It was a spasm of violence that stunned residents: some 200 black youths raising hell - what police called a full-blown riot - in Austin, Texas.
Angry black youths inexplicably converged by the Highland Mall, near an iconic haunted house attraction, and walked atop parked cars, fought among themselves, and hurled rocks at some 30 arriving police officers. Several people, including one officer, suffered minor injuries. Later, police said so many squad cars were need that the department was unable to provide adequate 911 emergency coverage to the rest of Austin. There were no reports of black-on-white violence, to be sure, as has often occurred at similarly gatherings across the country. The violence was unprecedented in hip and liberal Austin and, police later said, inexplicable. From America's small towns to urban metropolises, black mob violence has been on the rise in recent years, despite President Barack Obama's pledge, as the first black president, to bring hope and change to a post-racial America. Some of the violence has involved rowdy black youths simply raising hell, coming together in threatening flash mobs or converging for events like Miami's Urban Beach Week; yet many gatherings of black mobs have involved vicious and unprovoked attacks on whites, such as one that recently occurred in Brooklyn, New York. Ten black youths blocked a white couple's car while shouting racial slurs, then beat up the husband and pulled the wife by hair onto the street.
Author and journalist Colin Flaherty has chronicled the trend of black mob violence in his book "White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America." Austin had escaped this trend until last Saturday night, when some 200 black youths rampaged near an iconic haunted-house attraction, the House of Torment, at the nearly empty Highland Mall.

I'd agree, and also harsh (very, very harsh) punishment for recidivist criminals.
“When was the last time anyone here was actually ‘protected’, I mean saved from harm, by the Police?
Anybody?”
Years ago, my ex was beating the crap outta me, and I managed to call 9-1-1 and a nice lady cop came and made him stop at gunpoint and hauled him away.
Of course that WAS 15 years ago and I DO live in ‘Flyover Country’ where that kind of behavior by men is STILL frowned upon. :)
Today? I KNOW I’m on my own...and I’m MORE than prepared. :)
Yeah, chains and making big rocks into little ones for 10 years would reduce the recidivism rate dramatically.
Scripture tells us that hunger is good for a man because it drives him on. It drives him to work hard and have good character in order to eat.
Moscow on the Colorado?
I know of Moscow on the Hudson.
I know of Moscow on the Potomac
But, but, but ... racism! slavery! civil rights! Trayvon!
Yep, we’ve let the left build that collective guilt to the point that we can’t even do things that are common sense.
Maybe the code phrase should change from “Zombie Apocalypse” to “Holderite Apocalypse”.
Yes, good points. The phrase “with all due respect...” actually means what it says.
And of course no race or any group are all one way. The Negroid race has many, many folks of excellent character, living an honarable life with distinction...like Thomas Sowell as you suggest. SC Justice Clarence Thomas, trumpeter Louis Armstrong, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, baseballer Hank Aaron, all-around scientist and inventor George Washington Carver....just a few.
There’s the good, bad and indifferent in all peoples, it just seems to me the percentage of undesirables is higher in the black race.
Glad your 9-1-1 had a good outcome. Me, I don’t call 9-1-1. And I would advise anyone who might consider it to be prepared to accept the consequences. Good or bad I guess.
The cops are not your friends.
Nobody will call you a racist for preparing for the Zombie Apocalypse...
People voted for a "community organizer".
Because it's not in keeping with their freaky treehugging liberal city motto, "Keepin' Austin Weird." No one with any common sense shops at Highland Mall. It's been overrun with the bad element types for years. A couple years ago, the mall wanted to close down during the track and field competiton weekend at UT because too much of that certain element would end up there every year and brought all sorts of trouble with it. But the powers that be wouldn't let the mall close because that would be racist.
Indeed, the people of Austin should enjoy the fruits of their liberal labors. The city's drug warriors should, too.
There's that, too.
Which provides the perfect solution to the Washington Redskins problem....Just remove the last four letters and make it "Washington Reds."
Oh, I don’t disagree with that one bit!
is woody Harrelson, right? Yes, but I prefer... 
to be called Rita--
Question...

You are idiot, Wang! The answer...
