Family Research Council shooting and Southern Poverty Law Center's 'Hate Map'

The shooting that took place inside the Family Research Council (FRC) is beginning to look more and more political in nature. FRC, headed by Anthony Perkins, is a socially conservative organization that supports the traditional definition of marriage and opposes gay marriage. One could say that FRC and Chick-fil-A are on the same page.

Floyd Lee Corkins was taken into custody after shooting a security guard in FRC's lobby. It turns out that Corkins has done extensive volunteer work at a gay rights organization and was carrying several Chick-fil-A sandwiches in his backpack at the time of the shooting. Oh, and one more thing; the FBI has reported that Corkins made a political statement prior to the shooting.

Via CNS News:

On Wednesday, 28-year-old Floyd Lee Corkins of Herndon, Va., allegedly entered the lobby of the Family Research Council and shot the security guard.  According to the FBI, Corkins had a 9mm handgun, two magazines of ammunition, 50 rounds of additional ammo and 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches in his backpack. According to the FBI, he  “stated words to the effect of ‘I don’t like your politics...’”

...The suspect, Floyd Corkins, had been volunteering for the last six months at The DC Center for the LGBT Community. The DC Center released a statement condemning the violence, which was signed by 40 other local and national LGBT groups.

That leads us to the very left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), primarily because of the standard set by the left-wing media, pundits, and movement. The SPLC actually has a 'Hate Map' that identifies entities and individuals it views as being hateful. The FRC is on that map and listed as being 'Anti-Gay'.

First, some context and why SPLC's map is relevant.

Within hours of the Gabrielle Giffords shooting on January 8, 2011, New York Times writer Paul Krugman blamed Sarah Palin for using a map that showed 'crosshair' targets on districts in the country that were held by vulnerable Democrats prior to the 2010 elections; Giffords' district was one that had a target on it and Krugman pounced:

We don’t have proof yet that this was political, but the odds are that it was. She’s been the target of violence before. And for those wondering why a Blue Dog Democrat, the kind Republicans might be able to work with, might be a target, the answer is that she’s a Democrat who survived what was otherwise a GOP sweep in Arizona, precisely because the Republicans nominated a Tea Party activist. (Her father says that “the whole Tea Party” was her enemy.) And yes, she was on Sarah Palin’s infamous “crosshairs” list.

Instead of being fired for journalistic malpractice, Krugman remained a hero to the left. A consequence was that a new, very low standard had been set. Using Krugman's standard, perpetrators of acts of violence could not only escape 100% accountability for their actions but that people who had nothing to do with it could be blamed. In this case, Krugman implied that Jared Loughner shot Giffords because Sarah Palin released a map that was clearly intended to identify vulnerable Democrats to be targeted... for DEFEAT AT THE BALLOT BOX.

Making matters worse for Krugman, as usual, were facts. Not only did Palin's map have absolutely nothing to do with the Tucson shootings but if Loughner was political at all, he was a leftist (he identified the Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf as two of his favorite books).

Now, back to Corkins and the FRC shooting. Unlike Palin's map - intended to generate voter enthusiasm in certain districts - the SPLC's 'Hate Map' is quite plainly intended to identify groups with which it disagrees as being legitimate targets of hatred themselves based on their political views.

Via CNS News:

At a press conference on Thursday outside the FRC headquarters in downtown Washington, FRC President Perkins said, “I want to express my appreciation to the groups and organizations that we do not agree with on many public policy issues who have also expressed their outrage at what took place here yesterday. For that, I appreciate it. I appreciate them making those statements.”

“But I would ask them to go a step further and to join us in calling for an end to the reckless rhetoric that I believe led to yesterday’s incident that took place right behind me,” he said.

“And that does bring me to my final point,” said Perkins.  “Let me be clear, that Floyd Corkins was responsible for firing the shot yesterday that wounded one of our colleagues and our friend Leo Johnson.  But Corkins was given a license to shoot an unarmed man by organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center that have been reckless in labeling organizations hate groups because they disagree with them on public policy.”

“And I believe the Southern Poverty Law Center should be held accountable for their reckless use of terminology that is leading to the intimidation and what the FBI here has categorized as an act of domestic terrorism,” he said.  “There’s no room for that in a society such as ours that works through differences that we have on issues in public policy through a peaceful means.”

