  Check that: At first, reporters said four arrests. Then it was changed to several. And now one local station in Milwaukee is reporting 56 arrests but “police would not go into further detail about the incidents”[685] that happened at “Wednesday’s Juneteenth celebrations at the Martin Luther King Center.”[686]

  As soon as the Chief of Police responds to our request for more information, or as soon as we find a real reporter in Milwaukee, we will let you know.

  In Columbus, Ohio at a similar event the week before, four people were arrested for fighting and another arrested in connection with a shooting near the event. Authorities cancelled the Juneteenth celebration.[687]

  In the Chicago suburb of Maywood, 300 black students fought and rampaged through surrounding neighborhoods, some of it on video. Police arrested 10 students, including one for trying to stab someone with two large knives. The riot took place on their last day of school in May 2013.[688]

  One week before that, dozens of black people were fighting on the lakefront in South Chicago. Police broke it up and they started fighting again a few blocks away. Three black people were arrested. Said one beach-goer to the local CBS affiliate:[689]

  “I just wish they’d figure it out. That way, I don’t have to feel fearful, I don’t have to feel scared, I don’t have to wake up and wonder can I take my two boys to the beach and have a good time? That shouldn’t be my biggest fear living in the city, a world-class city like Chicago,” Tamara Sahara said.

  In Baltimore on the same day, dozens of black people fought and destroyed property in that city’s embattled downtown area. State police were called in to assist, as was the police helicopter. Three people were arrested.[690]

  The Baltimore Sun grudgingly reported: “Large fights between teenagers in the heart of the city's business district have drawn negative attention and various redeployment strategies in the past.” All the dozens of examples of mob violence in the upscale area involved black people.

  State legislator Pat McDonough in 2012 called for the governor to issue a “no travel” advisory for the area because he said black youths were terrorizing the Inner Harbor. The Mayor of Baltimore and Governor of Maryland did not deny McDonough’s claims that the violence was race related. But they were quite unhappy that he brought it up.[691]

  In Minneapolis over the Memorial Day weekend, seven black people identified as Somali immigrants or their children, attacked at least two runners on a local jogging trail. Nothing was stolen. The attackers fled before they could be apprehended.[692]

  This is far from the first example of black mob violence from this group of African immigrants. In 2009, several Somalis made a video of their attacks on local residents, bikers and joggers.[693] ‘Twas all in good fun.

  This list of recent episodes of black mob violence goes in, with some cities reporting several recent examples. Places like Utica, New York. Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Sheffield, Alabama. Greenwood, South Carolina. Ocean City, Maryland. And elsewhere, including several Detroit area carnivals.[694] All in June 2013.

  New Trend in Journalism 2013: The Truth.

  It happened again in 2014!

  A startling new trend swept newsrooms across the country in 2013: Reporters told the truth about black mob violence.

  OK, it was just two reporters and two stories in one week. But it happens so rarely that it seems like a torrent.

  Let’s start in Baltimore: Second only to Chicago in the frequency and intensity of black mob violence in its downtown. Second only to Chicago in the unwillingness of the media and police administrators to confront it.

  From the Fox affiliate in Baltimore we learned two things in August 2013: Black mob violence in the upscale downtown area is now so bad that even the local press cannot ignore it.[695]

  And that because of this violence, a major company headquartered there is talking about moving out.

  The story begins with an August report of a black mob attacking white people in the Little Italy section near downtown. All on video.

  First reference: The predators were those troublesome “teens,” as usual. But then this popped out of seemingly nowhere:[696]

  These "mob" crimes are a sensitive subject in the political world. Last year, when Delegate Pat McDonough referred to "Black youth mobs terrorizing Baltimore," he took heat from critics who felt his remarks were racist.

  In this case, the mob of teens in Little Italy were African-American, though there is no indication that race was a motive in this most recent assault.

  To be accurate, city officials and most media managers are the ones who are the most “sensitive:” They don’t report it. Or even admit it. They get touchy when readers confront them about it.

  As we have seen with Halvorsen, they even blame white people for it.

  To be fair, victims of the black mob violence are not sensitive, they are angry. And want something done about it. Curiously, they are turning for solutions to the same city officials who deny there is a problem in the first place.

  Let me know how that works out.

  True to form, the local Fox affiliate repeated the standard mantra that there is no evidence of a racial motive. I just checked and this much is true: Members of the violent black mob carried no signs. Issued no press releases. Did not chant: “Burn, baby, burn.”

  But this is also true: The mob violence in downtown Baltimore is a black thing. All the mobs are black. Most of the victims are white, or immigrant shop owners. And it happens a lot.

  Surely that means something. Surely the pattern speaks to motivation. At least one reporter at the Washington Post thinks patterns speak to motives.

  Calling Mary Curtis. Calling Mary Curtis. You are needed in Baltimore.

