ABC’s Hostin: Nikki Haley Used ‘Tokenism to the Extreme’ — She Is Insulting Black People

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts Friday on “The View” that GOP presidential hopeful former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) used “tokenism to the extreme” when she said she has black friends at her CNN town hall Thursday night.

On CNN, Haley said, “I should have said slavery right off the bat. But if you grow up in South Carolina, literally in second and third grade, you learn about slavery. You grow up and you have, I had black friends growing up. it is a very talked about thing.”

Co-host Ana Navarro said, “Some of my best friends are black.”

Co-host Joy Behar said, “That never works.”

Co-host Sara Haines said, “And that applies to every minority group. People do it with the LGBTQ community, fill in the blank, with Jewish people, everyone.”

Hostin said, “Can I do a public service announcement as the black person on the panel? Non-black people, when you are trying to convince someone that you are not racist, do not say, I have black friend ever.”

She added, “It’s tokenism to the extreme, and the fact that you are trying to convince me that you have black friends just tells me you don’t. It’s insulting. She also said during this that, although she is the daughter of Indian immigrants, she doesn’t really feel any kind of race. I was troubled by that because the Indian culture is a beautiful culture. It’s an inclusive culture. It’s a strong culture. It’s an old culture.”

Police: Chicago Father Killed Two Women, Wounded an Infant, then Turned Gun on Himself

A Chicago-area man fatally shot his girlfriend and her cousin and wounded his infant son before fleeing the scene and turning the gun on himself, police and members of the victims’ family said.

The tragedy occurred Tuesday night in Cicero, Illinois, about 15 minutes from downtown Chicago.

Local police responded to reports of gunshots at around 7:45 p.m., finding two women badly injured in a home on the 1800 block of South 48 Court, ABC7 reported.

Those two victims, later identified as Jessica Hughes, 29, and Myeshia Newby, 19, died after being rushed to Mt. Sinai Hospital.

The family of the two women, who were cousins, said that Newby’s boyfriend shot her before shooting Hughes as she was attempting to escape with Newby’s infant son, Arturo, whom Newby shared with the alleged shooter.

The gunfire grazed the baby, but he is stable and recovering at Comer Children’s Hospital after undergoing surgery.

According to relatives of the victims, the couple was apparently arguing over a “Link” card — otherwise known as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.

“It went from one thing to the next. There was never any loud hollering or anything,” Hughes’ father, Mitchell Benton, told ABC7.

The heartbroken dad recounted the moment he heard Newby arguing with her boyfriend of two years in the basement of the home.

“He come back down and said, ‘Here, look at my wallet.’ She said, ‘You done went up there and took it out.’ So, she said, ‘Well, ain’t no point in me looking in it then.’ And the next thing I know, I’m hearing shot,” he explained.

Benton said that Hughes was trying to protect Arturo when she was shot.

“My daughter dropped at my feet. She had the baby in her hand. She had been shot in the face and in the chest,” he said, adding that he fought the alleged shooter, but he managed to get away. 

With help from the grieving family, Cicero police were able to locate 21-year-old Rafael Vega, dead from a self-inflicted gunshot in a park near 16th Street and Central Avenue early Wednesday morning. 

Officials named Vega as the suspected shooter at a press conference later that evening.

“Preliminarily, the subject in the park does appear to be the subject we were seeking,” said Cicero Police Superintendent Thomas Boyle.

“It’s devastating for the whole family,” Hughes’ mother, Michelle Musgray, said. “They were loving, both of them, loving moms, good souls, good people, loved their kids. Their kids were their world.”

Newby would have turned 20 on Thursday.

“There’s no celebration. You can’t celebrate life. There is no life,” Benton said.

Man stabbed on Bronx subway platform for wishing strangers happy new year

A man was pummeled and stabbed on a Bronx subway platform by a group of strangers who took offense when he wished them a happy new year, police said Thursday.

The 29-year-old victim was waiting for a Manhattan-bound D train at the 182-183rd St. station in Fordham when he said “Happy new year” to the four fellow straphangers about 8:45 p.m. Monday, cops said.

The men began arguing with the victim, then punched him in the face and body, according to cops.

As the New Year’s day beatdown escalated, one of the men pulled a knife and stabbed the well-wisher multiple times, leaving him bleeding on the platform.

Medics rushed the victim to St. Barnabas Hospital in serious but stable condition.

