Meanwhile in the UK

Black Lives Matter UK campaigners blocked roads leading to London’s largest airport as part of a series of nationwide protests Friday.
Some transport routes in other British cities came to a standstill, with demonstrators chaining themselves together in Birmingham and Nottingham. More protests were planned in Manchester.

The UK-wide protests mark five years since 29-year-old black man Mark Duggan was shot and killed by police in north London. His death sparked riots across the capital and other British cities.
“In the UK, families have in some cases been waiting decades to find out what’s happened to their loved ones who have died in custody, or to get a straight answer—even where wrongdoing has been found to be by police officers,” Black Lives Matter UK spokesman Wail Qasim, 23, told CNN.
“So this demonstration comes after a decade-long struggle and it’s to highlight what’s happening.”

Starting around 8:20 a.m. (3:20 a.m. ET), several demonstrators began chaining themselves together and lying across the M4 motorway leading to Heathrow Airport beneath a banner reading: “This is a crisis.”
Ten people were arrested, said London’s Metropolitan Police.

Between 200 and 300 people gathered in Altab Ali Park in the London neighborhood of Whitechapel to hear calls for unbiased treatment for people of color.
Transit was not shut down. Police maintained a discreet presence in the park but several police vans were parked on nearby streets with reinforcements if necessary.
The park was named after a Bangladeshi man killed in a 1978 racially motivated killing.

damn, dawg

The union representing San Francisco police officers published a photograph of two dogs in its monthly newspaper that critics say belittles the Black Lives Matter movement and raises questions about the police force’s commitment to repairing its relationship with communities of color.

The picture, which appeared on the back page of the August issue of the San Francisco Police Officers Association Journal, shows a pair of Labrador retrievers, one black and one white. The black dog has a sign around its neck reading, “Black Labs Matter,” while the white dog sports a sign reading, “All Labs Matter.”

The photo, submitted by a union supporter, is accompanied by a plea from the union: “Maybe it’s time we all just sit back and tone down the rhetoric,” a reference to many months of heated national debate over police shootings and, recently, the targeted slayings of police officers.

The photo weighs in on a controversy that has flared on social media and has animated political debates. Some people have countered the phrase “Black lives matter” by saying, “All lives matter,” and they in turn have been accused of objecting to a simple request that black people be treated fairly.

People in the Black Lives Matter movement have sought to explain that the focus on black lives is appropriate because black people are disproportionately profiled and killed by police.

The dog photo “once again shows a severe lack of understanding,” said Sgt. Yulanda Williams, president of Officers for Justice, an organization within the San Francisco police force representing African American and other nonwhite officers. “It’s so inflammatory, and they still don’t get it. They still choose to inflame situations, and it’s just really insulting.”

Good. Anything that belittles this bunch of uppity racist shits is a good thing. The whole thing is inappropriate and poorly named. Because it isn’t #BlackLivesMatter. At best, assuming they are honest in their intentions (doubtful) it ought to be #EndPoliceViolence or something. Because black lives don’t matter to other blacks at all; they have abortions left and right, and they wound and kill each other constantly. How many thousand just this year so far in just Chicago? Please. It’s just the ones that get shot by cops because they didn’t heed the officer’s instructions (usually while committing some other crime)? And that’s a load of cobblers. The whole movement is a disingenuous attempt to lever PC to allow criminals to run rampant. Fuck that.

these lives don’t matter

Balloons and candles were strewn across the sidewalk after those attending a candlelight vigil in west Baltimore were forced to run for their lives.

“Here we are again investigating a senseless crime,” said Detective Donny Moses. “A heinous crime.”

Investigators say 20-30 people were gathered at the corner of North and Fulton avenues Monday evening to honor 24-year-old Jermaine Scofield, who was killed early Sunday morning. As the vigil was underway, someone in the crowd started firing.

“We’re trying to celebrate where one person lost his life, trying to pay him respects and someone maliciously and foolishly walked into the crowd and opened fire,” Moses said.

Five people were hit by the bullets, four of them women. The gunman got away.

Community members are disturbed by the constant violence.

“I see how things are happening in the neighborhood,” said Rev. Keith Bailey, Fulton Heights Community Association. “People are losing their lives over small, little things.”

Scofield was among three people killed early Sunday morning. [several more were shot or stabbed but lived] His mother begged for no retaliation.

Doreen Scofield said she has forgiven whoever killed Jermaine and told her family she wants no retaliation.

