Police: Racial Attack on Black Neighborhood (Chattanooga, Tennessee)
WTVC ^ | 7-9-2011 | Jessica Oh

For the neighbors at East Lake Courts who bore the brunt of what police call, a racial attack, the biggest shock is how blatantly the three suspected displayed racism.

Angela Lonise witnessed several men drive by several times in a white pick up truck around 3 a.m. Saturday morning. According to Chattanooga Police Spokesperson Jerri Weary, Kyle Montgomery, 21, Colton Partin, 21 and James Smiley, 27, threw fireworks at African Americans while yelling racial slurs like, "run N***** run." Police say the suspects admitted they were targeting black people.

"I thought all that racial stuff was over with and I didn't think we had to go through this stuff again," says Lonise.

Chastity Brook's says her window was broken when one of the firecrackers hit her window. She and her kids were sleeping when it happened. Montgomery, Partin and Smiley were caught shortly afterwards and each were charged with one count of Civil Rights Intimidation. No one was charged for vandalizing Brooks window. Weary says she doesn't know why. Newschannel 9 found out Smiley works for Hamilton County EMS.

"That's even worse, they're supposed to save lives, not mess other peoples lives up."

I don't know if this would strictly be termed a hate crime. Whatever it was, it sure was disgusting.

I hate to tell you Lonise, but I think this racial stuff is just getting started.

I hope they receive the FULL penalty of the law. The nation has come too and to many have suffered to have these punks set things back now.

I hope they all receive jail time and lots of it.

Meanwhile those three blacks who beat up a white man on a subway get to walk.

Well at least they didn’t throw fireworks at him. Apparently that’s jail time, and lots of it.

Really “Lonise”? You don’t read much, do you?

Oh NOW we can refer to this as a racial crime!

The flash mobs, they were off limits.

A thug’s a thug, whether he’s white or black. They all need to be punished appropriately.

These boys should be tossed into general population after their antics have explained to the other inmates.

That’d be justice for such blatant knuckle dragging stupidity.

Better be careful, Lonise. Comments like that are out of step with the Establishment.

Rather than being the instigators, white people should just wait until the blacks are the instigators, then unload on them. Of course, the white people will still be at fault, but hey.

Yes we have come quite a ways: “WPIX-TV ^ | July 18, 2011 | Mary Murphy
BRONX, NY (PIX11)— “I asked them to lower their voices and then they started in on me, ‘Shut the f-— up, white boy. We’ll beat the s—t out of you, cracker.’” Jason Fordell, 29, of the Bronx, said that was the first exchange he had with three black men and a Hispanic man on the #4 subway train near Grand Central early Sunday morning, and by the time the train got to Fordham Road, Fordell says he was being beaten and stomped by other passengers who were egging the original group on. “Eventually, half the car” joined in, Fordell told...

This is just the sort of thing the Marxists are hoping for. They want race wars and class warfare to divide the country.

Whites have waited for blacks to be instigators literally millions of times since the 1960s. And thousands of times they have unloaded on them.

It doesn't seem to be working.

People have been dividing themselves along tribal lines in violence long, long before Marxists.

“Chastity Brook's says her window was broken when one of the firecrackers hit her window. She and her kids were sleeping when it happened.”

Fireworks and racial slurs: BAD, EVIL

Gunshots and drug dealing: It's a Black Thang.

Then you should have been with me and my family when I got a flat tire just after mid-night on a Saturday in  Uniontown Alabama, Lonise.

Were the mobs that lynched Black Americans a few decades ago considered “flash mobs”? My father barely escaped a white mob that was lynching any Black person they saw. He escaped via a kindly white man who smuggled him out of town in the trunk of his car. Two wrongs do not make a right.
