You know, I really don’t want to dwell on this subject, but with each passing day it just seems to get more and more blatant – the media, in their ever-expanding quest to replace truth and accuracy in reporting with political correctness, just cannot bring themselves to report on the racial makeup of individuals, or groups of individuals, involved in crimes.

Case in point: Mayfair Mall, located in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, had a situation this past Sunday (1/2/2011) in which somewhere between 100 and 200 ‘youths’ stormed the mall, ransacked at least one store (mannequins and clothing racks thrown around in the Boston Store), fired guns outside the mall, and generally terrorized mall employees and customers before finally being brought under control by mall security and police.

During the melee, several stores closed their security gates, trapping customers inside.

Once secured, the mall closed early.

If you were to read this story in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Online, you would have no idea who these ‘youths’ were. In neither of the two stories (Mayfair Mall closes early after tumult and Mayfair considering changes after teens storm mall) published about this incident was the race of the perpetrators mentioned. However, this picture pretty much confirms what you might already suspect:

'Youths' shut down Milwaukee area shopping mall

From the first Journal Sentinel story:

Sisters-in-law Kathy and Debbie Bellini were shopping when they heard at least one shot outside the mall.

“It kind of scared me,” said Kathy Bellini as she stood at a bus stop at the north end of the mall with Abercrombie & Fitch shopping bags.

Rubina Shafi was shopping at Boston Store with her mother, and while she was in a dressing room, a group of teens became unruly.

When Shafi, who was visiting from New York, tried to leave the mall through the Boston Store doors, she discovered she was locked in.

Shafi said a Boston Store clerk told her that the incident occurred after a girl was accused of retail theft and the fracas spilled over into Boston Store.

“Her friends followed her and the security guard into the store, screaming, barking, yelling, and knocking over racks and displays. We were invited to stay and continue shopping,” Shafi said in an e-mail. “But we decided to leave through the exit where police guards surrounded the building. The salespeople who stuck around were immensely professional and comforting as well.”

Journal Sentinel commenter macita18 had this to say:

One of my family members runs a store in Mayfair and they were present for the events yesterday. They are trying to get out of the lease since thugs like this are causing the decline of business and many workers do not feel safe coming to or leaving work. The mall has been getting worse over the past few years.

Mall security? It’s a joke. I’m 27 years old and was carded a few months ago. I hardly look under 18. Meanwhile, there was a bunch of wanna be gangsters walking by cussing up a storm, pushing each other into paying customers, and frankly, just there to create problems, not shop. Did any security approach them to tell them to knock it off? Of course not.

I would hope this would be a wake up call to Mayfair to enact some changes.

We as a society will never be able to fix anything, anything, until such time as we can stop pretending things aren’t what they really are. We start facing our problems with honesty, resolve and courage, or we keep right on down this path to our ultimate social destruction.

A married couple, Federico Freire, 27, a Marine currently home on leave from Afghanistan, and his wife Kaylin, out for what they hoped would be a pleasant evening at the movies, was viciously attacked by a group of up to 60 black ‘youths’ for having the audacity to ask a small group of teen girls to please quiet down in the theater.

Predictably, the girls went nuts, hurling profanities, etc… back at the Freires.

Kaylin Freire then went and notified the theater’s management of the situation, whereupon the management removed the girls from the theater.

Shortly thereafter, the Freires, their evening now ruined, decided to leave. What they found upon exiting the theater was that the group of girls was laying in wait for them, now accompanied by a large group of their homies.

From the Bradenton Herald:

MANATEE — A Marine and his wife were attacked outside a movie theater Christmas night after asking a group of teens to be quiet during a movie, according to Manatee County Sheriff’s Office reports.

The attack escalated into an affray attracting approximately 300 bystanders.

As a result, four teens and an adult were placed under arrest, according to reports.

Federico Freire, 27, who is on leave from Afghanistan, went to the movies at the Carmike Royal Palm 20, 5125 26th St. E., to see “Little Fockers” with his wife, Kayln.

Freire said a group of about 20 teens were being obnoxious and loud during the movie.

When they were asked to be quiet, some of teens began swearing. Kayln Freire went to find a manager and the youths were asked to leave.

The couple left shortly after.

“We were just so aggravated. We thought, ‘Forget this, we’re out of here,’ ” Federico Freire told the Herald.

Theater management asked more of the teens to leave and when they refused, deputies were called.

As the couple exited the theater just before 10 p.m., Kayln Freire was surrounded by about 15 girls who appeared like they were going to attack her, Federico Freire said.

A witness told Freire that he had a firearm in his vehicle and offered to escort the couple to safety.

