BLACK ON BLACK VIOLENCE Data,
of crime and policing than this weekend’s demonstrations suggest.
The FBI released its official crime tally for 2016 today, and the data flies in the face of the rhetoric that professional athletes rehearsed in revived Black Lives Matter protests over the weekend. Nearly 900 additional blacks were killed in 2016 compared with 2015, bringing the black homicide-victim total to 7,881. Those 7,881 “black bodies,” in the parlance of Ta-Nehisi Coates, are 1,305 more than the number of white victims (which in this case includes most Hispanics) for the same period, though blacks are only 13 percent of the nation’s population. The increase in black homicide deaths last year comes on top of a previous 900-victim increase between 2014 and 2015.
LA County District Attorney’s Husband Pulls Gun on Black Lives Matter Activists
2:49
Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey’s husband brought a gun and deadly threats to the front door of their home on Monday morning as Black Lives Matter activists beat drums and chanted about DA Lacey.
Video from the scene credited to Black Lives Matter LA clearly shows David Lacey at the doorway of their Granada Hills home, pointing a weapon and shouting, “I will shoot you. Get off of my porch.”
4,445 people are talking about this
“I don’t care who you are, get off of my porch, right now,” Lacey continued, once again raising the handgun toward an off-screen individual identified by the Real Justice PAC as California State Professor of Pan-African Studies Dr. Melina Abdullah. “We’re calling the police,” Lacey said. “Okay, good,” she can be heard answering before he closes the door.
“He pulled a gun and pointed it at my chest,” Abdullah said, then raised her voice again: “We’re here for the community meeting, Jackie Lacey!” she called out. Abdullah and roughly 30 other Black Lives Matter activists had shown up in front of the embattled DA’s house early on Monday morning, protesting her refusal to meet with activists within the southern Los Angeles community.
“For clarity for folks outside of Los Angeles who don’t know the history, @BLMLA has been trying to meet with their elected District Attorney for years,” tweeted County Central Committee candidate Jasmyne Cannick, who also posted the video. “She hasn’t met with the Black community since 2016.”
Despite the footage, police officials would not officially confirm “whether any firearm had been brandished,” or “if the man seen in the video is Lacey’s husband.” They will follow typical investigative procedure: “As with any incident, LAPD will first investigate and if appropriate bring to an independent prosecutor’s office for review,” the district attorney’s office said in a statement. “The California attorney general’s office will assist LAPD in this matter.”
BLOG: THERE IS NO ONE MORE RACIST THAN AMERICAN BLACKS. ADD ANTI-SEMITIC, HOMOPHOBIC, ANTI-ASIANS AND ABORTED YOU HAVE THE WORLDS MOST VIOLENT SUBCULTURE.
Lacey has long been at odds with many of her constituents for a perceived lack of action toward addressing issues of racism and violence during her tenure. Still, she maintains that harassment at her home steps well over the line.
“Our home is our sanctuary,” Lacey said in a press conference hours later. “I do not believe it is fair or right for protesters to show up at the homes of people who dedicate their lives to public service.” While she said she was “profoundly sorry” for her husband’s response, she maintains that it was “rooted” in genuine fear.
“It was just him and I in that house and we really didn’t know what was about to happen,” she told the press. “I too am sorry if anybody was harmed. It’s never my intent to harm any protester. I just want to live in peace and do my job.”
Similarly, the
statistical fact that African-Americans commit murder at a vastly higher per
capita rate than do white Americans is not something you are supposed to
mention in the press, but at least dissidents in the comments can cite a PDF issued by
the federal Bureau of Justice Statistic s back in
2011 that found that blacks were, per capita, 7.4 times as likely to be murder
offenders as whites, with whites, curiously, including almost all Hispanics.

THE DEPRAVED GHETTO BLACK CULTURE
IN AMERICA - Is it the world’s most violent subculture?
"Dr. Williams comments on another
reality: that the rate of black homicide and armed robbery as well as
other violent crimes are as is as much as 15–30 times more than whites."
So, we
have local black gang associates posting terror threats on social media --
threats of murder, by burning, directed at the women and children family
members of white police employees -- immediately before the murder, by
burning, of the white teenage daughter of a local police department
employee. Plus, the killing took place only minutes after the victim was
seen on video at the same location as the husband or boyfriend of the
person who posted the threats, as he was filling a handheld can with
gasoline.

Black Nationalist Hate Group Praised by Media Shot Up Kosher
Market

Rep. Ilhan Omar and the New York Times’ favorite hate group
targets Jews.
December
12, 2019
Daniel
Greenfield
Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom
Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left
and Islamic terrorism.
The New
York Times called them "sidewalk ministers" who practice
"tough love." The paper quoted Heidi Beirich of the Southern Poverty
Law Center who described them as victims of racism and claimed that they were
non-violent.
The Washington
Post, in its own puff piece on the Black Hebrew Israelites, also
falsely described them as non-violent, and concluded that, "Israelite
street preaching in parts of D.C., Philadelphia and New York is commonplace, a
familiar if odd accent to city life."
The
odd accent to city life in Jersey City came amid a hail of bullets as two
members of the racist black nationalist hate group opened fire in the JC
Supermarket. Despite initial claims by the media and the authorities
that the Jewish market had not been targeted, David Anderson and Francine
Graham ignored passerby on Martin Luther King Dr, to get to the store and kill
as many Jewish people as they could.
When
the shooting had ended, Moshe Hersh Deutsch, a yeshiva student who was known for
helping distribute food packages to the needy, Mrs Leah Mindel Ferencz, a mother of 3 who helped her
husband run the grocery store, and Miguel Jason Rodriguez, the father of an
11-year-old daughter and a parishioner at an Assemblies of God church, were all
dead.
Anderson,
who left behind anti-Semitic and anti-police writings, had also killed Detective Joseph Seals, a father of 5, and wounded Officer Ray
Sanchez and Officer Ferenella Fernandez.
The black nationalist terrorist had hated cops and Jews. He
managed to kill both.
The
media whitewash of the racist Black Israelites had come during the Covington
Catholic case when the Washington Post, among other papers, had
falsely blamed the pro-life students for a confrontation that actually began
when members of the nationalist hate group had begun calling them, “crackers,”
“faggots,” and “pedophiles.” An African-American pro-life student was called
the ‘n-word’.