“It’s not going to bring my son back,” she said. “I just want to bury my son.”

She had a plea for those committing violent acts like the one that took her son:

“I’m tired. I’m human. You human. Just stop hurting people.”

147 or more killings so far this year, and all they can say about it is “well, it was worse last year at this point.” Wonderful.

Here’s an eye-opener [no, not really] from last week where almost all the victims have something in common.

There isn’t a woodpile tall enough

But don’t worry, YOU’RE PAYING FOR IT.  So prepare to pay more. Three times as much.

The federal subsidy known as the “Obamaphone” or “Obamanet” program could be losing nearly $500 million to fraud annually, according to a top Republican on the Federal Communications Commission.

Commissioner Ajit Pai made the accusation Wednesday in letter to the Universal Service Administrative Company, referring to the FCC’s Universal Service Fund, which provides a monthly $9.95 subsidy for telecom service to low-income consumers.

The subsidy is limited to one per “independent economic household,” or IEH, but telecom companies have the ability to override that restriction if applicants check a box stating they represent a separate household, even if they have the same address.

...

Pai wrote that data obtained by the FCC last month revealed carriers had enrolled nearly 4.3 million subscribers using the IEH override process between October 2014-April 2016, or 35.5 percent of total subscribers for the period. “It is alarming that over one-third of subscribers — costing taxpayers almost half a billion dollars a year — were registered through an IEH override.

...

The program was originally established to help low-income consumers in rural areas obtain access to 911 services. It was expanded to include cellular devices in more recent years, and expanded in March to include Internet service.

Right. Free cell phones for all my peoples. And now, free internet. And not some lame slappy internet. Broadband baby, the good shit.

Not that this is anything new, nor is it even the full story or even the real number of the cheaters. This is just the number of NEW cheaters, more than a third of all new signees. Old cheaters are still in the system ...

Last year [2011], a federal program paid out $1.6 billion to cover free cell phones and the monthly bills of 12.5 million wireless accounts. The program, overseen by the FCC and intended to help low-income Americans, is popular for obvious reasons, with participation rising steeply since 2008, when the government paid $772 million for phones and monthly bills. But observers complain that the program suffers from poor oversight, in which phones go to people who don’t qualify, and hundreds of thousands of those who do qualify have more than one phone.
...
an FCC audit of the program last year showed that many participants in the program were taking more than their fair share. According to Businessweek:

269,000 wireless Lifeline subscribers were receiving free phones and monthly service from two or more carriers.

Right. All of those accounts got squashed. But that was 4 years ago. How many million more accounts are there? 12.5 million in February 2012, about 12 million new ones from late 2014 to now, figure in at least 8 million new accounts from 2012 to 2014? That’s 33 million phones. More than one person in ten has free telephone service, courtesy of the government, aka your wallet? What the flippity fluck? Who the frick is paying for all this ??????????

Oh, you are. I am. And it’s about to get worse. All the little gibbs grabbers just got a service increase. Nice fat internet. With wi-fi I’m sure. So free porn and online games! Now let’s give them top end big screen name brand “phablets” so they don’t feel “out Jonesed” by the Joneses who actually work for a living and spend $800 hard earned dollars on a shit-hot smart phone (pretty stupid if you ask me, but I’m a Luddite, and it’s their money so it ain’t my business).

BOHICA, BOHICA ...

FCC commissioner: Expect a broadband Internet tax

The federal government cannot afford the subsidies being poured into telecommunication services, unless it’s planning to impose a new tax on broadband Internet Service, a member of the Federal Communications Commission said on Wednesday.

“It’s telling that the agency is already spending money in anticipation of getting a greater amount of revenue from the Universal Service Fund,” FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai told a Senate panel.

“We boosted the E-Rate budget by $1.5 billion per year last year. By all accounts, next month we’re going to expand the Lifeline program to broadband without any meaningful budget or cap. That money is already being spent, and it has to come from somewhere. I would respectfully submit to you that ultimately, it’s going to be in the form of a broadband tax,” Pai added.

another log in the woodpile

New Orleans Pelicans player Bryce Dejean-Jones was shot to death early Saturday in Dallas, with his agent saying it happened because the player mistakenly entered the wrong apartment.
A Dallas resident told police he heard someone enter his apartment by kicking open the front door, police spokesman DeMarquis Black said in a statement. The resident said “he called out to the individual, but was not answered,” and when the resident’s bedroom door was kicked open, the resident fired his gun, police said

Dejean-Jones collapsed in the breezeway, police said. He was transported to a local hospital, where he died from his injuries, Black said.
The basketball player’s agent, Scott Nichols, said Dejean-Jones was in Dallas to visit his girlfriend for his daughter’s first birthday.
This was the first time Dejean-Jones visited her new apartment, Nichols said. Later that night Dejean-Jones came back to the apartment complex but went to the wrong unit on the third floor, just below his girlfriend’s fourth-floor apartment, Nichols said.

