(WI) Scare at State Fair: witnesses describe mobs, including some claiming racially-charged attacks
WTMJ-4 Milwaukee ^ | 8/3/2011 | By Jay Sorgi and the WTMJ News Team

Posted on 08/05/2011 5:12:57 AM PDT by sbMKE

WEST ALLIS - Witnesses tell Newsradio 620 WTMJ and TODAY'S TMJ4 of a mob of young people attacking innocent fair-goers at the end of the opening night of State Fair, with some callers claiming a racially-charged scene.

Milwaukee Police confirmed there were assaults outside the fair.

Witnesses' accounts claim everything from dozens to hundreds of young black people beating white people as they left State Fair Thursday night.

"It looked like they were just going after white guys, white people," said Norb Roffers of Wind Lake in an interview with Newsradio 620 WTMJ. He left the State Fair Entrance near the corner of South 84th Street and West Schlinger Avenue in West Allis.

"They were attacking everybody for no reason whatsoever."

"It was 100% racial," claimed Eric, an Iraq war veteran from St. Francis who says young people beat on his car.

The left has found the perfect vehicle to live out their sick fantasies of using the power of the state to punish their ideological opponents.

You have a group that will willingly inflict said punishment with impunity. Even further, they can use the power of the state to further punish anyone that resists or fights back.

goes into effect Nov. 1.

I’m betting their CCW law includes the usual laundy list of places you cannot carry and probably includes the State Fair grounds (if it is anything like MN’s)

It is a state fair. By this time of night the farm boys are either at the horse barn getting drunk or in the hotel.

Rounds bails are cheaper to make than square.

Miss the old square bails though. Maybe miss bailing hay period.

“I might be able to go with the Remington, but the Benelli would blow my entire firearms budget for about two whole years.”

True, and while I like the semi, 4+1 is pretty skimpy.

I am assuming the Marine/Army version of the Benelli (also M4) has a tube extender to get it to 7+1, but I don’t know.

The idea being able to pop off 8 double alt rounds in 5-6 seconds appeals to me greatly.

Within just the last two minutes, just after the close of Rush’s show, I heard a snippet about this story on ABC radio news. It quoted someone as saying that it was a “mob scene” and that 24 “teens” had been arrested.

No mention of any shared physical traits of the perpetrators.

Maybe Obama should have these 300 “youths” over to the White House for a beer summit.

I hadn’t thought about that, but you are right. It could get pretty ugly if/when Obama loses.

This is an extension of the left’s desire to use the power of the state to punish (beat, torture, kill) their ideological opponents.

Like people who have vicious dogs - the people themselves don't want to sully their hands by assaulting others directly, so they have biting or barking dogs to cause the harm.

Bring it.

This racist crap has been one-way, and simmering for decades.

Let’s get it over with.

We are divided, it's a fact of life. We always have been: all that "colorblind" crap was just unicorn skittle sh*t and rainbow pie. Make-believe phoney baloney plastic banana bedtime stories for a gullible and credulous generation. MLK's own people killed his dream. Now they want to eat ours.

If this goes on you will see just how divided we really are.

I probably didn't state what I meant very clearly. I grew up in a city neighborhood that is now the location of plenty of homicides. I can't walk down the street there anymore. We have an ~50% illiteracy rate in Detroit, and the percentage of births that are ‘out of wedlock’ in many US cities approaches 70-80%. Worse, we can't talk about these realities openly and honestly because these issues are so shrouded by leftist propaganda and cries of ‘racism’.

I get that. I also know, irrespective of what the MSM and cocktail liberals would like you to believe, that there is a seething distrust (at best) and hatred within many in the black community against whites. Partially this is our fault, because we let the ‘haters’ on the left get away with promoting resentment and false ideas of white suppression for decades now, without the swift and definitive slap-down that these accusations, and those who advanced them, deserved. Every time they put forth the now tired lines about white suppression of blacks and were not refuted, the perceived legitimacy of these claims grew in society as a whole. That led us to where we are now, a place in time at assumed white guilt and perpetual black outrage is rampant.

My point is that there are conservatives of every racial and cultural stripe who are also afraid of what is happening, and they don't feel safe either. The dividing line between us is not race, but ideology. I don't want to give any of those on the left any openings to further advance their ‘divide and conquer’ approach. We should be pointing out that black on white aggression is increasing, not decreasing, and that the ideological underpinnings of this are from the left, not the right.

If you’re not actually in immediate danger of your life, is it worth shooting the bastards or even flashing the gun and risking prison and loss of ALL 2nd Amendment rights?

Nope. Local law is firmly on the side of the thugs in this case.

My friend, I totally understand what you meant. You’re just being “the Good Guy” - which is what most of us are anyway. You’re watching something, in horror, as it unfolds, and trying to rationalize it, as any sane person WOULD do.

The problem is, the other side doesn’t CARE. That mob coming at you can’t be reasoned with, it can’t be intellectualized away, and it won’t be bargained with either. They see YOU as the personae of everything they hate, and they are going to take that rage out on you at that moment.

You have three choices:
1. Run away if you can. Likely, they catch you (unacceptable).
2. Submit to the beating and possible murder (unacceptable).
3. Shoot the loudest, most aggressive motherf’er amongst them right in the face the second his hands come near you, and then move to the next until they cease their hostile behavior, or you’re dead yourself. Or if lacking a firearm (you SHOULDN’T be if you live in a State that recognizes your right to defend yourself) you grab whatever is handy and shove it right in the most accessible and most painful spot - and KEEP shoving it.

After that, if you’re still alive, well, then it’s fine and dandy to try an rationalize it any way you see fit.

We are we are right now because of exactly the situations you outlined, no doubt. But that doesn’t change that we ARE where we ARE, and WHY they’re doing it.

They’re doing it, and that’s all that matters, and you’re on the receiving end (hopefully not).

“My point is that there are conservatives of every racial and cultural stripe who are also afraid of what is happening, and they don’t feel safe either. ...”

Definitely so, and those folks need to step up and declare loudly and vehemently their displeasure and outrage. Silence is tacit agreement. Sort of like the Muzzies not turning in the Jihadis amongst them - you know, those evil “extremists who hijacked a “peaceful” religion”.

“The dividing line between us is not race, but ideology.”

I submit that the moment before the first fist, kick, or brick hits your head, it’s DEFINITELY about race. Most of these morons are too stupid to even understand the left-right political spectrum discussion.

I have ZERO in common with street thugs and gangstas. I grew up poor, in N.Philly, and I did NOT turn out like that. Same environment, same circumstances. What’s the excuse?

Not jumping on you, friend, and my apologies if it seems so. You sound like a decent person, which we all try to be. I’m just a pragmatic realist that refuses to let myself get the hell beat of me by a bunch of rampaging animals - of ANY color.

It just so happens that these folks do it over and over and over again, ad nauseaum, and it’s getting old hearing folks talking about understanding, etc.

I have a family to support, and I WILL survive - by any means necessary.

We’re on the same side, brother. Just looking at it differently.

Thanks, brother RVN.

We all know who’s doing this to the country. The commies SAID they were going to do it, over and over. And they did,. Just like that famous National Socialist Adolf did what he said he was going to do. Nobody paid attention.

All that matters now is that it’s happening, and our survival depends on how we react to it.

Giving in, surrender, is not an option. Not to an American.

F*** ‘em.