Rep.
Ilhan Omar, who has her own history of racism and anti-Semitism, falsely claimed that the Covington Catholic students were “taunting 5
black men.”
The New
York Times equivocated that members of the hate group “use blunt and
sometimes offensive language, and gamely engage in arguments”. The typical
“offensive language” and argumentative style of the Times’ second
favorite racist hate group involves shouting racist and anti-Semitic slurs at
people.
David
Anderson, the Kosher supermarket shooter, had a whole YouTube playlist of such
ugly incidents. In one video, a Black Israelite preacher shouts, “Satan is in
you” at a Jewish man. “You stole our history. You are pretending to be us. The
messiah, who is a black man, is going to kill you.”
Gamely
indeed.
In
another video, a Black Israelite preacher calls a Jewish teen a member of the
“Synagogue of Satan”. “We want our book back and we want our land back,” the
preacher demands. “Go back to Russia.”
You
can see why Rep. Ilhan Omar might have felt called to defend the racist hate
group.
“They
move you all over the earth, but we know who you are. You are part of the
Zionist deception. You go among the earth to spread Zionism, which is really
Catholicism,” he rants. “Witchcraft and sorcery.”
Such
statements may seem deranged, but they’re typical of the supremacist theology
of the hate group.
Previous
incidents involving the hate group have been even uglier with a video that
doesn’t appear on Anderson’s playlist showcasing a Black Israelite preacher shouting, "The Holocaust is
a damn joke! Heil Hitler!" A documentary shows another preacher standing
on a prone white man and declaiming, "We're coming for you, white boys.
Negroes are the real Jews. Get ready for war.”
It’s
no wonder that Tom Metzger a KKK leader and the founder of the White Aryan Resistance, had described them, as "the black counterparts of
us".
And
yet, the New York Times concluded its whitewash of the hate
group with a closing quote by Todd Boyd, a professor of race and culture at
UCLA, which claimed that, "To many black people, Hebrew Israelites are a
harmless part of their communities."
No
doubt to many white people the KKK are a harmless part of their communities.
Racist hate groups are the bigger problem for people who aren’t a member of
their race.
"More
alarming to many African Americans," the UCLA professor of race had
argued, is "seeing a white guy in a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat."
The
dead at the JC Supermarket would have liked to have seen a MAGA had instead of
black coats.
The whitewash
of the Black Israelite hate group was the work of John Eligon, a reporter hired by the New York Times to
report on race, who had previously defended Rep. Ilhan Omar’s anti-Semitism, and
had injected black nationalist sympathies into his writing. The Washington
Post’s whitewash of the hate group was the work of Sam Kestenbaum, a
contributing editor at the radical leftist The Forward. The
anti-Jewish paper has a long history of whitewashing and defending anti-Semitism
by its political allies.
But
the problem is much bigger than just the media’s whitewash of the Black
Israelites.
The
FBI’s warning about the threat of “black identity extremism” was met with a
wave of attacks by the media. A New York Times op-ed warned
of "The F.B.I.’s Dangerous Crackdown on ‘Black Identity
Extremists’" The Intercept, a notorious radical hate site
funded by Franco-Persian eBay billionaire Pierre Omidyar, joined in. "Why
the FBI's "Black Identity Extremist" Classification Is Dangerous," Teen
Vogue had argued. The Nation had warned of a
"Coming War on 'Black Nationalists'".
Rep.
Karen Bass, a militant anti-Israel Democrat, despite representing a partially
Jewish district, attacked former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the FBI, and other
officials over the BIE category. This was after the murder of 4 Dallas
police officers by Micah X. Johnson and Kori Ali Muhammad's targeted killing of three
white men in Fresno.
“I
don’t believe black identity extremists exist, and I believe the FBI should
retract the document and send out a document throughout law enforcement saying
that black identity extremists do not exist,” Bass had ranted.
This
year, under pressure, the FBI jettisoned the BIE term. Just in time for the
Kosher market shooting.
The
FBI report helps police officers prepare for coming threats. By undermining the
warnings about black nationalist violence, Rep. Bass, the New York
Times, the Washington Post, and every media activist and
politician who went to bat for black nationalist racists sabotaged police
preparedness.
And
they have blood on their hands.
The
media is already embracing the familiar narrative about lone wolves and
individual instability. That’s the same story we hear after acts of violence by
members of a movement that it is politically allied with.
Hate
groups, whether it’s the KKK or the Black Israelites, or campus hate groups like
the Groypers or SJP, should be exposed with clear and honest facts about who
they are and what they believe.
When
political activists and media whitewashes cover up the truth for partisan
reasons, people can die.
A
father of five with a badge, a mother of three running a grocery store, a man
working to support his daughter, another man delivering food packages, did not
have to die. If the truth had been told about the Black Israelites, they might
still be alive today. Instead the media lied and they are gone.
Truly
standing up against racism and anti-Semitism means jettisoning partisan agendas
for the truth.
Rep.
Karen Bass, the New York Times, The Intercept, the
ACLU, and others colluded to tie the hands of the FBI and local police because
they see black nationalists like Anderson as allies in their cause.
After
the attack, a representative from Americans
Against Anti-Semitism, an
organization which, unlike the ADL, actually opposes hate wherever it comes
from, took a camera to record local reactions.
"I
blame the Jews. We never had a shooting like this until they came," one
resident bellows. “My children are stuck at school because of Jew shenanigans.”
"Four
of y'all are dead right? That's great. If they was there, they got shot dead,
that's great," a man says.
"Get
the Jews out of Jersey City," someone else shouts.
There’s
nothing extraordinary about this. It’s the everyday hate that we can’t talk
about. The hate that the media is quick to cover up. If you want to understand
why children are beaten on Brooklyn streets and why a Kosher supermarket was
shot up, it’s because we aren’t allowed to talk about it.
Evil
needs silence and complicity. The media and Democrat politicians are guilty of
both.
The
Ferencz family, Moishe and Leah, opened a small market on Martin Luther King
Dr. They filled the narrow aisles with bread, juice, candy, milk, and the
household staples you need when time is short.