Sure, right, because kicking open the front door, and then kicking down the bedroom door is the preferred method for paying a visit to your brood-sow to celebrate your child’s birthday.

yesterday’s woodpile

Double Arrest Over Crab Legs Battle

A man and a woman were arrested on Saturday after a dispute over crab legs at a Connecticut restaurant turned physical.

Fox 61 reported police were called to Royal Buffet in Manchester at around 8 p.m. Saturday after a 21-year-old man was punched in the face.

Police said the victim’s mother used pepper spray on his assailants, but not before her son suffered a cut lip and a broken front tooth. It was not immediately clear what exactly caused the dispute.

Police arrested Clifford Knight, 45, and Latoya Knight, 38. Clifford Knight was charged with third-degree assault and disorderly conduct and released on $5,000 bail. Latoya Knight was charged with disorderly conduct and threatening and was released on $2,500 bail. Both are due in court April 14.

Neither the victim nor the victim’s mother will face charges over the incident. Investigators determined the mother used pepper spray in self-defense.

This is just one of the reasons I willl never go to a Golden Corral.

it always has to be about race for some. and if it isn’t, they will make it so

Much of this sort of insanity it now occurs to me, has been learned before young folks ever got to college, and were taught in grade school by the very authorities who make decisions and think this way by the time those kids arrive here. While story originates in the USA at a private college in Maine, the very same is also taking place on the very same topic here in the UK.
There really is, to quote various conservative thinkers, “a mood of censorious political correctness sweeping university campuses”.
What?  Are they just waking up now?  This kind of thinking while getting worse it must be said, has been going on for quite some time.

SOMBREROS HAD RACIST OVERTONES ?

You betcha.  In this brave new world, even the Mexican hat is racist when worn by an Anglo.

An American college in Maine is offering “counseling” to those students who may have been “injured and affected” by classmates who wore small sombrero hats to a tequila themed birthday party.

What happened was, photos of party goers ended up as these things are want to do, on social media.  College authorities immediately upon being made aware of this latest outrage against the common good, sent out emails notifying students about an “investigation” into a possible “act of ethnic stereotyping”.
And .... while that was happening in the USA, not to be outdone by the colonists, Brit college authorities followed suit on the very same issue.
So what else might cause offense? 
Well ... there’s always something ppl can find to build a cause around. Like this, from March of 2015.

University Bans Hoop Skirts Because of Racist overtones
By Jason W. Stevens

The issue for the university is not whether the hoop skirt is racist. That question had nothing to do with their decision, and was never considered. What was most important when weighing the ban was whether people perceive the hoop shirt as racist, which is a different issue entirely.
The self-professed object here is to keep students from feeling “uncomfortable.”

This means that the appearance of anything potentially, or even remotely, offensive can and will be banned. It seems that no one on or off campus ever complained about the hoop skirt in the first place. The university took preemptive measures to ban the thing before anyone actually complained, because it was thought that someone might complain at some point in the future.

I don’t care about the hoop skirt.
And I really don’t care that it was banned from campus.
But what I do care about is the reason WHY it was banned, because the same logic might be used to ban just about everything.

The University of Georgia’s Student Affairs officials met with fraternity and sorority leaders this week to discuss the perceptions of Greek life after a video surfaced from a Sigma Alpha Epsilon party at the University of Oklahoma that featured members chanting about lynching and exclusion of black students from the fraternity, Jacksonville.com reports. …

UGa officials met with members of the university’s chapter of SAE and Kappa Alpha, both of which have deep ties to the Old South. Students and administrators discussed appropriate attire for Kappa Alpha’s “Old South Week” and SAE’s “Magnolia Ball,” events at which students have been known to dress in costumes that include hoop skirts and other period wear, according to the new site.

