Luckily, however, this isn’t a hate crime in America.
This eye-witness account is from Paul Wilkinson, president of the Altamont Park Neighborhood Association:
Tonight, around 11 p.m., a group of at least 60-70 African American youth marched down one of the side streets (W. Thrush) to the 4 lane main drag (Sheridan). They were yelling threats to white residents. Things such as we need to kill alll the white people around here. They were physically intimidating anyone calling for help from the police. They were surrounding cars. Cars on the main drag had to slam on their brakes to either avoid the youth blocking not only all four lanes, but a large section of the side street as well. fights were breaking out among them. They were rushing residents who looked out their doors, going on to porches, yelling threats to people calling the police for help.
Cars were doing U turns on the streets just to avoid the mob, mostly male. One youth stated his grandfather was white and several assaulted him on the spot. One police officer answered the call. The youth split into two large groups, one heading north, the other south. They were also yelling racial threats to the police officer but he was outnumbered. Another police car did not show up until after the youth finally dispersed and the patty wagon (van) also eventually showed up.
Residents are very shaken, both black and white alike. This is the fifth large mob action in about a month with smaller groups of 10-12 are out threatening children and adults a few evenings a week or later into the night. The times vary, even occuring during the day. In talking to the police officer, they are short staffed. Residents were advised to simply keep inside and to lock their doors. In other words buckle down, it’s not even safe to sit on your porch or go into your yards.
“The fifth large mob action in about a month.” Wow. This is really outrageous. Why is this neighborhood having to put up with this? “Residents were advised to simply keep inside and to lock their doors”? Seriously? That’s the best we can do for our fellow citizens’ safety?
This needs to be addressed, and quickly.
Teenage gang charged under lynching law after ‘savage attack on 18-year-old student’
- Student so badly injured his mother almost didn’t recognise him
- Youngest member of gang is just 13

Four members of a teenage gang have been charged under a state’s lynching law after allegedly beating an 18-year-old student so badly he required facial reconstruction surgery.
South Carolina prosecutors have charged the boys with second-degree assault and battery by mob, a crime which until last year was known as lynching.
The eight members of the gang, the youngest of whom is just 13, allegedly set upon Carter Strange in a parking lot as he jogged back to his home in Columbia.
This, of course, is an outrageous situation which is stridently and deliberately buried, precisely BECAUSE it includes racist blacks who, by dint of their history as manipulated victims, cannot in and of themselves in any situation be seen or classified as racists. Though anyone with the slightest tick of logic or common sense knows that racist blacks exist.
Other stories of similar note:
A large DC brawl at a “Caribbean Festival” involving blacks. See the video below.
In Spring Garden, Philadelphia, gangs attacked people for no reason — blacks.
“Rampaging teens” shut down a street fair in Cleveland, Ohio — blacks.
Philadelphia suburb under “state of emergency” after gun violence — blacks.
The bottom line? Please remember, boys and girls, that no matter what they do collectively and individually, there is no such thing as a racist black. I say this: there isn’t any courage in any American newsroom anymore.
Aaaah, I feel better now, don’t you?

And, of course, this is justified as well because the poor black man is, well, black — and obviously oppressed:
Frankly, I felt oppressed just watching it.
BZ — if my TRUE racial nature ever got out, people would be shocked… I have always been a bit *stand-offish* about Blacks, something about being raised in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi in the 50’s and 60’s I suppose, I don’t hate any Black person because of their color, if I hate someone it’s because of what’s inside, and what they let out…
Until I was stationed in El Paso for 9 years, I didn’t think too much about Mexicans one way or another… Live and let live so to speak…
That soon changed once I was on the border and not in the interior of Mexico, Central or South America…
Once they hit the border they become a whole new breed of cat…
One version of “Hope and Change”?
I’ve read all about it.
This is EXACTLY why I live in Texas.
Black gangs do not roam the streets in Gun Barrel City, TX where I live.
They would be shot on site, no questions asked.
Dallas has a large “ghetto” population of Section 8 Negroes.
Yeah, welfare, drug dealers, do rags, baby mammas and baby daddy’s.
Dallas PD does respond and seem to have it controlled, even with a new black PD Chief.
What I see going on in California, and other places is revolting to me.
Maybe it is really the time for riots and the “cleaning the streets”. I’ll sit back and watch.
TF: and an expectationist and victim is just that no matter their melanin count.
WSF: amongst others.
Mr C: I wish I could be a valley spectator, but I’m still too connected to my wife’s house, which she refuses to give up.

Interesting how most of these are taking place in areas where guns cannot be carried to ‘protect’ ones self… The incident in Columbia, I have no doubt, was a ‘response’ by these kids to what they are hearing being done in other cities. Now if they’d tried that on an adult, I’d almost bet some of them would be lying on a slab in the mortuary…
NFO: likely correct; copycatters. I’m thinking it’ll get around to the Left Coast fairly soon. “Coming soon to the ‘to near you.”
Hmm. Not too many comments on this post. Making people uncomfortable, I’d suppose.
Great! I’m doing my job.

Welcome to my world. That first video looks like my neighborhood. Yesterday some stupid punks were sitting on my husband’s truck and for fear of their retaliation we said nothing.
Because, they are the types that will destroy property and hurt my children.
I do not hate blacks, but the ones on my street, I cannot help but despise them. I loathe them all. They are so vile and so very disrespectful.
Texas Fred, I am originally from El Paso, and I am very aware of the Mexican problems.