They
worked late hours.
And
then, while Moishe was praying next door, the black nationalist bigots whom
the New York Times, the Washington Post, Rep. Ilhan
Omar, and Rep. Karen Bass had defended, killed her husband.
That
is the story that the media won’t tell. But it must be told.
WINDOW INTO THE DEPRAVED BLACK SUBCULTURE
Heather Mac Donald
Public safety
The Social Order
As for
interracial violence generally, blacks disproportionately commit it.
Between 2012 and 2015, there were 631,830 violent interracial victimizations,
excluding homicide, between blacks
and whites,
according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Blacks, who make up 13
percent of the U.S. population, committed 85.5 percent of
those victimizations, or 540,360 felonious assaults on
whites, while
whites, 61 percent of the population, committed 14.4 percent, or 91,470
felonious assaults on blacks. Regarding threats to blacks from
the police, a police officer is 18.5 times more likely to be killed
by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police
officer.
Anti-cop
activist Shaun King says that his involvement in the campaign around the
Jazmine Barnes murder was not driven by reports that a white man had killed the
seven-year-old girl, who was gunned down in Houston on December 30. According
to Barnes’s mother and 15-year-old sister, the white driver of a pickup truck
had pulled up next to the family’s car before opening fire. The accusation set
off a frenzy of hate-crime allegations and blanket coverage by the New York
Times. King offered a $100,000 reward to anyone who located the suspect.
As
it turned out, Jazmine Barnes was killed by two black men, who opened fire on
her mother’s car because they thought that they were targeting enemies of their
gang. King passed along a tip about the real killers to the Houston police, and
now says that he merely “internalized the pain of the family and tried to
search as if it were my own child who was killed.” Race, in other words, had
nothing to do with his activism.
It’s
worth remembering, though, the many other black children who have been victims
of drive-by shootings without leading King to launch a national crusade.
A
sampling: in March 2015, a six-year-old boy was killed in a drive-by shooting
on West Florissant Avenue in St. Louis, as Black Lives Matter protesters were
converging on the Ferguson, Missouri, Police Department to demand the
resignation of the entire department. In August 2015, a nine-year-old girl was
killed by a bullet from a drive-by shooting in Ferguson while doing her homework
in her bedroom, blocks from the Black Lives Matter rioting thoroughfare. Five
children were shot in Cleveland over the 2015 Fourth of July weekend. A
seven-year-old boy was killed in Chicago that same weekend by a bullet intended
for his father. In Cincinnati, in July 2015, a four-year-old girl was shot in
the head and a six-year-old girl was left paralyzed and partially blind from
two separate drive-by shootings. In Cleveland, three children five and younger
were killed in September 2015, leading the black police chief to break down in
tears and ask why the community only protests shootings of blacks when the
perpetrator is a cop. In November 2015, a nine-year-old in Chicago was lured
into an alley and killed by his father’s gang enemies; the father refused to
cooperate with the police. All told, ten children under the age of ten were
killed in Baltimore in 2015; twelve victims were between the age of ten and
seventeen.
In
2016, a three-year-old girl in Baltimore was partially paralyzed by a drive-by
shooting. In Chicago in 2016, two dozen children under the age of 12 were shot
in drive-bys, including a three-year-old boy mowed down on Father’s Day 2016
who is now paralyzed for life and a ten-year-old boy shot in August; his
pancreas, intestines, kidney, and spleen were torn apart. A Jacksonville
22-month-old was shot to death by a passing car last June. In September, three
men killed three-year-old Azalya Anderson in a drive-by in Sacramento, and a
week before Christmas in Bridgeport, a 12-year-old boy was shot and killed on
his way home from the candy store in a drive-by shooting.
Why
did King let these shootings of black children go by without responding as he
did to Jazmine Barnes’s murder? Could it be because the perpetrators were
black? You could end all white shootings of black children tomorrow and it
would have zero effect on the death rate of black children by homicide, because
such white-on-black shootings are extremely rare. Moral abominations, like the
2015 Charleston church massacre by white supremacist Dylann Roof, are
aberrations that belong to the outermost lunatic fringe of American society.
The country’s revulsion at the Charleston carnage was immediate and universal,
resulting in a movement to banish the Confederate flag, embraced by Roof as a
white supremacist symbol, from official sites.
If
Shaun King and other Black Lives Matter activists really want to save black
children from the trauma of urban violence, they should put their efforts into
rebuilding inner-city culture—above all, by revalorizing a married father as
the best gift a mother can give her child. Fantasies about white violence
against “black bodies” are a distraction from what is actually happening on
American streets.

Walter Williams tackles the elephant in the room on crime
Dr. Williams is a well
known conservative economist and longtime John Olin Chair faculty at George
Mason University in eastern Virginia, author of 12 books and syndicated
columnist. In the past, he has been substitute host on the Rush
Limbaugh radio program. He is almost like family to me, and I have
benefited from his essays and books over the years. This past week,
I saw and read his essay on disparities in crime rates among
races that was picked up by Military in its October 2019 issue. What
got Dr. Williams going was the article by Matthew DeLisi of Iowa
State U and John Paul Wright of the U of Cincinnati titled "What
Criminologists Don't Say and Why."
Dr. Williams confirms
that the writers are right about the liberal tilt of criminologists — "If
criminologists have the guts to even talk about a race-crime connection, it's behind
closed doors and in guarded language. Any discussion about race and
crime ... can mean the end of one's professional career."
Dr. Williams points out
teen black-on-white predatory behavior — chronicled in detail by many,
particularly Colin Flaherty, whose investigative
reports appear frequently (more than 100) at
American Thinker — cannot be reported, mentioned, or considered by the media,
politicians, criminologists, commentators, politicians, even law
enforcement people without risking being called racist, the easy epithet used
to enforce a ban on talking about the realities of racial disparities in crime
and the increasingly violent nature of black violence against whites — the
knockout game, polar bear hunting, flash mob violence against people and
property.
