Armstrong: Stop trying to make Temple attacks about race

Updated: OCTOBER 26, 2016 — 10:49 PM EDT

Temple officials have promised to beef up security after a recent attack involving teens.

by Jenice Armstrong, Daily News Columnist @JeniceArmstrong

The TEMPLE attacks were about troublemaking teens - not race.

The youngsters who jumped those college students as they walked to campus Friday night are delinquents who need to be put in check before it's too late.

They were nothing but miscreants who took out their aggression and misdirected rage on random passersby. Why? Because they felt like wilding out that night. They were out to create chaos, so they did.

So, don't talk to me about gentrification in North Philly.

Don't talk to me about poverty.

Don't talk to me about race relations.

Those are whole other conversations and not what these attacks were about.

No one was safe from these teens that night. Not the six Temple students who were injured. Not the Temple police officer knocked from her bicycle by a 15-year-old. Not even a police horse. Anyone could have gotten caught up in that madness.

“Anyone could have gotten caught up in that madness.”

Yes, if they were white, they could have been a victim for instance.

“They’re not racist, they attacked a horse, too!”

Which is as ludicrous as the authoresses’ comment

“Anyone could have gotten caught up in that madness”.

Authoress is a black racist who hates white people and excuses feral violence by her ethnic kin.

“What kind of a jerk hits a horse? “
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

There is more outrage over an animal being mugged than a human. My question is, “ What kind of jerk kicks and punches a human nearly to death?”

But if it had been whites preying on blacks, it would have been ALL about race.

So which face am I to believe, Madam Author?

It’s only about race when they say its about race and if you disagree, well, then you’re a racist.

This is the Facebook page of the main victim of this “wilding” event. She’s a petite young woman, tiny even. The idea that 20 to 30 young black men beat her up sickens me. I guess it made them feel like real men that they could so easily beat up an unarmed woman who looks like she’s barely over 5 feet tall and maybe 110 pounds.

For them, it is already too late. The path that they choose to follow will ensure that most of them will not be among the living this time next year. And they will all die with their boots on. They will either be killed by another hoodlum such as they, killed by the police while committing another crime, or die from a drug overdose. Also, these are not "youths" they are hoodlums and hoodlumetts. Actually rabid animals would be a more honest description. And they should have been dealt with as such. And last but not least, the police officer that allowed the shit to knock her off her bicycle needs to find another line of work before either she is killed or another officer is killed protecting her.

And yet, if one of those “teens” had been shot by a CCW, “Black Lives Matter” would have made it ALL ABOUT race, and would have shut down the city in response.

All it will take is a little push back from some pissed off white guys. For now whites seem scared of being politically incorrect. I believe that pendulum is beginning to swing the other way.

Wow, can’t believe they slipped up and left comments on; she is getting ripped!

Yes she is. Look at all the up votes on those comments as well. They're not pulling any punches.

Maybe I missed it but it didn’t even sound like she consulted her husband.

Probably a white horse.

Well, if Whitey allows herself or himself or herself to be pounded on, that is on them.

I guarantee you I could break them of the bad habit of pounding on me in short order.

Another student, a junior environmental science major who didn't give her name, told a website called theTab.com, "My boyfriend ran and got away but the second I tried to run, they grabbed me by my hair and started beating my head and back.

I think that's probably ex-boyfriend by now. Unless this girl is into Pajama Boy liberals.

I disagree. You would be amazed of the curing power a .45, a .357, a 38 Special, or a 9 mm has. Or a lock blade Buck, Case, or an Old Timer. Cold steel and hot lead have cured many a case of stupidity with no relapses.

This is the same playbook for when there is a terrorist attack. It’s never about Islam. When there is black on white crime it is never about race.

Yeah I guess so. I grew up not too far from Judge Roy Bean’s Courthouse.

For Lily Langtree!

If a white CCW shoots a black guy, you can depend on Obama’s DOJ to become involved. Likewise if Hillary becomes president.