“The discussion was about more than dress, but about how to present yourself, and dress was a part of that,” Victor Wilson, vice president for student affairs, told Jacksonville.com.
He said students decided for themselves that hoop skirts send the wrong message.
Ashley Merkel, president of the student Panhellenic Council, issued an emailed statement Tuesday with Alex Bosse, Interfraternity Council president.

“A standard aspect of event planning for Greek organizations is that costuming for events must be evaluated as to its appropriateness,” the email read. “The student leadership, staff and advisors agree that Antebellum hoop skirts are not appropriate in the context of some events. We will continue to review costuming and themes for future events to ensure their appropriateness for our organizations.” …

Wilson believes the hoop skirt is far more dangerous than a historical fashion, and likened the Old South attire to Confederate solider uniforms that were worn by fraternity members on special occasions until around 2006, when the college ended that tradition.

“We’ve made a lot of progress,” Wilson said. “This is just one more step. We applaud our students for being courageous and making a tough call.”

The following is impossibly long which does not mean it has no value.
So for those with a lot of patience and want to read for a week, I offer this link.

A LONG READ

Here’s a newer race issue.

I never heard a Brit use the expression “Spic and Span” but apparently the term was used in a promotion to clean up the country and some dim light saw the word SPIC and immediately tied it to a slur used against Mexicans and ppl from South and Central America and the Caribbean.  I had always accepted that it only applied to Mexicans, as those are the folks most prominent where I’ve lived. And btw, I guess I have managed to live all these years without actually knowing how the word ‘spic’ was actually spelled.  Really.  All I recall was Spic and Span laundry powder. I never actually saw the word in print any other way. Anytime I ever saw it used away from the laundry product, it was always spelled spic. Never spick. But apparently the Brits do spell it with a ‘k’ and so any other way can only be, a racist slur.

Here’s part of the current outrage and what has some Brit knickers in a twist. 

‘Clean For The Queen’ Campaign Poster Confuses ‘Spic’, A Racial Slur, With ‘Spick’

· Posters and T-shirt used the spelling ‘spic’ instead of ‘spick’
· It is used in the US as an offensive term for Hispanic people
· Clean For The Queen is backed by MPs including David Cameron
· Was created to mark Queen’s 90th by cleaning rubbish blighting our towns

It is a wholesome campaign to clean up Britain for the Queen’s birthday – but last night a race row erupted over an unfortunate gaffe.
Posters and T-shirts designed to advertise this weekend’s Clean For The Queen drive mistakenly included a racist slur.
They were meant to show the slogan ‘Spick And Span Ma’am’ but instead used the spelling ‘spic’ – used in the US as an offensive term for Hispanic people.
Twitter users noticed the error last week. One asked: ‘Are you aware you’ve put a racist term on your asinine posters? You’re missing a k.’
Sam Taylor, editor of The Lady, said: ‘If they’re going to go around cleaning up the country they should start by cleaning up their language. It’s an unfortunate mistake and whether or not people are offended, they’ve used the wrong word.
‘I wouldn’t suggest they put it on a commemorative tea towel.’

SPIC AND SPAN CAUSES UPROAR

Sneaker Riot

Security closes whole mall. Shoe shop around the corner absorbs human tidal wave, sells out quickly.

Black Friday has been over for months, but you would never know it if you went to Eastland Center in Harper Woods on Saturday morning. [Black Friday? Hey, is’n dat a raycis remark?]

The mall was forced to close after rowdy crowds piled in for a chance to buy the newly-released Air Jordan Retro 12 “Vivid Pink” sneakers.

According to the Detroit Free Press, the mall opened at 8 a.m. and quickly closed after the crowd rushed the gate and broke a lock. Police got control of the situation and tried to open again at 10 a.m., only to see the same result.

“Both times, it was shut down by the police for public safety — all over a tennis shoe,” general manager William McClure told the Free Press. “It’s frustrating. It got unruly, the police shut it down.”

There were no reported injuries. The Kids Footlocker location selling the girls shoes, which have a retail price of $140, stopped selling the sneakers on Saturday due to the crowd’s behavior.

A $140 pair of sneakers, this week’s must have fashion accessory for young ladies on generational welfare in a city so broken they can’t even make clean water.

Erica Bailey, 39, of Detroit, was one of the few lucky buyers who was able to buy the Jordan Retro 12 shoe today at Eastland.  She had been at the mall since midnight, waiting for Kids Foot Locker to open at 8 a.m. When the store shut its doors after the crowd got unruly, Bailey went around the corner to Champs, and waited in line until just after noon. By 12:30 p.m., she had her pink and white tennis shoes.