Referencing the Wright
and DeLisi report, Dr. Williams comments on another reality: that the rate of
black homicide and armed robbery as well as other violent crimes are as is as
much as 15–30 times more than whites, for example, and he points out the
silliness of criminologists' claims that mass incarceration rather than
criminality has decimated the black community. He favorably quotes
Wright and DeLisi when they say, "What they [criminals] did, in reality
was to prey on their neighbors."
Dr. Williams returns to a
theme he has explored many times before in this essay and commentary when he
points out that the black family of the past was two parents and stable, even
back to days of slavery, and that the black community was moral and
law-abiding. "The strong character of black people is
responsible for the great progress made from emancipation to today. ... [T]oday's
conduct among black youth wouldn't have been tolerated yesteryear."
My regret is there aren't
enough Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell types to engage the nutty attitudes of
liberal chatterbox experts.

BLACK
ON BLACK VIOLENCE Data,
of
crime and policing than this weekend’s demonstrations suggest.
The FBI
released its
official crime tally for 2016 today, and the data flies in the face of the
rhetoric that professional athletes rehearsed in revived Black Lives Matter
protests over the weekend. Nearly 900 additional blacks were killed in
2016 compared with 2015, bringing the black homicide-victim total to 7,881.
Those 7,881 “black bodies,” in the parlance of Ta-Nehisi Coates, are 1,305 more
than the number of white victims (which in this case includes most
Hispanics) for the same period, though blacks are only 13 percent of the
nation’s population. The increase in black homicide deaths last year comes on
top of a previous 900-victim increase between 2014 and 2015.
Who is killing these black
victims? Not whites, and not the police, but other blacks. In 2016, the police
fatally shot 233 blacks, the vast majority armed and dangerous, according to the Washington Post.
The Post categorized only 16 black male victims of police
shootings as “unarmed.” That classification masks assaults against officers and
violent resistance to arrest. Contrary to the Black Lives Matter narrative, the
police have much more to fear from black males than black males have to fear
from the police. In 2015, a police officer was 18.5 times more likely to be
killed by a black male than an unarmed black male was to be killed by a police
officer. Black males have made up 42 percent of all cop-killers over the last
decade, though they are only 6 percent of the population. That 18.5 ratio
undoubtedly worsened in 2016, in light of the 53 percent increase in gun
murders of officers—committed vastly and disproportionately by black males.
Among all homicide suspects whose race was known, white killers of blacks
numbered only 243.
Violent crime has now
risen by a significant amount for two consecutive years. The total number of
violent crimes rose 4.1 percent in 2016, and estimated homicides rose 8.6
percent. In 2015, violent crime rose by nearly 4 percent and estimated
homicides by nearly 11 percent. The last time violence rose two years in a row
was 2005–06. The reason for the current increase is what I have called
the Ferguson
Effect. Cops are backing
off of proactive policing in high-crime minority neighborhoods, and criminals
are becoming emboldened. Having been told incessantly by politicians, the
media, and Black Lives Matter activists that they are bigoted for getting out
of their cars and questioning someone loitering on a known drug corner at
2 AM, many officers are instead just driving
by. Such stops are discretionary; cops don’t have to make them. And when
political elites demonize the police for just such proactive policing, we
shouldn’t be surprised when cops get the message and do less of it. Seventy-two
percent of the nation’s officers say that they and their colleagues are now
less willing to stop and question suspicious persons, according to a Pew
Research poll released in January 2016. The reason
is the persistent anti-cop climate.
Four studies came out in
2016 alone rebutting the charge that police shootings are
racially biased. If there is a bias in police shootings, it works in favor of
blacks and against whites. That truth has not stopped the ongoing demonization
of the police—including, now, by many of the country’s ignorant professional
athletes. The toll will be felt, as always, in the inner city, by the thousands
of law-abiding people there who desperately want more police protection.
Tessa Majors’ Murder
Just Tip Of New York City’s Crime Iceberg
At long last, Rashaun Weaver has been arrested for the murder
of Barnard College student Tessa Majors back on December 11 2019. Remember, the
police had Weaver in custody but let him go [14-Year-Old Is Released Without Charges in Tessa Majors
Case, by Edgar Sandoval, New
York Times, December 26, 2019]. A second suspect, Zyairr Davis, 13,
had already been charged—but in Family Court [Judge sets murder trial date for teen boy in Tessa Majors
stabbing death, by Anthony M. DeStefano, Newsday, January 2, 2020]. A third suspect,
also questioned but also released, is still free. This agonizing pace is the
direct result of the race-whipped pro-crime policies of New York City Mayor
Bill DiBlasio, which I predict may yet succeed in denying Majors justice. And
it’s the tip of the iceberg: Soon it will not be possible to disguise that
we’re headed back to the high-crime era of 1980s.
In Majors’ case, the New York City Police
Department also did its part. Tellingly, as with the Knoxville Horror, depolicing had let
Davis’ gang of muggers run amok in the area until they murdered her.
And, as the New York Post reported,
Weaver
was on the lam for more
than two weeks before cops nabbed him in the Bronx on Thursday. ...
Investigators believe he may have stayed underground until his finger healed
[Suspect may have killed Tessa Majors because she bit his
finger: police sources, by Tina Moore, Khristina Narizhnaya and Laura Italiano, December
27, 2019]
But, of course, the NYPD has not arrested
the accomplices who harbored him while he healed and charged them as
accessories.
The police know that Bill de Blasio will
not have their back. His New York is city of re-emerging super-predators—the
term popularized during the 1990s by criminologist John J. DiIulio Jr. to describe
the ever younger boys, mostly black, who
were psychopathic crime machines. The Left demonized and misrepresented the
concept, DiIulio got scared, and the problem was turned upside down. Now, black
super-predators are “victims” [Return of the Super-Predators, by Brian
Johnson, Jackson Free
Press, August 30, 2006].
Not that de Blasio created this world. The
architects are the black sperm donors who knocked up their girlfriends but disappeared
when it came time to raise their children, and mothers who deliberately
raised racist, violent felons [Who’ll Stop the Rain?, Nicholas Stix, Uncensored,
June 15, 2008].
Of course, we have seen generations of
dueling myths about it. According to the Left’s favorite myth, black criminals
of all ages are innocent “victims of racism.” And Republicans
claim credit for miraculous reductions in crime—which, in my opinion as a New
Yorker, were themselves substantially mythical.