His four attackers ran out of the station and have not been caught.

Cops on Thursday released surveillance images of the four suspects in the hopes someone recognizes them.

All of the brawlers are believed to be about 5-foot-8 with slim builds. One sported braids while another had braids and glasses, cops said.

A third attacker had long hair and was wearing red-and-black checkerboard-style pants while a fourth wore a black jacket and a black ski mask.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.


Teen robbed at knifepoint inside her Bronx home by man she met on Grindr

A teen was robbed at knifepoint inside her Bronx home by a man she met on the dating hook up app Grindr, police said Wednesday.

The 19-year-old victim met her possible match on the popular app aimed at gay men and made a plan to meet up at her apartment near E. 187th St. and Beaumont Ave. in Belmont on Dec. 29, cops said.

But after the man showed up about 4 a.m. he put a knife to her throat, snatched her cellphone and fled.

The woman was left rattled but unharmed. No arrests have been made.

Cops on Wednesday released images of the suspect in the hopes that someone recognizes him.

This is not the first time a meet up arranged on Grindr ended in violence.

In 2020, cops charged Bronx man Juan Alonso, 50, with murder, manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon, for hacking up a man he met on Grindr with a machete.

Anyone with information on the robbery suspect is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.

Parents Yolanda Hunter and Herman Coleman are on the run. Just before Christmas Day, Mississippi police responded to a call from a man who found the body of an infant, unresponsive, on his doorstep. Now the cops have named the boy’s mother, Hunter, and boyfriend, Coleman, as suspects in his death.

Prodigy Hunter, 1 years old, was found with a massive amount of trauma and bruises to the body on Dec. 21, said Jackson Police Chief Joseph Wade in a press conference. After being transferred to the hospital, he died upon succumbing to his injuries.

The Jackson Police Department issued warrants for Hunter and Coleman. They are facing capital murder and could be sentenced to death upon a conviction. Authorities said Coleman has been on the run since the day Prodigy died and Hunter has been MIA since bailing out.

Prodigy is one of Hunter’s five children, all of whom are in custody of the Mississippi Department of Child Protective Services. The chief said the department is investigating whether the others showed signs of being abused.

This is only the latest cruel and unusual death of a Black child. Another 1-year-old boy died in a Bronx daycare after being exposed to fentanyl. A 1-year-old girl died after being left in a scorching hot car while being transported to a daycare in Nebraska. Not to mention, many baby Jane and John Does have been identified recently after their remains were found mutilated and discarded.


Report: Nation’s Capital Recorded More Homicides in 2023 than Any Year Since 1997

The nation’s capital recorded more homicides in 2023 than any year since 1997, marking the fifth-highest murder rate among the nation’s biggest cities, according to a report.

The Washington Post reported Monday that 274 people were confirmed victims in 2023, with 19 of them children and young teenagers.

The rate of homicides was 40 per 100,000 residents. In 1997, 302 people were killed.

D.C. came in only behind New Orleans, Cleveland, Baltimore, and Memphis, but ahead of New York and Chicago, according to the report.

Every ward in D.C. experienced homicides with most enduring “significant overall increases in violent crime,” according to the report.

There was an arrest by late November in only 75 cases.

In those cases, nearly half was due to an “argument.” At least 12 cases were domestic disputes, eight were robberies and five were neighborhood conflicts.

More than 90 percent of the killings through December 27 were by gunfire, the report said. The number of juveniles killed by gunfire doubled in 2023 from the year before — 16 from eight. More juveniles also pulled triggers in 2023 than in the past, the report said.

In the first nine months of 2023, police made 458 arrests of juveniles for robbery, homicide, or assault with a dangerous weapon — a 10 percent increase from the same period the year before.

“It’s been a tough year,” Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser told the Post in an interview.

Prosecutors Seeking Death Penalty for Arizona Hiking Trail Murder Suspect

Zion Teasley, Lauren Heike
Family of Lauren Heike, Maricopa County Sheriff's Office

The Arizona man accused of murdering a young woman on a Phoenix hiking trail in April, shortly after his release from prison, will get the death penalty if prosecutors get their way, ABC15 revealed Friday.

The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office is seeking to put 22-year-old Zion Teasley to death for allegedly ambushing and fatally stabbing 29-year-old Lauren Heike, the victim’s family told ABC15.

