You can have Milwaukee.
For the best example of black mob violence and media denial over the last few days, I’ll take Cedar Rapids.
People outside of Milwaukee may be a bit surprised that last week hundreds of black people burned down businesses, threw bricks at cops, attacked white people, and created an enormous amount of mayhem. All because police killed a member of that city’s black criminal elite after he pointed a stolen gun at them.
The New York Times certainly was -- it even dug up a few locals to say so.
But on the porches of Milwaukee, the home town crowd remember how hundreds of black people rampaged through a recent state fair, attacking white people in and outside of the fairgrounds -- with all the bloody carnage captured on 911 calls.
Other locals remember the White Girl Bleed a Lot beatdown -- that inspired a best seller by the same name! -- and how black racial hostility and denial was on full display there as well.
And of course, just a few weeks ago, large groups of black people in the same area were rioting and throwing rocks at cops and destroying property. All on local TV, all attributed to the troublesome teens. Again.
Others talk about Juneteenth, Racine, Madison and even Green Bay, also sites of recent black mob violence all documented at the Don’t Make the Black Kids Angry YouTube channel.
Every porch has a favorite. Aside from reporters and public officials, no one said it was new or even surprising...

Where at? Should I ever decamp from the ATL ‘burbs I should probably consider it . . .
Cumming. Nice area, but population is rising fast. Better would be Ellijay: quaint, mountains, #1 red neck city in the state.
Yes, you and I are on the same page then. Friends have a place up in Blue Ridge lake, I’ve spent some time around there. And of course we transit Ellijay to get there. Generally like the feel.
BTW, who ranks GA cities on redneck factor? I’d like to see that.
“I used to pray to God as a child that race relations would be resolved by the time I grew up.”
A huge amount of good will among whites has been thrown back in their faces.
Why? Well, because a slave doesn’t dream of freedom; a slave dreams of becoming a master.
They never wanted justice and equality. They have always wanted their turn on top. They want their turn to be as bad as they think whites have been.
It's tempting to deem it genetic.
Or PC tolerance; or, worst of all, tacit approval.
Meanwhile, the pressure mounts...
Honestly, even at my age, I don't remember that event.
Can you provide more detail? A date (year?) A link if you used one? Anything?
“The army doesn’t like more than one disaster in a day. Looks bad in the newspapers and upsets civilians at their breakfast.”
Here it is. With the usual reminder that a supply of salt is useful when reading all Wikipedia articles.
Ideology was the major ingredient in the fatal riot. Whatever the driving force of that ideology, it is certainly an object lesson from history.
That it was the remedy necessary at the time to bring the violent riots to a quick conclusion may be debated forever, but that it prevented future similar senseless ideologically driven extreme riots is beyond dispute, and ultimately may have prevented hundreds of similar fatalities since then.
for later
Something tells me this comment was directed at someone else.
Or not certain how I was snarky. Can you pinpoint it?

Give these guys some love/hits, folks, they’re reporting reality, an all too rare event out there.
Please post up your follow on stories. There’s a little bit of a learning curve on the software, but it’s stripped down and built for speed/effectiveness. Beats the heck out of most forum software.
Jim Robinson runs the place, I am pinging him to give him a heads up about you guys. JimRob, please see the last couple posts. We seem to have some real journalism happening in Cedar Rapids.
