Sharpton Sows Seeds of Next L.A. Riot
As we remember the last riot in Los Angeles, the seeds of the next one are being sown.
Al Sharpton was in Los Angeles on Thursday, attending a church rally marking the two-month anniversary of Trayvon Martin’s death. Why Los Angeles should be chosen as the venue for such an event may at first seem a mystery, but whatever one may think of him, Sharpton can be counted among the true masters at manipulating the media. And here in Los Angeles this week, much of the media has been consumed with observing the 20th anniversary of what is often referred to as the Rodney King riots. The not-so-subtle message Sharpton was here to convey is this: Listen to me, do as I say, or face the consequences.
Recall that on April 29, 1992, four Los Angeles Police Department officers were acquitted in the beating of Rodney King, who had led police on a high-speed pursuit through L.A.’s San Fernando Valley. When he finally pulled over, unlike his two passengers King refused to submit to arrest and was struck with batons, kicked, and shocked with a Taser, all of which was captured on that famous videotape by a man who lived nearby. The tape (edited portions of it, actually) was played on television in what seemed to be a continuous loop for months, and then was played again ad nauseam throughout the officers’ trial. It was that tape, and the careful but deceptive manner in which it was edited and shown, that led to the near-universal expectation that the accused officers would be convicted. When they weren’t, much of Los Angeles was put to the torch in days of rioting and looting.
By yoking himself to the memory of the Los Angeles riots, and to the coming trial of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, Sharpton is implicitly threatening violence even as he explicitly denounces it. “I’ve fought for justice for Trayvon,” Sharpton wrote at the Huffington Post, “because I believe in America and I don’t believe we should burn it down. Let’s prove that we are in fact the United States of America, and let’s not miss another opportunity to show just how great we can be.”
And just how great can we be, Mr. Sharpton, if “justice for Trayvon” results in an acquittal of George Zimmerman?
Sharpton surely knows this is a real possibility. As pointed out by Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, among others, the case against Zimmerman is feeble. But this is of little import to Sharpton, and indeed may even be to his advantage. The initial narrative of the Martin shooting – racist white guy shoots harmless black child – has come unraveled, leaving Florida special prosecutor Angela Corey in the unenviable position of pressing a murder case in which the only known eyewitness bolsters the defendant’s claim of self-defense. But expectations of a conviction have already been raised, not least by Sharpton himself, leaving him in the role of the man who will pour oil on the troubled waters. And, conveniently for Sharpton, the anniversary of the L.A. riots arrives to provide exactly the right platform for the type of self-promotion at which he is so adept.
Just as the details of George Zimmerman’s deadly encounter with Trayvon Martin have escaped the limits first placed on them by the media, so too did the actual facts of Rodney King’s arrest fly in the face of what had been presented to the public, leading to genuinely reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurors who acquitted the four LAPD officers twenty years ago. But that hasn’t prevented some from trying to make history conform to long-discredited canards about the LAPD, one of which was recently trotted out in the Los Angeles Times.
“LAPD goes from longtime oppressor to community partner,” read the headline over an April 22 column by Times columnist Sandy Banks. I’ll allow that Banks probably didn’t write the inflammatory headline, but while the piece itself is worth reading for the interview with three police officers who worked through the riots and are still patrolling South Central L.A., it repeats the most tired of tired clichés about how that area once was policed. The LAPD, writes Banks, was “an occupying army.”
Utter rubbish.
Like the three officers interviewed in the Banks piece, I too was working in South Central L.A. on the day the riots began. In 1991, the LAPD had about 8,000 officers, or 2,000 fewer than it has today. But while in 2010 the city had a Part I crime rate of 273 per 10,000 residents, in 1991 that figure was a staggering 1,010. And in 1991, in the four police divisions that patrol South Central L.A., the department put no more than 80 cops on the street on a typical night, hardly anyone’s idea of an occupying army. And while the LAPD now investigates fewer than 300 murders each year, in 1991 it handled 1,025, the greatest share of which occurred in South Central L.A. On those infrequent occasions when the department did manage to muster a larger number of officers to patrol the area, it was in response to a level of violence that seems all but incomprehensible today.
And though there is much less violent crime in L.A. than there was twenty years ago, a disproportionate amount of it still occurs in those same neighborhoods. This is a fact evidently lost on Henry Watson, one of the central figures from the opening moments of the Rodney King riots. It was Watson and Damian “Football” Williams who were the primary culprits in the assault on Reginald Denny, who on April 29, 1992, was dragged from the cab of his big-rig dirt hauler and beaten nearly to death at the intersection of Florence and Normandie Avenues. In one part of a retrospective series on the riots produced by the NBC affiliate in Los Angeles, Watson spoke of his anger on hearing that the four LAPD officers had been acquitted in the beating of Rodney King.
“Enough is enough,” Watson told KNBC. “And you know, history has a tendency to repeat itself, you understand? So it’s boiling. It’s hot right now with the [Trayvon Martin] issue in Florida. . . . You can’t keep killing black folks. We’re not going to allow it.”
He apparently prefers to leave the killing of black folks to other black folks, about whom he expressed no outrage in the interview. According to the Los Angeles Times, since Jan. 1, 2007, there have been 166 people killed within two miles of the intersection of Florence and Normandie, the great majority of them young black men killed by other young black men. And many of them, victims and killers alike, were members of the same street gang to which Watson and Williams once belonged. (To no one’s surprise, Damian Williams is serving a life sentence for killing a man in 2000.)
And I may have missed it, but I didn’t catch Al Sharpton commenting on L.A.’s black-on-black crime problem while he was here in town, either. How many more will be killed in the time it takes to get a resolution in the Zimmerman-Martin case?
Unless some previously undisclosed evidence emerges against George Zimmerman, he will not be convicted of any crime, and in any event I’m confident he will never be convicted of murder. When he is acquitted, or when a mistrial is declared with a hung jury, what will happen? When that day comes, the prudent citizen will avoid the intersection of Florence and Normandie.
>>the prudent citizen will avoid the intersection of Florence and Normandie.
Prudent insurance companies should start canceling fire and homeowner’s policies there now.
During the Rodney King riots, the arsonists wandered way outside of the area consumed in the 1965 Watts riot, and were egged on by the local Pacifica station. One wonders what NPR will do, as it has several major stations here, and the are all pushing the Trayvon Martin case as an atrocity against black folks. I wrote about the protofascist origins of Pacifica (and by extension all “community radio” here: http://clarespark.com/2010/07/04/pacifica-radio-and-the-progressive-movement/. Don’t miss the memoirs of my time as Program Director and producer at the local Pacifica station, KPFK.
Good Blacks & Muslims will always be abhorred by their lesser brethren, because, unfortunately ‘good ones’ are more rare than people would like to think.
Disagree. It only takes a small number of committed malevolent thugs to cause much damage.
A prudent citizen would avoid Florence and Normandy…24/7/365
We know that Crack Daddy Marion Barry has blown the dog whistle in D.C. The folks there now understand that those “dirty Asians” will have to be driven out, a la the Korean businessmen in South Central 20 years ago.
I hope small business owners learned the lesson of the armed Korean store owners. In a riot the police are too busy to protect your shop so you have to do it yourself.

Bonus points for displaying a big shotgun. Low probability of missing your target, lack of ballistic evidence if you kill someone, and maximum noise = bad ass deterrent. Here in Texas the property owner can legally just shoot looters dead, even in the back while they’re leaving with your stuff, so it’s hard to imagine a riot lasting very long.