It is probably not advisable for Perkins to say that SPLC gave Corkins a 'license to shoot' because that can take away from his contention that Corkins was solely responsible for the shooting. However, when applying the standard set by the likes of Krugman, it's a valid point.

The FRC shooting appears to be much more politically motivated than the Giffords shooting was. Let's see, the shooter works for a gay rights group, carries 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches in his backpack, proceeds to walk into the lobby of a socially conservative organization, and says openly that he doesn't like the politics of that organization while shooting people.

Yet, Krugman and his left-wing media colleagues are silent.

Video Report: Another Black on White Hate Crime

A white female was behind a car occupied by at least three blacks (two females, one male) at a McDonald's drive-thru. When she noticed trash being thrown out of the car in front of her, the white female voiced her disapproval, which prompted an assault, during which she was allegedly called a 'white b*tch.'

The best part? Despite a surveillance camera being pointed directly at the spot where the hate crime took place, police say the attack wasn't caught on tape and they won't release it.

Geraldo: if Trayvon 'had taken that damn hood off his head...'

Well, you gotta give credit to Geraldo for not bowing to political correctness when it comes to his opinion of Trayvon Martin's hoodie but when it comes to defending his position with Martin family attorney, Ben Crump, you gotta give him low marks. Geraldo came up empty when Crump said that Mark Zuckerberg wears a hoodie too.

First up, during an appearance on O'Reilly on May 18th, Rivera said in response to the 7/11 surveillance video of Trayvon showing the teen in a hoodie, that Martin was dressed in 'thug wear.'



A couple of days later, Geraldo had Crump on his show. Crump went after Geraldo for focusing on Trayvon's attire and Geraldo didn't have have a response.

Busted: Lesbians charged with painting threats on their own Garage

There is a reason why police in Colorado decided to arrest the two lesbians who claim someone spray painted, 'Kill the Gay' (I think the painters ran out of room for the 's') on their garage door. Primarily, because when things like this happen, the crime is very often committed by those who claim to be victims; we see it at OWS all the time. There was also a rash of such behavior back in 2009, which you can check out here.

These are bizarre traits in the left wing mind. When I had an apartment in Florida, a mixed-race couple (woman black, man white) called the local news and police out to their place because 'Ni***r lover' was spray painted on their front door. It didn't take long to determine who did it - the residents.

Anyway, in this case, both lesbians were arrested and refused to submit to lie detector tests. They also had their hands scanned for spray paint residue.

Outrage: Two white reporters attacked by Blacks; their editor hides

This story is outrageous on so many levels. Two newspaper reporters - one male and one female - for the Virginian-Pilot were assaulted and beaten when they got out of their car after it had been hit with a brick three weeks ago. Despite what appears to be an obvious hate crime - or at least racially motivated - virtually no one wants to touch the story, not even the editor of the paper, Denis Finley.

I said "virtually" because fortunately, Fox's Bill O'Reilly and Jesse Watters are willing to cover it. In the news report below, Watters actually confronts Finley, whose responses are quite lame. At one point, Finley makes the claim that he doesn't know that the attack was a hate crime or the result of a black mob. O'Reilly is incredulous at this because, as he points out, it's a newspaper's job to find these things out.

The police appear to have mishandled this case as well, so much so that the assault victims are pressing charges against them. The Attorney General for Virginia - Ken Cuccinelli - has publicly stated he will not intervene or call for the release of the 911 recordings. Cuccinelli, as some might remember, is one of the state Attorneys General who has been at the tip of the spear with respect to the Obamacare lawsuits across the country.

He's also running for Governor of Virginia in 2013.

Via Fox Nation:



**UPDATE** I sent the following e-mail to Mr. Finley:

Sir, If there's even a modicum of truth to the story that appeared on the O'Reilly Factor last night, you are both unwilling to stand by your own reporters AND unwilling to doggedly pursue the truth about what happened to them. 

Those things are at the very core of an editor's responsibility. It makes one wonder why you're in the journalism business at all. It'd be like someone with acrophobia choosing to be an airline pilot. 

Do what's right, Denis. Conquer your fear of flying or get off the plane.

I received the following response:

It was totally mischaracterized, Mr. Barrack.  Not even close.

I appreciate your note.

Denis Finley

That prompted me to hit "reply" and send this:

Denis,

Five black males attacked YOUR non-black employees and you call it a "street altercation" instead of a "black mob."