Thus during the mid-to-late 1990s,
the Daily News and Newsday exposed one
fake stat scandal after another, including the NYPD’s cooking the crime stats,
but typically acted as if the different scandals were unrelated. Beginning in
1996, in a series of exposés, I showed the patterns [1996, 2002a, 2002b, 2004, 2007, 2011, 2012, 2012b, 2012c, 2012d, 2014a, 2014b]. Here’s another
example:
The murder rate, muddled
by the NYPD’s strange habit of ‘reclassifying’ dozens of murders whose
precipitating violent incident took place years before, is roughly flat. But
the city’s insistence that overall crime remains at record lows sounds
increasingly more plaintive than boastful, as if this is the best we can do.
[How ignoring crime, accident data caused three deaths in
10 days in NYC, by Nicole Gelinas, New
York Post, last updated December 23, 2019]
Gelinas knows much more than she says,
given her classic article on crime in New Orleans [Who’s Killing New Orleans?, City Journal, August
2005]. But in any event as NYPD officials were appointed police chiefs or got
consultant gigs around the country, ordinary cops degenerated into professional
liars, and manufactured fakestats, and with them the rule of crime spread.
That’s how murders committed by blacks
became “accidental deaths” or “suicides,” and first-degree and aggravated
attempted rapes became “trespassing,” as these three stories show:

Murder (Again), Nicholas Stix, Uncensored, September

(In contrast, however, by-the-book, justifiable homicides in which
cops defend themselves are
now “murders.” Of course, this
discourages honest policing even more).
Observers such as Heather Mac Donald had only two
possible explanations for the (supposed) crime reduction: stop-question-frisk
and “broken windows” policing,
which attacks low-level, “quality-of-life” misdemeanors (panhandling, fare evasion, public urination and public drinking).
But I don’t buy it.
De Blasio all but ended stop-question-frisk,
which had taken thousands of guns off of New York’s streets. And “broken
windows policing” was sabotaged from the get-go. Judges routinely threw out
quality-of-life charges, while prosecutors often threw them out before they
ever reached court. [Letter From New York City |
Crime Stories, Chronicles,
August 1996]
Under de Blasio, the city’s criminals
enjoy criminal amnesties that were
expressly cooked up for blacks and Hispanics under “disparate impact” sophistry. Another
one is reportedly coming soon [A criminal justice reform would give thousands a clean
slate — if only they would apply, by David Brand, Brooklyn
Daily Eagle, November 25, 2019]. Amnesties were already
institutionalized no later than the 1980s, by the way. A misdemeanant would get
an ACD (adjudication in contemplation of dismissal), help clean a city park for
a couple of days, go six months without being re-arrested, and the arrest would
be expunged.
De Blasio also conceived a free crime
program for drug criminals over 40 [Narcotics cops ordered to stop arresting suspects over 40, by Daniel Prendergast,
Shawn Cohen and Jamie Schram, New
York Post, May 20, 2015]. And he all but eliminated most school discipline. With his blessing,
black and brown thugs can now curse teachers, engage in violence, and block all
education.
Similarly, New York State has just created
a felons’ paradise for black and brown thugs through “criminal justice reform,”
whereby bail has been virtually
ended so
that thugs can commit more crimes more quickly [New York bail reform under fire amid wave of anti-Semitic
attacks, by Ronn Blitzer, Fox News, January 2, 2020]. According to de
Blasio, the wave of anti-Semitic attacks by blacks is the fault of
“white nationalists” and President Trump [Latest anti-Semitic attacks make it clear: Hatred of Jews
doesn't just come from white supremacists, by Beth Bailey, Washington Examiner,
December 30, 2019].
Black New York Attorney General Letitia James’ contribution was to demand that
the NYPD cease arresting black farebeaters, who practically have a monopoly
on the crime.
Even when the city or a precinct admits, as my area’s did in November,
2018, that two of the seven “index crimes,” felony assault and burglary, have
increased, they insist “that a
decrease in crime contained a surge of unpleasant incidents
this month” [Assaults Continue Despite Crime Decrease, by Ray Vann, The Wave, November
30, 2018].
Citywide, the NYPD told a similar story
three months later. Homicides jumped 37 percent and rapes 19 percent early last
year. Yet “despite the increase in murders,” the Daily News reported,
“the city’s overall crime rate was down 11% in February and down 9% for the
year” [Homicides in NYC up 37% so far this year, driven by
stunning 50% spike in February, by Rocco Parascandola and Graham Rayman, March 4, 2019].
While it is mathematically possible for
crime overall to go down as two felony index crime rates are exploding, it is
highly unlikely.
(The index crimes are murder, rape,
robbery, assault, burglary, grand larceny and grand theft auto. The FBI also
counts arson).
How did the other five categories decrease
so much that crime went down overall? In the real world, a crime explosion hits
all sectors. The same felons who rape and murder also rob and burglarize, often
at the same time.
Graham Rayman of the lefty Village Voice, now a crime writer at
the Daily News, wrote a series and a book about Schoolcraft
and the fakestats. But nothing has changed.
Rayman’s offering in the Voice opened with a
money quote from a supervisor:
“You know, I’ve been doing
this over eight years. I’ve seen a lot. The lengths people will go to try not
to take a report, or not take a report for a seven major [crime]. So nothing
surprises me anymore.”
It might not have surprised the supervisor
or even NYPD’s brass, but it likely surprised taxpayers who expect the cops “to
protect and serve.”
While we’ve all heard about the low-crime
renaissance of the city beginning in the mid-1990s under Rudy Giuliani, I’m
here to tell you it never happened. New York, despite what de Blasio and his
predecessor Mike Bloomberg say, is not the safest big city in America.
Tessa Majors would tell you, too, but she
can’t.
The super-predators who now rule the
streets for their friendly monarch, Bill de Blasio, saw to that.
And no amount of fake stats will be able to
hide what’s coming next.
Black Chicago Judge Lies
About Bail Reform Plan He Ordered...Defendants Released Committed HUNDREDS Of
Violent Crimes
What happens when a black judge in Chicago,
who happens to be the chief judge of Cook County, lies about the consequences
of reducing or eliminating monetary bail for many defendants (which he lamented in 2017
disproportionately impacts black and brown criminals)?