Grieving parents Jeff and Lana Heike wrote in a statement that they “support” the prosecutors’ decision to get justice for their daughter, and expressed how their “hearts continue to break over her life being cut short by the violent actions of another.”

The woman’s body was found April 29 outside a neighborhood near Scottsdale Road and Mayo Boulevard, just south of Loop 101, a semi-beltway looping around the Phoenix Metropolitan Area in central Arizona, AZ Family.com reported.

Lauren Heike’s body was discovered April 29 on a trail near a neighborhood in the Phoenix metropolitan area, Breitbart News previously reported. 

Court documents obtained by the New York Post say Heike was chased down by Teasley before he allegedly stabbed her 15 times in the back and the chest.

The suspect was seen fleeing the scene in footage shared by Phoenix Police in an effort to find him.

Teasley was reportedly located and arrested at his nearby apartment complex several days later after his DNA and cell phone location data linked him to the murder.

Upon examining her body, Heike’s injuries appeared to be consistent with a pocketknife that Teasley possessed.

The suspect had been let out of prison just five months prior to the attack after being convicted of armed robbery and disorderly conduct, ABC15 reported.

Local authorities also said Teasley had recently been fired from his job for getting “aggressive toward female employees” and was “suspected of stealing merchandise.”

The 22-year-old had also reportedly told homicide investigators that he wanted to look like Heike, suggesting he could have been stalking her before the ambush.

However, he pleaded not guilty to his first-degree murder charge in May.

“We know that our journey through the criminal justice system is just beginning, but we will be there every step of the way to ensure that Lauren receives justice,” Heike’s heartbroken parents wrote.

They added that they “want Lauren to be remembered for the beautiful and kind person that she was. We have hope and find joy in the knowledge that we will someday be reunited with Lauren.”

Teasley’s next court date was not immediately announced.

California's Cities in Crisis Due to Crime: State Nightmare




NYC Man Who Allegedly Stabbed Teen Girls on Christmas and Yelled ‘I Want All the White People Dead’ Already out of Jail

Steven Hutcherson
NYPD

A man accused of stabbing two teenagers at New York City’s Grand Central Terminal on Christmas Day has been released back onto the streets.

The alleged assailant, Steven Hutcherson, 36, of the Bronx, allegedly attacked two teenage girls at the Tartinery in the Grand Central Dining Concourse on Monday after arguing with restaurant staff over sitting in the establishment’s area. According to reports, he remarked that the two teen girls, 14 and 16, were allowed to sit there, ultimately pulling out a knife and stabbing them — one in the thigh and the other in the back, the latter of whom was treated for a collapsed lung at Bellevue Hospital.

The man allegedly shouted racist remarks as well. Law enforcement sources told the New York Post at the time that the man yelled, “I want all the white people dead,” and “I want to sit next to the crackers.”

This is far from the man’s first infraction. According to the Post, he has been arrested “17 times over the last two decades — and the subject of more than a half dozen domestic violence complaints by a Manhattan woman he has allegedly stalked for over a year, according to sources.”

Further, he was recently put back on the streets by Judge Matthew Grieco, whom Mayor Eric Adams (D) appointed, with a conditional discharge after threatening a stranger. According to reports, he shouted at the victim, “Why are you working for white people? I’m going to kill this man.”

He then allegedly threatened to shoot the victim, adding, “I don’t care what kind of green card the government gave you. Open your mouth and say something. I will shoot you right now.”

That hearing for that incident was on December 12, mere weeks before he allegedly stabbed the two teenagers.

“If the judge had only held this individual accountable, two innocent tourists, children, may have had a Merry Christmas instead of an ‘attempted murderous’ Christmas,” a law enforcement source told the Post, which detailed more of Hutcherson’s history of violence and mental health episodes:

He’s also had a string of encounters with cops for mental health disturbances, most recently on Dec. 5, when he was found acting unruly outside a Bronx apartment building and brought to St. Barnabas Hospital for psychiatric evaluation by police, the sources said.

Prior to that incident, officers found him standing on the fire escape of that same building on Mt. Hope Place screaming while refusing to come down on Nov. 27, according to the sources. Then too, he was brought to St. Barnabas Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation.

He had his share of run-ins with law enforcement in 2023, too — once for resisting arrest after walking into a Bronx precinct stationhouse “acting belligerent and refused to leave, prompting cops to arrest him and find a dagger and switchblade on him,” per the Post. He later received a 15-day sentence after smashing a display case at the Bergdorf Goodman department store.