Instead of an "assault," you call it a "fight." If it was a fight, were either of your reporters cited by police? If not, why was a black teen the only one arrested? Isn't that a racially biased act on the part of the police if it was a "fight" and not an "assault"?

Perhaps you should report it that way (if it's the truth).

Instead of saying your reporter was "attacked," you say she was "involved."

Instead of saying your reporters were "assaulted by several blacks," you refer to them as a "handful of people" who were "involved in the fight."

Then you say, "there's no way for me to know if it was racially motivated." What have you done to determine that? Would you say the same thing if five white males attacked a black couple?

With all due respect, you might see O'Reilly's story as a "mischaracterization" but your answers to Mr. Watters' questions appear to be those of someone who is rationalizing uncomfortable truths.

Just curious, are you pro-life, pro-infanticide or.... pro-choice?

This is what I got back from that:

Thanks for the note.

Yes, I know she was attacked.  I don't know right now if the attack was racial.  Every time a black person attacks a white person or a white person attacks a black it is not necessarily racial.  I can't report assumptions.

If we determine it was racially motivated, we will report that.

Thank you.
Denis Finley

I have a note into Mr. Finley, asking him what the reporters said about their attackers? Did the assailants say anything that might help us find out if is was racially motivated?

**UPDATE** Mr. Finley has responded that his paper asked both reporters if the assailants said anything racial. According to him, they said there was "nothing racial" and that "no epithets or slurs were spoken." When I asked him if he told Jesse Watters that, he said:

I told him (Watters) a lot of things that were left out.

He then said:

I did not watch, but I asked those who did if he included that I said I have been critical of the rush to judgment in the Trayvon Martin case, yet I am being asked to do the same thing in this case. Apparently, he did not.

I also said that in hindsight I think we could have done a story, but (and this was cut off), it would have been very short and inside our local section, which I doubt would have appeased our critics, although I don't want to assume.

Will keep you posted...

Video: Black Male arrested in near beating death of White Male in Alabama

Here is an update to this story about a group of black adults and children who nearly beat a white man to death near Mobile, AL. Terry Rawls, a black male with a criminal history (assault victim has one as well), was arrested for participating in the beating of Matthew Owens, who is in critical condition.

It looks like the District Attorney in the case is pressing the Feds to look into whether or not a hate crime took place. In contradiction to earlier reports, police are now saying that reports of witnesses who claim they heard members of the mob reference Trayvon Martin, are false and that the high profile Florida case had nothing to do with Owens' beating.

Via WRKG, h/t GWP:

Mobile County District Attorney Ashley Rich says her office met with the U.S. Attorney, FBI and the police department about the Matthew Owens beating case.

They want the feds to decide whether a hate crime was committed.

Owens was beaten by a mob of 20 people Saturday night across the street from his sister's house on Delmar Drive. Despite witnesses telling News 5 that one of the attackers said "This is justice for Trayvon" after the beating, police say the shooting of the unarmed teenager in Sanford, Florida was not the reason for this attack.

"I can tell you this without a doubt, 100% certainty, that Trayvon Martin was not the motivating factor in this incident," says Cpl. Chris Levy.

Deputy Chief Lester Hargrove says investigators believe only four people, including Terry Rawls, were directly involved. They believe the rest of the mob just watched.

Police say the beating is the result of a three year neighborhood dispute between Rawls and Owens.

As this case has unfolded, it's fair to say that Owens doesn't appear to be anywhere close to being a saint. If reports that he threatened the kids with knives are correct, the case takes on an entirely new dimension. That said, mobs are never the answer and Rawls was rightly arrested. If Owens threatened those kids, he should be arrested as well - after he recovers.

Another fact remains. The racially charged environment created, in part, by the media is not the least bit helpful. It has made people hypersensitive about cases like this one. This story likely would not have gotten the national attention it has, had it not been for what the media, Al Sharpton, et. al. have done with the Trayvon Martin case.

Arizona: Black man shoots, kills White Hispanic, not arrested

This story appears to be the exact inverse of the narrative being pushed by Al Sharpton and his lapdog media in the Trayvon Martin case. As you know, the meme that the race baiters have been working tirelessly to beat into the consciousness of Americans is that a racist "white hispanic" murdered a black youth in cold blood without consequence, until the pressure brought to bear by those race baiters secured George Zimmerman's arrest.

