have to go there.

With a name like Jason Handleman, I’d say his protected minority status is “white upper-middle-class spoiled brat” who majored in political science and is clerking at Nordstroms because he’s too unprepared for any job above menial.

Stupid on more than one level. This wasn’t an “altercation.”

Nordstroms IS big on trying extremely hard to please the customer. OK, fine for them. But I’d draw the line at shoplifting.

I hear you, but most malls ban weapons, and as private property, they are allowed to do so. I am not allowed to carry in most malls in Oregon, even though I have an Oregon CHL. Also, unless one of the punks pulled a weapon and stopped to approach and threaten you, you would most certainly go to prison for using any deadly force against them.

As someone who’s worked in the ‘rag trade’ for a number of years......you’re NOT far off the mark. A LOT of them ‘trust fund (liberal) babies’. Working at ‘Nordies’ (say that with a lock-jaw) is a prime spot.

An OWS wannabe. His future is not at all bright ... the hoodie vermin will not give a hoot in hell that he bows to the racist crap. They will slaughter him where he stands when they’re sent to do so.

Ha! Portland, Oregon? No sympathies at all. They flat out deserve what they get. You go hoodie wearers. Steal everything you can from those gullible artsy-fartsy socialist dweebs and burn the rest! That’s what they want so that is what they should get. F’em.

Jason Handleman will care when the next flash mob decides they want to take his iPhone or his Vespa as well as his employer’s property. Or maybe when one of his new buddies decides to break his jaw just for fun, as brave flash mobsters are wont to do. And, of course, when his employer decides that the cost of doing business in that location is too high, he may also care then.

But it would stop the problem. (Understand and just having a mental joyful moment.)

If I recall correctly, Lloyd Center was the first enclosed mall in the country.

Portland as one of the whitest cities in the nation is a target rich environment for flash mobbing. Detroit must be going through flash mob frustration. No crackers or chain stores to flash mob.

Lloyd Center is an area I will not go to ...and I wouldn’t have said that 20 years ago.

the class warfare is thick. Thanks Obama. The only incentive you encourage is hate and stealing.