I don’t remember all of the details, but a shotgun on display convinced Oakland Occupiers to go somewhere else last year.
Yep, it was local real estate developer Phil Tagami. A hero for our times. Story here.
Capital idea, reasonable and prudent.
God Bless Texas, and those Koreans for standing up and refusing to be victims.
Slightly miscast. Sharpton is just a race-hustling buffoon with a big mouth. The media are pantingly eager to be manipulated, and have seized on Sharpton as the only available replacement for the aging, largely delegitimized, slightly less buffoonish Jesse Jackson.
Seriously, now: Is it plausible that a creature of Sharpton’s pathetic insubstantiality could manipulate a genuinely intelligent, reasonably skeptical media? Or is it far more likely that the media has selected Sharpton — somewhat reluctantly — as “the best it can do” for a representative of “oppressed blacks” at this time?
Mr. Porrretto:
You are exactly right. It is not plausible the media is fooled by a carnival barker like Sharpton. They are using him to stoke outrage as much as he is using them. The fools seem to actually want race riots.
Of course they want race riots. They drool with menacing, cheshire-cat-like grins at the thought as dollar signs pop up onto their bugged-out eyes!
If there are race riots, people will watch TV to watch it unfold, and that means advertising dollars for news networks and news shows and, to a lesser degree, for print news media.
It’s not just about money. There are a lot of people in the media who long for race riots because they think “white America” deserves it. They have been taught in college that black riots, whether it’s the ones in the 60s that ruined cities like Detroit or the 1992 one in L.A. were justified responses to oppression, they have been taught and are eager to believe that blacks are still oppressed to this day in the U.S. In their minds, thoses gangsters and hoodrats are the voices of the downtrodden, they report on them with the same fascination and secret admiration that they have for Mexican Zapatistas or Nicaraguan Sandinistas.
I agree that there a many that still see this as the “white man” needing to get their comeuppance. The issue is there is an even larger, and growing, number of whites(and certain other minorities) who have come to the conclusion that no more is owed. They never owned slaves, they see society’s extremely negative attitude towards being a racist (if you’re white), they see the advantages (affirmative-action) given minorities, they see the crime statistics, they know the disparity between white-on-black crime and black-on-white crime, and they are done with “white guilt”.
This is important because you reach a tipping point where instead of people seeing riots and violence as an expression of oppression, they see it as an expression of unexceptable criminal behavior that society should not condone or allow.
Bingo.
People who think it’s all about money do NOT understand what is going on in America.
Hence, Critical Race Theory!
An important insight with a wider application, I believe. Most of denizens of the media are perhaps left-wing by nature, but it also helps when it drives their business interests. Think of all the reportage we see every day: 90 percent is about the government and what it’s doing today, or some other related story like the saga of John Edwards. If the government faded into obscurity, what would they publish/broadcast about? There just aren’t enough earthquakes and plane crashes to keep them all employed. Think about the news fare we see every August when policy makers are off at Martha’s Vineyard. Hot dog eating contests and spelling bees.
A activist government, the kind that is into everything and makes everything controversial and political, is their gravy train.
I think we’ve all heard the First Law of News Coverage: “If it bleeds, it leads”. That alone mkes race riots compelling for the media. Given that newspapers and news programs are more likely to be consumed when something dramatic is happening, riots are a sure winner in the ratings game. And good ratings are money makers.
Once upon a time, TV news was thought of by broadcasters as a public service. Then, stations and networks realized that they could make money from the news and be a profit center. They haven’t looked back since.
If you combine the strong possibility of making money and add in the opportunity to further the cause of sanctimoniously telling people how racist they are, it’s hard to think of a story that would be much more compelling than race riots.
Somebody needs to figure out a way to hold the media legally accountable for stoking the fires of intolerance. If they actually had to pay compensation or do jail time for the consequences of the riots that they provoke, they would surely take a far more moderate and balanced approach to their coverage of stories like Trayvon Martin and Rodney King. They might actually let the system do its job of determining the facts and holding people to account, rather than rushing to judgment in a kneejerk fashion without the benefit of reliable facts to support those judgments.
Covering government is relatively easy, relative to covering actual events, as well. Journalists can cover government activity largely through phone calls. The stories basically write themselves.
Sparky, you said someone needs to figure a way to hold the media accountable. What about lawsuits? George Zimmerman would seem to have very good cases against at least two networks. They weren’t fed misinformation. They deliberately falsified information. In one case, they edited the 911 call to fit their narrative and in another they blurred Zimmerman’s head to hide the injuries. In neither case was the truth of any use to them. It didn’t conform to the script.
Anyone who is hurt as a result of riots caused by the media’s disinformation campaign would have a similar argument.
People will be watching TV to see the drama unfold, thus ensuring higher ad-rates?
Not in this household. We turned off and cancelled our cable a year ago. And why? Because one too many times I wanted to throw a shoe at the screen; tired of and furious at being lied to by liberal-leftist talking heads.
You cannot imagine how peaceful around my home it is these days; if I want the news, I know where to go, PJM, among others. Thank you, Roger Simon.
You, sir, are correct. It really is part oh Hussein’s re-elect campaign too.
I disagree: for all their smug talk about ‘some of my best friends..,’ I think we’re talking about a breed of people who are out of touch. They’ve never been around real street life, hookers, drug dealers. They’ve never been in the drunk tank or Adult Detention Center. They’ve never attended drug court. They’ve never had confrontations in the street. They’ve never ridden fifty times on buses n black neighborhoods. They’ve never been in an all black illegal after-hours club. They don’t really know the culture they’re so fervently convinced are profiled, oppressed and beaten down.
The people they know are professionals and they listen to rap music and see black people on TV. This is my impression.
Black life doesn’t matter. Civil rights is only the ‘maguffin’ they use in the US. In the UK they’re hyperventilating about paki-bashing. In Australia it’s the abos. etc., etc., etc. The aim is to destroy white society, culture, history, and, ultimately, white people. Leftists know all about white society — and they know they can’t fit in. Not being able to join normal society, they have decided to smash it. Ever notice how Leftists are so often abnormal? I mean, geeks, pooves/pedophiles, atheists, artistes, criminals, psychos, and the just plain non-European? Sure, it’s fringe, but if you have a society that’s dis-integrating, there are a lot of misfits when you add ‘em all together. When you see that the Left is simply all those who can’t be normal Americans, the odd alliances make perfect sense.
Spot on. The entire apparat of the MSM is set up to produce just this output. Sharpton is no more “manipulating” the press than wheat manipulates a mill to make flour.
Quite right all Race Hustler Sharpton is doing is preaching to the converted after all Left Wing moonbats just “KNOW!!!!!” that everyone else but them is a RACIST.
The media knows that Sharpton will help keep the idiots useful to the left.
The media and Al Sharpton – in the process of implementing their self-serving agendas – unwhittingly take away every ounce of dignity of black Americans along with other “groups” that they exploit; holding them all in contempt. This is the exact opposite behaviour of MLK; who made no excuses for being black; did not race bait and furthermore gave us an example of a dignified and dedicated patriotic American that believed in the future of this country and in the wisdom of limited government. Obama, Sharpton and media elites believe in big government; therefore they have to create division and discontent in order to have an excuse to “manage” groups of their choice; thereby furthering their agendas of control over individuals. Despicable and totally anti-freedom.
Since MLK was a preacher, let’s consult a famous saying from the Bible:
“For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.”