“I just got my shoe!” Bailey said, flashing a big smile. “I’ve been here since 12:30 in the morning, all night long I stood outside the door.”

Bailey was upset at the unruly customers who made for a longer day than necessary, she said. But it was worth it.

“They’re for my granddaughter!” she said, smiling.

Erica B and her 23s



PS - Did you catch that? Did you see the size of the sneaks she bought? The woman is 39 and has a granddaughter big enough to wear what look like girl’s size 4 shoes. So the kid is probably 10 or so?

PPS - And if this isn’t enough, in 2 weeks the guy’s version, in French Blue, comes out.

PPPS - You didn’t think this was all going to end in smiles did you? This kind of marketing comes with a target audience that is a REAL target audience. As in, you knew this part was coming ...

This Weekend’s Air Jordan Releases Lead to Two Men Getting Shot

Two people were shot Saturday morning outside of Brooklyn Center Foot Locker where people were lined up waiting to cop the Air Jordan 2 “Wing It” and the Girls Air Jordan 12.

According to CBS Minnesota, dozens of people were lined up outsole the store waiting to scoop up the latest Air Jordan releases when multiple shots were fired. The officers that arrived to the scene found the victims lying on the ground. The two injured males were taken to the North Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries and are both expected to make a full recover.

As of right now the Police have yet to find the shooter or shooters as they are still searching.

So What? She Was Right

  #BlacksBeingUppity   #BlackLivesMatter confronts Hillary at a private fundraiser. Wants an apology over her labeling a group of black thugs - lifeless, stone cold criminal killers with rap sheet miles long by their teen years, who commit violent crimes and felonies at a truly frightening rate - labeling them as “super-predators” TWENTY YEARS AGO.

God almighty, I can’t wait for niggatime to be over. I have simply had it the fuck up to HERE and then some.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Black voters are the linchpin of Hillary Clinton’s strategy for winning the South Carolina Democratic presidential primary, and as a result, her campaign has put racial justice issues at the forefront of her agenda. But at an event on Wednesday night, Clinton was vocally confronted by an activist questioning her past support for policies that had a disproportionately negative effect on African Americans.

Uh huh, I saw dat. Ritin bout blax, usin the word “linchpin”. Linchin? Tawk bout usin code words. What next, “hang our problems out to air”? Raycis!!

Ashley Williams, a 23-year-old activist from Charlotte, interrupted Clinton during a private fundraiser in Charleston on Wednesday night. Williams stood and demanded an apology from Clinton for the high incarceration rate for black Americans, and confronted her with the words of a speech Clinton delivered 20 years ago voicing support for the now-debunked theory of “super-predators.”

Course, maybe if blacks weren’t committing 80% of the crime and “keepin it real” by living as lawlessly as they can on purpose, then just maybe they wouldn’t be arrested so much. It’s all very basic: don’t walk around with pockets full of drugs; if you have a car, keep it in decent condition with the proper papers, pay your bills, and don’t live a life of roadhouse criminality. Try and gain a little bit of emotional maturity; arson, rioting, rape and barbaric murder aren’t justified because someone disagreed with you today. Basic stuff. Seems to me that everyone I know lives this way, and I’m pretty sure that no one I have ever known has gone to jail, and darn few of them ever even arrested.

Williams, who is from Charlotte, North Carolina, said she was motivated to protest because policies during President Bill Clinton’s administration led to an increase in mass incarceration that mostly struck black communities. She pointed to the three-strike federal laws, the elimination of rehabilitative programs and an emphasis on prison construction that were part of the Clinton legacy on crime.

Clinton has distanced herself from these policies and recently issued a detailed agenda on racial justice. But Williams wants more.

“Hillary Clinton has a pattern of throwing the Black community under the bus when it serves her politically,” Williams said in a statement before the event. “She called our boys ‘super-predators’ in ’96, then she race-baited when running against Obama in ‘08, now she’s a lifelong civil rights activist. I just want to know which Hillary is running for President, the one from ’96, ’08, or the new Hillary?”

The Clinton campaign didn’t immediately return a request for comment.

The answer to that last question is “whichever one you vote for”.

Nowhere To Run, Nowhere To Hide

I’d heard about this in the digital wind some time ago, but this is the first article I’ve seen where it’s spelled out in detail.

