The Blood Flows in Rochester
American Thinker ^ | 10/11/2013 | Colin Flaherty

Rochester city councilman Adam McFadden has to be wondering why so many people are still so puzzled at the frequent black mob violence in Rochester.

After all, McFadden explained it all to us just two years ago.

"I think what you saw at the beach is what we've been seeing in many of our neighborhoods for two decades," (black) Councilman McFadden told WHAM TV. "It's just that you had a lot of people there who are not used to that culture and got to witness it personally."

I grew up in Rochester in the 50's and 60's. Back then there was a saying: "If you want to get away with murder, go to Rochester."

I graduated high school in '65. Moved away in 1972, and mighty glad that I did with the way the place has changed. The city was never this way when I lived there. I went to a mixed race school. Our football and basketball teams had a large number of blacks. In fact, our starting basketball team had only one white guy on it. I never saw blacks and whites fight each other. Any violence that erupted was white on white, or black on black...and it was very rare.

You’re correct.

Blacks that adopt common law acculturation do well. The Jungle is indeed not in them.

However black + pathological liberal entitlement acts like a binary chemical weapon. With a real world death toll greater than many wars.

Rochester, NY....where 5% of city school district students are proficient on state exams and 88% are eligible for free/discounted lunches.

Ok. I just misunderstood what you meant by “You prove my point.”

Oh... and New York State has very severe restrictions on handgun ownership and carrying.

Gee, I wonder if the two are related......

Lt. Jonna Izzo explained it to News 8: "They have pent up energy from being scared in the movie theater and they come out and they don't know what to do with that energy."

Shameful, utterly shameful! How someone could say something so asinine with a straight face is beyond me.

Benghazi II? I say we arrest the film-maker for causing king hussein’s sons to go out and riot/commit violent unplanned attacks on persons and property. It wasn’t their fault after all. Besides, what difference does it make now anyway?

I’m so glad I escaped Rochester.

I grew up in Syracuse. To me, Rochester was a gleaming, high-tech jewel. When Ronald Reagan spoke of "a shining city on a hill," I visualized Rochester on a hill.

Kodak, with their wonderful advertisements showing a Kodachrome world. Bausch & Lomb, makers of beautiful lenses with their sexy blue fluorite coatings. Xerox, high-tech world leader, darling of Wall Street. The Eastman School of Music, the Eastman Wind Ensemble.

I got to spend a few days there in the fall of 1972 (I was in the All State Jazz Ensemble that year). As my parents drove me home, I cried silently as the city receded behind us.

Maybe that was part of the problem? Economic prosperity and kindness of the populace attracted the Alinskyites and moochers?

Great. And I have to travel to that city next month. And of course, I will have to be TOTALLY disarmed, since even touching down in New York with an "unregistered" handgun in your bags is an instant felony. I doubt I will even be able to take a decent knife on the plane.

But I may face armed black mobs who want to kill me for the crime of being a white man.

Great.

I escaped in 1978. I’ve been trying to get remaining family to move ever since.

I have to admit, it was such a wonderful place to grow up back then. It’s like another planet now. My siblings and I used to catch the bus downtown as 11 and 12 year olds to wander around the Midtown mall. I won’t even DRIVE within 10 miles of downtown now.

Time to pour some disinfectant on that “culture”.

WTH does anyone still live in NY? I am from Albany and you couldn’t pay me enough money to go back there. I’d sever a limb before I went back for so many reasons.