This is often taken to mean that you should “judge a tree by its fruit”, meaning that if you are unsure about the overall nature of something, take a look at what it has produced in the past or is now producing. The civil-rights movement created by MLK has among its “fruits” Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and many other anti-white racists who pretend to renounce violence while in reality trying to create it. Not only that, but every other mass protest movement since then has copied the original civil-rights movement in its basic attitudes and tactics, successfully creating a great deal of political support for increasingly dubious goals. So, what sort tree after all was MLK and his civil-rights movement?
Couldn’t you say the same of Christ? Surely many through history have used Christianity for questionable purposes, yet that doesn’t lead me to question Christ’s tree.
And what has been said of Christ’s first generation of disciples?
Brad: Go stand in the middle of a Compton street and proudly proclaim you hate white America and support the black uprising. See how far you get. Your delicate white body will be pummeled because you are white, you dimwit.
And that Christian/Christ canard is pretty lame. Over used and cheap. Check in with MM before going off on your own to write something.
I have to disagree. To follow along with that metaphor, MLK’s tree never bore fruit because it was chopped down before it could.
In its place, several different trees took root and is now bearing fruit. Louis Farrakhan, Nation of Islam, a black supremecy group that wants segregation. Jesse Jackson, Rainbow Push Coalition, a group famous for extorting businesses with protests if they didn’t pay. Finally Al Sharpton, who uses tense racial situations to promote himself.
Their ideals are far different from what MLK spoke about and desired. I question either your intelligence or your motives in saying that the current “civil-rights” movement is based on MLK.
Agreed Kenshu … Sharpton and Calypso Louis’s type of “movements” are a disgrace to the memory of MLK and nothing remotely like MLK’s vision of America.
The problem with intelligence may be yours entirely. Just check on “plagiarism” or “plagiarist” in conjunction with MLK, and you will get your fill on the quality of the tree (who just was it that fell it, come to think of it?).
Fraud is the common denominator here, and there goes motivation: Seek the truth, and stay away from lies as long as you can tell the one from the other.
I disagree with your assessment. I know several African Americans who every day live MLK’s words and ideals. I suspect they are in the majority, but go unnoticed due to their quiet achievement. It must be remembered that, as with white Americans, poverty and criminality is not the main of the African American community. Sharpton speaks to and for the lowest. The majority are true Americans and of the Tree.
Those several “different trees” were already well-rooted before MLK’s demise. The Black Muslims were well established and many young “Black Power” radicals were essentially dismissing MLK’s nominal non-violence as a different flavor of Uncle Tom well before his assassination.
For that matter, the mythical MLK is almost entirely myth. One day we’ll be able to openly discuss how much communist influence, both the fellow traveller sort and the real GRU/KGB sort, there was over the Civil Rights Movement. Particularly revealing might be the role of the Highlander school in the training and development of Rosa Parks, MLK, and others.
To get a pretty good quickie glimpse of the type of man MLK was, all one need do is visit his memorial in DC & read the quotes that surround it. Above most everything else, he appears to be a globalist.
This what Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) recently said about something she did around the time of the King beating as published today at Henry Gates, Jr.’s Hate-Speech-Lite.com:
“I was also working on the California Commission on the Status of African-American Males. We published a report that showed that a third of the prison population was made up of African-American males, compared to 3.7 percent of the state population,”
In the black community, this is not proof of an over-representation due to a depraved value system, but of monstrous white racism. It’s not a great leap from there to understand how that community sees the Martin case. Lee then says:
“Twenty years later we see the unfortunate shooting of Trayvon Martin. I raised two young black boys and I have two grandsons, and the reality is, we raise our sons with this reality in terms of knowing they could be subject to racial profiling, harassment and who knows what. It’s an unfortunate status that I think has become a new normal, which I think is very sad. We have to recognize that the new normal is wrong, it’s unhealthy and it’s unjust.”
Since the black community can turn statistics on their ear, the fact that, racially, in 2009, 13% of Americans kill over 70% to the tune of more than 2 to 1 becomes even less relevant to black people. Again, in Orwellian fashion, blacks killing whites at what may amount to a 15 to 1 ratio demographically, and at 10 times the rate whites lynched blacks from 1882-1968, in fact is Lee’s “new normal,” where whites kill blacks like ninja assassins frustrated their prey has escaped slavery and Jim Crow.
Hate-Speech-Lite has this: “Earl Ofari Hutchinson, syndicated columnist and author of Betrayed: A History of Presidential Failure to Protect Black Lives – ‘Los Angeles stood as a microcosm and a wake-up call that class, poverty and racial divisions — and the perception that urban areas were abandoned by business and public officials’”
About the same areas he adds:
“The empty lots are a tragic metaphor and stark testament to the still-crushing neglect [of] and indifference [toward] poor, underserved communities by many businesses and government officials.”
So his take is that white racists had abandoned the riot area in LA before the riots and that the businesses burnt down are still a symbol of white racism.
Hate-Speech-Lite has this about Cobb’s take on 2012: “William Jelani Cobb, Ph.D., associate professor of Africana studies at Rutgers University; author of The Substance of Hope: Barack Obama and the Paradox of Progress – ‘When we look at how reactionary reporters have rushed to construct a plausible defense [for] George Zimmerman, you see the same kind of mentality at work: the idea that a black person has no presumption of innocence.’”
Do I need to add that Cobb’s blurb is one which I could write an essay about all by itself? First black President? You got it; a paradoxical assertion of white racism.
The author of the article, Jenee’ Desmond Harris adds:
“Look at the stop-and-frisk laws and policies of the NYPD. In New York City, where I live now, it’s still entirely possible to predict someone’s likelihood of going to prison based on the ZIP code they’re born into. What Rodney King did was give us a high-profile example of something that is an ongoing problem.”
And more:
“Guy-Uriel Charles, professor of law at Duke University; founding director of the Duke Law Center on Law, Race and Politics – ‘folks of color and black people in particular continue to be incarcerated at a rate that is unconscionable.’”
Got that? Black crime, Charles’ admits, IS demographically unconscionable, but it is white people who are at fault, not the criminals, who are apparently all captured in cars. Charles then says:
“This is one of the more important human rights issues of this century,”
NOT black crime, black incarceration due to white racism. Otherwise a sane person might conclude that black crime itself is a scandal of the century. This depraved article then ends with this, which I quote in its entirety.
“Jacqueline Wade, Ph.D., associate professor of social work at Middle Tennessee State University; black- and Africana-studies specialist
1992: I immediately drew the conclusion, ‘Well, here we go again; another unarmed, relatively harmless black man, considered out of his place, literally being accosted by the police mainly just because they could do so!’ The so-called riots (I prefer to call them ‘righteous rebellions against injustice’) were completely justified and representative of a relatively helpless community’s only course of action to register a legitimate complaint against the age-old injustices it has endured by the coercive powers that be.
2012: The national black community’s relationship with white-centered police power has always been fraught with injustice and brutality. This is reflective of the days of white overseers of enslaved Africans, whose main job was to keep the enslaved in their ‘rightful’ places as enslaved Africans, with little or no mercy afforded them. The police actions in the national black community are but a modern-day version of those dire times of human tragedy.”
There you have it, and the case IS closed. Imagine, this is just one article, today, among hundreds like it at that site alone. Multiply it by thousands published everyday and then multiply that by seminars, speeches in churches, TV and the whole nine yards. This drum beat is non-stop and never-ending and it shows not a sign of ever once having any context, truth or proportion in it. Once again, these almost completely idiotic racists live their lives saying that people without names or faces, over 200 million, are racists. Well, these people have names and faces and they are vile. If any further proof need be given why these people have adopted nearly an identical mindset of Nazis, I’d like to know what it could be.