To be blunt: IMO the government considers whites to be the enemy, and is hell-bent on destroying white culture, white civilization, and even white enclaves. White flight? Not anymore. The government digs into it’s massive database and finds the areas where all the white folks have moved to. The nice towns with no crime, happy people, well cared for yards and cars, places where folks sometimes don’t even lock their doors. And then they use an agent to buy up a bunch of houses here and there and act as landlords - not enclaves, but a good number of homes spread around - and then they move in the feral urban breeders and all their illegitimate offspring, giving them huge rent subsidies and more kinds of aid and assistance than you could even dream of. Like I wrote the other day, if you’ve got EBT the government will pay to have your cat fixed.

I guess the idea in the Liberal’s mind is that the new environment will (ahem) civilize them, but you and I know it works the other way around. Let one rat find a way in to the corn silo, and others will follow. And pretty soon you have no corn, but a million very fat rats. And now it’s your job to feed them. There’s an old old raycis saying about you can takie someone out of the jungle ...

This is a long article, and it is written from a Left perspective, trying hard to focus on the good intentions. But just read between the lines; eg Richardson’s story about how at 22 the government moved her out of the ghetto and into a suburban townhouse. Nice, right? But then she had her third child, so the gov had to get her a bigger place. So now she has a 4 bedroom house and a yard. And still no husband. And is going to school on your dime, working her way up to a Master’s degree in some silly discipline that will all but guarantee her a government job for life.

But the real kicker is that this has been going on for years. And not just in Baltimore. Heck, some builders just built a block of apartments/condos down at the end of our street after decades of haggling with the township. And we hear that 6 of the 24 units are going to be low income housing. And that’s all that anybody here talks about. We don’t want it. None of us. Even the professionals who happen to be non-white don’t want it. Property values are tenuous enough.

And the government has been doing this all in secret. Hmm, sounds a lot like the UK’s secret Browning Of England program from a few years ago, doesn’t it? All hush-hush until the lid came off, then it was all puffed up self righteousness about Diversity and Political Correctness. And now the UK is going to hell, straight down with no brakes.

This is the link.

Hill’s family is among nearly 10,000 black women and children who have moved into overwhelmingly white, prosperous suburbs through a court-ordered relocation program designed to combat the intense inner-city segregation and poverty forged by decades of discrimination.

That relocation program — one of the nation’s largest — has been discreetly rolled out to avoid the political and community opposition that routinely arises to defeat proposals for building subsidized housing in Baltimore’s suburbs. Hill’s Cockeysville townhouse, for example, was purchased by the city through a nonprofit organization based in the suburbs, with little notice to elected Baltimore County officials or the public.

“We did it very much under the radar,” Amy Wilkinson, fair housing director for the Housing Authority of Baltimore City, said of the home purchases. “We met very early on with the county executives. They understood we had to do it. Their request was to make sure [the homes] are really scattered and make sure we do it quietly.”

Discrimination? I wonder. But it sure seems like it’s time once again to punish Whitey.

While local officials in the Baltimore area — one of the most segregated in the nation — have ramped up collaborative efforts to meet federal fair-housing standards, they concede that more needs to be done to provide more affordable homes in prosperous neighborhoods. The need is obvious: More than 100,000 people are on waiting lists for subsidized housing in the region, with Baltimore bearing the biggest burden.
...
Nearly 3,100 participating families, headed almost entirely by single black mothers, have relocated with special subsidies that are designed for high suburban rents; about 1,300 other families will join them over the next three years. Nearly 50 families, including Hill’s, have moved into houses owned by the city housing authority in prosperous county communities; 110 more will soon move to houses in strong city neighborhoods.

Participants in the mobility program receive counseling and other advice on issues ranging from household budgeting to clothing. And despite the large number of families who have moved, the fears most commonly expressed by opponents — rising crime, plummeting property values — have not materialized, research shows.

You just wait. Now that the word is out, the real estate market is about to take a bullet between the eyes. And once the numbers of “refugees” hits a certain small percent, then I absolutely guarantee you that the rest of the jungle behavior will follow.

In 2005, at age 22, Richardson found herself sleeping in her mother’s basement in a house in Southwest Baltimore. Her first two sons, ages 3 and 5, slept upstairs with four other relatives. The cramped confines, dampened with every rain, provided a wake-up call: “It was time for me to get my own place,” she recalled.