This only adds to the continued critiques of woke judges and prosecutors going soft on crime, particularly in big, blue cities such as New York City. Meanwhile, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg busies himself by targeting former President Donald Trump while crime runs rampant — a point emphasized by House Republicans:

BLACKS ARE THE MOST VIOLENT SUBCULTURE IN THE WORLD! AMERICA'S CRIME TIDAL WAVE IS BLACK AND THEY DON'T WARRANT A REWARD FOR ASSAULTS, MURDER, HOME INVASIONS, CARJACKINGS AND STORE LOOTINGS!

Making a silk purse from the crime-ridden rubble of 'anti-racism'

By M.B. Mathews

Much has been said by many trying to excuse bad behavior. Inner cities have crime because… racism. Blue cities are dirty and noisy because… racism. White flight happens because… racism. Black unwed motherhood is on the rise and has become epidemic because… racism. No other reasons are given by black leadership for the failures of blacks to thrive except for… racism.

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.

Chicago Mayor on Increase in Most Violent Crime: ‘Reparations’ Money Will Help

On Wednesday’s broadcast of “CNN This Morning,” Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson responded to a question on an uptick in most violent crime categories in the city in 2023 by stating that homicides and shootings have fallen and money “for restoration and reparations” will help address the “cycle of violence” in the city.

Co-host Poppy Harlow asked, “I do want to ask you about crime in Chicago, just poring through the latest data from the Chicago Police Department, the murder rate is down from 2022, but all other forms of violent crime, Mr. Mayor, are up from a year ago, up 17% overall. Are Chicagoans going to be safer in 2024?”

Johnson responded, “Well, what I’ve built within these last seven months — in order for us to have a better, stronger, and safer Chicago, it really requires the full force of government. And as you’ve indicated, homicides are down, shootings are down, but, yes, what we’ve experienced in the city of Chicago, cities all over the country are experiencing. And I’ve just released my full-out community safety plan that not only gets at the root causes of violence in the city of Chicago, but we’re making critical investments. Those investments look like what I’ve presented in my last budget, a quarter of a billion dollars to address homelessness, $100 million for violence prevention. We added 80 million more dollars to our youth employment program, of which we hired 25,000 young people just this summer, that’s a 20% increase from the previous year. I’m going to hire 4,000 additional young people this summer. We have stood up an entire office dedicated to re-entry, so individuals who are returning to our communities who have been incarcerated, because of failed policies, we’ll have a welcoming space for them. I’ve added a half a million dollars for restoration and reparations to address, again, the cycle of violence, which looks like school closings, the closing of mental health facilities, [in] which I’ve invested in now. We’re going to open up two mental health clinics that were closed from two previous administrations ago. And so, in order for us to build a better, stronger, safer Chicago, it requires investments, and that’s what this budget has done.”

CHAZ Gets the CHOP: Seattle’s ‘Black Lives Matter’ Garden Removed

CHAZ guerilla gardening
Scott Adams on Twitter

A garden planted in 2020 in honor of the Black Lives Matter movement by rioters 2020 inside the so-called Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) — formerly the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest (CHOP) — has been removed by Seattle authorities.

The CHAZ, or CHOP, formed within a six-block area of Seattle in June 2020 after rioters were successful in forcing police to abandon the Eastern Precinct. For several weeks, anarchy ensued, until murders in the zone, and pressure from President Donald Trump, prompted its removal.

As Breitbart News’ Penny Starr reported at the time: “The occupied area includes a park, which is also being taken over by the people inside the zone, and the Seattle Times penned a feature about the “guerilla gardening” as part of a “new communal effort.”

Activists took over part of the Cal Anderson Park where circles had been mowed in the grass to encourage social distancing and turned the circles into gardens. The Times noted that activists described the garden as a form of “reparations” for racism.

Now, however, the Times reports that the city has had enough, after the garden attracted crime and became a public nuisance:

The city cited unsafe conditions in and around the Black Lives Memorial Garden, including vandalism of park restrooms, drug use and camping. Releasing statements from several Black leaders supporting its approach, the city also vowed to “conceptualize” a new garden elsewhere at the park.

