A New Poster Child for Black on White Crime
American Thinker ^ | 12/26/2014

Posted on 12/26/2014 8:45:23 AM PST by Altura Ct.

Paige Stalker might be alive today had she learned about Routine Activity Theory.

But she is dead and two of her friends are critically wounded, the latest poster children for R.A.T.: White people in black neighborhoods should expect to be the victims of racial violence.

Paige was one of five teenagers from an upscale neighborhood in nearby Grosse Point who were on their way to the movies three days before Christmas when they decided to pull over and smoke marijuana in Detroit.

While they were getting a high, a black man with a high-powered rifle approached their car and fired 30 rounds into it, killing Paige.

Paige and her friends learned the hard way what in 2012 became well known in a Chicago courtroom. The case revolved around a white woman who was released from jail into a black neighborhood. Hours later, she was thrown out of the seventh-story window of a local housing project.

Her parents sued the city of Chicago, saying the city should have known their white daughter would be a victim of violence in that black neighborhood.

That was the testimony of Harvard sociology professor Robert Sampson and what the judge said when he described R.A.T. The woman “was a white female in a predominantly black, poor neighborhood (and) she had a much higher risk of predatory victimization.”

The judge said the situation was so transparently dangerous (link corrected) that Chicago police “might as well have released her into the lions’ den at the Brookfield Zoo.”

The city’s lawyers claimed the professor was guilty of racial profiling and demanded the judge throw out his testimony. Judge Frank Easterbrook scorned that argument and approved a judgment against the city for $22.5 million.

It’s sad that the woman is dead, but later in the article, I’m happy that the judge approved the lawsuit for $22.5 million. I think the family would’ve been just as happy with $5 to $10 million, if all those involved were arrested and charged as accessories to murder.

A stupid white person who goes into da hood can expect to wind up dead.

Liberal white guilt has clear limits.

Black racism is politically correct and is tolerated in this country.

After all, they need to stand up to Da Man.

What evidence does Mr. Feherty have that this killing was racially motivated?

Dope addicts should expect to be the victim of drug violence.

She’s a poster child for bad choices.

The media and governments involved that bury crime stats are culpable to some extent; they are outright lying to people about the state of affairs in some areas, and people are dying as a result.

Newark NJ has been trying to attract white consumers for decades, but everybody knows the real deal so such attempts fall flat.

Screw going to the hood. That is a given. I won’t stop any place if I see don’t see at least a 4 to 1 white to Amish ratio. .

It’s a way for blacks to self segregate

It’s a way for whites to explore their position in the Darwin hierarchy.

The case revolved around a white woman who was released from jail into a black neighborhood.

Transcends negligence and rises to actual malice.

Hey white kids, just because you may think black kids are cool, doesn’t mean they think you are.

My nephew was defending Michael Brown and pretty much implying I was racist for assuming he was a thug. He lives in a big city and I told him that I prayed he didn’t go into certain neighborhoods after dark. That pretty much ended the conversation. I might have mentioned the stats on abortion of black babies too.

Seems like blacks in black neighborhood have the same problems - it’s the jungle.

In the olden days neighborhoods were often clearly defined. You did not go on that side of the tracks, or cross that bridge. Now days, you really don’t know where it is safe unless you are in a gated community.

As a result, I prefer to do my driving in the day till I know a town better.

What I find so interesting about this phenomenon is that it's identical to what you would have read and heard back in the mid-1800s about white people traveling unprotected across Kansas or the Dakota Territories. Travel there at your own risk.

Black neighborhoods have become the modern equivalent of Indian reservations. Staying the hell out of them will save you a lot of aggravation (at best) or lethal violence (at worst).

I didn’t venture out to midnight Mass for that very reason. I get in before dark and stay in.