Nothing.
Because we live in a nation where black
people have no agency, and structural racism/implicit whiteness/white privilege
is the true evil.
Bail reform analysis by
Cook County chief judge based on flawed data, undercounts new murder charges, Chicago Tribune, February
13, 2020
Cook County Chief Judge
Timothy Evans for months has defended the bail reform he ordered by citing an
analysis produced by the office he runs.
His report, released in
May, noted that Chicago saw no increase in violent crime after judges began
implementing those reforms by reducing or eliminating monetary bail for many
pretrial defendants. Far more of these defendants were released from custody,
yet only “a very small fraction” were charged afterward with a new violent
offense, the report states.
But a Tribune
investigation has found flaws in both the data underlying Evans’ report and the
techniques he used to analyze it — issues that minimize the number of
defendants charged with murder and other violent crimes after being released
from custody under bail reform.
One central conclusion
of Evans’ analysis was that only 147
felony defendants released from custody in the 15 months after bail reform went
on to be charged with new violent crimes, or 0.6% of the total. He has called
this a “rare” occurrence.
But Evans’ definition of
violent crime, while acceptable to criminologists under some circumstances, was
limited to six offenses and excluded numerous others, including domestic
battery, assault, assault with a deadly weapon, battery, armed violence and
reckless homicide.
Hundreds of these charges
were filed against people released after bail reform took effect, according to
data Evans provided after the Tribune filed a public records petition to the
Illinois Supreme Court. If those charges were included in the analysis, the
total would be at least four times higher, the Tribune found.
The report’s underlying
data also was flawed in multiple ways that led to an undercount of murders and
other violent crimes allegedly committed by people out on bail.
In one example, the
Tribune identified 21 defendants who allegedly committed murder after being
released from custody in the 15 months after bail reform. Evans’ report said
there were three.
Among the reasons for that
disparity:
- Evans’
analysis included only those defendants whose initial charge was a felony;
it excluded those charged with a misdemeanor, which is far more common.
Five of the murder defendants found by the Tribune had bonded out of jail
on misdemeanor charges. Four of them had past felony convictions from
attempted murder to armed robbery, and three had served prison time.
- The
analysis counted only the first new charge against defendants after they
were released from custody. The Tribune identified two people who were
released, charged with another crime, released again and then charged with
murder, all within the time period being examined. Those later murder
charges were not entered into the database used for the report.
- Evans
excluded three murder defendants whose first charge occurred before bail
reform — even though they were released on bond after the reforms took
effect in September 2017.
- Mistakes
in data entry and incomplete court records marred the data set used in the
analysis.
In one case, a reputed
gang member released on a no-cash bond after a felony gun charge allegedly shot
and killed a city Streets and Sanitation worker who was driving home to his
three children, in what prosecutors called a case of mistaken identity.
That defendant was not
included in Evans’ analysis because a pretrial risk assessment was not entered
into the data set, the Tribune found. At least 2,334 felony defendants did not
receive an assessment — to gauge the likelihood they will commit a crime or
fail to reappear if released — and were not part of Evans’ analysis, his office
acknowledged.
“You always think that if
they didn’t release him my son would still be alive, and my grandchildren would
still have their father,” said Michelle Jones-Vincent, the mother of the
victim, Terrell Jones. “That’s always going through your head. I always wonder
if the outcome would have been different if he would have remained incarcerated
and not released on bail.”
Twenty-one defendants released who then
went on to commit murder, when the black judge’s report claimed three. Seven
times the actual number…
We live in a society where law and order is
a concept long retired; in its place is a bastardized form of justice, entirely
racialized to benefit non-white (primarily black) criminals, at the expense of
the declining white majority and the civilization their ancestors long ago
built, but is being dismantled brick by demographic brick.
With a Population 14
Times That of 70% Black Baltimore, New York City Had Fewer Homicides in 2017,
2018, and 2019
02/15/2020

a-
New York City has a
population 14 times that of Baltimore (8.6 million to 619,000).
Over the past three
years, 70 percent black Baltimore has had more murders than New York City.
In 2017. In 2018. And in
2019.
Not per capita, not per
100,000, but in actual numbers.
Think about that for a
moment.
Baltimore has a
population of 619,000 people, of who 70 percent are black.
New York City has a
population of 8.6 million people.
And Baltimore is far,
far more dangerous.
For New York City in
2019:
- There
were 318 homicides, of which 97 percent were
committed by non-whites
For New York City in
2018:
- There
were 289 homicides, of which 95 percent
were committed by non-whites
For New York City in
2017:
- There
were 292 homicides, of which 93 percent
were committed by non-whites
For Baltimore in 2019:
- There
were 348 homicides, of which 98 percent were committed by blacks
For Baltimore in 2018:
- There
were 309 homicides, of which 95 percent
were committed by blacks
For Baltimore in 2017:
- There
were 342 homicides, of which 95 percent
were committed by blacks
Do you understand just how violent the black
population of Baltimore is, and why stop and frisk is such a vital tool for police in
their war against crime?
In 2019, Baltimore had a
homicide rate of 57 per 100,000, making it one of the most dangerous cities on
the planet. Question: What’s the homicide rate for blacks in the city,
considering whites make up 25% of the population yet committed virtually none
of the murders in 2019?
Bloomberg on Who Commits Gun Crimes
Audio of @MikeBloomberg’s 2015 @AspenInstitute speech where he explains that “you can just Xerox (copy)” the description
of male, minorities 16-25 and hand to cops.
Ninety
five percent of your murders, and murderers, and murder victims, fit one M.O.
You can just take the description, Xerox it, and pass it up to all the cops.
They are male,
minority, sixteen to twenty-one. That’s true in New York,
that’s true in virtually every city in the union. And that’s where the real
crime is, you’ve got to get the guns out
of the hands of the people
that are getting killed. So you got to be wondering,
spend the money, put a lot of cops in the street. Put those cops
where the crime is, which means in the minority neighborhoods.
So one effect, one of the
unintended consequences is, people say, Oh my God,
you're arresting kids for marijuana, they’re
all minorities.
