Dunkin' Donuts 'rampage' caught on video...

These are no “shoplifting” episodes, and I don’t see anyone singling out black people for shoplifting. That has nothing to do with it, I suggest you find a different analogy.

There are plenty of discussions on Free Republic of people doing things wrong, and the racial makeup is not a question. This is different because these are unusual crimes (though apparently not as unusual as many of us think, if the accounts of some people are to be believed) there is video of the events, and ALL of the participants are of one racial makeup.

You did not answer a single question I asked of you. Please answer them. If you wish to simply ask me questions without answering mine, we cannot have a dialogue.

You have not been on this site for very long, relatively speaking, and I am giving you the benefit of the doubt as to your evaluation of what goes on at Free Republic. But if you don’t wish to engage in honest dialogue, then I will draw a different conclusion.

I hadn’t heard of that, but it sounds like a similar type of thing from what I can find. The media reports assiduously avoid any comment on the racial makeup, and the video I can find is not revealing, though the comments of some people who claim to have been there and seen it first hand don’t leave much doubt.

The salient point is not that blacks commit crimes, they do. So do whites.

What is important is the unusual type of crime, and that it is apparently being done by predominately blacks, and is not being done out of purported necessity, as some types of larcenous crimes by underprivileged people sometimes are. It is being done by people who are doing it for specific reasons of their own which are as of yet unknown.

That is what is important, and the fact that consumers of news in this country would have no idea it is being perpetrated by a group of one racial makeup, because they cannot report it for some reason(s).

Our questions should be:

1.) Is it significant that this unusual type of crime is predominately a black crime?

2.) Why are media outlets either unwilling or unable to report this fact?

Out of the two questions, I think question #2 is the more important one to ask.

1) Someone in the “community” is “organizing” these thugs.
2) Confiscate their cell phones if they are caught and check their text and voice messages.
3) Pass a law that carries a mandatory jail sentence if a cell phone is used to coordinate these acts.
4) For the store “mob” robberies, equip the exit doors with a dye that doesn’t come off for days, no matter how hard they scrub. The kind banks use.
Make it White dye as that would be ironic and spray them with it as they leave, marking them and also ruining any clothing or other items they’ve stolen.
5) Ban these thugs from retail stores for a period of several years if convicted.
6) Before they change their tactics to home invasions, buy yourself a home-defense weapon if you don’t have one.
A Maverick 88, which is made by Mossberg and is basically a Mossberg 500 copy can be had for a little over $200.00, not including transfer fees.