Fast forward to earlier this month at a Taco Bell in Arizona and the shooting death of a "white hispanic" by a black man. The shooting victim's name was Daniel Adkins.

Here is a news report from the Fox affiliate in Phoenix:

About 7:30 p.m., a 22-year-old man and his girlfriend ordered food at the Taco Bell drive-thru and were told to pull up while their order was prepared.

At the same time, Adkins stepped around a corner into the path of the vehicle and angry words were exchanged between he and the driver.

They got into an altercation and Adkins was shot once by the driver. He died at the scene.

The driver, a 22-year-old black male, called police but has not been arrested.

At first, the couple claimed that Adkins had a metal pipe that he swung at them -- but it turns out he was holding a dog leash with his yellow lab on the other end.

Family members want that driver arrested, but he's claiming self-defense.

Paging Al Sharpton...

Video: Black Woman goes off on TV News Cameras over biased coverage

This is a follow-up to the story of a white man named Matthew Owens, who was beaten nearly to death by several blacks in a Mobile, AL neighborhood. As WKRG TV news cameras were attempting to do a story from the scene, a black female resident in the neighborhood, named Lemika Whisenhunt began yelling from behind the reporter's back, giving reasons why she thought coverage of the story was biased and in favor of Owens, who is currently in critical condition.

Whisenhunt's argument is that Owens is a racist who regularly comes out from his house swinging knives and calling black children "Ni***rs."

Uh, Lemika, even if that's true, the answer is not to get a mob together - that includes children - and beat Owens to within an inch of his life.

Note the expressions on the reporter's face throughout this video.

Via WKRG, h/t GWP:



You'll notice at the end of that video, Whisenhunt directs the news crew to where they can find her to get her side of the story. Presumably, the video below is a follow up report because it features Whisenhunt. In it, she vehemently denies that the beating of Owens has anything to do with the Trayvon case - despite witnesses claiming they heard members of the mob refer to "justice for Trayvon. Instead, according to Whisenhunt, Owens was beaten because he "does not like black kids."

I'll say it again, Lemika. Even if you are correct, it does not justify beating a man to the point where he may not survive. That said, as you will see at the end of this news report, Owens does seem to have quite a rap sheet.

White Alabama man beaten by Black Mob

If this is what it appears to be, Al Sharpton and company - to include the media - have more blood on their hands. Matthew Owens, a white man in Mobile, AL is in critical condition after being beaten by a mob of black men. One of the assailants allegedly said something about, "justice for Trayvon" as the group walked away.

Via WRKG, via GWP:

According to police, Owens fussed at some kids playing basketball in the middle of Delmar Drive about 8:30 Saturday night. They say the kids left and a group of adults returned, armed with everything but the kitchen sink.

Police tell News 5 the suspects used chairs, pipes and paint cans to beat Owens.

Owens' sister, Ashley Parker, saw the attack. "It was the scariest thing I have ever witnessed." Parker says 20 people, all African American, attacked her brother on the front porch of his home, using "brass buckles, paint cans and anything they could get their hands on."

Police will only say "multiple people" are involved.

What Parker says happened next could make the fallout from the brutal beating even worse. As the attackers walked away, leaving Owen bleeding on the ground, Parker says one of them said "Now thats justice for Trayvon." Trayvon Martin is the unarmed teenager police say was shot and killed February 26 by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman in Samford, Florida.

The answer to why the mainstream media is not covering this is quite simple. Why would the media report on a situation it helped cause?

Video: Zimmerman's Bond Hearing; a must-see

This video starts with George Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara, grilling the state investigator - Dale Gilbreath - who signed the probable cause affidavit. At several points, Gilbreath - in addition to looking like a bureaucratic lackey - comes across as being a foolish lemming for putting his name to an affidavit that is reminiscent of that of a kindergartner with finger paints.

Welcome to the media circus spawned by Al Sharpton. Gilbreath may end up being more of a casualty than Zimmerman.

Un-be-leeeev-able.

Al Sharpton Fallout: Black man in Illinois admits to beating up White Man because of Trayvon

Al Sharpton's handiwork relative to the Trayvon Martin case seems to be reaching all across the country. Thanks to him, whenever there is a black on white crime committed, people instinctively wonder if it was racially motivated based on what's going on in Sandford, FL - even if it turns out not to be the case. It now appears that a suspect in the beating of a white man in Illinois has told police that he did it because of his anger over Trayvon's killing.