All valid points, but few even here are willing to take the next step to try to find out EXACTLY AND IN WORDS AND SPEECHES what these African Studies elites have offered as solutions to this “racist” society. To say they sound horribly similar to those uttered in Nazi Germany is not an exaggeration. There are speeches .. no one wants to put them out in public – certainly no media outlet would dare ever broadcast them.
The very worst I ever saw – which was removed from YouTube back in early 2008 was given by no less “luminary” than Michelle Obama herself. She called for “Ending Middle Class Whiteness” and “Demographic Justice” which in her defining readily meant stripping white people of all wealth and property and rights and changing the population makeup of the country using immigration laws and the healthcare system all of which had the intent of reducing the white population to irrelevancy and powerlessness…forever.
It was probably the most chilling, cold, hate-filled thing I have ever listened to.
The thing is, any juror in this case is going to know the consequences of a Zimmerman acquittal. They’re also going to likely be afraid of retaliation themselves.
Zimmerman is going to be found guilty, not because of the merits of the case, but because that’s the only option the jurors will have. They’ll be intimidated into it.
What would you do? Let a man go free even though you know it would mean the deaths of dozens and ruining lives of thousands? And possibly have a target on your back as well? Either literally or just in the media?
Bingo!
If what you say is true, then we might as well just abandon the rule of law and live by mob mentality.
Congratultuons on spotting the end of the Leftist road.
Sharpton is a sleazeball bastard. Why is he afforded a spot on MSNBC? He can barely speak, and when he does it’s vile, racist horseshit. Time for a consumer boycott of MSNBC’s sponsors. Why are the MSM given a pass for ignoring the race baiting drivel issuing from Sharptons’ lips? Moral cowardice. Sharpton is one, disgusting example of a species that should hve gone extinct by now.
Add Geraldo Rivera to the admiring chorus. On Fox’s “O’Reilly Factor” just the other evening Geraldo told us that he has a great deal of respect for Sharpton, even given his admittedly unsavory past. I wonder what will constitute Geraldo’s excuse making for the newly-respected Reverend Al when the burning and killing begins?
All the while these same people expend all sorts of energy pressuring businesses to stop advertising on the Rush Limbaugh show because he called a leftist activist forging a phony agenda a “slut.” It’s utterly sickening.
I hate Tarzan, he be white.
lone ranger owes me restitution.
I am also sooo sooorrryyy, mammy.
Count on Fat Al to attempt a hat trick and yoke the defeat of Obama to King and Martin. Riots? Wait until November. BTW – why aren’t people flooding MSNBC and every forum that gives space to this pig and demanding he be removed? Better yet – put him on with his counterpart – David Duke – just to give the show “balance”. Catchy title: – Duke It Out. David and Golieit.
Why would I waste my time calling / writing NBC or anyone else that has this hustler on? I gave up on NBC eight years ago. When Fox has this guy on, I simply turn it off.
Sharpton should have been put in jail years ago for the Tawana Brawley case. He is a professional race baiter who would be out of a job if he didn’t keep trying to stir up riots all over this country (mostly in New York City and Los Angeles). Some of the statements he made in Florida after the Martin shooting I think bordered on instigating a riot and he should have been arrested on the spot. Since then, he has had to walk back a lot of his comments, saying that he never ment to call for violence after the shooting. Sure, right. Sharpton also conveniently forgets to mention that Zimmerman could also be innocent, at least under Florida law. So what if Zimmerman IS found innocent or if the case is actually thrown out of court? If there is one riot, if there is one death, if there is one looted store or one burnt-out building, Sharpton and Jackson should be arrested immediately. This MUST stop. There is always free speech in this land, but instigating a riot is NOT free speech, it’s a crime. It’s about time con men like Sharpton pay the price for that in jail.
Yes, but Bill O’Really likes him. He’s fair and balanced.
How about the death of Yankel Rosenberg, in a riot which Sharpton told the blacks “go kill the Jews”.
How about “Freddie’s Fashion Mart”. He should be in jail for murder.
When we call for anything liberals don’t like, they use the “fire in a crowded theatre” BS to shut us up. They actually call “fire” in a crowded theatre, and tell us they have the right to, no matter who gets killed.
If they riot, Ma Duece knows how to stop them. Just call on her. She’ll make everything clean again.
Yes, that was racist.
And exactly what race does Geraldo pretend to be, anyway? When it suits him, he plays a hispanic, a jew, a short person…whatever gets him points. Except at Hugh Hefner’s, when he’s boffing white girls three at a time. Then he’s just a pathetic midget with issues.
Just what is it with liberals and sex, anyway? They’re all perverts!
I was living and working in LA during the riots. Something I remember most clearly from that time was a reporter interviewing a spokesman from one of the big county hospitals, asking what the story was on the injured who’d been brought in. The spokesman explained that they didn’t know — under normal circumstances, most injured were brought in by paramedics/cops, who could give them some idea of what had happened. But most of the injured at that time were being brought in by private individuals, many of whom couldn’t (and some of whom didn’t even stick around to try). The spokesman had to repeat this several times, since the reporter kept asking variations on ‘so you’re saying the cops are going around shooting people?’
Dozens of buildings on fire, mass looting, people being beaten to death in the streets … and this reporter was trying to gin up some image the police running around gunning people down. It was appalling, and one of the many, many reasons the MSM no longer possesses even an ounce of credibility.
What the moderate to right media must do is pose this question to the Al Sharptons, Jessie Jacksons, Eric Holders of the world. “What is your plan to prevent more Black-on-Black crime in urban communities?” Then, when they get defensive, start bumbling, and simply turn tail and run the reporter must present them with local, up to date, relevant statistics about the number of blacks that are killed by other blacks in the local community. The Jessies, Erics, and Als of the world don’t do press conferences in small towns or non-”urban” areas. The facts are easy to find before a mic is put under their noses. Keep this kind of pressure on them for months and they will either shut up and fall off the radar, or they might actually start doing something positive for their own community.
They aren’t about to do something like that; there’s no money in it, plus it runs counter to their pro-white-man’s-a-racist, blacks-are-oppressed-victims-of-white-bigotry agenda.
I wish I had that kind of optimism; what it appears that they (have the time to do while you’re at work) is agitate, march, flash-mob, berate politicians with sob stories (not letting any crisis go to waste) until they get relocated into white neighborhoods, often in other states. Spread the wealth, you know.
So, the whites flee; not because of disliking blacks, but because they dislike black culture and the resulting degradation from taxpayer supported all night parties, noise, brawling, feral kids, property damage.
Observe! another Detroit liberal utopia courtesy of compassionate leftists who care more than the rest of us great unwashed care. Or not. How much did Jesse and Al rake in from righteously riding to the rescue of the repressed in Sanford?
I’ll bet some government office got dunned to hand over $$$ for the Justice Brothers services…
Much as I hate creating martyrs, I am willing to make exceptions. If the judge does not throw this out immediately, an trial will have to be moved hopefully to a county South and West of Sanford around the lake. Now the Justice Brothers will have a problem as they are not likely to be welcomed with open arms by a well armed, minimally tolerant local population that respects other folks’ property and prepared to defend their own.
You know what the thing is about martyrs?
They’re dead.
And more dangerous dead than alive. Christians should know well the power wielded by martyrs. Countless thousands of Christians were murdered by the Roman Empire, but in the end, it was Christianity that overturned the Empire. That’s not a power you want your enemies to be able to exploit.
