"Most union, civil service cops these days will find a doughnut shop rather than willingly walk into a situation where there is significant personal danger. Look at New Orleans during Katrina."

When I resided in the D.C. area, that was precisely the plan of operation for all local police departments. Openly stated. In the event of "civil disturbance," operational planning called for a cordon around the affected area, and allowing everything inside to burn itself out over the course of time.

Outdated pre-digital age tactics: all based on the simple premise that rioters always eventually settled down, and lined up in front of the local neighborhood welfare offices to receive their payouts in the form of paper checks. All that comes by EBT now. There will be no "settling down." Everbody inside the cordon will be SOL.

Another factor: Austin absorbed ~20K Katrina refugees, and the impact was immediate. The 10-11-12 year olds that settled are now rioting age.

I'm guessing not.

My neighborhood isn't all that riot friendly.

Besides the recent black mob problems, the article says Austin is being inundated with dirt poor Hispanics because it is a sanctuary city.

That is self-inflicted and therefore can be self-corrected, if they choose.

I heard that call during my walk. I don't know if she lied during the first call or the second. Guess she learned well from 0 bummer.

The next question is: why, after fifty years of civil rights legislation, affirmative discrimination, and many attempts at education reform, are so many young, black males essentially barely or not at all civilized?

- Some will attribute it to the rap/thug culture popularized in today's media. I think the reasons are rooted much farther back in time than that.
- Some point to the epidemic of fatherless black children and poor inner city schools but these are simply the manifestations of a failed liberal society. There are poor whites, too, but they don't go about rampaging.
- Some explain it with the simple saying You can take the black out of the jungle but you can't take the jungle out of the black. That is close but doesn't explain why.
- A much simplified explanation as I see it:

-- Modern man evolved in Africa from his ancient ancestors a few hundred thousand years ago. Keeping it simple, the ancestors of the blacks we know today simply stayed in the warm regions of Africa where the living was relatively easy. Basically, they didn't need to develop new skills or learn new things to survive. They could basically live off the fruits of the jungle regions. From an evolutionary standpoint, they stagnated for thousands of generations, basically until the present days.
-- The ancestors of today's non-blacks, however, migrated north into Europe and Asia where it was much colder. The extreme cold neccesitated learning new ways to survive. Living in caves, wearing animal fur, making fire, developing weapons and techniques to kill or build what they needed to survive. In short, the evolving humans that eventually became today's non-blacks had to get smarter to survive. All this knowledge had to be preserved and passed on so eventually languages and writing skills were developed.
-- That's basically how I see it. On the one hand, we have the migrating, hardy folk willing and able to learn, over time, how to deal with new challenges. On the other hand, we have the unmotivated who were content to simply exist, which, in turn, retarded their evolution. They thus retained much of their ancient violence and "jungle instincts" to this very day.

When the “zombie apocalypse” starts, the police will have a choice of protecting the public at large (insofar as they can) vs protecting their families. Do the math, preferably before it starts.

I think games started changing to Zombies after Columbine.
The change is considered politically correct. Naturally.

Angry black youths inexplicably converged by the Highland Mall,

Liberals, like sheep are surprised to see the sun rise each morning.

I agree with most of what you said. However, I do think if the black underclass were mass sterilized, the black Americans with IQs above 90 could successfully adapt. Their average IQ would be increased by maybe 10 pts putting them in range of most other Americans. I think if you did an IQ test on the great majority of the black thugs rioting and assaulting whites and other black people, you'd find most of them with IQs in the 75-85 range. Get rid of them, and things will get better for everyone.

I think the great majority of whites, even many of the ones who voted for Obama, are thoroughly fed up. They don't believe the lies from Washington or even many conservatives that better schools or other stop-gap "solutions" will do anything for the black underclass. The sad fact is the bottom half of the black population in America as it currently stands cannot adapt to modern life.

You are just figuring this out? Or are you just being a wiseguy?

Thanks, it’s just a theory. But it does seem plausible, doesn’t it? I mean, I don’t think Hollywood just dreamed up all those throwback black tribesmen in the Tarzan movies.

We are stuck with those that are here, of all races. I’d like for the country to get a handle on immigration and to somehow motivate the know-nothing voters to actually pay attention to current events and also learn some history. Learn it before the progressives get it all re-written, that is.

If this dreadful 0bamaRobertscare (as I call it) can wake people from their day-to-day slumber, maybe that will help to turn our national course away from socialism and back toward maintaining a free republic.

Not eating as a consequence for not working would have much the same effect.

Here, here! Like all those that migrated to America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. If they didn't work, they starved.

I think the scientific and practical evidence is quite overwhelming, don't you? I'm not with the crowd who thinks all black people are worthless. Obviously, with the likes of Thomas Sowell (one of my personal heroes) and a number of others, millions of black Americans can produce.

But their numbers are quite small compared to the many more millions of black Americans who are leeches, criminals, or simply putting in their time thanks to affirmative action/discrimination where in many jobs it is all but impossible to fire them. Ever since affirmative discrimination, few whites have respect for any black person who they think was given a job or title simply because they were an "oppressed" minority. I certainly have none. Respect is given where respect is due.