Yes, that’s true. Why,
because we put all the cops in the minority neighborhoods, yes that’s true. Why
we do it? Because that’s where all the crime is. And the way you should get the guns out of the kids'
hands is to throw them against the wall and, and frisk them. Then
they start, they say I don’t want to, I don’t want to get caught. They may
still have a gun, but they leave it at home.”
Black Police Chief of
Savannah, GA Admits the Truth to Local NAACP Chapter: Blacks Represent Almost
Every Nonfatal Shooting Suspect in 2019
She was a white female,
her murderers were black men. They shot her in the back and
laughed about it later in court.
It was big news for the
centuries old southern city, because crime in this haunted municipality tends
to be intra-racial.
This writer happened to
be not far from where the inter-racial murder took place, and foolishly
wondered if it would be national news.
Obviously, it would not.
Flash-forward to 2019,
and the majority black city of Savannah is home to one of the most violent
populations in America. Any guess as to who/whom is responsible? One hint:
President Donald Trump is constantly bragging about how low their unemployment
rate is…
Savannah police chief calls
for community engagement at NAACP meeting, SavannahNow.com, January 26, 2020
Savannah
police Chief Roy Minter stressed the importance of community involvement while
discussing the city’s 2019 crime trends at the monthly meeting of the Savannah
Branch of the NAACP on Sunday.
The
police chief, entering his second year in the post, told those in attendance
about the things he set out to address within the department in 2019, including
raising the salaries of newly hired officers, making a more equitable pay
structure for senior staff members and upgrading the technology used by
officers in the field.
Minter
mentioned the shooting briefly in his presentation, saying it was one of “the
challenges that we face on a daily basis.”
He
stressed the need for community involvement, asking those in attendance to come
forward with crime tips.
“Someone
once asked me, they said, ‘You know what, chief? When crime goes up in the
community, people are quick to blame the police chief; they’re quick to blame
the sheriff.’ But they said, ‘You know what? Who holds the community accountable?’”
Minter said.
Minter
said that this year, he hopes to have residents become a more integral part of
policing the city, pointing to a citizen-based initiative used in Texas by
Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson.
One
of the strategies in Dallas’ initiative was to “hire and train credible
messengers from within high violence neighborhoods as violence interrupters to
keep resolvable conflicts from escalating into gun violence,” Minter said.
Other
facets of the Dallas task force that Minter hopes to incorporate in 2020
include adding lighting in dimly lit areas of the city and putting more cameras
in high crime areas.
Shootings
remained prevalent in 2019, especially shootings involving young black men. The
chief said the Central Precinct and East Side Precinct saw the most nonviolent
shootings.
Minter
said that last year, 92% of the victims of nonfatal shootings in Savannah were
black, and 52% of victims were between the ages of 16 and 24. Of those shooting
victims, 83% were black men.
Minter
said the department’s Violent Crimes Task Force alone made 523 felony arrests,
280 misdemeanor arrests and confiscated “almost 270 weapons” and over $200,000
in currency.
“It’s
time for us and Savannah to have a very loud and a very proud anti-violence
message,” Minter said. “We need an anti-violence message that is not just
preached, but it needs to be screamed from the pulpits in our community. It
needs to be screamed from the schools. It needs to be screamed in the streets
and it needs to be screamed in the homes. People need to know how serious our
community is about violence in the community.”
The black police chief
of Savannah basically told the NAACP of this city to tell blacks to stop
committing all of the crime, and then blaming cops for it happening.
Jennifer Ross would be
33 today had she not been shot in the back by three black males on Christmas
Eve back in 2005. No one remembers her name or the circumstances surrounding
her death (three black men murdered her), but we must constantly pretend the
source of black criminality in Savannah is anyone else’s fault save the
individual black people collectively committing it.

Chaser. 3 Suspects Now Charged in
Drug-Linked Killing of Maryland Teen, NBC Washington, February
21, 2020.
Three suspects age 19 and
younger have now been charged in the death of Charles County high schooler
Bradley Brown, county officials announced.
Keshawn Belasco, 16, and
Mikayle Qawwee, 19, of Waldorf, were charged with first-degree murder, gun
charges and armed robbery, the county sheriff’s office said in an update Friday
afternoon. Though Belasco is a juvenile, he was charged as an adult.
Belasco, Qawwee and
17-year-old suspect Darryl Freeman, who was arrested earlier this week,
intended to rob Brown, charging documents say.
Officials said they texted
each other two days prior, with one asking, “Where are the sweet licks?” in an
apparent reference to committing a robbery.
Freeman appeared in court
Friday morning wearing a striped jumpsuit. A judge denied bail.
Brown was killed Tuesday
in the driveway of his home. The North Point High School senior was the son of
a Prince George’s County detective and the brother of two county officers.
According to police, Brown
had been selling THC vape cartridges and Freeman allegedly sold marijuana.
Police said in court documents in Freeman’s case that Brown and Freeman
communicated on Snapchat about the possible sale of THC vape cartridges. Both of the honors
students and school athletes had a gun when they met at Brown’s home, the
documents say. The gun found next to Brown was his father’s service weapon and
hadn’t been fired.
Bradley Brown was a
white teenager. The three individuals charged in murdering him were black
males. These black males had
planned to rob Bradley before the transaction. All of this happened
in the most affluent black county in all of the United States.
His name is Bradley
Brown. Tell your children and grandchildren his story (and his fate), as a
reason you must stay away from drugs.

It’s highly probable
were her family to read this, they’d be more outraged at
us noticing patterns and documenting who/whom murdered Madison Harris than with
her death itself.
She was a white
teenager, living in the post-racial society of Biloxi, Mississippi, where
integration had occurred and members of the white working-class were beginning
to emulate in dress and speech (increasingly in appearance) the culture of
blacks.
Five blacks have now
been arrested and charged in her murder during a robbery attempt. They were all
teenagers.
Five teens charged with
capital murder in death of 16-year-old Biloxi girl,
WLOX.com, February 25, 2020
Five
teenagers are now charged with capital murder in the death of a 16-year-old
Biloxi girl.
The
five juveniles were arrested Monday shortly after the shooting and accused in
the death of Madison Harris.