  Some Baltimore readers said ‘oh yeah, this has been happening for a long time.’ Said Keith Scott Williams in the readers’ comment section:

  Same thing happened when Trayvon was killed. There were 4 large groups of over 100 young people during St Patty's Day trolling Federal Hill and the Point for retribution. One police officer requested over the mic that the National Guard be called out to control the groups but then was told to shut up by the Chief.

  “It is not racially motivated? Seriously?” asked Bill Fisher.

  Seriously. (And oh by the way, see if you can find a story of large groups of black people creating a riot on March 17, 2013.)

  Let’s leave Baltimore and The Sun for Bloomington and the Pantagraph.

  Illinois: The headline sets the stage, but does not really prepare us for the rare journalistic event to come: (Bloomington Police Department) warns against walking alone at night after attacks.[697]The story starts out slowly, with the usual reference to racially ambiguous crowds wreaking havoc:

  Several recent reports of people being attacked by groups of young men have prompted the Bloomington Police Department to issue a warning about walking alone late at night and in the early morning hours.

  In the news business, they call this the “nut graph:”

  The suspects, police said, are traveling in groups of three or more and have been described as black men in their late teens or early 20s.

  Three or more? As in 30 or 300 or 3,000?

  In Bloomington, like Baltimore, we don’t learn how many attacks there have been. Or how many people are in the mob. Other than lots and lots.

  One resident whom the Pantagraph chose not to identify said she’s had family members and neighbors hurt in the attacks.

  “There have been several and I don’t think all of them are being reported,” she said. “People need to be aware there is danger out there, and these groups are doing some crazy stuff. It’s an important issue and people are getting hurt.”

  The paper reported several strategies to avoid black mob violence. Most involve staying inside and locking your doors. Not on the paper’s list is the once tactic people use that some say works the best:

  “If you are in an area where your life is threatened when you walk out the door, you should acquire a Co
ncealed Carry Weapons permit,” said Steve Kates, an Arizona expert in self defense and the host of the Phoenix talk show A Call to Rights.

  “Then you should learn how to use a weapon to defend yourself if you are confronted with a life-threatening situation. As many of these mobs are. Everything else is just begging for mercy. And that is the worst tactic of all.”

  Kates urges his Phoenix listeners -- and now people in Bloomington as well -- to “refuse to be a victim.”

  Let’s move from one center of intense and frequent black mob violence-- Bloomington -- to another: Omaha. Forgive me for being surprised, again.

  During the same week that Bloomington finally admitted it had a problem, a group of “rowdy” and “violent” and “dangerous teens” took over a park in Omaha. The local newspaper and TV and news stations did not report if race had anything to do with the presence of the teen mob.[698]

  Nor did they tell us how they knew so much about the ages of the people who are terrorizing this neighborhood.

  The reader comments are not much help: They are either absent or completely scrubbed of any reference to the race of the predators or the victims.

  But we do know it has been happening for years. And the police say it is the neighbor’s fault for allowing it to happen because they now stay away from the park.

  Maybe they were part of the “gangs” of 20-30 black kids (who) had been harassing shopkeepers and customers, stealing and more in local malls over the Christmas season,” WND reported in January, quoting a resident of Omaha. Her friend “quit not long after as she said it has become scary and no one from the property owners, police will do anything about it.”

  In Omaha? Yes, Omaha.

  From Louisville, a WND reader sends this along from WDRB News:Black mob arrested in Kentucky attack:[699]

  Police say 18-year-old Brejon L. Ford and three accomplices approached a man and attacked him. According to the arrest warrant, Ford punched the victim in the face.

  As the victim was walking away, police say one of the suspects hit him with a tree log.

  Police say Ford and his accomplices then began hitting the victim several times in the head with their fists, all the while calling him names including "honky," "cracker," and "white trash."

  Guess that makes three.

  By the way, there’s your evidence of racial motivation: people using racial epithets right?

  Right? Right?

  Aamador? Jennifer?

  Wenger?

  Seiler?

  Jen?

  So many questions. So few snarky reporters to answer them.

  Black Mob Violence in Green Bay:

  Welcome to the “Clown Show.” Just the facts, ma’am.

  Summer 2013: Two Minneapolis cops go to Green Bay. Maybe for a bit of relaxation. There might have been an alcoholic beverage on the scene.

  They get attacked by black mob. Downtown. At night. Two against nine.

  Green Bay cops show up. Nothing happens. Minneapolis cops do not like that. They accuse Green Bay cops of running a “clown show.”

  “I’m not trying to be an asshole here,” said the Minneapolis cop in a dashboard cam video. “But we get jumped by nine fucking black guys and we’re the problem? We’re two small white guys and you got a crowd of black guys up there.”

  Just the facts, ma’am.

  The Minneapolis cops did something that apparently is just not done in Green Bay. They fought back. Said one of the Minneapolis cops on the video: The mob was “ doing their monkey thing. We're police officers. I punched him in the face and I will do it again."[700]

  At some point, the Minneapolis cop may have used a racial slur.[701] It is not known whether that was before or after they called Green Bay police a “clown show.”

