BLACKS ARE THE MOST VIOLENT SUBCULTURE IN THE WORLD!
This means blacks are 9.28 times more likely than whites to be arrested for homicide in 2019 St. Louis. And remember: Only suspects are known in only 42 percent of the cases… odds the 58 percent of the remaining cases have a black suspect? Pretty high.

The Metropolitan Police Department is asking for the public’s help in identifying a man in connection with a violent robbery that happened Wednesday in downtown Las Vegas.
The robber is described as a black male who’s 5-foot-11 to 6-foot-2, police said in a statement. He was last seen wearing a black hooded sweater, black pants, black shoes, black eyeglasses and a black baseball cap.
The man and an elderly woman were inside an elevator at 9:21 p.m. Wednesday on the 300 block of Fremont Street, police said in a statement.
When the elevator door opened and the woman tried to leave, the man put her in a headlock, police said. The man threw the woman to the floor and punched her “numerous times” in the face, according to the statement.
The robber took the woman’s purse and hid it in his sweater, police said. The woman’s purse was later found nearby by security personnel.
Anyone with information should call Metro’s downtown investigations unit at 702-828-4314. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555 or crimestoppersofnv.com.
Tips submitted through Crime Stoppers that lead directly to an arrest or indictment may be eligible for a cash reward.

Killing A MURDER Gone Wrong?
Our good friends at the
St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department not only put out an annual
report on crime broken down by race, but a weekly analysis
of the yearly crime rate.
Also, conveniently, the
SLMPD breaks out violent crime by the race of suspects.
For 2019, there were 194
homicides in the city, with 175 of the victims being black (90%).
Suspects are known in only
42 percent of the homicides, with 75 of the suspects being black and 7 being
white (there were 15 white victims of homicide in St. Louis in 2019).
Thus, in 2019 St. Louis,
black suspects represent 91 percent of known suspects.
This means blacks are 9.28 times more
likely than whites to be arrested for homicide in 2019 St. Louis. And remember:
Only suspects are known in only 42 percent of the cases… odds the 58 percent of
the remaining cases have a black suspect? Pretty high.
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.
IT’S TIME TO START DEALING WITH GHETTO BLACK HATE, VIOLENCE,

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.

CITY
JOURNAL
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.
Suspect allegedly shot mother 3 times at Las Vegas credit union

Updated January 16, 2020 - 1:33 pm
A 32-year-old man who authorities said shot his mother three times before firing at police at a credit union in southwest Las Vegas was ordered held on $300,000 bail on Thursday.
William Cass Jackson faces charges of attempted murder with use of a deadly weapon, burglary while in possession of a gun, robbery with use of a deadly weapon, discharging a gun in a prohibited area, robbery with use of a deadly weapon, carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, assault on a protected person with a deadly weapon, battery with use of a deadly weapon resulting in substantial bodily harm on an elderly victim, first-degree kidnapping, assault and domestic battery.
The charges stem from a shooting on Wednesday at Navy Federal Credit Union, 6975 Spring Mountain Road, near Rainbow Boulevard.
Police said at the time that a woman at the business, later identified as Jackson’s mother, suffered multiple gunshot wounds about 9:15 a.m. Las Vegas police chased a suspect involved in the shooting, with police firing several shots at the man. The suspect then barricaded himself in a parking lot near Rainbow Boulevard and Desert Inn Road. Police safely took the suspect into custody after about 90 minutes of negotiations.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Peter Thunell told Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Joe Bonaventure that Jackson held his mother, whose age and name were not released, at gunpoint inside her home before forcing her to the credit union and withdraw $2,000 before shooting her. When police arrived, he fired at officers, the prosecutor said.
“The state has very real concerns with this case for obvious reasons,” Thunell said. “What we have in this case is just so dangerous, to the victim and to the community at large.”
The woman’s condition was not available as of Thursday morning.
Deputy Public Defender Josie Bayudan pointed out that Jackson had no criminal history, and had lived in Las Vegas for 10 years.
“So obviously, this incident is an aberration,” she said, asking for Jackson to be released on house arrest. “It’s not his character, and I’m sure there is a reason why this happened that can mitigate the seriousness of the offenses.”
Bonaventure acknowledged the lack of a criminal past, but called the allegations “very disturbing.”

North Las Vegas 7-Eleven
clerk charged with
attempted murder
January 16, 2020 - 12:12 pm
Don't miss the big stories. Like us on Facebook.
A North Las Vegas convenience store clerk is facing an attempted murder charge in the Wednesday shooting of a transient man near the store.
North Las Vegas police said Anthony Wright, 27, was arrested on charges of attempted murder with a deadly weapon, possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, possession of stolen property (handgun), and destroy/conceal evidence at the Las Vegas City Jail.
Police said on Wednesday morning that the convenience store clerk, later identified as Wright, was working at a 7-Eleven on East Lake Mead Boulevard, near Las Vegas Boulevard North, when he was stabbed by a person trespassing in the business. Police said the clerk then followed the trespasser to a nearby area bus stop and shot him.
Both the clerk and trespasser suffered non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
On Thursday North Las Vegas police issued a press release stating the 6 a.m. incident started with a “fight” at the store.
“After an extensive investigation in this case, North Las Vegas Detectives booked Wright,” police said.
The press release did not provide additional details of the investigation or affirm that Wright was, in fact, stabbed during the altercation.

A North Las Vegas convenience store clerk is facing an attempted murder charge in the Wednesday shooting of a transient man near the store.
North Las Vegas police said Anthony Wright, 27, was arrested on charges of attempted murder with a deadly weapon, possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, possession of stolen property (handgun), and destroy/conceal evidence at the Las Vegas City Jail.
Police said on Wednesday morning that the convenience store clerk, later identified as Wright, was working at a 7-Eleven on East Lake Mead Boulevard, near Las Vegas Boulevard North, when he was stabbed by a person trespassing in the business. Police said the clerk then followed the trespasser to a nearby area bus stop and shot him.
Both the clerk and trespasser suffered non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
On Thursday North Las Vegas police issued a press release stating the 6 a.m. incident started with a “fight” at the store.
“After an extensive investigation in this case, North Las Vegas Detectives booked Wright,” police said.
The press release did not provide additional details of the investigation or affirm that Wright was, in fact, stabbed during the altercation.