The
teenagers are identified as follows: Yakeshia L. Blackmon, 17; Willow O.
Blackmon, 15; Jasmine Joy-Sade Kelley, 15; Jarvis Jermaine Cook, 17; and Jaquez
Devonte Porter, 17.
Police
say the five Biloxi teens attempted to use a gun to rob Harris at a home in the
2000 block of Rustwood Drive, which is located just off Popps Ferry Road. An
altercation took place and Harris was shot, said authorities.
The
five juveniles fled in multiple directions, leading police to canvas the
neighborhood looking for them. Witness statements and evidence found at the
scene of the murder led investigators to locate all five suspects shortly after
the shooting and piece together what happened to Harris.
A $1
million bond was set for all of the suspects except Jarvis Cook, who was
already out on bond for an aggravated assault he is accused of committing last
year in Gulfport. Cook is being held without bond.
Nonetheless,
Her Name is Madison Harris. Were the races reversed, your death would be a
national story, with the media trying to find ways to connect this modern-day
lynching to Emmett Till.
As is it, few outside of Biloxi and those reading this piece will ever stumble
across how you died and who/whom took your life.
There
is no double standard in America, only The Standard, dictating white people
have no collective interests or concerns, and that violent interracial crime
can only be reported if a white person (thereby all white people in the USA are
guilty) is the suspect.
And
remember: Their Lives Matter Too.
In 2018 Florida, Blacks
Represent 16% of the Population of the State, But 54 Percent of Homicide
Suspects
02/21/2020
The statistics are right
there, if you just know where to look. Florida is a 53 percent white state. Its
population is 16 percent black.
The 2018 Florida Uniform Crime
Report provides an interesting look at violent crime in the 53
percent white state:
- There
were 712 known homicide offenders in 2018, with 388 of those offenders
being black.
- This
means 54 percent of known homicide offenders in the 16 percent black state
of Florida in 2018 were black.
Though blacks are just 19 percent of the
population, they represented 54 percent of the arrests for homicide in the
state of Florida in 2018.
It should be noted Hispanics are lumped in
with whites in the Florida Uniform Crime Report.
Per capita…
Despite being…
It should also be noted
the publication here of the 2018 Florida Uniform Crime Report racial
demographics for homicide represents the first time this data has been
published by any news site or webzine. Not one newspaper or local
ABC/CBS/NBC/FOX affiliate published this data in the state of Florida.
Racial disparities exist
in the criminal justice system throughout the United States of America because
blacks disproportionately commit the bulk of violent crime, necessitating not
just imprisonment, but the forfeiture of their franchise.
Black Lives Matter activists offended when a black man defends himself with a gun
Schadenfreude is not a very kind emotion, and it can veer dangerously into hubris (which, the Greeks tell us, the gods always punish). Nevertheless, schadenfreude has to be the dominant emotion when a black Democrat who is married to Los Angeles's first black district attorney brandishes a gun at Black Lives Matter activists who showed up early in the morning to protest the D.A.'s belief that her job requires her to prosecute criminals.
In addition to Jackie Lacey, the D.A., and her husband, David, the prime actor in this drama is Melina Abdullah, who identifies herself on Twitter as a "Professor of Pan-African Studies at Cal State LA, #BlackLivesMatter organizer, Pan-Africanist, Hip Hop scholar, womanist, truth-teller, mama." According to Abdullah's speaker's page, she is the ultimate woke scholar, for she is "a recognized expert on race, gender, class, and social movements." Also, she's "a womanist scholar-activist, understanding the role that she plays in the academy as intrinsically linked to broader struggles for the liberation of oppressed people." And one more thing: She's a bully who cries foul when people stand up to her.
According to Abdullah, she and a crowd of BLM protesters showed up early in the morning at Jackie Lacey's house for a "community meeting she promised" and "[r]ang her bell to invite her." Apparently, David Lacey did not feel that this was a friendly invitation. Instead, he opened the door with a gun in hand, warning the activists to leave or get shot and that he was calling the police:
I’m front of DA Jackie Lacey’s house for that community meeting she promised with the @BLMLA crew. Rang her bell to invite her.
Her husband pulled a gun, cocked it, pointed it at my chest and said “I’ll shoot you. I don’t care who you are.” @WP4BL @RealJusticePAC @shaunking
4,358 people are talking about this
More information revealed that Abdullah's "I'm a victim" pose had little to do with the truth. At a press conference later in the day, Jackie Lacey explain what was going on: BLM activists resented the fact that she was acting like a district attorney:
The key takeaways from Lacey's press conference are quite different from Abdullah's version:
Lacey also revealed that protesters have been intimidating her in public and in private, including sending death threats, and have shown up at her home before."Up until now, I have not really wanted to share with you what it's been like," said Lacey. "As District Attorney of LA County, I've received threats, some of them death threats. I have been followed, photographed while with my family, confronted at an art museum, confronted at fundraisers.""All of this is because I chose to do my job," said Lacey. "We expect that people will exercise their First Amendment right. But our home is our sanctuary, and we do not believe — I do not believe — it is fair or right for protesters to show up at the homes of people who dedicate their lives to public service.""I don't think you ever get used to anybody coming to your house. It was frightening," said Lacey. "I deal with this in a calm manner so people think that I'm used to it. Well, I'm here to tell you that I'm not."
It also turned out that despite Abdullah's claim that she "just wanted to talk," that's not really what she wants:
During the press conference, Lacey affirmed that she has been willing to meet with BLM activists, but that the group only wants large events, not small gatherings or one-on-one meetings."It seems like what they like is to embarrass me and intimidate me," said Lacey. "My hope is that one day that might change. That maybe, just maybe, if I keep reaching out, that someone will want to sit down and have a conversation that's productive."
The beauty of this moment is that it's all on the Democrat side of the aisle. The internecine warfare that is breaking down the left is beautiful to behold for those of us who believe we, the American people, are one, rather than that we're dozens of victim groups fighting for our share of government largesse.
Additionally, when one sees a black man wielding a (presumably) legal gun to defend his home and family, we are seeing the Second Amendment in action. When faced with a threatening mob, every American should have some firepower at his back. Kudos to David Lacey for acting appropriately when threatened.
