The Denver Police Department announced today that they have made 32 arrests during a sweep to end a four-month spree of what police said were racially motivated assaults and robberies in downtown Denver, including the LoDo entertainment district.

A task force comprised of the Denver Police, FBI and the Denver District Attorney's Office investigated 26 incidents in which groups of black males verbally harassed and then assaulted white or Hispanic males, according to Denver Police Chief Gerry Whitman.

Many of the victims were robbed after being assaulted.

Three suspects, Allan Ford, Torrance McCall and one juvenile are still at large. Suspects are being held on $1 million bonds for each count.

Is this “HATE” crimes?

Or is that only what straight, white people do?

If by ‘militia’ you mean ‘gang of violent thieves.’

Well, there you go. Invite these two insects out to rural America hunting counties - white, black, Indian, doesn’t matter - and see how they fare.

Come on, boys. Assault us.

I know what you mean. I think the problem with cities the size of Indianapolis is that they are not big enough to keep the thugs isolated to certain parts. It only takes a few minutes to go from one side of town to the other, thereby, spreading the thuggery to every corner

I’m really sad to hear this. It would have been unimaginable in 1974-80 when I was there.

You mean Pena? I remember that scumbag too. What a disaster.

Blacks learn race blame, hate and pride doctrines from the time they enter the first grade. Diversity is the racializing of people - whitey excluded as whitey is targeted.

Pena destroyed working class neighborhoods also with his “dispersed housing” agenda, buying modest homes in working-class neighborhoods and turning them into “public” housing. I lived (and still live) in one of those neighborhoods he destroyed. We had loud meetings with Pena where we were called racists. He got his way and the neighborhood stinks now.

Hell, I remember when DETROIT used to be a good, beautiful and safe place to raise families.....Yes, I’m THAT old!

Then the Liberal Democrats took control and made some changes, telling us we would all be much happier...and now the once great city where I was born and raised is the murder capital of the world and unable to bury its dead...

The Libs are now in the process of doing to America what they did to Detroit...and soon there will be no place left to go, to get away from it.

The Denver {com}Post is exactly why I signed up here. I used to post on the Rocky Mountain News forum, but the hatred, nastiness & liberal bed-wetting is too much for me at the Post.

The wrong paper went under.

Is there more of this kind of thing, or is this some sort of Obama entitlement phenomenon?


residual effect of Bush’s domestic policies. How can we blame anyone who had to experience 8 years of Bush and 6 years of a racist party in power. These arrests are outrageous and politically motivated. /s

Wasn’t communist sympathizer Sam Brown the Lt. Gov. during this time before he was appointed by Carter to wreck, er, head, VISTA which he filled with ACORN people who then funded ACORN and other marxist groups?

I think the police “acted stupidly” in making these arrests.