Until there is some resemblance of responsible behavior from the black communities, this crap will never end. The black caucus is being played like a cheap violin.
Past riots have been treated as cathartic for the localities, with no outrage from the victims in these areas.
Until there are class action law suits against these race baiting parasites, from their own caucus, that cost them dearly for their instigation and fomenting the violence and destruction, NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE.
The behavior remains the same; Only the names and dates are different.
Don’t hold your breath Cy. The white progs have the blacks under their thumb and will never relenquish their control. And blacks have proven to stupid to realize they have been played for 50 years. And enslaved.
But blacks think because they are never taken to task for their growing barbarity, destructive culture, rap noise; never a judgement against them, the unreported violence and even rationization of their violence and behavior, illegitimacy rates, drop out rates, gang affiliation, and overall just being dumbasses, they think they are really morally better than white Americans.
And then comes their preferences and entitlement culture that has been fostered by the white progs. They have no reason to be real Americans.
I am hoping white Americans who love their nation and are tired of the destruction wrought by the white progs and blacks will be met with extreme prejudice in the near future. Because, honestly, and if we are all honest, that is the only way we can save America.
not to be a spoilsport, but pouring oil on troubled waters is a metaphor for calming things down, not fomenting riot…..
If it is OK to be “COOL”, then It’s Hip To Be Square
Shouldn’t he be in prison for back taxes he hasn’t paid? He owes thousands. Why is he allowed to walk free? And where is his church? Or is his church like that of Jim Jones?
Washington, DC, the Nation’s Capital, is a majority black city. Among the members of its City Council is the illustrious Marion Barry, perhaps the only Federally convicted druggie currently sitting on a city council anywhere in the nation. Barry recently said that Asian business people in his Ward [district] were discriminating against Blacks and should be “driven out.” So, I think Al Sharpton has some competition.
On the other hand, the DC police department has done a great job at bringing down the homicide rate in the District. Still, a Black is ten times more likely to be a homicide victim than is a White DC resident. http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/10955/black-homicide-rate-drops-but-remains-high/
Also, most “hate” crime in DC is Black on Latino and is frequently related to sexual orientation.
That last statement was just as racist as what Derbyshire had to say and just as true. Which is to say, not racist t all.
If no one throws the first brick through a store window, Sharpton will.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:
The Trumpeter Taken Prisoner
A TRUMPETER, bravely leading on the soldiers, was captured by the enemy. He cried out to his captors, “Pray spare me, and do not take my life without cause or without inquiry. I have not slain a single man of your troop. I have no arms, and carry nothing but this one brass trumpet.” “That is the very reason for which you should be put to death,” they said; “for, while you do not fight yourself, your trumpet stirs all the others to battle.”
http://ancienthistory.about.com/library/bl/bl_aesop_trumpeter_prisoner.htm
If Sharpton and these others get riots started, they should be arrested and charged for inciting the riot and accomplice to any arson, assaults and murders that occur. Never happen, not with this administration. But if it did and was applied to other organizers of violent demonstrations, such things would again become rare as they should be.
In war, it is a priority to kill the enemy’s leaders. If Sharpton starts a riot, he should be treated with extreme prejudice!
I heard a clip of the rally, and Jackson I think did mention the black on black killing, and that it should be stopped. I guess even those hustlers know their lies are too big to swallow.
That being said, the “movement” is trying to scare us into voting for Obama and more and more income redistribution. I fully predict riots if Obama loses. I fully expect riots in Chicago at the economic summit. It’s for our eyes, and the media will bring us the message, for sure.
I remember in the months leading up to the 2008 election when riots were predicted REGARDLESS of whether Obama won! There were claims that if Obama lost, it would be proof that Obama had been “robbed” by a crooked/corrupt voting system. I don’t recall the rationale for riots if he won; I think it was either that whites would riot because they couldn’t tolerate the thought of a black man as President or that blacks would riot “in celebration”, the way mobs sometimes riot when the home team has a major victory.
But as it turned out, there were no riots at all, at least none that I can remember.
I think these “activists” are ridiculous and just raise the possibility of riots automatically to try to scare people, just like they automatically comdemn as racist any objection to Obama or his policies.
Well Sparky if there are riots regardless of the outcome I will be able to defend myself and family as well as neighbors. I carry daily with at least two weapons on my person or nearby with over 100 rounds of ammunition also nearby or on my person at home it is even more guns and ammunition in already loaded magazines ready at all times.
In the 60′s riots people were nowhere near as well armed nor did that many people have permits to carry weapons so mostly the police or in some cases the National Guard offered protection but now days many otherwise ordinary citizens are legally armed and you might not even know it.
Now I just did tell you but that is a different matter, if you were to run across me at Walmart or the gas station in the morning getting my favorite coffee you would not have a clue that I am armed, mostly because I carry concealed and try to keep it that way.
If you live in a “shall issue” state and are not a felon then get your self a weapon and take whatever training necessary and get a permit or license to carry a weapon either openly or concealed, your life might just depend on it!
To quote Big Al.”resist we much.”
Unfortunately, civil unrest is part of the progressives strategy. The Zimmerman case will be dragged out just long enough for the aquittal to take place just before the election. The ensuing riots will “force” the President to declare martial law and “postpone” the election- for our safety, of course.
Sorry but riots in Sanford Florida or even several cities will not be a good enough excuse to impose martial law anyway the local authorities now have Swat Teams and well trained LEO’s that will quash such bad illegal behavior quickly, not to mention legally armed citizens that will take matters into their own hands.
Martial law can only be imposed in those areas or regions of the country that fail to be able to handle rioting and outright mayhem so how can 19% of the country cause so much trouble that the rest of the country can not handle they are outnumbered 4 to 1 and probably legally own more than a ten to one ratio of weapons and ammunition.
Keep in mind that since Obama has been in office one industry has flourished and that is the firearms industry, right now Smith & Wesson is now adding a third shift to try somehow to keep up with the demand for there weapons. Ammunition sales as well as firearm sales for each month since November have gone to new highs each month. I do not like this trend personally because it is making it harder for me to get the weapons that I would like to have to compete in events plus just going to the range for practice in various caliber pistol sizes!
No If there are riots they will be short lived and as a population most blacks are not legally able to own firearms (we all know they have them regardless of the law) due to the fact they tend to end up with a felony record but those that do own firearms and can legally carry them are out there and growing daily so I think martial law is only an excuse for maybe one or two cities at most and putting off an election because two cities that might be favorable to the president is beyond the imagination/
No I think voter fraud will be the issue in this next election so there is a solution for that using cell phones look especially for buses carrying around a bunch if homeless bums and if they go to more than one polling olace within a district take a picture of the bus as well as those occupying the bus and if they enter more than one location they are committing voter fraud as well as possibly identity theft, so a long prison sentence for the bums working for the democrats will at least get some of the homeless off the streets and they get to have their picture on TV as well as the newspaper, “Hey lookie that’s me committing fraud”,then Romney could if it is a close election could demand a recount in those areas where fraud were suspect, especially if there were more votes than those registered, it would be great for the news channels regardless of the outcome and really make Obama look worse that he already looks!