Federico Freire said he told his wife to go with the witness to get her out of harm’s way.

Seven males then surrounded Federico Freire and began to kick and punch him, according to the sheriff’s office report; he was struck across the left side of his face.

“I got back up to defend myself and they started running everywhere,” he said.

A crowd of about 100 people began to form.

When Freire looked to his wife, he said he saw a young male with his shirt off punch her in the face, knocking her out.

Freire said he went after the youth and the witness brandished his gun, telling the crowd to step back.

Deputies arrived shortly thereafter.

As deputies were investigating, the manager of the theater asked anyone without a ticket to leave.

When a deputy asked 16-year-old Ishmael Dunbar to leave several times, the teenager refused and struck the deputy, according to the sheriff’s office.

At one point, Destiny McNeil, 20, a relative of Dunbar, attempted to intervene in the arrest and was arrested herself, the release said.

She was charged with resisting arrest without violence and was released from Manatee County jail Sunday on a $750 bond.

Reginald Gardner, 17, also hit the same deputy in the arm and resisted arrest after he was asked to leave the area. Gardner was stunned in the chest with a Taser by a deputy.

Both Gardner and Dunbar were charged with battery on a law enforcement officer.

The names of 15-year-old twin brothers who were charged with misdemeanor battery for striking the couple were not released. Details of misdemeanor arrests for juveniles are not public record under Florida law.

Near the end of the incident, there were about 300 people milling around, according to authorities.

All available deputies were asked to come to the theater to help restore order, the release said. The manager then shut down the location.

A manager at the theater said thousands of dollars in refunds were given to patrons.

Normally, one to two off-duty law enforcement officers from state agencies are hired to work security on weekends. On Christmas night, no one was available, according to theater management.

No one was seriously injured.

“I’m fine. My wife’s face is all swollen up. She’s got cuts in the inside of her mouth. I was able to defend myself pretty good because of my training, but I was more worried about her,” Freire said.

A couple of videos were posted by the couple on YouTube showing police presence after the incident.

Freire, who is based at Camp Pendleton, Calif., leaves this week. He said after this incident, he has spent the remainder of his time at home with family.

“I’ve lived in this town. I know how trashy it can be,” he said, reflecting on the incident.

He is considering filing a lawsuit against the theater for not providing adequate security, as well as against the teens involved.

The events according to victim Kaylin Freire, whose account is supported by witnesses, taken from the comments of this Bradenton Herald article:

“It was def a riot and very sad. It was my husband and I at the movies. Our first night together without the kids in a long time.

These girls would not be quiet and after nicely asking them to be quiet, we got cussed at. I then had to ask the manager to remove them.

As my husband and I left, about 10 black girls surrounded us. All under age. They kept asking me to hit them and I said no. Then 6 black males hit my husband from behind and ran. None of them had the balls to go face to face with him, they just ran. Then Charlottes husband said he had a firearm and to follow him, as the black cloud defended on us. Literally about 60 of them.

A black boy took off his shirt and started walking towards my husband and I had seen enough. I walked up to the boy and put my hands up and said “stop it, just stop” before I knew it he punched me in the face and knocked me unconscious and I was on the ground. Apparently (of course) he hit and run due to him being a coward. My husband ran after him and the crowd then come towards me. Charlottes husband pulled out the gun to get them away from me.

About half an hour later, the boys mother showed up being just as trashy as he was, yelling and screaming. Then the cops started getting attacked. They held their own though and had dogs and tazered many people. And that is how it happened.

I am Kalyn Freire. My husband is Federico Freire in case anyone wonders….this is the truth of how it all happened. Not what the paper put up. Happy New year to everyone.”

Here’s additional testimony, taken from this Bradenton Herald article, from commenter “Charlotte10″, who was a witness to the attack. Charlotte10′s husband was the man with the firearm who managed to hold back the attackers – in all probability saving the Freire’s lives in the process – and is the ‘witness” described in her account:

The witness and I arrived at the theater at the moment this fight began. I went inside to escape the chaos and he stayed outside. The crowd consisted of black males and females and the married couple that was attacked was a white couple. The husband is a Marine and was home for Christmas from Afghanistan. Since BH believes in being so politically correct, I feel this should be brought to light.

There were roughly 60 members in the crowd that were attacking this white couple, to clarify – when we were there. After we left, I am not sure how many were there, but I wouldn’t doubt that more showed up. This gives you an idea of how many people were taunting and going after this white couple.

