If and when I move back to the USA, I will get a concealed weapons permit and I will be packing every time I leave the house. |

I am glad that guy survived. It looks like he took a beating. At least he took one down in the initial rush. |

It's a little early for the Zimbabwe behavior. |
A handgun sure would have come in handy. All those bastards deserve to be gut shot for their behavior. Savages! |

Apparently among these Right Honourable Urban Folk, attacks against white people is called "Polar Bear hunting." Like Al Gore said "Diversity is our Strength." The "yutes" probably do stuff like this because of a lack of government programs and school funding.
http://www.news-gazette.com/news/courts-police-and-fire/2010-09-28/former-tv-weatherman-victim-unprovoked-attack.html
CHAMPAIGN � But for his great sense of humor, Mike Sola might be curled up in the fetal position crying right now.
The 50-year-old former weatherman for WILL-TV and, before that, WCIA-TV, is among the latest in a growing list of white men in town being slugged for sport by young black men. (Earlier reports indicated a slang term of "polar bear hunting" for these attacks, but police officials say that term is not evident in the recent attacks.)
The attacks seem to have been concentrated on campus during August but lately have been spreading across Champaign and have even included young white boys in city parks.
"My facial swelling has gone down to where it looks like I had a cheap botox injection. My crow's feet are totally gone on the right side," he quipped Tuesday, some four days after being attacked while walking home from a Central High School football game. "I've been beat up worse than this by my brothers."
Sola said he decided to walk the couple of miles to his south central Champaign home Friday night after the game let out at Tommy Stewart Field behind Centennial High School.
He was near Jefferson Middle School on Crescent Drive about 9:30 p.m., one of several people leaving the game, when "out of the blue I feel something hit me in the back of the head."
"It's hard. It wasn't a fist," he said, adding that whatever struck him wrapped around to the front of his neck, causing it to bruise. Although stunned, his little bit of karate training sent him into a defensive mode.
"I go into a crouch, get a little bit of a defensive stance, reach out and grab somebody, and throw a punch. I hit somebody," he said, adding he was peppering his assailants with a few well-chosen phrases of outrage.
He doesn't know how many there were � he believes at least two � and couldn't recognize them in the dark, but knows they were probably teens leaving the game just as he was.
"They didn't look out of place in a group of high schoolers," Sola said.
Within seconds, police and other passers-by, including Central High School Principal Joe Williams, were helping Sola.
Several officers were already there lighting the darker portions of the street with their squad-car spotlights as they watched the fans leaving.
Sola said an ambulance attendant cleaned him up a bit, but he gratefully accepted a ride from Williams to the hospital so as not to have to incur the expense of a co-pay for an ambulance ride for something caused by someone else.
Sola said he told Williams he could announce at school Monday that "the old man attacked on Friday night would like a cage match."
He had to have four or five stitches to repair the cut to his right earlobe. The right side of his face was also fairly swollen and his face was scratched.
"I do have quite a nice shiner. I grew up with seven older brothers on the South Side of Chicago, so I know how to fight," he said. "Unfortunately, when you get hit in the back of the head, all you can do is go into defensive mode and lash out.
"This was the epitome of cowardice to come up from behind and out of the dark. If that's their gang initiation, that's a ... (cowardly) bunch of gang members," Sola said.
His bravado and humor aside, Sola said he's saddened by the random attacks.
"I'm not a racist. My black friends are just as frustrated and (ticked) off as my white friends," he said. "The frustration transcends race, but the activities all seem to be race-related."
And he's nervous that an attacker or an innocent bystander is going to be killed by a victim who might be armed.
"There's more consequence than just the personal ones to me. I'm a victim, but I'm not victimized. It's a sad statement when you can't walk down the sidewalk at 9:30 at night. Did we lose ownership of the streets?" he asked.
"If these kids had a family background where a dad was bringing home a paycheck and instilling parental control, this wouldn't be a problem," said Sola, who said he doesn't want unemployment and underemployment to be an excuse for such behavior. "If you're a good person, you're a good person. If you're a piece of trash, you're a piece of trash."
Out of work himself for three months after being laid off from WILL earlier this year, Sola said he put the time to good use doing work for some older folks on their homes and learning how to take an outboard motor apart and put it back together.
He was recently hired as an account executive for SJ Broadcasting, a group of radio stations based in Champaign.
Ironically, he said one of his first sales as a radio ad executive was to the owner of a martial arts academy. |

