Sacramento Bee ^ | September 28, 2016 | JULIE WATSON and BRIAN MELLEY

The fatal police shooting of a Ugandan refugee who drew something from his pocket and extended his hands in a "shooting stance" happened about a minute after officers in a San Diego suburb arrived at the scene where a mentally unstable man was reportedly walking in traffic, a police spokesman said Wednesday.

There ARE some Africans there, but usually they are bouncers or flyer distributors for strip shows, burlesques, etc.

Shady and semi-shady Japanese outfits sometimes use them cuz customers who often naturally want to avoid confrontations have those sensitivities 500% sharper if the confronter is really black and big:

“I want this unexpectedness to GO AWAY”

Usually they’re in Shibuya, Roppongi, a few near Ikebukuro.

About 90% of them speak just a few Japanese phrases.

You will encounter them almost NOWHERE outside of big-city entertainment quaters.

Open borders. Multiculturalism.

Both are deadly.

So we are allowing African refugees with mental problems to immigrate to the United States.

Heck, we'll even elect them president!

My daughter has friends in Uganda. I don’t think it is easy for them to immigrate here.

Aside from seeking attention, I fail to see a point to that statement.
Legitimate useful legal immigrants from every country outside the Americas have totally been shut out by the illegal criminals south of the border.

The numbers of refugees appear on track to grow and each refugee is offered a placement grant of $1,850 from the Department of State. This includes: pre-arrival, reception, initial housing food, clothing, referral services and social programs. The benefit eligibility are for those refugees who have been in the U.S. for up to three months.

Refugees needing cash assistance can get it through Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). This is temporary financial assistance and social services for those eligible low-income refugees with dependent children. Cash assistance for refugees who do not qualify for TANF can also be obtained through Refugee Cash Assistance. This is available for those in U.S. for up to 8 months.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is also an option for incoming refugees and those who settled in the U.S. for up to nine years. This is cash is cash assistance for those low-income individuals who may be elderly, blind, or disabled.

Refugees who’ve been in the United States up to seven years are also offered medical financial assistance through Medicaid as well as through the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). Otherwise, Refugee Medical Assistance is available for up to eight months for those individuals who are not eligible for Medicaid.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is made available to refugees for up to nine years while social services for refugees — including job training, placement, and retention for those settled in the U.S — are available for up to five years.

“there ARE some Africans there...”

I was there years ago (staying at the New Otani) where both the SF 49er’s and the LA Rams were staying in preparation for a FB game in Yoyogi Stadium. I came down for breakfast with a sportscaster from the SF media and an elevator full or 300lb+ Black SF 49er linemen. When the door opened on the ground floor the little Japanese girl “greeter” bowed as the door opened then got this “holy $hit” look on her face as she looked up. I had several Japanese business associates ask me if “all Blacks” were that big!

The only thing that matters here is that cops once again gun down a black man.

They're probably moved to the front of the line by our mentally-disturbed African President.

He probably knew Obama from Kenya.

If your homosexual and have AIDs you get to jump in front of the immigration line because Amnesty International claims they are persecuted in their home country.

Yes, this is what we are admitting into this country.

Islam is by definition a major cause of mental problems.

Yeah. There is a real epidemic of violence between black men and police. There absolutely is, but you know that, right?

The point is has immigration been loosened for all nations now?

Why do you have to be obnoxious?

This story has evolved quite a bit since this morning. First it was simply “cops gun down unarmed black man.” Much later we find out that the guy was in a shooting stance, aiming at the cops. And now we find out he’s a Moslem refugee. God knows what we’ll find out in a few more hours.

I’ll never understand the knee-jerk desire to underplay every incident.

I understand it perfectly. It is the same reason, when 10 black 19 year old people kick the crap out of some unfortunate 68 year old white guy, the news reports say some teenagers caused a disturbance, and they are investigating what caused the “altercation”. No mention of them being young, black, feral men who carried out a racially motivated attack, because that might make the black kids angry (Read Colin Flaherty’s book “Don’t Make the Black Kids Angry”)
