[HELLRAISER II]

I don't have any white guilt although a lot of us do. The law better get control of this soon or there will be some race wars right around the corner.

[Dakmar]

What if that person had run a few of their sorry butts over because they were scared

National headlines, top TV news story for six months, HBO and Showtime movies, and an MTV special called "Stop The Hate, Whitey".

[HELLRAISER II]

Their reparations are loaded right here in our guns.

[glock rocks]

So what's the excuse? What's the politically correct “root cause” for racial violence that makes Cincinnati look worse than Bulgaria?

um, rioters?

[Dakmar]

If blacks are not capable of racism, they are not capable of hate. < /sarcasm >

[HELLRAISER II]

What can I say to you other than "Yeah your right." It's a damn travesty is it not?

[Dakmar]

Cincinatti, aka Harare on the Ohio.

Blackhawk Down

The behaviour is very similar. IMO, the appropriate response is the same, as well. Invoke rule .308.

[End Times Sentinel]

Shouldn't this be classified a hate crime? Just curious.

Should be, but won’t. Exactly why “Hate Crime” legislation is idiotic as well as immoral and unconstitutional.

No one will likely even be arrested. Wouldn’t want to upset “the community”.

This got little to no air play on TV. They are, as a local version of Drudge calls them, "Knee-Pad Liberals in the Press".

[HELLRAISER II]

There won't be any change in those politics either until we Whitey's have had enough, the problem is they are the racists & they can do what they want. But when we would simply be protecting ourselves the News would label us racists, but you know what? I'm beginning to think that that's alright, I can live with it.

I've heard that race war crap for all my life (I'm 38) and I think it is a bunch of hoopla. Our fates are probably something like Zimbabwe yet thru this White Guilt fades from conciousness and we carry on like a larger Jewish dispora. In the end this country is destroyed and it will look like our cities or an average African nation, welfare ends because the state has lost what little power left to control what remains of caucasion Americans and the bulk of these same peoples live in inhospitiable cold climes where stupid people with sub average IQs freeze to death in the Winter.

[Dakmar]

Is rule 308 similar to French Rules? (Shoot first rioter, if riot continues, shoot another...) ?

[Gritty]

“I don't know about all this,” Mr. Merjanski said. “I don't know what the problem is.”

Nobody does.

Horsefeathers!

Try:

a group of people with a huge chip on their shoulder
a pervasive criminal element
a culture that glorifies violence and "getting even"
people that know they will get away with it
out-of-control thuggish behavior
a political class that encourages this (or at least looks the other way)
racism on the part of the perpetrators.

Need any more clues, Mr. Merjanski?

[Richard Kimball]

“I don't know about all this,” Mr. Merjanski said. “I don't know what the problem is.”

Maybe they like doing it and have found out no one has the guts to stop them.

[Kermit]

Cover up for black misbehavior and black racism once again. I'm surprised this columnist could get this article published.

One of the problems with the Cincinnati media is a problem found everywhere: The Cincy Enquirer is owned by Gannet -- a mediocre news organization whose flagship "USA Today" apes highschool journalism; The Cincy Post is owned by Scripps -- and there isn't a dime's worth of difference between it and the Enquirer. To expect honest reporting from either paper is asking too much.

[ArrogantBustard]

That's the basic idea. With any luck at all, you run out of rioters before you run out of ammunition.

Haha! That nasty rag had the gall to say that abortion prevents crime? Actually, abortion reduces taxes that pay for welfare! Whites kill their babies. Minority women keep theirs.

Actually, statistics show that black women, despite a high live birth rate, still have abortions at a rate four times higher than white women. "Abortion reduces crime" is a tricky slogan for liberals to use, because the higher proportion of black women having abortions implies that "decline" in crime comes from aborting black babies.

I guess the Tribune figures its readers (or its writers) aren't smart enough to catch the racist implication of that statement.
