This is what I sent my state(PA) legislators and the totally worthless ones I have who represent PA (Casey, Toomey and Gerlach):
Gentlemen, I would like to invite your attention to a story recently published by a Washington, D.C. CBS news outlet at http://washington.cbslocal.com/2013/11/16/potentially-fatal-knockout-game-targeting-strangers-may-be-spreading-to-d-c/
This story details the spread of a new kind of assault on our citizens, called the Knock-Out Game. The object of the game is to punch an unsuspecting passerby and see if you can knock them unconscious with a single blow. This ‘game’ originated in St. Louis and has spread to every major metro in the country, and will soon, I fear, be a part of the urban landscape in smaller cities as well.
What the author of this story fails to mention, as does every other mainstream media outlet, is that this ‘game’ is played almost exclusively by gangs of African-American teens and the victims are always white, Asian or Hispanic. This game has resulted in several injuries and deaths across America.
I believe that the origins of this new black-on-white violence can be traced back to Attorney General Eric Holder’s public pronouncement that crimes committed by blacks would not be prosecuted with the same standard as crimes committed by whites. The story at http://www.examiner.com/article/attorney-general-eric-holder-refuses-to-apply-the-law-equally provides some useful background and documentation of Holder’s position.
It is quite clear to me that the young black communities believe they have a pass from the DOJ and possibly Obama himself to attack people of other races indiscriminately with little fear of consequences.
My question to you is this: what can we, in the Commonwealth, do from a legislative standpoint to pass hate crime laws and possibly RICO type laws that would guarantee stiff, mandatory minimum prison for the perpetrators and possibly revocation of state welfare and entitlement benefits to parents of these out-of-control youth?
If you feel the need to acquire more background on this rising tide of black-on-white violence, I suggest you get in touch with author Colin Flaherty, who has written a book on the subject that can be found at http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/.
I am looking forward to either a written response to my concern or a phone call.
Think it’s far past time to go from concealed carry to universal OPEN carry. Honestly ....why should anyone have to conceal anything nowadays with monsters like these roaming the streets. It’s worst than the days of the old wild west.
Excellent letter.
