"Always here when we needed him. Really nice man," said Chef Rick Tyler of Cafe Beignet.

The Thach (correct spelling) Weave was created by airman John Thach to counter the superior agility of the Japanese Zero. Basically, it consists of a pilot and his wingman turning in towards each other. After crossing, they would repeat the maneuver . As a result, you could constantly watch each other’s rear. It was very effective and continued to be used even after the war. I’m not a fighter pilot myself, so if I didn’t explain it correctly please correct me.
“In the United States in 2005, 37,460 white females were sexually assaulted or raped by a black man, while between zero and ten black females were sexually assaulted or raped by a white man.
What this means is that every day in the United States, over one hundred white women are raped or sexually assaulted by a black man.”
The sad part is I have had numerous discussions on crime with black people at work and they seem to think just the reverse of statistics like these. It is pathetic as far as I’m concerned; I realize many people are ignorant or self-deluded. I think a lot of people have been brainwashed in the black community through the media and TV and just pure nonsense in their communities to believe that white people are out to get black people and committing crimes of every sort. Sometimes I will say something but because these people are in the same general office I just accept their point of view and change the topic or walk away. Insane world.

They caught one of the thugs.
