Remembering when Blacks complained Crime Crackdown "Project Exile" in Richmond, VA was effective because it "affected [blacks] almost exclusively"

No matter what we do in terms of policies that will actually help make the black community safer, they will always cry "racism" when these sane efforts target only the black individuals who are collectively committing violent crimes against primarily black people. 


There's nothing we can do, and in the end, there's nothing we should do except create safeguards to protect our civilization from the consequences of unrestrained blackness. 


Take Richmond, Virginia. In 1940, the city was roughly 80 percent white, but there were 11 times as many homicides committed by blacks as white people
Project Exile worked, because it exclusively targeted the people committing violent gun crime... as it so happened in Richmond, VA, those people were exclusively black


In the 1990s, Richmond - almost exclusively courtesy of blacks - was one of America's most violent cities. Ultimately this gave birth to the awesomely named Project Exile, which shifted the prosecution of illegal gun possession to federal courts where mandatory minimum sentences existed (no plea bargains or jury nullification possible). 


But Project Exile was too effective. [VA. CRIME CRACKDOWN CALLED RACIST, COSTLY\ PROJECT EXILE IS GETTING FELONS OFF THE STREET, BUT SOME QUESTION THE PROGRAM'S CONSTITUTIONALITY AND EXPENSE, Associated Press, 5-30-1999]:



Project Exile is getting felons off the street, but some question the program's constitutionality and expense. Police, prosecutors and politicians love Project Exile. 
The joint federal-local crackdown on criminals who carry guns has been given much of the credit for reducing Richmond's once-soaring murder rate by 32 percent in the last year measured, 1997-98.Project Exile has shipped off hundreds of violent offenders to serve long terms in faraway federal prisons. President Clinton, impressed by the statistics, recently held it up as a national model for fighting gun violence. 
What could be wrong with a program like this? 
Two big things, critics say. 
For one, it is inherently racist, according to local defense attorneys. Because it targets city violence, city suspects - usually black - end up facing federal charges while suspects from outlying counties - usually white - face only state prosecution for the same crimes. 
Second, it floods federal courts with small-time local crime, the region's federal judges say. One went so far as to write Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist to criticize Project Exile as a pricey federal power grab. 
``Not only does this do violence to the concepts of federalism, the cost to national taxpayers is at least three times more' than it would be to prosecute suspects normally, U.S. District Judge Richard Williams told Rehnquist. 
Project Exile was created in 1997 by Richmond authorities horrified by high crime. 
Annual murder totals for the city of 203,000 ranged from 112 to 160 in the mid-1990s, which consistently put Richmond among the 10 U.S. cities with the highest per-capital murder rates. 
Project Exile was born of the belief that crime would fall if local officials could stop criminals from carrying guns. 
It works this way: 
If a convicted felon is caught carrying a gun, local prosecutors drop the case and let federal prosecutors press charges instead. 
They can do that because gun possession by a felon is a federal as well as a state violation. Federal prosecutors can seek longer sentences than their state counterparts - typically a 10-year maximum instead of five. 
Federal authorities also have the option of sending convicts to distant federal prisons instead of nearby state facilities. 
But the biggest advantage to Project Exile, prosecutors say, is that federal courts are simply better at putting gun-toting criminals behind bars. 
Since 1997, federal authorities have completed 347 cases and gotten 304 convictions, says Stephen Miller, an assistant U.S. attorney based in Richmond. The average sentence was 4 years without parole. The average state sentence for felons caught with guns is about nine months and about 18 months for armed drug dealers, he said, citing a Justice Department report. 
Project Exile is no secret. Billboards, bus ads, radio spots and television commercials drive the point home to those who haven't heard. 
One of the TV spots begins with a picture of a night sky and the sound of gunfire. 
The words ``9 millimeter' flash on the screen, followed by more gunfire and ``.380 caliber.' 
The sound of chirping crickets is next with the question: ``Nice, isn't it?' 
Murders in Richmond dropped from 139 in 1997 to 94 in 1998, and Project Exile deserves some of the credit, say federal and state prosecutors. 
Opponents, however, question whether the benefits are worth the costs. David Baugh, a local defense attorney, asserts Project Exile is illegal because it affects black people almost exclusively. 
Richmond's three U.S. District judges agree in part. 
In a January opinion on motions for an ongoing Project Exile case, they said the program wasn't unconstitutional but did have a disproportionate impact on black people, who make up 55 percent of Richmond's population. 
Also, Baugh argues, the program makes black defendants face mostly white juries.
Ultimately, the effectiveness of Project Exile is still in question, because black leaders of the black community complained so much about how only violent black people were being ensnared in the program  and this was somehow racist (the program was attempted in Rochester, NY, but the same problem of only blacks being arrested popped up as in Richmond).


