Black Expo 'inescapably tied' to race violence
WND.com ^ | June 16, 2012 | Colin Flaherty

Looking over one of the worst crimes scenes in the history of downtown Indianapolis, state trooper Rod Russell was sad.

“It’s just a few people who make it bad for everyone,” Russell said.

But the “few” were thousands of blacks who roamed the streets of downtown in the aftermath of an Indianapolis Black Expo marred by fighting, vandalizing, assaulting and even shooting. Lots of shooting. Ten people were taken to local hospitals with bullet wounds.

“Why did we find an AK-47 in the back of someone’s car,” asked Frank Straub, director of public safety, about the 2010 rampage. No one knew, other than the fact the violence is a tradition at the annual event – despite 300 police officers on the street to stop it.

YouTube is now part of the tradition as well: Much of the illegal behavior is captured on video.

Organizers for the Black Expo said their group was “isolated” from anything that had gone wrong.

But in comparison, there was another event recently that attracted hundreds of thousands of people to Indianapolis: the annual Indianapolis 500 at the city’s Speedway.

On race day, state police issued 35 tickets — 27 for underage drinking, two for fake identification and one each for littering, intoxication, false informing and possession of marijuana.

The criminal behavior in Indianapolis during Black Expo is part of a nationwide trend of hundreds of episodes of racial group violence in more than 50 cities over the last three years.

“Before the [2010] Expo, a lot of people in Indianapolis were complaining about the police presence, saying it was too much and it was racist,” said Jake Finnegan, an Indianapolis resident. “But then we saw what happened and they shut up.”

Good luck to those of you who live in the feral urban areas. It is coming...and it isn’t going to be pleasant.

City officials, local media and Expo organizers may downplay the lawlessness of downtown Indianapolis. But YouTube is full of rap videos featuring Indianapolis black people reveling in murder, violence, theft and drug dealing. They even brag about it in videos that cannot be embedded because of the language...

The doting court eunuchs of the MSM fail to notice...

It’s a “politically correct” outfit.

Any criticism must be due to racism.

It’s a typical “shakedown” outfit.

They get a lot of $$ in contributions from their “partners” in the community.

Interesting comment. I was just thinking that with Jarrett, 0bama, Ayres, Farrakhan, Rezko and who knows who else living in the same neighborhood, we actually have a gang there....and

I work in the feral urban areas and already plan to walk off the job when it gets bad enough.

How will I know? When they start shooting firefighters, as they are known to do.

Basement savers don’t go on runs, fires run out of control, and that is a huge clue that it’s gone down and is not coming back anytime soon.

I strongly urge everyone to have a plan to get out of the city ASAP when “THE EVENT” kicks off. Don’t go anywhere near a city or a store. It will be lawless, inhuman chaos.

LBJ’s “Great Society”

How many TRillions have FDR and LBJ’s social policies cost this nation,, and now its fruits are revealed .. daily ACROSS THE NATION.

It is reflected in the hiphop media culture and music that New Decadents claim as their own. They forget, nothing is new under the sun.. including indiscriminate and sudden demises at an EXPO.. Hate Crime Inc. Lives. and profits.

We have the Houston Black Expo June 16th. I will wager there will not be a repeat of the Indianapolis problem.

We do have a lesbian, democrat mayor and an african chief of police. IIRC, the last 5 or 6 chiefs of police have been africans. (I have decided to stop referring to them as african-Americans or black Americans as I generally do not see them sharing the values of, what I consider to be, American).

We do have problems with africans and hispanic gangs, but I don't think we will see a repeat of Indianapolis. Hopefully.

Stop asking about racial violence. It’s a black thing.

Vandalizing, assaulting and even shooting. Some people have no self control,yes in all colors.

People yes - there are bad eggs in every racial group. But that's NOT what's being looked at here. Black group violence is unique. Black neighborhood violence is also unique.

Have you ever heard of a large public gathering of Asians or Jews that broke into wide scale violence? Nope. Doesn't happen. The doting court eunuchs of the MSM fail to notice... but that's their job. When two white reporters were accosted by a black mob, their own paper didn't cover the story for two weeks. Police reports ignore much black crime - makes their cities look bad.

Your type of comment vaduz - the 'everyone does it' so it doesn't matter is not only NOT true - it allows cover for the eunuchs of the MSM ...

“Organizers for the Black Expo said their group was “isolated” from anything that had gone wrong.”

Bullcrap. The organizers know that this is an inevitable side effect of the gatherings they host, so they are not isolated, they are enabling it.
