True. There was just one last week...just like that. Can’t remember the Freeper, though. Think the handle began with “H”.
You know there is a real problem and a rot in society when you cannot speak the truth. These “flash mob” assaults are the perfect example.
It seems clear that I would be branded a racist for pointing out that the vast majority of people who participate in these things are people of color, and if there is no basis of fact in my claim, that would be true.
And, if I did say that, that does not mean that I think all black people are going to engage in that activity, nor does it mean that white people don’t. And it doesn’t mean I have any animus against black people who don’t engage in it, nor do I have any expectation that the average black person WOULD.
It simply means that every single case I have seen of this type of activity that has been documented has supported the observation that it is primarily carried out by blacks of both sexes between the ages of 10 and 30. If someone can send me video documentation that would refute that observation, I would gladly do so, because I certainly don’t take any pleasure in observing it nor do I derive any joy from it.
Quite the opposite. I find it depressing and sad.
It is time. My opus

While the title says it all, I thought a goodbye was in order.
While I've been a FReeper for well over a decade, I must declare that it is time to part ways. While I have the greatest respect for a great many of you, the days where I can in good conscience remain silent about the issues that set me apart from the rest of FReeperdom have past. For clarity, or perhaps catharsis, I'm not entirely certain which, I'll lay them out on the table an call the ZOT™ down upon myself.
The racism: I just can't handle it anymore. FR has become increasingly racist since President Obama took office, and enforcement has dropped. Now, not a single crime can be reported with an "amish" comment, and I've yet to see a post express embarrassment or shame when lo and behold sometimes the perpetrators turned out to be lily white.
Homosexuality: FR is on the wrong side of history on this one, and I'll just leave it at that.
Mostly though, it's the hate. More and more posts reference violent solutions to political disagreements. Some subtly couched, others make no pretense. I wouldn't be surprised at all if I read in the morning paper that a FReeper murdered a federal bureaucrat or a federal judge.
I've learned so much, from so many of you, and for that I'm grateful. I genuinely and truly wish all of you well, and sincerely hope you all live out the rest of your lives in happiness.
