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.

Race riots are starting and we haven’t even taken away their government checks yet.

As Napoleon said, "An army marches on its stomach". If a war comes, their side, for the most part, won't understand how to either cook food or grow food. They won't own anything useful or be able to fix anything that's broken. They will lack discipline and self control. They will be unwilling to take orders or to learn how to do anything. Their military strategy will basically be "Let's loot the place."

They don't have the numbers and they are notably lacking in any ability to stand on their own. If there is a war, they will lose worse than anyone has ever lost a war.

Think of these incidents like a football team running various practice “contact” drills to get their game plan perfected leading up to the big game.

What’s the big game?

Election 2012

This is scary. My 13 y/o son works for a concessionaire at small town events. This weekend he is working the county fair. He’s a scrawny kid still and with red hair and glasses would probably be target. He’s done tae kwon do but hasn’t done any sparring with more than a couple of kids at a time.

What do you think the “free cell phone” program was about?

If you think this is bad, wait until we get the federal welfare cuts, if ever.

[Dead Corpse]

I might need a heavier brush guard on the front of my truck.

Or I could just pick up one of those M35's from a govt auction. I guess that'd get me clear of any "flash mob" activity.

"“Crackers” are the new “Juden”."

...eh, except that the crackers are often (and moreso all the times) the ones who own guns, conceal carry, serve in the military, win our wars, etc. "Crackers" are not known to be shrinking violets.

[MrB]

This is indeed what they meant by “Empowerment in the Age of 0bama”...

Does anyone else remember the attitudes they ran into following the 2008 election?

Everyone (including me) was surprised by the amount of seething hatred that must have been there for generations, coming to the fore because they felt like, finally, they could let it out.

Good point.

“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” ~ Barack Hussein Obama, 2008 campaign

The article had a witness describing a “a Riverwest type mob”. Does anyone know what that phrase means?

[MrB]

One armed person with a mob around him will probably just end up dead.

But so will 15+ others, depending on the number of extra mags he's carrying.

[Dead Corpse]

Zombie containment protocols. The description you gave sounds remarkably similar...

[Mr. Jeeves]

Open season on whitey. I have to wonder what incites these thugs to gather in a pack of 300+ and go beat whites. It almost seems organized.

I suspect it's some Cloward-Piven fanatic connected to the Administration, with about five layers of plausible deniability between him and the "community activist" who sends out the actual rallying call on Twitter.

[MrB]

I don’t think they realize the numbers, on average, are about 8 to 1. And in some geographic locations, it’s more like 25 to 1.

[Vor Lady]

I so want one of these.

[stellaluna]

That what help in a pack situation.

" understand how to either cook food or grow food...own anything useful or be able to fix anything that's broken...lack discipline and self control...unwilling to take orders or to learn how to do anything...strategy will basically be "Let's loot the place"

I'm not sure that is a good take on what will happen in the future but it is a superb synopsis of the overall current problem.

I think Riverwest is a neighborhood in Milwaukee where they had similar black-on-white mob attacks after the Fourth of July fireworks last month.

I’m convinced that ACORN is behind a lot of this. I think they have been practicing with flash mob technology, here and there, in small ways. Eventually, in 2012 when they need things to happen, they will have a good understanding for how to use flash mobs as partisan guerrillas.