The husband was struck by several of the black teenage males and as the couple tried to get to their car and leave, the wife was struck in the face by another one of the black males, right in front of the witness. Let me say that only a coward would strike an innocent woman. The witness was there to assist her; thankfully he had his firearm with him that evening.

We left after statements were given and before the black juveniles turned against the police. This scene was appalling and a tragedy to what has become our society. We are both disgusted with what happened and consider it a HATE crime – that is the only way to describe it. I will say we were very impressed with how the police handled the situation, but disturbed that this theater did not have an officer already there for security as they normally do, especially on Christmas.

So there you have it.

Imagine this situation had been reversed – a large gang of white people attacking a lone black couple. This would be national headline news, if not international. But, since it’s only white people that are the victims, what the hell, bury the story. Nothing to see here

This is insanity

In response to this story by AP ‘reporter’ Christina Hoag, in which she rails against alleged racist incidents at college campuses but fails to mention that the perpetrators of at least two of them were members of the minority groups themselves:

—–

The author of this reprehensible piece of ‘journalism’, Christina Hoag, should be ashamed of herself for her blatant and intentional – since there’s no way she couldn’t know the whole story – misrepresentation of the types of situations she claims to be reporting on. In almost all cases, the offending item (noose/swastika/spray-painted racial slur, etc…) has been shown to have been placed by a member of the target minority themselves as a way to garner sympathy for their ‘plight’.

Ms. Hoag won’t tell you, for example, that the UC San Diego noose was planted by a (unspecified) minority female, while the ‘compton cookout‘ was organized by a black man.

Why? Because it won’t fit the narrative of Hoag and her ilk that the white man is the biggest single perpetrator of racism among us.

The fact, glaringly obvious to anyone capable of honest analysis, is that nothing is further from the truth.

The overwhelming majority of racism in this country emanates from the very people who cry about it the loudest….who also happen to be the very same people who view every person and every situation in terms of race. It’s always race first. Before character. Before merit. Before accomplishment.

It is a disgraceful situation that will continue to tear our country apart unless the people – you know, us -  and our elected representatives develop the spine to say ‘No More”. And, of course, until responsible news organizations throw agenda-driven hacks like Ms. Hoag out onto the street where they belong.

That’s right, the hypocrites on the left – you know, the same ones who vehemently attacked Don Imus, Trent Lott, George Allen, David Howard and countless others of opposing political viewpoints for what they felt were “racially insensitive” remarks – are giving a pass to Senate majority leader Harry Reid after certain comments Reidd made about Obama during the 2008 presidential race came to light today.

According to Reid, Obama would score points with voters for his “light skin” and for having “…no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”.

While this is really no surprise coming from anyone on the left considering the left’s well-established inability to see beyond ones race, gender, and sexual preference, it is a shocker to hear what race hustler extraordanaire Al Sharpton had to say about it:

“While there is no question that Senator Reid did not select the best word choice in this instance, these comments should not distract America from its continued focus on securing healthcare or creating jobs for its people,”

Translation – “let’s not come down on Harry when he’s in the middle of trying to give the black community lots of free shit…”

Has there ever been a bigger, more pathetic bunch of lying, brown-nosing, unprincipled creeps in American history than the current crop of so-called Democrats?

From the Baltimore Sun:

A federal judge suggested Monday that he might restrict the scope of a first-of-its kind lawsuit filed by the city of Baltimore against mortgage giant Wells Fargo Bank N.A.

The city accuses Wells Fargo of engaging in illegal “reverse redlining” — targeting black neighborhoods for bad loans that resulted in mass foreclosures. The resulting drain on city services cost tens of millions of dollars, the lawsuit alleges.

Lawyers for Wells Fargo filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit in September, arguing that the city lacked standing to file the complaint. Baltimore was the first municipality to sue a lender in the wake of the subprime mortgage crisis. Similar lawsuits were later filed in Cleveland and Birmingham, Ala., but those complaints have been dismissed by federal judges.

Ok, it’s like this: ACORN, other racial grievance groups, and assorted race hustlers pressure banks both directly and through the federal government to provide mortgages to people who absolutely, no-freakin’-way-in-hell would ever have qualified for them on their own and who clearly would have no way of paying them back. This is a fact. Then, in what must have been a shock to everyone, said loan recipients default on their mortgages and the homes go into foreclosure. Then, the city of Baltimore sues the mortgage lender for racially motivated criminal activity.

So, the banks are racist for not providing loans to people who aren’t credit-worthy, then they’re racist for providing loans to people who aren’t credit-worthy.

Does the ‘black community’ really not understand why people are hesitant to do business in/with it? Really?

A rational man might conclude that the only winning move would be not to play, and he would be right.