Richardson and her children are one of about 3,100 families who have moved through the highly selective mobility program run by the Baltimore Regional Housing Partnership, a nonprofit established out of the Thompson settlement in 2012. It resettles participants in so-called “opportunity areas” — communities with low levels of subsidized housing, poverty and minorities; most have moved to Baltimore and Howard counties.
...
Still, when Richardson moved to Laurel under the mobility program, her lingering connections to Baltimore led to problems. Her sons were enrolled in day care in the city, she attended classes at Baltimore City Community College and continued to see her city doctor.

When her car broke down, so did her life. “It takes two hours by bus to get from Laurel to Baltimore,” she said. “It was a nightmare.”

She stayed in Laurel, though she was desperate to move back to the city after her third son was born and space got tight in the townhouse. “My mom wouldn’t let me,” she said. “She said, ‘You’re not coming back here.’”

When Richardson moved to a larger home in Columbia, she landed on a street framed by tall trees and broad yards. Her three-bedroom single family house backs up to woods with squirrels and rabbits.

The program also positioned Richardson for a job that will eventually allow her to give up the government rent subsidy. She got her GED and a bachelor’s degree thanks to her ability to be a stay-at-home mom.

Richardson is now working on a master’s degree in public health at the University of Maryland, College Park. She says her personal goals are clear: “Go to college, get married, get the house and the white picket fence.

“But I’m working backwards. Had the kids first, got the house through this program, and am now going to college.”

I’m keeping my fingers crossed, thanks all the same. The point is, your own government is doing this to you. Free association, like every other law and right, works only one way. And it ain’t your way.

Another “Oh not again”

A recent Kean [NJ] graduate has been charged with being responsible for a series of tweets threatening black students at the school two weeks ago, acting Union County Prosecutor Grace H. Park announced Tuesday.

Kayla-Simone McKelvey, 24, of Union – a black alum who graduated in May – was charged by summons with third-degree creating a false public alarm.

Park said an investigation by the Union County Prosecutor’s Office’s Special Prosecutions Unit and Kean University police found that McKelvey, a self-proclaimed activist, participated in a student rally to raise awareness of racism on college campuses on Nov. 17, but left midway through and walked to a computer station in a university library.

Once there, McKelvey allegedly created an anonymous Twitter account – @keanuagainstblk – and began posting threats of violence against black Kean students.

The first message around 10 p.m. said “kean university twitter against blacks is for everyone who hates blacks people” and a tweet about there being a bomb on the campus, and then continued with several other tweets about shooting black students at the university.

i will kill every black male and female at kean university
— kean university (@keanuagainstblk) November 18, 2015

After making the posts, McKelvey returned to the rally and attempted to spread awareness of the threats, authorities said.

Circular logic at work. We have to have a rally against racism because of all these threats against blacks. So here are some threats against blacks. See, we have to have a rally!! And get the professional race baiters to call for everyone’s resignation!!

I hope they throw the book at this girl. “ third-degree creating a false public alarm” doesn’t sound anywhere significant enough. Especially if she implied/threatened that a bomb was in place. That’s got to be a felony.

TNB: The Crowd Turns As Usual

MADISON, Wis. - A Madison police officer was confronted by a crowd and punched after a street fight on Prairie Road Wednesday night, according to a release from Madison police.

The officer stopped in the area of Prairie Road and Jacobs Way around 6:20 p.m. after spotting a large number of people in the street. He said that as he approached he saw a woman punch a man in the face, and he could see that the woman had a can of pepper spray.

The officer said that as he went to arrest the woman he was surrounded by a crowd that was voicing anti-police sentiments, including “We need to start killing these officers.”

Police said the woman’s daughter was grabbing the officer while trying to free her mother. The officer said he tried to diffuse the situation by explaining to the crowd that the woman had just punched someone and was armed with pepper spray. Police said his words were ignored, and the struggle with the two people continued.

The older woman punched the officer in the face and grabbed him by the throat, according to the release.

The officer said he could see many in the crowd were recording the incident on their cellphones while some accused him of misconduct and using excessive force.

A witness told police he or she “felt the officer was in trouble” and said it appeared someone had gone for his gun.

The two women were arrested when more officers arrived.

“He demonstrated fantastic patience and restraint in dealing with these folks,” Madison Police Department Capt. Vic Wahl said. “He was able to literally get assaulted in the midst of a large crowd and still take these women into custody without causing any injuries to anyone.”

