Attacks mar Iowa State Fair
Posted: Aug 25, 2010 10:01 AM CDT Updated: Aug 25, 2010 10:01 AM CDT
Des Moines police are investigating a string of attacks at the Iowa State Fair, and say they may be racially motivated.
Police say in the latest attack on the fair's final night, Sunday, 30 to 40 teens roamed the fairgrounds looking for trouble.
Some teens had been yelling, "IT'S BEAT WHITEY NIGHT."
State Troopers say they tried to disperse a crowd of teens Sunday night near the main gate at the fairgrounds, but once the teens left the grounds, they started fighting with Des Moines Police officers.
One officer reported someone hit him and knocked him to the ground in the skirmish.
In all, three officers reported minor injuries after teens punched and kicked them.
Officers reported using chemical sprays and a Taser to subdue the attackers.
Police cited at least three teens for failing to disperse the area.
Des Moines Police spokeswoman Lori Lavorato said officers are still trying to figure out what role, if any, race had in the incidents.
"We had a lot of assaults on people randomly walking out of the Iowa State Fair. Most of our victims happen to be white. Is that a racial thing? I don't know. It's all under investigation," she said.
Lavorato said the department had brought in an extra unit Friday and Saturday for extra protection, but the unit wasn't assigned to the fair Sunday when the latest fight happened

“Officers reported using chemical sprays and a Taser to subdue the attackers.”

I can hardly wait for the media spin on this.

(Des Moines Register) Des Moines police are trying to determine what led to a series of attacks outside the Iowa State Fairgrounds over the weekend that included the assault of two police officers. At least three people were arrested Friday through early Monday morning. Other arrests may occur as officers investigate the incidents, officials said. There are indications that some of the fights which appear to involve mostly teenagers and young adults were racially motivated, police said. We dont know if this was juveniles... |

These cops are abunch of PC idiots. A bunch of black punks yelling “it’s beat whitey night” beat up a bunch of white people and the cops “wonder” if race is involved! You can damn sure bet if it was the other way around they wouldn’t be “wondering”!
On the other hand if it were “Beat blackie night at the fair” and blacks were being beaten up by whites, it would be so much simpler to decipher. “YEAH THAT WOULD BE RACISM!!!”
Where are the Hells Angels when they are needed?
What a joke! It would be “politically incorrect” to call it racially motivated, wouldn’t it? Some liberals might get upset. This country becomes more and more of a joke every day. If a person can’t call something by its right name, they should at least keep their mouths shut.
>> I can hardly wait for the media spin on this.
“Whitey brings it on himself... by being whitey.”
I literal CLOUD of tweets and TXT messages should have been sent and the “crackers” should have arranged (or should arrange in the near future) a “crackers ain’t comin’” night.
The reduction in revenue should make fair officials take notice.
One of the factoids that emerged from the New Black Panthers’ voting intimidation case was that Eric Holder’s Justice Department will not prosecute black on white incidents. In other words, this was a just a bunch of exuberant teenagers who got involved in an altercation with kids from another school, or another part of town, for reasons OTHER than the differences in the various amounts of melanin.
they may be racially motivated.
A white guy punches a booger in the face, and immediately, it is racially motivated; whether it was or was not. The white guy is guilty as charged.
Blacks assault whites and the police say the attacks “may be racially motivated”. It is disgusting!!
So why didn’t “Whitey” go back to his pick up truck and empty the gun rack...??
Arkansas State Fair starts in a few weeks. I’ll be upgunning to my Colt Delta Elite 10mm for that night.
"Racist police deny blacks their right to beat up people".
“I can hardly wait for the media spin on this.”

Altoona siblings take the cake at the fair
This is of course the Insane State whose Federal Judge locked Shlomo Rubashkin away for 27 years in prison for a “fraud” that harmed no one. Such a state can’t tell right from wrong, so of course they can’t call this public riot for what it is — a race riot, racial thuggery. And being unable to call it what it is, they will be unable to fix it.
It will get worse. Moral confusion emboldens the violent and immoral.
Yes, we must question ourselves...
I wanted the music to play on forever
Have I stayed too white at the fair?
I wanted the clown to be constantly clever
Have I stayed too white at the fair?
I do so miss mine :-( My ex-wife wanted custody of the money it was worth....

These people are creeping up to a line they REALLY don’t want to cross. I wonder how many people there were armed, but showed enough restraint not to draw or fire?
They’re playing with fire, and they’re going to get burned eventually. If someone is going to cause or is causing serious bodily harm, no one has to simply take it.
Oh, well—at least this incident inspired me to write a new tagline.
“Des Moines police are investigating a string of attacks at the Iowa State Fair, and say they may be racially motivated.”
“Some teens had been yelling, “IT’S BEAT WHITEY NIGHT.”
Wonder what their fisrt clue was?
People are going to have to start going out in blackface just to be safe. How’s that for irony?
They are disenfranchised yutes just getting their lives turned around.
“Most of our victims happen to be white. Is that a racial thing? I don’t know”
Now that sounds like your typical very stupid public employee.
They won’t spin it; they’ll ignore it.
No need to spin something that didn’t happen.
That just makes sense, doesn’t it?
So why didnt Whitey go back to his pick up truck and empty the gun rack...??
Cause it weren’t TEXAS.
is Iowa a ccw state?

“So why didnt Whitey go back to his pick up truck and empty the gun rack...??”
Umm...because America has been so feminized that a redneck today is about where a poindexter was in 1960?
The state fair is one of our many 'off limits' places - where we can't legally carry. Our law changes Jan 1, gonna make it quite a bit better...but I doubt the fairgrounds status will change.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
It's actually the result of a lot of tax money going to psychological analysis and public perception. Leftists need to constantly challenge open, obvious truths in such a way that the liberal mind will doubt their own knowledge, and obey the Leftist insanity instead. So studies were made as to how to do this. You are looking at the result.
Just try the formula - and imagine you're saying these things to a liberal:
Most of our apples happen to fall from the tree. Is that a gravity thing? I dont know
Most of our water gets rid of dryness. Is that a wetness thing? I dont know
Most of our boats happen to have hulls. Is that a floating thing? I dont know
Most of our babies are born alive. Are they human beings? I dont know
See? The liberal would be seriously confused by these statements, and as a result would knee-jerk the "I don't know" conclusion for themselves to resolve the problem. Because to a liberal, these aren't statements to be rationally considered. Instead, they are instructions to be understood and obeyed.
And THAT is what makes a liberal, a liberal.
hope whitey’s got his guns.
:)
I am trying to figure out what role, if any, the PD played in stopping this nonsense. They need to man up and let the boss know they aren’t gonna go home to lick their wounds from young boys and girls.
Change your name to what it should be; Lori Lavatory.
