1) The statute; 2) Some of the most pertinent facts:

http://uscode.house.gov/usc.htm

18 USC Sec. 2101

Riots: (a) Whoever travels in interstate or foreign commerce or uses any facility of interstate or foreign commerce, including, but not limited to, the mail, telegraph, telephone, radio, or television, with intent -

(1) to incite a riot; or

(2) to organize, promote, encourage, participate in, or carry on a riot; or

(3) to commit any act of violence in furtherance of a riot; or

(4) to aid or abet any person in inciting or participating in or carrying on a riot or committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot; and who either during the course of any such travel or use or thereafter performs or attempts to perform any other overt act for any purpose specified in subparagraph (1), (2), (3), or (4) of this subsection - Shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

-----------------------------

Here's SOME of the stuff that was communicated to those at Saturday's MillionsForReparations.COM demonstration in D.C., not to mention to folks not in attendance by way of the media, and probably by cellphone and the like:

"I want to go up to the closest white person and say, 'You can't understand this, it's a black thing,' and then slap him, just for my mental health." -Charles Barron, a member of the New York City Council

"Remember Inglewood, California!" [not far from where the Rodney riots took place a decade ago]. "The next time we come here, we're gonna take over the U.S. Treasury." -Louis Farrakhan

"Pass reparations, or pass the ammunition." -President of the new black panther party

"Black power! Black power! BLACK POWER!" -practically every speaker at that Reparations rally.

I'm sure that absolutely NONE of this had any impact on what transpired in Cincinnati soon thereafter??? How about on future civil unrest? If all the alleged culprits were instead caucasian, wouldn't there be some very busy lawyers and potential defendants right now?

What with the middle east, islamic terrorism, etc.

Were any of us Freepers in Los Angeles a decade ago, or in Watts, CA. during the 1960's, or in any other previously riot-affected cities such as Washington D.C. or Chicago? It's not exactly a pleasant thing to have to be concerned with, is it...

He blamed the melee on the large number of unsupervised youth at the late night concert

I'd have thought he would assign blame to the 'past generations of victims of black slavery which, although has no reasonabe rationale to do so, compounds the vast anger in the youth of today.'

Perhaps there should be whites rioting. Can you imagine what would happen if a white said things like this? I'd like to slap Mr. Barron silly....it's a white thing.

"Remember Inglewood, California!"
????
Someone needs to help me out on this one...

Inglewood IS mostly a black community, it is not TOO far from the part of Normandy in S. Central where the riots were filmed in their most virulent expression...
[they actually started at Parker Center (downtown) when a bunch of largely white protesters lit a guard shack on fire]
The riots were almost all across the metropolitan area...
certanly not only in Inglewood.

And, most residents would resent any other implication.

Calypso Louie might have been referring to the 16 year old who got punched (on video, again) during an arrest for allegedly grabbing one of the Cop's noogies.

African-American celebration tainted by violence

Correction: should read, "African-Americans Celebrate Violence"

This couldn't have happened

Farrakan's Million Man March several years back changed the Black community for the better

You forgot to mention this quote by one of the members of the New Black Panther Party

"We are here today to pin the tail on the HONKEY"

LOL....Go ahead and make my day, panther. I don't think he realizes just how outgunned he and his gang of morons are.

Is there some particular reason that the article had to be linked instead of just posted? Just wondering...JFK
