Excellent post.
In fact something like this MAY happen. Recall that the Norse originally settled Greenland as well as Iceland. Eventually the Greenland settlements were abandoned. Part of the reason may have been due to Inuit expansion into Greenland.
Your hopefully not closely examined acceptance of the collectivist chant “All cultures have positive aspects” disturbs me. While there is, theoretically speaking, some minor point about any culture which might be considered “positive”, reality and history shows all but the collectivism impaired that many cultures ARE inferior to America and Europe.
Islamic cultures are largely in the inferior catagory.
Unless, that is, if one accepts murder, rape, theft, and a host of abuses of women, starting with the female as being defined as chattel, to such specifically Islamic butcheries as the required citerectomy and excision of vaginal labia of Muslim women.
PS Those operations have been done, and still are being done, without any anesthesia, on fully conscious young women.
PPS Google the Muslims impaling a victim, which ends with the victim writhing on the stake.
Nice folks, those Muslims. Just as Presiden Bush said, - peaceful practioners of the “Religion of Peace”.
I was at work when he was attacked. We watched it on TV. We also were monitoring ( as part of the job) the all police tac frequencies.
Unit after unit was standing by all over the Los Angeles area in assigned positions, ready to go in and help...they were ordered to stay in position and do nothing until ordered otherwise.
Plenty of LEO were mad as could be and had plenty of comments regarding being ordered to do nothing.
City officials were cowards giving orders hoping to not inflame the situation. Not a bit willing to send in LEO and try to stop Dennys' attack.
Like doing nothing would keep rioting from spreading... DUH!
If anyone follows my posts, it's brief: nevermarxism.
“I have seen the Congressional record stating the goals of Communism. Unfortunately we are nearly there.
And...the video of the KGB defector is chilling.”
Yes it is chilling. My only guess (and my only hope) is that the communists, both overt and covert, have underestimated and do not understand on a fundamental level the inner strengths of our system and the power of freedom.
AMEN. My ancestors were Vikings. What can I say?

“Disagree. Stockholm syndrome. That, and the fact that Mr. Denny was brain-damaged by the attack.”
His forgiveness gives no hint that it is the result of brain damage. Pope John Paul II forgave - in person - his would be assassin and he was not brain damaged in the least in 1981. The Stockholm syndrome applies to hostages - not assault victims.
“His attack remains, like the Goldman-Simpson murder, an unjusticed travesty.”
True. And yet he forgave his attackers.
The MSM must stand indicted and indeed they were not. For the few, very few shots of Reginald Denny that were shown, had a stark contrast. There were the hundreds and hundreds of segments of the unfortunate beating of the man during his arrest. Even this was weighted by the MSM, by absolutely cutting out the kicking and violence by this man.
As you will know, when the police officers were initially acquitted, there were deaths and property damage. The MSM got off free, for their deliberate inflaming of a bad scene.
Hyenas and Jackals.
It was a black man that was arrested for driving a motorcycle dangerously.
I have forgotten his name. Denny was the victim of the riots that followed the acquittal of police officers in the first instance.
Denny cried and hugged the mother of "Football Williams" one of the thugs. I wonder where Williams is today?
True. And yet he forgave his attackers.
I note your interesting take on the business of Rodney King, and the victim of a "payback" attack. Like so many cases, the recipient of a revenge attack is likely the LAST person deserving. Reginald Denny virtually lost all sense of HIS own dignity. This is hard for me to say.
Damian "Football" Williams, the man who kicked Denny in the head, today is serving 46 years for killing a drug dealer. Working class myself, I will never understand a man who gets a break and then blows it.
Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon were close enough to be mutually understandable when the Vikings raided England. When forces of the last English King, Harold II (Goodwin) faced those of his brother Tostig and Norwegian King Harald II (Hardrada) at Stamford Bridge in 1066, everyone understood each other’s curses. And the English battle line chanting “Ut, Ut” is still understandable in modern English.

Neither will I.
“its hard to be proud of European culture........especially since it has contributed so much to America’s greatness. “
yes, Europe gave the US the opportunity to show its greatness during WW1 and WW2.
I'd go so far as to say it's impossible to be "proud" of European culture, or any culture really. Since no one person is responsible for creating a culture, no one can fairly take "pride" in it.
But wouldn't you agree that there is much to admire in European culture?
The motorcyclist was named McDuffy, if I remember correctly.
He was beaten to death with six cell Mag Light flashlights. Thereafter, the Miami cops called such flashlights “McDuffy sticks”.
Sensitive chaps, weren’t they.
Decades later, though, I always use that name for my Mag Light when using it on field trips. The students always ask why that name - alas, it does appear they don’t have any idea of local history.
I then always add in a short talk about why the smaller the police force, or governmental unit in general, the better. One can reach the Miami police leadership fairly easily.
Trying to reach the Federal police agency heads is an exercise in futility.
But wouldn’t you agree that there is much to admire in European culture?
not after WW2. Germany and Austria were supposedly at the height of cultural sophistication and then gave us the Holocaust and Nazi domination. And France was always a joke. I’m supposed to admire a bunch of effete elitists that fold under the slightest pressure?
I want the simple American spirit. America is *real*.

I am glad to have your post. For it was two awful and regrettable cases that sparked riots. I was in error with Rodney King's mode of transport and I confused it with the Arthur McDuffy (McDuffie) case. King was driving a car when he was pulled over. This was in the Los Angeles area in 1991.
The McDuffy case must have stuck in my mind, for in 1980 in Dade County, Florida, this insurance salesman and ex-Marine was on his motor cycle. He died shortly after his violent arrest when pulled over. Now the riots that followed killed 12 persons. Sadly there was not a prayer of justification for the law here. Perhaps there is the other side though- I have not heard it.
The King riots saw 53 killed and a billion dollars in damages. I believe nearly a year later on the court verdict letting the police off.