They don’t want a “Helter-Skelter” scenario because they’re smart enough to understand that it would result in a lot of dead Democrat voters. What they want and will get is enough riot and rumor of riot around the election to suppress the white suburban, the home of the mushy middle, turnout. This election will unfortunately be decided in the white mushy suburbs, and if the communists can get those people to stay home, vote absentee so their votes can be stolen, or vote for Comrade Obama in hopes of keeping “his people” quiet, then the communists can win the election.
i don’t know who did what to whom, and neither does anybody else, except maybe zimmerman. i read somewhere that zimmerman isn’t what the race baiters want him to be. he is part white, part hispnic, and part black, by a black grandparent. if true you probably won’t hear our useless press tell it.
some of us have been predicting a very ‘hot’ summer and fall. as o-barry comes to realise he will lose the election his ‘people’ will resort to riots and killing to insure that the freebies/handouts keep coming. fear and long stoked hatred will insure this caldron is ready to boil over, with the race baiters like sharpton and jackson stirring the pot. best get ready. the (marxist) people who have siezed power need these riots to be on a national level.
Dante put a special place in The Inferno for sowers of discord.
Minorities are being used by the left to divide the country, as a means to implement a socialist government. As in past socialist revolutions, the “proletariat’s” lot in life gets no better when the socialists take power. Do we never learn from history?
That is the point !
“Workers”, racial “minorities”, “women”, etc., (etc.) are just pawns in the game of the subversives. They send them to riot, to strike, to have abortions, just to support the nomenklatura climb to power.
After that, silence.
The funny thing is that it is happening here and now in America, with this administration, but the media are so loud that the “pawns” cannot reach (or at least not all of them can) the information about…their own rights and conditions. Look at Obamacare: it cut 500 billions (B) from Medicare…and the propaganda goes on saying that the bad Republicans want to attack Medicare.
And in the meantime the provisions of Obamacare implement death panels.
Look at the conditions of the African Americans after fifty years of the subversives “taking care” of them: the family destroyed, drugs use rampant, crazy crime statistics.
And this is nothing, a second term would destroy the American economy so radically that poverty would strike tens of millions more.
And the subversives openly declare their goals: skyrocketing energy costs, skyrocketing gasoline cost were in the plans of this administration, openly declared.
Poverty and oppression for all is the promise of the subversives.
The historians will be amazed when they will analyze the power of propaganda in the XX and XXI century.
One sure thing: Al Sharpton will not die in a riot. When he will send his pawns to commit crimes, he will be comfortably protected by a super-security detail.
Don’t be so sure. People reap what they sow, and the whirlwind has a tendency to catch up with people, no matter how safe they think they are.
How about this possibility: Zimmerman is freed (acquittal or a mistrial) and, shortly after, Obama is defeated in a very close election, perhaps another loss similar to Gore’s to Bush (Obama wins popular vote but loses in the College).
In such a scenario (which is very possible), Obama would simply use the acquittal and the ensuing race riots as a pretext to nullify the election, take power as President for Life, and arrest or shoot all Republicans in Congress, as well as shut down all opposition media.
His NOI and Black Panther thugs, as well as public sector union goons, would beat up and kill anybody who tried to protest.
All the signs are pointing to “spontaneous” race riots this summer. If you live in a city, be prepared to hunker down for a while. Send your children to visit their country-bumpkin cousins

Jack Dunphy” is the pseudonym of an officer with the Los Angeles Police Department. The opinions expressed are his own and almost certainly do not reflect those of the LAPD management.
And that’s a shame.
Here’s another shame: Why Does MSNBC Compensate a Racist Like Sharpton?
Well, since the president is (and has never been) nothing more than a rabble rousing instigator and divider the country is going in exactly the direction he wants.
Since Obama has the authority over a nation … what he allows is also reflected on a national level … it’s what we’re witnessing every day. Every moron “organizer” and leftist kook with no values is coming out of the woodwork; necause the door has been opened at the highest levels.
One small problem there are many of us that are now armed and myself am pretty good with my weapons, and after combat are still standing walking and talking, yeah you gotta watch out for us folks we are the silent majority, you give us any trouble and you will get it back tenfold~
Another riot-encourager is Bernard Parks, ex-LAPD, ex-CHief of Police, and current elected official encouraging all the “free stuff” entitlements that his black constituency can dream up.
If it was mentioned at the time of the LA riots, I don’t remember it or didn’t understand its significance. But after Darrell Gates, Parks was the ranking police officer on duty when the riots started and it was *his* decision not to either call in more police or to send in the police who were on duty. Like he was doing a dog whistle even then: “Free stuff for everybody — come and help yourself”.
There’s a big push on now in Los Angeles to get Westside communities to sign on to a city-wide subway system. The people (citizens) I’ve heard talk about it do *not* want a fast and easy way to get from south LA (Compton / Watts) or east LA (the Latino ghettos) to a prosperous and thriving Beverly Hills / Santa Monica / Century City. Sharpton and the Times’ headlines about thugs torching and helping themselves to billions of dollars of “free stuff” sorta kinda reinforces that reluctance to throw open the gates of rapid transit to EVERYbody.
Mr. Dunphy,
1)I look forward to your articles and once again you hit a home run.
2) The King thing, I said it then and I say it now. Of course, cops are going to beat the heck out of you if you lead them on a high speed chase and resist arrest. ( Well they would before video anyway. Now they are simply shoot you.)
3)Libs, you haven’t figured that out yet have you? The police are more likely to shoot and kill someone resisting arrest today than they were 20 years ago. Here is the thought process, I could whack away with my stick but that won’t look good, taser doesn’t always work, so let’s see, what other weapon do I have, oh yes, my sidearm. Guess I will shoot him. BTW if you shoot someone you want to kill them. Fewer witnesses and disability payments that way. (Hey, I am not saying it is a good thing or the right thing, but it is the way it is.)
4)Do you get that the amusing thing is today King wouldn’t be beaten. He would be shot. If the police had done that back in 1992, everyone, but King would have been much better off.
5) If there are riots after the charges are dropped against the white hispanic or if he is acquitted, the rioters should know that everyone is much better armed now than they were in 1992. Store owners are armed to the teeth. Truck drivers won’t stop for roadblocks. They have a firearm within reach anyway. And homeowners, well you really don’t want to find out what the “typical” homeowner has at home. Geez, it almost scares me to think about the firepower on my 13 home block.
I know that after the LA riots the Korean community armed itself to the teeth. They were buying Korean made handguns and semi-auto rifles in quantity. Many of the buyers were already familiar with the weapons since they were trained in the Korean army. Knowing the reputation of the Korean army its not one to mess with. Basically its moved here to LA. Others in the community have served in the Russian Army and the Israeli army. Russians seam to prefer the Saiga which is Russian made armament. Israelis on the other hand seem comfortable with just about any kind of weapon. That aside many of the locals have had fire arms training and have purchased guns. It would be a grave mistake for my presumed rioters/looters to go into any of these ethnic areas.
Al “Trawana Brawley” Sharpton is engaging in DOMESTIC TERRORISM.
SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING.
Report him to HOMELAND IN-SECURITY.
“Report him to HOMELAND IN-SECURITY.”
He might want to wait until we have a competent POTUS & administration in charge before he makes a move on that.
Well there are certain sections of “Los Angeles, Mexico”, Sharpie, that I wouldn’t advise you to try to invade.
Napoleon was known for ending riots by giving the mob “a whiff of the grape”.
It worked then, and as the SoKor shopkeepers demonstrated in the “King Riots”, it works now. Also, a little “random” gunfire towards a news van drove one committed journalist right out of the business. Since the media drives much of the social unrest evident today, why should they be excused from the consequences?
And, I think it’s rich for Hutchinson to be complaining about “empty lots”, when many of them were empty in the 90′s from the Watts Riot thirty-years before. When you burn down your own “home”, and chase away those who were willing to do business with you, you have only yourselves to blame if everyone stays away.