Via Fox Chicago:

Alton L. Hayes III, a west suburban man charged with a hate crime, told police he was so upset about the Trayvon Martin case in Florida that he beat up a white man early Tuesday.

Hayes and a 15-year-old Chicago boy walked up behind the 19-year-old man victim and pinned his arms to his side, police said. Hayes, 18, then picked up a large tree branch, pointed it at the man and said, “Empty your pockets, white boy.”

The two allegedly rifled through the victim’s pockets, then threw him to the ground and punched him “numerous times” in the head and back before running away, police said. Hayes and the boy are black; the victim is white.

After being arrested, Hayes told police he was upset by the Trayvon Martin case and beat the man up because he was white, Cook County State’s Attorney’s office spokeswoman Tandra Simonton said, citing court records.

Let's face it, if not for Sharpton and an irresponsible mainstream media eager to listen to him, Alton L. Hayes III never would have heard of Trayvon Martin. Using someone's death to justify attacking innocent people is hardly a good way to remember that person's death.

Ripping the mask off: Holder's public alliance with Al Sharpton

Want proof that Eric Holder is an ideologue (as if you needed more)? His public alliance with Al Sharpton in the wake of the Trayvon Martin case about seals it. This is the perfect case study if you're looking for the exact opposite of a 'Sister Soulja' moment. If anyone has been publicly damaged by the handling of the Trayvon Martin case, it's Al Sharpton. If there's anyone that an administration official should consider radioactive, Sharpton is it.

That hasn't stopped Holder from publicly aligning with him.

Via CNS News:

Attorney General Eric Holder praised left-wing activist Rev. Al Sharpton at the opening of the National Action Network (NAN) convention on Wednesday, and also stressed that the Justice Department is conducting a thorough investigation of the fatal Trayvon Martin shooting that “will examine the facts and the law.”

Sharpton, president of NAN and host of MSNBC’s Politics Nation, has led several rallies demanding the arrest of George Zimmerman, who reportedly shot Martin on Feb. 26. On Mar. 30 in Sanford, Fla., where the shooting occurred, Sharpton pledged that his group  would “move to the next level if Zimmerman isn’t arrested.”

At the opening of NAN’s 14th annual convention in Washington, D.C., the attorney general first thanked MSNBC’s Rev. Sharpton “for your partnership, your friendship, and your tireless efforts to speak out for the voiceless, to stand up for the powerless, and to shine a light on the problems we must solve, and the promises we must fulfill.”

Meanwhile, white males are being beaten by black males as a direct consequence of Sharpton's actions and the actions of the New Black Panther Party (NBPP).

78-Year-Old White Male attacked by youths shouting, 'Remember Trayvon'

A 78-year-old man walking home in Toledo, OH was attacked by several youths - both black and white - in what could be a hate crime. Not only that but they shouted, 'Remember Trayvon' while beating Dallas Watts. The Toledo Blade reports that Watts may have invoked the name 'Trayvon' first, in an attempt to diffuse the situation but it appears that racial epithets were hurled at Watts while he was being beaten.

The story of Trayvon Martin's killing has been spun by race-baiting opportunists, apparatchiks, and a sycophantic media all too eager to do their bidding. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and the New Black Panther Party (NBPP) all fed the hatred by pushing forth a narrative that has been manufactured and false, in order to push a racial agenda. Based on the information that has come out in the days since, that's really not up for dispute.

While gasoline was being poured on the fire in Sanford courtesy of those men / groups, a white man was nearly beaten to death by two black men wielding a hammer - in the same area (Sanford) where Trayvon was killed. Suspicions remain about the motivations of those two men but maybe when their victim can be taken off life support, he can help us find out.

In the case of Dallas Watts, his assailants appear to have been fueled, in part, by the Trayvon shooting.

Via the Toledo Blade:

Mr. Watts said one of the boys delivered a single blow to the back of his head during the incident Saturday, knocking the victim to the ground.

At one point, the victim recalled being lifted from the ground so one of the boys could "drop-kick" him in the chest.

One boy, he said, put his foot on the back of the victim's neck, with another shouting, "Kill him."

While Mr. Watts was down the boys kicked him, over and over, shouting, "[Get] that white [man]. This is for Trayvon ... Trayvon lives, white [man]. Kill that white [man]," according to a police report.

Again, using the logic of the left, Sharpton and Company are guilty.