Black Star Farmers, the group that stewarded the garden, denounced the removal in a statement, saying people who used the space are “mourning the destruction of the physical embodiment of years of collaboration, connecting with plant life” and sharing knowledge, food and medicine.

“In recent months, the temporary garden has created unsafe conditions for all park users, including the vandalism of Cal Anderson public bathrooms, public drug use, unauthorized camping and a significant rodent problem, along with other issues,” [Seattle Parks spokesperson Rachel] Schulkin said.

Seattle saw a political backlash in the wake of the 2020 riots, with Police Chief Carmen Best — the first black woman to hold the post — retiring, and a Republican elected as city attorney the following year, an extremely rare event in a deeply liberal city.

‘I Want All the White People Dead’: Thug w/17 Prior Arrests Stabs Teen Girls




Hutcherson has been arrested twice in the last six months

The pro-crime policies known as “criminal justice reform” took our society into a hellhole by eliminating what they called “carceral” solutions. That meant arrested criminals got out of jail with no bail, instead of being sent to jail when convicted they went to diversion therapy and any kind of mandatory minimums were eliminated. But there’s a reason we had all of those things.

And one of the big reasons is that it’s a small percentage of the population that causes most of the trouble.

While the media loves to talk about mass shooters and serial killers, it’s an 0.1 percent of repeat offenders who are the problem. Lock them up and crime drops the way that it did in the nineties. Let them loose and we go right back to the seventies.

Take this psycho who racked up 17 arrests, threatened someone with a gun last month and repeatedly threatened people with violence.

The horror that happened could have been averted if we had a functioning prison system and mandatory minimums.

Instead, this happened.

The man who stabbed two teenage girls on vacation from South America at Grand Central Terminal’s has 17 prior arrests and was just let out of jail two weeks before he said ‘I want all the white people dead’ during his attack.

Steven Hutcherson, 36, is said to have gotten into an argument with staff at Tartinery who told him he could not sit in the restaurant’s seating area.

That argument led to the attack on the innocent girls, aged 16 and 14, who were visiting from Paraguay.

One of the girls was stabbed in the thigh while the other was stabbed in the back, nicking her lung.

Hutcherson has been charged with attempted murder, assault, criminal possession of a weapon and endangering the welfare of a child.

So does this mean he’ll finally be locked up? Don’t bet too hard on it.

Counting his November 7 charge, Hutcherson has been arrested twice in the last six months for intimidating people while brandishing a gun in the Bronx.

He pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of third-degree assault, a misdemeanor, and was sentenced Dec. 12 to conditional discharge, the Bronx District Attorney’s Office said.

Hutcherson’s arrest last month followed his Oct. 27 sentencing to 15 days in jail in an earlier case from this summer, also in the Bronx, the DA’s Office said.

It’s not clear how much of the 15 days Hutcherson actually served.

Hutcherson was also arrested on Oct. 2 and charged with smashing a display case at the Bergdorf Goodman department store in Manhattan, causing $81,000 in damage, according to a criminal complaint.

Manhattan prosecutors said he was initially ordered held on $3,000 bail in that case and pleaded guilty to second-degree menacing on Oct. 12 for which he was also sentenced to 15 days in jail.

With no functioning prison system, this is what we get. Criminal justice reform urgently needs to be dismantled. And its proponents should never hold any kind of public office again.

Antonio Perez/Chicago Tribune/Tribune News Service via Getty Images

A 30-year-old woman was shot in the head and killed while driving the day after Christmas in Mayor Brandon Johnson’s (D) Chicago.

ABC 7 reported that police received reports of a vehicle crash “in the 4800-block of West Thomas Street” around 8:44 p.m. Tuesday. They responded to find a 30-year-old woman with a gunshot wound to the head behind the wheel of a vehicle that had hit two others.

The woman was deceased.

Witnesses reported seeing a man and a woman fleeing the deceased woman’s vehicle after the crash.

Breitbart News noted at least 18 people were shot in Chicago during the first two days of the Christmas weekend alone, and two of those shooting victims succumbed to their wounds.

A homicide database maintained by the Chicago Sun-Times indicates that 580 people were killed in Chicago January 1, 2023, through December 26, 2023.

In other news, a concealed carry permit holder foiled an alleged armed robbery Saturday afternoon in Chicago, shooting and killing one of the suspected robbers, according to reports.