Why Los Angeles should be chosen as the venue for such an event may at first seem a mystery, but…
Let us not forget the Watts riots in 1965. Those Watts riots, along with those in several other big cities, Detroit the biggest among the others, resulted in the Great Society, which saw to the transfer of billions in wealth and a trove of prerogative rights.
Race rioting, or the even just the threat of it, can yield big payoffs. The good Reverend Al, now a news entertainer on NBC, knows this and intends to see that “his people” profit by it.
I do not watch regular television and seldom watch any at all but WTF is a “News Entertainer” is it a buffoon that tries to make news or tries to read news by acting like they are real newsmen, which most are not anymore any way (the reason I do not watch television)!
So Al is kinda the Saturday Night Live Fake journalist or news anchor like (Jane somebody Curtain the slut, from Dan Akroyd I think), or do people think he is a real anchorman or even a serious political pundit!
OK I get it this is how Barak Obama got elected there is so much stupidity going around that some idiots will vote for anything at all as long as it it labeled as progressive and for fairness and hope and change and all that garbage…whew our country is on it’s death bed when you see this going on!
Arm yourself you will need it sooner than later!
And if they can’t figure out what has changed in the last fifty years, they won’t know what him ‘em. People are just plain sick of it at this point, and we’re not going to take it anymore.
There might be riots in black enclaves but things are not the same here as they were at the time of the riots. The latino areas are much bigger. More latino gangsters and the occasional wounded one in a wheel chair. they play for keeps and they don’t eff around with rocks and fists either. The Rev is living in the past.
Al is kinda the Saturday Night Live Fake journalist or news anchor…
Don’t forget the fake reporters. When ya think about it, fake reporters (i.e., the absence of a real reporter doing real reporting) are even more distortive than a fake anchors. But both are in the news entertainers biz, which focuses on what feels good, what’s acceptable, instead of on what’s true and right, or even on what’s legal. Focusing on what feels good results in a fictive version of things, and a public dialog rife with subject areas and potential statements that are verboten.
The latino areas are much bigger.
I have a small nit to pick here. Well, really a big nit, a very big one, but not directed at you, John. It’s ok, expected in fact, to refer to most groups by their respective gene pools: Caucasians, black Africans, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, North American natives, Australian aborigines, Persians, Arabs, etc. It ‘s expected to be able to talk subgroups within each gene pool (e.g., Caucasians has Slavs, Celts, Teutons; black Africans have Western Africans and East Africans, and so on).
But when it comes to meso-America, the gubmint has identified and requires the use of a pseudo-race. Tricky Dick made up the term Hispanics in a move to get votes, but it does little to identify a real gene pool or its subgroups. Latino is a little better cuz it at least identifies a common language, the Spanish language, which is indeed a Latin language.
But the Cubans in Florida are primarily Spaniards, which means Caucasian. Pureto Ricans living in Florida and along the Eastern Seaboard are Caribe, many with a mix of black African. Most of the “Hispanics” in Arizona and indeed all of America are either Aztec or Maya, but there are many Inca and those from smaller gene pools and subgroups from along the northern edge of South America.
And each of these persons is fully aware of the race group to which he belongs, and understands also that it’s against the customs of news entertainment industry and the requirements of federal law for those from gene pools not meso-American (Caucasians, Asians, Sindh, black Africans, etc.) to refer to those of meso-American extraction by their real race identity — even though it is required to refer to non meso-Americans by their correct race.
This race mididentification is a key tool used in the toolkit for advancing globalist and socialist agenda. When looking at what Mitt and Rubio are doing, or Jeb, or what Krauthammer and others are saying, or what Coulter just wrote in her column, it is apparent that the setup — the identification and naming — is fake and, as processed through the media and the ballot box, can only result in something bad.
Corelation isn’t causation; Johnson and the Democrats had already proposed most of the Great Society programs long before the Watts Riots. He first began using the phrase “Great Society” in ’64, the riots weren’t until August of ’65.
The Great Society was the result of the Democrat landslide in ’64, which resulted in perhaps the most liberal Congress ever, certainly the most liberal until the Pelosi/Reid Congress beginning in ’08. It was mostly just Democrats doing Democrat things, though the rioting and unrest of the time probably did give some additional impetus to the later enactments.
When I think about it, Nixon flinched on many fronts – he enacted Model Cities, introduced numerical-quota Affirmative Action, legitimized the environmental movement (EPA made federal) and did he really coin the term “hispanic”?
Nixon was no friend of America. Just because there’s an R after his name doesn’t mean he’s a good guy.
Apparently MSNBC is not only aware that Al Sharpton is illiterate, but they boasted that they’re the first network to have an illiterate news anchor! http://www.thedailyrash.com/al-sharpton-americas-first-illiterate-news-anchor
If riots occur Al Sharpton should be dropped into the middle of it alone with no protection, nor any cameras. Being trampled by angry, racist, rioters would be fitting punishment for his part in inciting them to riot.
Hey I have an idea why don’t us conservatives put a bounty on Al Sharpton’s head and make the LSM media then we can tell them we want justice for what mayhem he has already caused and make it dead or alive and the justice should be almost instantly done, heck we have all kinds of evidence so lets go lynch ole Al he is the perfect candidate for a lynching.
Do you think if such an offer were out there that there would not be an investigation and possibly an arrest for hate speech at the least? Yeah let’s give it a shot the liberals do it all the time so what is there to be afraid of?
When Obama is rolled out of office then Holder as well as him are fair game and Karma will not be kind, I for one am glad to see Mit Romney going after Obama and hope to see more of it!
At some point, you have to define and recognize just who your people are.
obama and his pet racist Holder have defined who their ‘People’ are.
Zimmerman will probably be acquitted in Florida, but the race riots, burning, and the wanton mayhem and destruction will probably happen in California, specifically the city of the angels? Isn’t that a rather dumb Golden State cultural tradition? To be generous, perhaps it’s just LA’s black ethnic version of generational urban infrastructure recycling? You know, Sharpton getting some more stimulus dollars from HUD into the hood. I still think La Raza should put out a bounty on some DOJ and ATF lawyers just to get some arrests going among those Fast and Furious paper pushing desk jockeys who signed off on the mass gun smuggling while apparently oblivious to the probabilities of all those subsequent mass murders in Mexico. Just think of the urban renewal possibilities, in the wake of riots and insurrection in LA, if those officials are acquitted.
You will see lots of Koreans at SoCal Gunshows. Go to the range and they are learning how to use them.
South LA is now majority latino. . You need to drive all the way to Crenshaw Blvd to purchase BBQ.
The Mexicans will protect their homes. The boys from Florencia X111 would look on any riot as an opportunity to shoot black people.
There are not soft targets in LA. The riot will not catch anybody by surprise.
It looks from here as if the US is celebrating a descent into some kind of Mad Max reality. The description of the situation in LA seems accurate, including the self-arming of Koreans and Latinos. How did all this happen? It fills me with sadness – California is my home state and full of memories for me.
As for Sharpton, he should have been imprisoned for inciting deadly pogroms in New York, resulting in the deaths of several people. Instead, he’s a mainstay – including on FoxNews. What an insane world.
My theory on why race hustlers are pouring gasoline on tinder is to prepare for the November election. The message that they are trying to convey is that if Obama is not reelected, blacks will riot and attack whites. If you are white and have to travel through black areas for work or other reasons you are in serious personal risk of maiming or death if Obama is not reelected.