Two Black men Arrested for nearly beating White man to death with a Hammer... in same community where Trayvon was Killed

Two black men slightly older than Trayvon Martin pulled a 50-year-old white man from his vehicle near Sanford, FL - the same community where Trayvon was killed one month ago - and repeatedly beat him with a hammer, nearly killing him. Hate crime anyone?

Via Orlando Sentinel:

A tip to Crimeline has led to the arrests of two men in a brutal beating that occurred a week ago in the Midway community east of Sanford.

Julius Ricardo Bender, 18, and Yahaziel Isaac Israel, 19, face charges of attempted first-degree murder, burglary with assault or battery and armed burglary.

The victim, a 50-year-old Winter Springs man whose name has not been released, is on life-support at Orlando Regional Medical Center.

Deputies were called to the area of Lincoln Street and Beardall Avenue about 6:30 p.m. March 26 to investigate a report of a man being beaten, Seminole County Sheriff's spokeswoman Heather Smith said.

As Weasel Zippers points out, the Orlando Sentinel article does not make any reference to the race of either the assailants or the victim but does include mugshots of the two arrested men, who are clearly black.

A local news report on WFTV 9 does mention the race of the victim; he's white.

Ok, so at about the same time that the New Black Panther Party (NBPP) was putting a bounty on George Zimmerman's head; the same time that Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson were throwing gas on an enflaming racially tense situation in Sanford, FL; these two black men - in the same community - allegedly beat an innocent white man within an inch of his life.

Flashback to the days after the Gabrielle Giffords shooting. Within hours, the New York Times' Paul Krugman alleged that Giffords' shooting was likely a right-wing attack:

We don’t have proof yet that this was political, but the odds are that it was.

He also blamed talk radio:

You know that Republicans will yell about the evils of partisanship whenever anyone tries to make a connection between the rhetoric of Beck, Limbaugh, etc. and the violence I fear we’re going to see in the months and years ahead. But violent acts are what happen when you create a climate of hate. And it’s long past time for the GOP’s leaders to take a stand against the hate-mongers.

As it turned out, the shooter - Jared Loughner - if he was political at all, leaned left (the Communist manifesto was listed as one of his favorite books); he also didn't listen to talk radio.

Applying Paul Krugman's standard, Sharpton and Jackson should be in handcuffs right now.

Paging Paul Krugman...

Black on White Hate Crimes at Wisconsin Fair

As people were exiting the Wisconsin State Fair, mobs of black people began attacking white people for no reason, according to multiple reports. This story has not been widely reported but you can bet your last dime that had the situation been reversed - whites attacking blacks - it would have been shouted from the rooftops of the liberal media establishment. Incidentally, the multiple members of that media establishment are white and had any of them attended the Wisconsin State Fair, would have been targets.

Via WTMJ:

WEST ALLIS - Witnesses tell Newsradio 620 WTMJ and TODAY'S TMJ4 of a mob of young people attacking innocent fair-goers at the end of the opening night of State Fair, with some callers claiming a racially-charged scene.

Milwaukee Police confirmed there were assaults outside the fair.

Witnesses' accounts claim everything from dozens to hundreds of young black people beating white people as they left State Fair Thursday night.

Authorities have not given official estimates of the number of people involved in the attacks.

"It looked like they were just going after white guys, white people," said Norb Roffers of Wind Lake in an interview with Newsradio 620 WTMJ. He left the State Fair Entrance near the corner of South 84th Street and West Schlinger Avenue in West Allis.

"They were attacking everybody for no reason whatsoever."

"It was 100% racial," claimed Eric, an Iraq war veteran from St. Francis who says young people beat on his car.

"I had a black couple on my right side, and these black kids were running in between all the cars, and they were pounding on my doors and trying to open up doors on my car, and they didn't do one thing to this black couple that was in this car next to us. They just kept walking right past their car. They were looking in everybody's windshield as they were running by, seeing who was white and who was black. Guarantee it."

What are the chances that any of these thugs get charged with hate crimes? Hold your breath. Here is a WTMJ news report:

LOS ANGELES CITY COUNCIL SUBMITS

If this isn't a glaring case of Dhimmitude, please submit whatever you think trumps it. Los Angeles City Council has apparently decided that acts of violence against Muslims there are so rampant that a resolution needed to be passed to head off such conditions as 'Islamophobia' among its populace. However, when you run the numbers, Muslims - by far and away - suffer the fewest number of religious attacks. You get one guess as to what group DOES suffer the most hate crimes based on religion.

