The real Neil Sheehan is an American reporter famous for his coverage of the Vietnam War.

Law enforcement agencies reported 4,863 offenses within single-bias incidents that were motivated by the offender’s racial bias. Among those offenses, 67.5 percent resulted from an anti-black bias, and 20.5 percent were due to an anti-white bias.

That’s subjective nonsense based on the “feelings” and admissions of those arrested. You want a more honest look? Consider the grand canyon difference between white on black crime vs. black on white crime http://www.libreopinion.com/members/standarteslc/race05.html and the murder rate committed by blacks based on their percentage of the population versus the murder rate committed by whites using the same metrics.

“The black murder rate was 38.8 per 100,000. Based on their murder rate in 1986, Hispanics committed an estimated 2,242 murders in 1993. This is 10.7 per 100,000. 76 percent of the U.S. is White (European-American) and they committed only 29.5 percent of the murders. On the other hand, Black and Hispanic minorities combined constitute 21 percent of the population, yet they committed a staggering 68.7 percent of the murders in the U.S. during 1993. This means, on a per capita basis, a Black person is 12.3 times as likely to commit murder as a White person.

Since GaffaUK raised the issue, I want to make sure that the percentages quoted are in proper perspective

I found some interesting stats

lets reverse this.. a black family coming home from a family outing to watch fireworks at the local stadium. A group of 50 white kids start saying “this is a white world”, beat the crap out of them (or attack them – which ever) and leave. Now is it really racial scare mongering, or obvious racism by apparent racists? Its not rocket science; just the left trying to call things on their own terms with their own definitions.

Exactly right. Liam said it better than I ever could. I’ll also add that if it was an assault by white racists against a black family, Al Sharpton et al. would have flown in for national press coverage which would have been repeated ad nauseum on every MSM channel for weeks on end. As it is now, this was a story was ignored by the MSM until Drudge forced their hand. Thank god for Drudge, because the MSM leftist filth clearly would have buried it otherwise.

The story is now on Drudge.

I wonder how many of the punks were armed but did not throw down. I don’t discount that ever.

With those odds I may have ran away to fight another day. It is obvious to me that the Akron PD was not up to task or that neighbors did not call 911 when a mob that size gathered. My CCW Permit does not authorize me to carry automatic weapons or grenades.

The problem with big cities is traffic, noise, crime and fully indicative of everything evil that was the direct and indirect result of LBJs “Great Society” boondoggle. It “entitled” folks to live forever on Welfare, in Public Housing, attend poor schools, blame others for lack of opportunity and self segregate almost like the Warsaw Ghettos. Money poured down a rat hole, Tax Money. Some brave souls got an education and left because it was their choice. Others chose to cling to the safety net of entitlement, joined gangs for self protection and were taught that their loyalties were to folks of their race, almost tribal in nature. The “Great Society” stole initiative and offered life on your knees, much the same as the BIA did in the 1870s. It was Government Sponsored so it was Good?

There are several reasons why I avoid travel to some cities. Some do not respect my CCW despite high crime rates. Some just offer me nothing of interest. I have not been to Chicago in years. I avoid DC. I had an assignment in Atlanta but resided away from the city. Anywhere where Government entitlement funding was large had high crime rates.

Columbus, GA was good. Fayetteville, NC was very good. Clarksville, KY was good.
Hint, low Government entitlement spending was better quality of life and low crime.

Perpetuation of Entitlement is perpetuation of poverty, crime, rascim and low quality of life. As GM is closing down industrial plants, those cities where those plants are located will decay like Detroit. No one wants to locate a business in dangerous places. High unemployment produces desperation. Desperate people prey on each other. Simple logic folks. There are good and bad folks everywhere but go here for a look:

Now, HHS, HUD, DOL, Treasury and Dept of Education are a more complex can of worms and publish no spreadsheets and the left hand rarely knows what the right hand is doing. Add in a block grant to the renowned RASICT and VOTER FRAUD organization ACORN and no one knows how money is spent for real. No transparency or accountability there, just folks spending Tax Dollars.

Tell me which ones of these Departments are General Clause Abuse and which ones are required in the Constitution…