This assumes a great deal of cynicism and depravity on the part of the Democrats who are orchestrating this campaign. I think that assumption is justified.
If I Wanted America To Fail,
I would be a race baiting bigoted, crooked, hateful, fat old raisin like Sharpton. I ‘d get on tv, go to the white house, and all sundry types of exposure with the help of a legacy media run by commie bastards who hate America.
If I wanted America To Fail.

There are good Black people who are abhorred by the bad behavior of certain blacks.
There are good Muslim people who are abhorred by the bad behavior of certain muslims.
The problem is, it’s very rare for either of these entities to speak out against the bad for their own good. And, if they (heaven forbid) DO speak out, they are excoriated by their own brethren.
It’s a toxic environment to be a ‘good person’ in a sea of sewage.
It’s really no small wonder their rotten agendas continue unabashed. The evil that permeates their communities can only be eradicated from within. So far, they have not demonstrated the courage it takes to defeat the evil that thrives in their midst.
In the Muslim case there are millions of ‘moderate’ Muslims, I myself know many and am married to one, but it is THEY who are the ‘Misunderstanders’ of Islam. There is no such thing as ‘radical’ Islam or ‘fundamentalist’ Islam there is just ISLAM
“abhorred by”???
Gag!
Please go look up the proper use of the word!
Well all I have to say is that after hearing about some “race war” between the blacks and others but mostly white (well I am kinda Red) I have been waiting patiently for this non even to happen. The last real riots were in the mid 1960′s, the LA riots were a local occurrence that did not last that long!
The next time there is any problem with blacks that are outraged they will be met with fierce resistance not only by the police but also by ordinary citizens that are in fear for their lives or the lives of those they care about.
38 states now have laws the allow the concealed or open carry of firearms of ordinary citizens, and I am one of them and have been for quite some time. Being an intended murder victim when I was 18 years old and should not even be alive right now, it was only because of God willing it to be so. Do you think I will not allow someone to try and kill me or do major harm to me? I will use deadly force and practice at least three time a week, self defense and accuracy of shot placement is my number one concern. Let the RIOTS BEGIN and then underdogs with a population of no more than 1 in 5 will lose, it is not good odds to try and start any riots and mayhem these days if you are outnumbered 4 to one!
?? What’s your definition of “real riots”?
I was there for the Rodney King riots. People died, buildings burned, etc.
They looked pretty real to me.
Pray for the best, but arm yourself and get educated on the safe and efficient operation of firearms. We can hope that the day never comes, but be prepared to hit what you aim at if it does….God Speed to you all.
What hope is there for the USA when the Race Hustlers are allowed to spread their poison without any punishment and you have Race Hustlers both in the White house and as head of the DOJ.
And the 3 biggest race hustlers of all are Rev. Al, Jessie and Maxine Waters….
Someone upthread mentioned Derbyshire, so lets add another point to his talk: “If you lose your cellphone and a black person says he found it – just let it go or bring armed friends if you really dont want to pay the out-of-cotract cost for a new one” –

I’m not so sure it’s rubbish of any kind.
In the early 80′s I was a member of the Army Reserves, stationed at the now-closed Ft. MacArthur (San Pedro). My outfit was Company C, 3rd Battalion, 12th Special Forces Group. Most of my unit was made up of Viet Nam vets. Most of them had been Special Forces in Viet Nam, a few had been regular infantry or other combat arms, and we even had one former Bush Marine, a crazy fellow with a penchant for hunting deer. With a knife. Then there were a smattering of folks like me who had been regular Army in peacetime, and were not Green Beret qualified. (I mention that only because I absolutely detest posers, and don’t want to even inadvertently claim some qualification which I did not earn.)
For some reason (probably because of the kind of men they were) the vast majority of these guys were cops in their civilian life. (Yes, cops are civilians.) They were mostly from various local agencies, from L.A. Sheriff to CHP to local police departments. My immediate supervisor worked vice for Long Beach PD. I think we also had an FBI agent, and our S-3 was a federal marshal’s deputy, and you did NOT ask about his work.
These guys were not liberals, and they were not sissies. They were also not squeamish about, um, educating certain persons who needed education. I recall one conversation in particular about a certain miscreant falling down some stairs, in an attempt to persuade him to stop trying to bite my boss. Repeatedly. (Uh, the biting AND the stairs, repeatedly.)
In addition to my associates in C-3-12, I have always had a lot of friends who are cops.
One thing they all had in common – they ALL despised the L.A.P.D. because of their systemic and completely unnecessary brutality.
I’ve never seen the famous Rodney King beating tape to this day. I do not have an opinion one way or another on that incident.
I DO know that the L.A.P.D. under Daryl Gates had a well-deserved reputation for brutality, even among other cops.
One day the Good Lord will take this racist mouth and shut it for good, we need to be a little more patient, god has plans for this race pimp, but unfortunately it’s our timing its in his. these type race pimps when exposed in the direct sun light of Gods word, scares them to death, thats what happens to people that have demonic influences over shadow them like these race pimps do. His time is coming, just be patient. I pray that no one should suffer Hell including these pimps, but they will if they continue in there lies, distortions, and even blaspheming the name of God.
After sitting and reading these comments for the past half hour the horrible conclusion I’ve come to is that a legally over-armed, freedom and peace loving fair skinned people are about to begin killing illegally over-armed, peace-loving dark skinned people. That’s the sum total of what is about to take place in the United States.
So now, can we admit we are out of control? Freedom is God-given only if you believe in God. Most are prisoners of personal lusts and desires. But then we don’t allow God in our schools, not even His text book.
Oh, I’ve seen some disparaging comments with regard to the Almighty but really only in a very casual way. God and Jesus only come in handy when we need an expletive for enphasis.
I remember taking my family to visit and go shopping south of the border. Two minutes at the border and we were off to Seattle. That was the 50′s. Longest unguarded border in the world! We even have/had a monument built on the 49th parallel called the Peace Arch. Now I guess because some over-zealous Islam fudamentalists found an easy route into the States (our border guards are naive too, y’know) – - now we need a passport to come for a visit!
Please, please – put the guns up and ask God for guidance. We, Canada and the U. S. A. were once a beacon of what peaceful co-existence is to the rest of the world. Look at us now. May God help us to see His light.
Hate to be the one to break the news to you…”but this is way out of Gods hands”….It’s in the hands of every American now to defend themselves and their border and make the changes that are needed to secure our borders from ALL those who wish to come her illegally….and stop with the PC, BS.
Couple of things. First, clearly, Rodney King took a serious ass-whipping. Justified? My opinion: 50%. He is a very large, very strong man. He repeatedly refused, unlike his passengers who were never touched, to stay where he was. More: I read, several times back when, that X number of LA police officers had been killed or seriously injured by car drivers/passengers, and in fairly recent time frame to that incident. Also, most telling: I saw that video about 50 times, so did you, over a year period. Not once, ever, did I see what THE JURY reportedly saw: the initial part! So, my opinion, liberal sissy media, terrified to their boots of angry blacks, caused the riot. The beginning of the video, which I and you only saw AFTER the decision, showed this very large man who was laughing, clearly intoxicated on something, lurching forward, refusing continuous orders to stop. What the cops did after, half in my opinion, was half – not all – wrong. He did not, would not stop his forward movement. Got it?
Jessie and Al LIVE for this…you want to know wha racism is…it’s “jessie and al.”
There, someone finely said it! These two are in the business of spreading hated because it’s how they make their money.
They do more to damage race relations in this country every time they open their big fat mouths…
Shame on the both of you…
