The occasion was the St. Judes Sweet Corn Festival on Friday night. Up to 200 black people were rampaging through the fair, knocking over strollers -- with babies in them -- destroying property, fighting, creating mayhem, terrorizing neighbors, and of course, attacking police.
One paper got it right, the Cedar Rapids Defender. A few excerpts:
There was an air of violence at the St. Jude Sweet Corn Festival Saturday night in Cedar Rapids.
What happened next was described as a nightmare and pure chaos by those at the scene. The event attracted mass hordes of teenagers, some claiming to be from Black Lives Matter, loitering about, bickering with rival gangs and threatening violence.
A police officer attempting to detain a teenage youth, was subsequently ambushed by dozens of kids, who kicked and stomped, beating him on the ground. The officer who was assaulted, luckily, suffered only minor injuries. Police announced they had detained six juveniles on charges of disorderly conduct and assault on a peace officer.
About 150 teenagers were seen running towards the fighting as the police fought back against the mob. The teens had been a disturbance all night as there are reports of racially motivated assaults and items being thrown at police.
The words Black Lives Matter came across the CR police scanner according to our overnight crime reporter.
One innocent victim was elbowed, stepped on and kicked during the stampede.
The rest of the media in Cedar Rapids stuck to the usual script of groups of racially ambiguous children doing all sorts of bad things for no reason whatsoever, other than that is just kids blowing off some steam.
Remember Rorke’s Drift.
I meant to remind Freepers that Milwaukee’s Mayor, Tom Barrett, was attacked by a thug at our State Fair a number of years ago. Of course, this was before the BLM mayhem he’s dealing with now, but you’d THINK a personal beat-down would’ve changed his tune. They do say a Conservative is a Liberal who’s been mugged!

I didn’t know it was this bad.
The lie fed to the MSM is that "reporting causes violence". Reporting does NOT cause black violence. Black rage is a result of the liberal culture of dependency inflicted on the black community.

This is what you get when you tolerate gangs of Blacks acting like thugs. They thuggish take over and destroy and intimidate and cowardice only encourages them.
Perhaps if some adults allowed them to be trapped, then beat them within inches of their lives, this crap would stop. Meet violence with superior firepower and overwhelming violence. That is what they understand.
Talking civilly to a rabid dog never ends well. You need to speak to animals in a language that they are capable of understanding. These people do not comprehend civil discussion.
Time to just start shooting to kill.
Like it’s going to cause MORE violence than is already happening?
These wrist slap measures are NOT working.

But, then who, in his right mind, would want to live in Mexico?
Norman Rockwell has left the fair.
