Good that this has been written about, and by someone with some standing.

I think this is a true representation of their attitude toward people that come here, work and make a success with their businesses and lives.................

No love lost between Asians and Blacks due to the riot. There’s no ‘love’ between them.

Blacks view Asians with contempt, not because of envy. “Colored” people who don’t follow their victimhood-logy.

shop owner Rajneesh Nagpal, 39, called the police 50 times during the riots, “but nobody came to help him.”

It's a shame he didn't have another option - one that responds reliably at 900+ fps or even 2700 fps instead of depending on the racist whims of a mayor who wants to give criminals room to destroy. I'd rather see a hundred dead looters of any race than see one innocent person injured, even financially. Self defense wouldn't work out for the victim of an attack like the ones in Baltimore, not under that city's corrupt judicial system, and that's why Baltimore is dying.

One affected business was featured in a video during the riots. The owners appeared to be Middle-Eastern, with full beards. “Asians” according to the British language.

Loretta Lynch will probably investigate how Asian businesses micro aggressed against black customers every day and need to be taught greater sensitivity by becoming dependent welfare serfs rather than embarrassing their black overlords by making a valuable contribution to society.

H/T to our FRiend 2ndDivisionVet for the post.

According to the government spokesmen at NPR, Asians were targeted by the Lynch mobs - but AG Lynch has announced a Justice Department probe of Baltimore police over possible violations of civil rights."

Priorities?

Don’t hold your breath for Loretta Lynch to do anything for the Asian businesses. She vowed to follow Holder’s policy. Everybody else is fair game.

Reason #1 why we will NEVER surrender our ability to defend ourselves.

The right to defend ourselves, including armed self defense, is God-given. Any governmental attempt to infringe on that right is inherently illegitimate. We may tolerate trivial infringements, even though they are both immoral and unconstitutional, but a serious effort to disarm the American people is a provocation that justifies any response necessary to preserve that basic freedom.

Asians and Middle Easterners will eventually learn what many whites have already learned: it’s better to avoid these areas. Sad but true. “Yellow flight” is probably their wisest choice.

There have been a couple of gag Craigslist ads using this pic offering ‘roof Koreans for Hire’.

“Roof Koreans for hire. Much success during L.A. Riots, no looters at our stores. Added bonus: can’t be accused of racism, especially if violent mobs are fired upon. Will provide own ammo, but will charge extra for any rounds spent.

I agree about the contempt of Asians by many inner-city blacks towards Asians, but I think envy does play a role. The fact is, that virtually every immigrant group that you can think of seems to enjoy more success than Black Americans who feel ‘trapped’ at the bottom. Since their plight can’t be “their fault”, other factors must be found to explain the newcomers’ success. I believe the prevailing theory is that the Asians get secret benefits from the government to start businesses.

Add to this the fact that Asian culture puts a high value on things like family loyalty, hard work and education. This means that the employees of Asain-owned businesses tend to be family members who aren’t likely to steal from the store they work at. So inner-city blacks who do want to work aren’t likely to be hired at an Asian-owned store.

And after years of hard work eking out a living selling things in an inner city war zone—bars on the windows, perhaps a bullet-proof cage for the cashier, etc. etc., I imagine the Asian owners come to have contempt for many of their customers. This contempt is noticed and resented and repaid when riot time happens.

The reason that ‘bammers et al are instituting a federal police force is because they couldn’t get all the privately owned guns banned.

They want their zombie armies to be able to rampage unopposed. That federal “police” force will protect those zombie armies from the homeowners.

Letting zombie armies rampage unopposed did not work out well in Ferguson, in Baltimore, or anywhere else. At some point, when government fails to do its job, the people will step in and do the jobs for which governments are formed. At that time, I will be on the side of the rule of law, regardless of which side FedGov chooses.

That’s why they’ve been “forward positioning” their military assets with the local police departments.

They want to have the citizen law and order types outgunned.
