More good news in the era of post-racial America: scores, or perhaps hundreds, of black youths attack white people as they leave the Wisconsin State Fair.
The Obama administration is starting to remind me of Poe’s story, “The Mask of the Red Death”.
John Kerry was for the First Amendment before he was against it (or hell, I don’t know, maybe he was always against it).
Victor Davis Hanson is satisfied with his own religion, thank you very much.
Ed Driscoll is back with more sweet Photoshop.
How ideologically lopsided could a Robert Redford movie about the Weather Underground be? Pretty damned lopsided.
Australians are responding to Prime Minister Gillard’s carbon tax propaganda with their customary irreverence and humor.

Most fairgrounds (state, county, etc) have local ordinances prohibiting the concealed carry of firearms by private citizens. Rather like schools, that makes them prime targets for people wanting to commit violence.
ReplyDeleteI don't doubt that these rioting teenagers knew that. Cowards and racists, every one of them.
And something tells me this is the start of a new trend in "post-racial" America.

ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing. And, I don't think it will be just black kids alone. With the New Order of "no responsibilities, no consequences" young people seem to be raised in these days, along with the use of electronic "social media" to organize flash mobs, it isn't going away soon. And, I wouldn't count on the parents of these kids doing anything to stop it. "My child's perfect, he/she wouldn't be involved in anything like that!" Even when they're called to the jail, to bail out their kid. They'll blame somebody...anybody...else, it's not their fault.
:(
I fear that flash mobs will be but a small part of it, rinardman.
ReplyDeleteWe could see riots orchestrated on a national level. Or at least on a city wide basis, something that will certainly overwhelm local law enforcement.
I think the next step in the escalation may be what seems to me to be a growing involvement of anarchists in "peaceful" protests.
ReplyDeleteWatching videos of the hockey riots in Vancouver, I remember thinking that some of the rioters looked like the anarchists that show up at political protests, with the intent of turning them into a stage for their own violent acts.
Then before long, you'll have "wannabe anarchists", turning small, local protests into their own excuse for mayhem, just like the "big boys" they see on TV.
The recent Grauman's Chinese Theatre riot, for instance.
Glad I live on the edge of a cornfield in flyover country.

Well, I hate to say "I told you so", but...Saturday night riots in North London.
ReplyDeleteScotland Yard police Commander Adrian Hanstock told reporters that a peaceful vigil has been hijacked by "mindless criminal thugs."

Yeah, the "anarchists" (just thugs, pretending to part of a political cause) are drawn to anything where they can crank up the violence.
