Armstrong: Stop trying to make Temple attacks about race
Updated: OCTOBER 26, 2016 — 10:49 PM EDT
Temple officials have promised to beef up security after a recent attack involving teens.
by Jenice Armstrong, Daily News Columnist @JeniceArmstrong
The TEMPLE attacks were about troublemaking teens - not race.
The youngsters who jumped those college students as they walked to campus Friday night are delinquents who need to be put in check before it's too late.
They were nothing but miscreants who took out their aggression and misdirected rage on random passersby. Why? Because they felt like wilding out that night. They were out to create chaos, so they did.
So, don't talk to me about gentrification in North Philly.
Don't talk to me about poverty.
Don't talk to me about race relations.
Those are whole other conversations and not what these attacks were about.
No one was safe from these teens that night. Not the six Temple students who were injured. Not the Temple police officer knocked from her bicycle by a 15-year-old. Not even a police horse. Anyone could have gotten caught up in that madness.

“If a white CCW shoots a black guy, you can depend on Obama’s DOJ to become involved. Likewise if Hillary becomes president.”
Then let them! I will not end my life by letting some feral thug run over me because I was afraid of being called names. If one CCW holder had popped two or more of the “teens” he would be called names by the media, but the message would be sent to the “teens” that we’ve had enough and they need to get right or get shot. Sorry, I’m angry and it is reflecting in my posting. Enough is enough.
On the surface, she seems to be dodging the obvious racial motives of black mobs attacking white victims. What she is really saying (”Don’t talk to me about poverty. Don’t talk to me about gentrification in North Philly.”), is that attempts to excuse the attackers as Social Justice Warriors. She is saying that violent thugs are violent thugs — not defenders against racial oppression (which apparently includes white people fixing up the hood). This lady deserves respect, not condemnation.
It also refutes “No one needs a ‘high capacity’ magazine”.
Thanks for the heads up; I did so.
“wilding out..”
Not about race? Sorry Mr.Author, that term you used is very commonly associated with one in particular.
Has the term “wilding” ever been used for other “kinds” of “teens”?
EVERYTHING is racist and racial these days to liberals....except this. Okay.
There was another link below that bleeding-heart story that said “Police release video of the attack”, but by the time I hit the link, the video had been “removed by the user.”
Too damning, one assumes.
The most idiotic thing she said is that it’s not about race because black mobs attack black people, too. Truly pathetic.