CWB Chicago reported that the incident occurred just prior to 5:00 p.m. “in an alley behind the 1700 block of West Cortez,” and that one of the alleged robbers was fatally wounded. The deceased is a 19-year-old man who was taken to a hospital with a gunshot wound to his chest and pronounced dead upon arrival.

The concealed carry permit holder is a 68-year-old man.

THE DEPRAVED GHETTO BLACK CULTURE IN AMERICA  - Is it the world’s most violent subculture?

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

beforethe 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.

 

Making a silk purse from the crime-ridden rubble of 'anti-racism'

By M.B. Mathews

Much has been said by many trying to excuse bad behavior. Inner cities have crime because… racism. Blue cities are dirty and noisy because… racism. White flight happens because… racism. Black unwed motherhood is on the rise and has become epidemic because… racism. No other reasons are given by black leadership for the failures of blacks to thrive except for… racism.

But racism does not account for these failures. Failure accounts for these failures: Failure to educate. Failure to instill a work ethic. Failure to be good and to do good. Failure to teach respect and good manners to young children. Failure to revere and promote healthy two-parent families. Failure to discourage sexual profligacy. Failure to demand excellence. Failure to reject profanity and embrace decency and honor. Instead, too many in the Black community have embraced the dysfunction within the Black culture with pride, claiming a unique historical experience that they say no one understands but other Black people.

It has been long enough making excuses for Black failures and it is past time for the respectable Black people of America to rise up against the jealous race-baiters and say “No more.” There is nothing preventing Black success that a Judeo-Christian perspective cannot address successfully. Love your neighbor means don’t steal, don’t do the crime. Be nice to each other. Respect the property and lives of others. Be on time (terribly unfashionable among “anti-racists”), work hard (ditto), have a plan to succeed, and above all get educated at a school that does not indoctrinate but educates, which excludes most urban government schools. Unasked-for advice: Do not respect, honor, or adopt the malignant principles of those who teach anti-white racism in the guise of Critical Race Theory, Diversity-Equity-Inclusion, or “Anti-Racism” (anti-white racism with an oxymoronic name.)

When a group blames others, they will not succeed because they are always relying on those others to change. When the blamed ones don’t change, the professional victims believe that it’s perfectly okay to steal, cheat, lie, and break other people’s stuff in the name of reparations. That is not the path to success or to a better place in life, although it is a temporary frisson of schadenfreude.

Crime in Blue cities is off the charts because Soros-appointed district attorneys have banded together to excuse crime committed by Black perpetrators. This harms Black people first, then Black neighborhoods, Black aspirations and in itself is criminal. When you teach theft, you get theft. When you get theft, good businesses leave your neighborhood. When they do leave, they take the economic base with them, and who gets hurt? Innocent, freedom-loving, decent people get hurt because they’re often stuck there with the crime they tolerated. The raped businesses will leave and set up shop where they are welcomed.

No one is helped by trying to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear: The sow’s ear cannot up and leave the sow. And silk is never made from putrefying pig flesh.

The time is now for decent Black people everywhere to confront those among them who are committing the crimes. Refund the police. Create deterrence to crime by actually prosecuting it, from Broken Windows to retail theft, to murder. Don’t be Chicago, LA, or NYC.

And for God’s sake, stop blaming others for the failures of your own house. Blame is not a strategy that keeps very long without starting to rot.

https://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2019/10/ghetto-black-violence-in-america-dr.html

 

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.

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

 

By John Dale Dunn

 

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,

 

https://www.city-journal.org/html/hard-data-hollow-protests-15458.html

of crime and policing than this weekend’s demonstrations suggest.

Heather Mac Donald

 

 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.

A new study affirms what many public policy analysts say is intuitive — that unstable family structure, including chaotic households and single-parent homes, is a primary factor in racial disparities in school behavior and suspensions.

The study, conducted by senior fellows Nicholas Zill and W. Bradford Wilcox at the Institute for Family Studies, asserts education policymakers “must recognize that social and psychological problems in youth may manifest themselves at school but have their origins in family situations over which the school has little or no control.”

NEW: On Black-White divide in school suspensions

-More than 50% of gap explained by Family Structure

The authors find in their new analysis of the National Household Education Survey (NHES) that, in 2016, about 24 percent of black elementary and high school students had been suspended at least once, while eight percent of white students and only four percent of Asian students had the same experience.

 

The researchers note the NHES shows “black students are far more likely to be living apart from their married birth parents in the home (72%) compared to white students (37%) or Asian students (26%).”