The five young men charged with killing him are black. Expect more of that sort of thing around here, Durham County Sheriff's Office Maj. Paul Martin said in a report. "The immediate future holds the potential for an ethnic war to break out between black and Latino gangs," said Martin. "Since at least 1997, some black criminals have continually robbed, assaulted and murdered Latinos. The targeting of innocent Latinos will soon manifest itself in violent ethnic conflict between blacks and Latinos."
The trade of illegal drugs has a lot to do with the strife, because both black and Hispanic gang members battle for turf with respect to where dope gets sold.
"I have watched since the 1970s as about 70% of the black community has retrogressed in Durham. A large percentage of young blacks have been sucked into this criminal culture, and many can barely read and write. This educational retrogression is attributable to the thug culture.
Yet no one speaks out, except to grab for federal grant money to construct Utopian schemes," Martin said. |
Southern California has had this problem for a decade now. |

I think the media trys to hide the truth of black on white crime to the extent it can- that is confining heinous interracial black on white crime to the local media market. Here's one that would have been internationional news had the races been reversed-

Police Believe Child Was Killed With Welding Torch
HOUSTON -- Homicide investigators said a welding torch is the likely weapon used in 12-year-old Jonathan Foster's death, Local 2 Investigates reported Friday.
Mona Nelson, Jonathan Foster
�WATCH IT: Police Believe Child Was Killed With Welding Torch
�SEE IT: Remembering Jonathan Foster | Mona Yvette Nelson
"We're talking crematorium-type of hot," said one Houston Police Department Homicide Squad officer assigned to the investigation.
Police said they confiscated a badly burned section of carpet from the home of Mona Yvette Nelson, 44, who stands charged with capital murder.
She had a welding background and police found welding equipment in her home on Allwood Street in the Fifth Ward area of Northeast Houston. Police said a section of carpet was badly burned and the smell of a human body filled the area around that carpet.
DNA tests are being ordered to analyze any bodily fluids.
One investigator assigned to the case said it now appears Foster was killed at that spot in Nelson's home within hours of being kidnapped from his family's home near Shepherd Drive and 43rd Street in Northwest Houston.
Police say she was acquainted with some members of the boy's family.
One officer said on Friday that the autopsy has ruled out any trauma on the child's body. There were no broken bones or any signs of strangulation or head wounds, so officers said it now appears the child was killed with a welding torch that could be capable of 6,000-degree flames.
"I've never seen burns like this," said one officer who viewed the boy's body after it was found in a ditch off the Hardy Toll Road on Tuesday.
He said that killers often try to cover their tracks by burning the victim's corpse, but in this boy's case, the burning was so intense and thorough that many veteran homicide investigators are struggling with the notion of such a grisly and painful way to die.
Nelson told a community activist from behind bars that she had nothing to do with killing the boy, and she mentioned her own grandchildren as proof that she would never harm a child in such a manner.
As for a motive, one HPD investigator said officers believe sexual abuse was behind the crime.
The officer said there is no evidence to confirm the theory at this point, but police say there was no ransom demand after the boy was kidnapped, so one officer said, "That's the only other motive (that makes any sense)."
Neighbors near the home where police believe the child was killed with a torch are struggling with the new details of the crime.
"That's sick. That's really sick, and I think the person who did it needs to pay for it. Pay dearly," said one business owner on the same block.
Connie Morris also works nearby, saying, "That's just cruel and mean if anybody would do that to a 12-year-old innocent boy."
Nelson is jailed without bond with a court appearance set for Monday.
Police spent Friday interviewing the child's family once again, shoring up the timeline of events and filling in routine gaps in the statements that were given immediately after the crime.
They also spent several hours organizing the carpet and other evidence confiscated from Nelson's home. One officer said, "We got all we need (from there)."

If we blind ourselves to problems like this because discussing them is "bad form", then we're just being silly...To be frank, it's time to put hurt feelings and considerations of "form" aside and face reality. We've got a large group of people in this country that have an overall worse standard of living than the average citizen. There are reasons for this. These reasons are worth discussing, and it can't all be attributed to blacks being victims of racism. |

Table 42: 32,443 white women raped by black men, 0 black women raped by white men.
White people have every right to point out their victimization at the hand of black criminals. Whites do not attack blacks to anywhere near the same numbers that blacks attack whites. To the extent whites are hostile to blacks - and many are - it is almost entirely due to black crime. |

Dude, where do you live ? You sound like you've been in battle or something. I'm serious.
I'm a black guy (oh no!) and I don't have any hatred towards any race, just individuals. I currently have a white (Irish) girlfriend and we do naughty things together without this hatred you speak of.
Violence happens to all, btw. I'm sure there are black people being victimized, raped, hated on (like now), beaten, forced out of a job, tattled on in public school...
You know what, never mind  |

^ Holy sh** at that! I'm skeptical of gov't figures (as anyone should be), but damn.
Even if those numbers are only in the ballpark they're still shocking. |
