Rioting black youths stun Austin, Texas
American Thinker ^ | 10/30/2013

Posted on 10/30/2013 5:44:22 AM PDT by Altura Ct.

It was a spasm of violence that stunned residents: some 200 black youths raising hell - what police called a full-blown riot - in Austin, Texas.

Angry black youths inexplicably converged by the Highland Mall, near an iconic haunted house attraction, and walked atop parked cars, fought among themselves, and hurled rocks at some 30 arriving police officers. Several people, including one officer, suffered minor injuries. Later, police said so many squad cars were need that the department was unable to provide adequate 911 emergency coverage to the rest of Austin. There were no reports of black-on-white violence, to be sure, as has often occurred at similarly gatherings across the country. The violence was unprecedented in hip and liberal Austin and, police later said, inexplicable. From America's small towns to urban metropolises, black mob violence has been on the rise in recent years, despite President Barack Obama's pledge, as the first black president, to bring hope and change to a post-racial America. Some of the violence has involved rowdy black youths simply raising hell, coming together in threatening flash mobs or converging for events like Miami's Urban Beach Week; yet many gatherings of black mobs have involved vicious and unprovoked attacks on whites, such as one that recently occurred in Brooklyn, New York. Ten black youths blocked a white couple's car while shouting racial slurs, then beat up the husband and pulled the wife by hair onto the street.

Author and journalist Colin Flaherty has chronicled the trend of black mob violence in his book "White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America." Austin had escaped this trend until last Saturday night, when some 200 black youths rampaged near an iconic haunted-house attraction, the House of Torment, at the nearly empty Highland Mall.

Violence is not “wrong”, per se. See my tag line.

I live less that a 1/4 mile from Highland Mall and this is the first I have heard of this.

Austin is on the Colorado, just not the Colorado that runs through the Grand Canyon.

Why in the world is THIS image:

Looks more like the Anti-Woody to me.... kind of a shame, since it looks like a nice rack underneath.

There were no reports of black-on-white violence,

That’s because many whites in Texas are carrying....

It wasn’t you, I just replied to you, that is why I SAID it wasn’t to you. It was someone else in the thread and I didn’t want to call them out personally, just wanted to mention it.
sorry.

First ALL we Austinites have heard of this.

Media Blackout in Austin - hard hammer down.

Don’t want the lilywhite taxpayers worried that ALL APD units were deployed to the riot such that no 911 calls were sent units, this is the very last thing Austin liberals want to hear... the underclass wants to eat you and the ‘protectors’ don’t really consider you a priority.

Saxet Austin should make a FORTUNE if they play this right at the next meet/

Although I don’t actually live in Austin, I’m in one of it’s “burbs”.

The first I heard of this was here on FR.

I didn’t think too much about it, because I don’t watch tv or read newspapers. I get most of my news from FR-—.Once I read about it here, I just figured it was the talk of the town in Austin, and was on tv over and over again.

Guess I was wrong.......

"Why do I get the feeling that these are ‘coordinated’ riots?"

Probably because they use their obama-phones and social media to coordinate them.

re: Those Cleveland suburbs

Mayfield Heights and a few other towns near there are just south of Cleveland's east side and have a lot of low-acreage high density housing. They're adjacent to a part of Cleveland that has next to no retail or commercial....they've suffered.

The area between Cleveland and Akron seems to have fared much better.
