istanbul huh?

I wonder what they would have done with a guy who stole 50 dollars worth of stuff, shoved the shopkeeper, and then slugged a cop and tried to steal his gun.

Criminality is not a civil right.

Anything heard from Occupied Constantinople these days is heard from the reborn Ottomans, state sponsors of ISIS.

Ask them how many members of PKK are still in their jails, and if a majority of their population isn't, in fact, Kurds.

Tell The Turk to pee up a rope.

I’m guessing that a Turkish Michael Brown would’ve been buried in two pieces.

If Turkey is so concerned about how we treat our Negros, they are welcome to adopt them and raise them. I’ll help pay for the transatlantic shipping costs.

Rioting because you are criminal is not American, it is more out of the Planet of the Apes.

The more I read stories like this it is increasingly clear that what is really wanted is a get out of jail free card for black thugs. Jackson, Obama, Holder, et al want to criminalize self defense when attackers are black. How can anyone conclude otherwise?

I’m kind of concerned about the War on Whites, myself. Affirmative action, increased taxes, lax enforcement of the law on minorities. For a working person, any conviction is a big deal. For a favored sub-group, not so much.

Notice how he talks about Malcolm X being a Muslim (not really, NOI are considered infidels by most real Muslims) but fails to mention MLK, Jr’s religion?

200 cops on overtime costing millions of dollars. They should just end the demonstrations by giving every protestor $1000 and send them home.

As I understand it, a theif usually has his hand cut off if he is caught stealing in Muslim countries. Maybe that’s what we should be doing.

And it's not race at all...it's thug culture.

These thugs could just as easily be White, Asian, or Hispanic.

I’m an Asian American female married to a Caucasion American man. Neither me or any of our four kids have ever experienced any discrimination. I don’t usually use labels like this either. We’re just Americans and we don’t worry about stuff like that.

I don’t struggle as I don’t see there being injustice only towards blacks. I see injustice towards everyone. Blacks are just self centered and think it is always about them.

I did not find data for the years 1996 through 2003

I was surprised to find FBI victim/offender race data released during the Obama Administration. The DoJ survey (emphasis on survey) of crime victims after 2008 no longer has the Table 42 data. If someone knows where the Table 42 data are displayed for year 2009 and beyond please let me know. Thanks.