  That word will not be used here. But it is not too much different than what Princeton Professor Cornell West calls black people who support President Obama.[702]

  I hope Brother West does not harbor any ambitions of joining the Minneapolis police department: Where on their web pages they describe in great detail the special treatment that “protected minorities” get in applying, testing, and studying to be a cop.

  The same department that claims to be color-blind when asked about dozens of episodes of black mob violence in downtown Minneapolis?

  Same one.

  They don’t play the N-word game there.

  Back to Green Bay: Local boys in blue drop a dime on brother officers from Gopher state. Minneapolis cops suspended. They also got into trouble for referring to the sexuality of the openly gay police chief of Minneapolis.

  Minneapolis mayor and police chief were “outraged” and apologized to people of Green Bay for their officers’ behavior.

  Though cops all over the country say black cops are dropping N-bombs along with everything else in the locker rooms before the shift. On the streets, during the shift. In the bars, after the shift. Guess you need a hall pass for that.

  But what about the black mob that attacked the two Minneapolis cops? What happened to them?

  Nothing.

  No arrests. No apologies. No calls for an investigation.

  Which was just fine with a Green Bay black minister, who told a local TV station it was about time someone broke up the police fellowship. No words from the minister for the black mob or who is going to break them up.

  Or even if anyone should break them up.

  The newspapers called it a “scuffle.” [703]

  The whole nine-on-two part? That had nothing to do with nothing.

  There’s some video, but only of the aftermath.

  Readers of White Girl Bleed a Lot know that Minneapolis is a center of intense and frequent and dangerous black mob violence. Here are just a few links where you can find a whole ton of it:

  Black on white crime in Minneapolis.[704]

  Black mob violence in Minneapolis with a twist. [705]

  Black mob violence on video in Minneapolis.[706]

  Another question:

  Did the Mayor of Green Bay apologize for the black mob that attacked the cops?

  No.

  But a lot of people in Green Bay did make rude comments about the Viking’s quarterback. They did not apologize for that either.

  Did any members of this aggrieved mob step forward and give their side of the story?

  No.

  Maybe this is part of the “open-season on black people” that Al Sharpton was talking about. The epidemic of white on black crime.

  Let me know.

  In unrelated news, the Green Bay City Council shortly after decided to vote down a proposed ban on saggy pants that are proliferating in their city.

  In other unrelated news, I know where Aaron Rogers lives in San Diego.

  Old Story in New Haven

  Nobody knows nuttin’, see?

  “No stereotypes. No generalizations. No apologies.”

  -- White Girl Bleed a Lot.

  The New Haven police do not know why a mob of black people attacked the elderly white jogger, breaking his arm, then taking off without robbing him.

  But they do know this: It had nothing do with a black mob attack in broad daylight that almost killed a downtown New Haven business owner the week before -- just a few days after the rally for Trayvon.

  Nor did it have anything to do with dozens of other examples of black mob violence in the New Haven area over the last two years.

  Some fatal. All random, they say.

  But they are pretty sure how to solve it: Don’t wear headphones while jogging. And don’t go outside anywhere in this Yale University college town where violence might happen. Which is pretty much everywhere.

  This happened July 2013 -- soon to be renamed Month of St. Trayvon -- when a 63-year old jogger encountered a group of black people riding bikes in his upscale Beaver Hills neighborhood. The New Haven Independent picks up the story:[707]

  He had moved to the side to let them pass.

  “I heard someone say something about‘turni
ng around,’” the man recalled. Then he saw one of the teens get off his bike and roll it at him. The rolling bike knocked the jogger down.

  He got up.“What is this about?” he remembered telling them.“I don’t have any money.”

  Then one of the teens“charged at me and knocked me down” again. Others joined in and punched and kicked him repeatedly for about 20 seconds, he estimated.

  “Then they got back up and took off.”

  They didn’t check his pockets. They wouldn’t have found a cellphone or any valuables on him if they had.

  But they did break his arm. Which is worse than what happened to another jogger in “an eerily similar attack in the same location” July 21. Also worse than what happened to a New Haven “female security officer that was attacked by a group of teens” on her way to work in July.

  None of these attacks was listed in the reports police issue to media and neighborhood groups.

  Police learned about the attack on the jogger “from a New Haven Independent reader who saw it referenced in the site’s comments section.”[708]

  The swarming attack on the jogger happened in the same park where, on July 20, 100 people gathered to protest racial profiling in New Haven in the aftermath of the George Zimmerman trial.[709]

  The jogger does not want to be identified. He is still afraid. Even so, he said he felt lucky. At least he did not get brutalized the way the downtown business owner Brooks Macquarrie had two weeks before. Macquarrie’s family owns a motor scooter shop and he was test-driving a new scooter when a black mob attacked him, knocked him off his bike, beat him up, and stole his machine.

  His injuries were so severe at first police thought he may have been hit by a car. Two fractured ribs. Twenty-one stitches. Fractured eye socket. And lots and lots of blood all over the street.