Via the Los Angeles Daily News:

WITHOUT serious debate or examination, the Los Angeles City Council recently passed a resolution that opposes "Islamophobia" and "repudiates" random acts of violence against Muslims.

This admittedly ceremonial resolution apparently accepts the premise that residents of the city commit acts of hate against Muslims so often that it warrants an official resolution from city leaders condemning and repudiating these acts. Is this really the case?

According to the latest hate crime report from the Los Angeles County Commission on Human Relations, 88 percent of all religiously based hate crimes in 2009 were against Jews. Hate crimes that targeted Muslims (3 percent) ranked slightly above those directed at Scientologists (1 percent). In fact, the commission found that attacks against Christians (8 percent) outnumbered attacks against Muslims.

In any case, the actual number of reported hate crimes based on religion is quite small. In a county that has more than 10 million highly diverse residents, only a total of 131 crimes based on religion took place in all of 2009. Of course, this in no way takes away from the emotional or physical harm that each and every one of these attacks causes.

For those interested in running the numbers, 3% of 131 = 3.93 Muslims in Los Angeles County were victims of hate crimes based on religion in 2009. Jews suffered approximately 115 such attacks yet are apparently still waiting for that resolution.

Pathetic.

VIDEO: WHITE BOY BEATEN - RETRIBUTION FOR SLAVERY

A young white male named Shane McClellan was walking home near Seattle one night when he was asked by a black man and an asian man for a lighter. After stopping to oblige the other two men, McClellan says he was dragged some distance away, beaten, and tortured for hours. He said he repeatedly asked why he was being beaten. The response that continued to come back was that it was because he was white and he was being paid back for what his people did to their people.

Via KOMO news.



SInce that video report, one of the assailants has been arrested according to the Seattle Times:

DNA recently linked Ahmed Mohamed and Jonathan Baquiring to the attack in which a 16-year-old boy was robbed, taunted with racial insults, burned with a lit cigarette and punched repeatedly. Mohamed, 22, and Baquiring, 21, each were charged Monday with first-degree robbery and malicious harassment, the state's hate-crime statute.

Baquiring was booked into the Seattle Correctional Facility just after 6 p.m. Tuesday, according to the King County Jail Booking Register. His bail is set at $500,000.

Seattle police are still searching for Mohamed.

MUSLIM BURNS DOWN HIS OWN MOSQUE - NOT HATE CRIME

A mosque in Marietta, GA was set afire earlier this week. Almost immediately, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) issued a press release, jumping to the conclusion that it was a hate crime. However, less than 48 hours after the fire, police had found their man. His name? Tasmir Lucien Mendy, a Muslim. Not only is Mendy a Muslim but he attended the mosque that he set fire to. Wouldn't you love to know the motive? If it was intended to enflame tensions by staging what looked like a hate crime, isn't that as bad, if not worse than an actual hate crime?

Kind of reminds you of what certain groups on the left like to do at Tea Parties, posing as racist protesters. This is not an uncommon tactic of enemies to the west. Take note.

Check out what CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper had to say before Mendy was arrested.

“Given the recent wave of incidents targeting American mosques, a possible bias motive for this apparent arson attack must be considered,” said CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper. “Unfortunately, there is a vocal minority in our society promoting anti-Muslim bigotry, and that minority is experiencing little or no pushback from mainstream religious and political leaders.”

Black on White Crime Exempt From Hate Crimes Laws?

Imagine a family standing outside their friends' home while watching fireworks with the homeowners. Then imagine a mob of about 50 racists approaching and ultimately attacking the family who doesn't share the mob's race.

Was it the KKK?

Nope.

Phil Trexler at the Akron Beacon Journal repors that it was a group of black teens who were shouting, "This is our world" and "This is a black world". Yup, after trespassing onto the property of a white family, the black teens shoved members of the Marshall family, including a teenage girl they pushed to the ground.

Quoting from Trexler's piece...

They said it started when one teen, without any words or warning, blindsided and assaulted Marshall's friend as he stood outside with the others.

WOW! Sounds like a hate crime, doesn't it?

Not so fast...

Akron police are investigating. Right now, the case is not being classified as a racial hate crime.

Perhaps this ambiguity will cause Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to head to Akron!