 

“These family structure differences, then, are likely to play a role in inter- and intra-racial disparities in student conduct and discipline,” the authors state, and add:

Indeed, among black students who do live with both married birth parents, suspension rates are less than half as large as those for black students living in other family types: 12% versus 28%. The suspension rate for black students living in intact families, 12%, is also less than the suspension rate for white students from non-intact families, 13%.

 

The study also found that family structure even accounts for more of the racial disparities in school suspensions than socioeconomic factors.

When the researchers controlled for family structure, they discovered the racial disparities in school suspensions reduced by 55 percent. Controlling for socioeconomic status reduced the racial differences by only 38 percent.

“These results, then, suggest that family structure is a signal factor in accounting for real differences in school conduct and school suspensions,” the authors state. “This is especially noteworthy because discussions related to racial disparities in school discipline often overlook the role of family structure and highlight socioeconomic explanations.”

Zill and Wilcox assert that, while examples of racism exist, “there are legitimate reasons for believing that some of the racial differences in school suspensions and discipline are based upon real, not just perceived, differences in students’ behavior”:

We focus here on the possibility that some of these differences are related to family factors, including notable differences in family structure by race. Students who come from chaotic homes, single-parent families, or non-intact families are less likely to get the consistent attention, affection, and discipline they need to flourish and develop self-control. Their families typically have less money, which affects the quality of their neighborhoods and their neighborhood peers, which is also an important influence on school conduct. And they are also more likely to be exposed to conflict, stress, frequent moves, and neglect—all risk factors for delinquent and disruptive behavior. Indeed, our data indicate that rates of school contact for student misbehavior are nearly twice as high among students living with separated or divorced parents as among those living with stably married parents. And they are higher still among students who live apart from both biological parents, being cared for instead by grandparents or foster parents.

The researchers say that, in order to see a drop in school suspensions among black children and adolescents, black family life must be stabilized and reinforced:

Such efforts should include criminal justice reform, ending marriage penalties in means-tested policies, subsidizing the wages of low-income workers, and launching local and national campaigns directed by black religious, civic, and cultural leaders to strengthen marriage in the black community. Efforts like these are needed because, our research suggests, increasing the number of African American children who are raised by stably married parents would dramatically increase the odds that black girls and boys steer clear of the principal’s office—and increase the odds they flourish in school, avoid contact with the criminal justice system, and, later in life, excel in the labor force further down the road.

“[S]tronger black families would go a long way towards reducing racial disparities in school discipline,” Zill and Wilcox assert.

The study comes as Obama-era holdovers and other progressives continue the narrative that racial disparities in school suspensions and discipline are due to systemic factors such as institutional racism.

The Obama Departments of Education and Justice, under Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Attorney General Eric Holder, issued public school guidelines that claimed students of color are “disproportionately impacted” by suspensions and expulsions, a situation they said led to a “school-to-prison pipeline” that discriminates against minority and low-income students.

The policy, however, essentially blamed systemic racism for the fact that black and other minority students have been punished and suspended more than white and Asian students. Recommended remedies for the problem included eliminating suspensions for unacceptable behavior by minority students and urging, instead, their participation in “restorative talking circles” and “positive behavior interventions.”

In December 2018, the Trump administration revoked the Obama-era policy that urged public schools to employ these more lenient forms of discipline for students of color and of other minority groups.

The U.S. Departments of Education and Justice rescinded the Obama administration’s 2014 “Dear Colleague Letter” that a federal school safety commission said “may have paradoxically contributed to making schools less safe.”

The outcry from parents, teachers, some media outlets, and many education analysts and stakeholders has been piercing, with most pointing to the rise in “dangerousness” in public schools.

Nevertheless, in July, Democrat members of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission urged the White House and Congress to continue the Obama-era race-based discipline policy.

The commission’s report, titled “Beyond Suspensions: Examining School Discipline Policies and Connections to the School-to-Prison Pipeline for Students of Color with Disabilities,” stated, “[D]ata have consistently shown that the overrepresentation of students of color in school discipline rates is not due to higher rates of misbehavior by these students, but instead is driven by structural and systemic factors.”