Police said Latonya B. James, 40, of Madison, threatened many times to kill the officer while on her way to jail. She was arrested on suspicion of battery to a law enforcement officer, possession of pepper spray, disorderly conduct and resisting.

Nanyamka N. James, 20, of Madison was arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct, resisting and on a parole hold.

No word on what worthless shiny trinket Ook ook and Lacumstainonya were trying to kill each other over



Frankly I think it’s a miracle that any cop in the country is willing to stop and try to help these animals. Especially in a crowd, which you know is going to turn on you. Better call in for massive backup before you even stop the patrol car.

Extra Value Deal: Two For A Dollar

A shouting match over a cheap umbrella ignited a deadly reign of terror on a Harlem street corner.

One man was killed and his girlfriend critically injured Friday morning when a breakfast brawl between two feuding couples exploded into a savage knife-stabbing frenzy, cops said.

“There was blood everywhere,” said an eyewitness to the carnage that occurred outside the McDonald’s at 125th St. and Lexington Ave. around 8:10 a.m. Minutes earlier, the warring twosomes were jawing about the ownership of the flimsy-looking umbrella.

A horrifying video obtained by the Daily News captured a man in army fatigues, a huge curved knife in his right hand, plunging the blade three times into the back of an unsuspecting woman.

The victim was wrestling with her attacker’s girlfriend, each one clutching and twisting one end of the umbrella in a bizarre tug of war, when she was stabbed from behind on the busy street.

The man wielding the deadly blade looked “like he had just come back from a safari,” and carved the woman up quickly, said an eyewitness.

Nobody stepped in to break up the street fight, with spectators instead intently watching it or milling around once it ended.

Jesus Santiago, 46, and his girlfriend Monica Hernandez, 36, were arrested, although no charges were immediately filed.

“A fight over an umbrella,” said community activist Jorge Senquis, 46, who watched the wild brawl. “Two women started fighting, and a guy comes in and stabs the guy and the girl. In that moment, it took everybody by surprise.”

Nancy Estevez, 46, was rushed to Harlem Hospital in critical condition with multiple stab wounds to her torso. The unidentified dead man, who was apparently armed with a box cutter, died at the same hospital.

The festering feud spilled onto the sidewalk and escalated once they were outside the restaurant. A second short video of the confrontation showed the two men wrestling on the sidewalk, with Santiago lying on his back before the other man runs away.
...
East Harlem barber Carlos Rodriguez, 30, said the neighborhood could use more cops. “That’s crazy,” he said about the fatal attack on the busy thoroughfare. “People are always getting hurt. The NYPD needs to have more security around here.”

TNB: Seven shot, three dead after Rochester NY basketball game

Because #BasketballMatters

3 dead, 4 injured in Rochester, N.Y., drive-by shooting

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Three people are dead after seven people were shot after a basketball game at a Rochester Boys and Girls Club late Wednesday night.

“A car drove by and at least one of the occupants in the car fired shots from the car into the crowd that had gathered after a basketball game at the Boys and Girls Club,” said Rochester Police Chief Michael Ciminelli.

Police responded to the scene on Genesee Street at 11:19 p.m. after receiving multiple 911 calls.

Three people killed in a drive-by shooting outside the Boys and Girls Club on Genesee Street Wednesday night have been identified.

Jonah Barley, Raekwon Manigault and Johnny Johnson were fatally shot, according to sources.

Four others were wounded in the attack after a basketball game in the parking lot of the club at 500 Genesee St.

Ciminelli said that there was no problem at the Boys and Girls Club. The problem did not seem to stem from the basketball game, he said. “It is still subject to change,” he said.

The four injured are males, aged 20 to 29. Medical personnel didn’t believe that any of their wounds appear to be life-threatening, said Capt. Michael Callari of the police department. They were all taken to local hospitals.

neighborhood ladies upset with the endless senseless violence

Rochester NY never made much sense to me. It’s in the middle of the nearly empty zone in western NY, in the middle of farms and forests, along the south shore of Lake Ontario. And suddenly you’re in the ghetto. A really bad ghetto. The murder capital of New York State. How the heck did one of these crash land way the heck out here?? This is Rochester - the land of endless cold. It’s below freezing for at least 4 months a year. It snows like mad too, worse than even Buffalo. And then you drive up out of the pit, back on the endless empty highway to Buffalo, and you wonder if what you just saw was even real.

3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