The commission’s report was released as the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) issued its analysis indicating a rise in serious incidents of violence in the nation’s public schools:

Even a Democrat state lawmaker — New York State Sen. Leroy Comrie — and Teamsters President Gregory Floyd, who represents school safety officers — referred to the Obama-era policy as one that has led to “chaos” and a lack of “accountability” for dangerous behavior.

Two members of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission — Peter Kirsanow and Gail Heriot — dissented from the commission’s majority report.

Kirsanow wrote at National Review the report is “essentially a defense of the Obama Department of Education’s 2014 ‘Dear Colleague’ letter that used disparate-impact theory to interpret racial disparities in school discipline as evidence of racial discrimination.”

To progressives, “any racial disparity necessarily means invidious racial discrimination,” Kirsanow asserted, adding:

It’s undisputed that black students, as a group, are disciplined more than white students. For the commission majority, this is evidence of racially disparate treatment, as it’s an article of faith that discipline disparities aren’t due to disparities in behavior.

Kirsanow observed the commission’s report ignored key statistics in order to craft its narrative of racial discrimination against students of color.

He pointed to his colleague Heriot’s statement in which she said, “In the report, the Commission finds ‘Students of color as a whole, as well as by individual racial group, do not commit more disciplinable offenses than their white peers.’”

“That would be a good thing if it were true, but there is no evidence to support it and abundant evidence to the contrary,” she asserted, adding that what accounts for differing rates of misbehavior among students of color “likely” includes “differing rates of poverty, differing rates of fatherless households, differing parental education, differing achievement in school, and histories of policy failures and injustices.”

Kirsanow called for those truly concerned about improving education in the United States to “disregard” the report released by the majority of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission.

“Claiming that racism or dislike of children with disabilities accounts for disparate rates of discipline only stokes resentment and erodes personal responsibility,” he asserted. “The supposed cures of ‘restorative practices’ and ‘positive behavioral interventions and supports’ only make it more likely that children in minority neighborhoods who want to learn will be less able to do so, and that teachers and children will be at the mercy of school bullies.”

 

American Terror Simps Are a Minority Problem, Not an 18-24 Year Old One

18% of black people have a positive view of Osama bin Laden.

In the journalism business, you’re not supposed to bury the lede. Unless it makes for better or less politically incorrect clickbait.

Polls pushing the idea that 18-24-year-olds uniquely support Hamas or Al Qaeda are sexy. Breaking down the numbers though reveals what’s going on.

Why is the 18-24 year old generation seemingly so bad? Sure, young people tend to extremism and, as I’ve pointed out before, the majority of 18-24-year-olds are not registered voters, so when you poll only those who are, you get very political people. And with that age demo, political tends to be extreme. The other missing piece of the puzzle is that this is a very diverse generation.

The most diverse generation ever.

The Daily Mail hypes its poll as about 18-24-year-olds.

“One in five young Americans has a positive view of 9/11 mastermind and Al Qaeda founder Osama Bin Laden, according to disturbing results of a DailyMail.com poll.

The alarming survey also found three in 10 Gen Z voters believe the views of the anti-Semitic terrorist leader who slaughtered thousands of innocent people were a ‘force for good’.

Family members of 9/11 victims said the findings are ‘horrifying’ and proof of a startling trend suggesting some in the younger generation are growing sympathetic to terrorists.”

The Daily Mail’s own breakdown shows that only 3% of white people have a completely positive view of Bin Laden, 4% have a somewhat positive one, and 84% have a completely negative one.

7% of black people have a completely positive view of Osama, 11% have a somewhat positive one, 15% have mixed feelings, 9% don’t know, 7% are somewhat negative and only 50% have a completely negative view of the terror leader who killed thousands: including plenty of black people.

Among Hispanics, 9% have a completely positive view of Osama, 6% have a somewhat positive view, 11% are mixed, 15% don’t know, 7% have a somewhat negative view and only 51% are completely negative.

This isn’t a generational issue, it’s a racial one. It does get worse generationally among white people and minorities, but a major reason it gets worse generationally is added diversity.

These are simply the facts. It gives me no pleasure to report them.

I can throw in caveats. J.L. Partners, the pollster, is a British Tory pollster and much of its previous polling seems to have been UK based. The Daily Mail isn’t too credible and the questions would have been pushed to produce a particular response. I don’t have access to the poll itself, so who knows how bad it was. But at the same time these results probably do reflect a reality, even if not within these exact percentages, that we should be coming to grips with if we want to think about where America is going.