But again, if the bad guys are all black, that's who the police will target... [Law Leaves Criminals Gun-shy: Richmond's Bad Guys Don't Want To Carry, Chicago Tribune, March 26, 2000]:
Exile is not without its critics. 
Defense attorneys charge the program is racist because more than 90 percent of those arrested are black. The program's sponsors note that most of the victims saved from these criminals also are black. Richmond's population is about 60 percent black. 
"It isn't about profiling race. It's about profiling behavior," said Chief Oliver, who is black. "We're the police, we're the good guys. We've got to go after the bad guys, and many of the bad guys are black." 
So far the program has passed constitutional muster. A federal three-judge appeals panel, deciding the first Project Exile case, ruled in January that the program does not violate constitutional restrictions on federal interference in state matters. The case will be appealed to the Supreme Court next month.
Oliver would go even further, noting suspects in violent crime in Richmond were almost all black:


     Given the recent emphasis within law enforcement on the role that race plays in police tactics, it would seem inevitable, perhaps even natural, that the issue would come up with regard to Project Exile. In Richmond, noted Oliver, more than 90 percent of victims are African American, as are approximately 97 percent of suspects in violent crimes. But whatever program one points to, whether Project Exile, Blitz to Bloom or another, he said, the focus is on behavior. 

      “I know there are many historical and sociological reasons for having primarily young African American males involved in these crimes,” said Oliver. “But at the point that Exile meets them on the street, meets them with a gun on a corner selling drugs, or a gun robbery, or a gun involved in domestic violence of any sort, at that point it has nothing to do with race — it has a lot to do with behavior.” Oliver said he tells those who are critics of Exile that if they want to attack something, attack the reasons why young black men get involved in criminal activities. 

No matter what white people do to try and improve the black community, all we will get is in return is called "racist."

No matter how far we run to insulate ourselves from the consequences of blackness, Andrew Young's warning of what blacks would do to whites fleeing Atlanta - "where ever you go, we will follow" - echoes on the packed highways to next suburb.

Farther down the avenue, two households flew American flags, and a third was known for manufacturing “cheese,” a particularly potent form of powdered heroin. The Hollywood branch of the local library, long famous for its children’s room, was now also renowned for the time thugs stole $1,800 there from a Girl Scout who’d been collecting cookie funds. Finally we came to a tidy brick complex called Goodwill Village, where Barnes had recently chased down some gang members who’d been taking turns having sex with a new female recruit. As we closed in on midnight, Barnes’s beat began to feel like the setting of a David Lynch movie, where every backyard and cul-de-sac could double as a place to hide a body. Or like a suburban remake of Taxi Driver, with Barnes as the new Travis Bickle. “I’m like a zookeeper now,” said Bar

Who speaks for the African-amricans killed so relentlessly since the 1940's? Only PK and his lonely blog. Without this blog we would never know that so many African-americans have been killed over the years by a society that has such hatred for nothing but the color of their skin.

I have followed the case of this Jessica Chambers. This was a young white woman who was killed in Mississippi. Jessica was no racist. Her friends were mostly African-americans and she loved their dancing and joking around. She appreciated their love of life, their spontaneity and their freedom. Jessica never saw their skin color, never. She accepted and loved all her African-american friends. The police are trying to blame an innocent African-american teen by the name of Quinton Tellis for Jessica's death. There was an established relationship between the teen and Jessica Chambers. However, based on the character of Quinton Tellis, this horrible crime is just not something he was capable of. Many racists will argue that Jessica Chambers was set on fire. She was burned to death. And they will further argue that this is a very common attack by African-americans. No way Quinton Tellis burned this young woman alive.

Fortunately, some very sharp African-americans lawyers did a great presentation that proved Quinton Tellis was innocent. Quinton Tellis might have murdered a young Asian woman in New Orleans several months later. But there is no way he burned this Jessica Chambers alive because she rejected his requests for "some love".

Thankfully, PK provides a forum where we can question these witch hunts against innocent African-american teens. This terrible injustice against Quinton Tellis is eerily reminiscent of the awful lynching of Emmitt Till. Emmitt was an innocent African-american teen murdered in Richmond by white supremacists in the 1940's.

What these dumb white people haven't learned about blacks is the fact that black people enjoy killing each other. This has been proven over and over again for the last fifty years. Criminals in the ghetto are admired because they are the ones "bringing in the money". Butchering the fuck out of each other is called the "cost of doing business". They don't give a shit about each other. All that counts is bringing home the bacon.

A couple years ago a dindu done git kilt in Florida. The house owner blasted the fucker when he kicked in the back door. His two sisters done be crying for the TV camera and said "Just because he be breaking into da house is no reason to shoot him. HOW ELSE IS HE GONNA MAKE MONEY".

How many times have we seen some blubbering welfare mother crying about her dead spawn. "I din know dat he be inna gang and sheet".

When Deblobio ran for Mayor of New York City he said "If I am mayor I will see that a black man can walk through Central Park and not be searched by a cop." Take three guesses where the first muggings took place.

Blowing the shit out of each other is how blackie gets his kicks. If they didn't enjoy it they wouldn't do it. The criminal will always defend the criminal, even if he makes millions of dollars playing football. They are all in a private club for thugs only.

Meanwhile back at the ranch you have all these dumb white folks bending over backwards to help the poor oppressed savages in their LONG HARD STRUGGLE. On and on it goes.

People are fed up with having Section Ape and hordes of immigrants forced on them.  The time is ripe for not just "equal housing" but also "civil rights" laws to be overturned, and freedom of association brought back to the USofA.

We can do other things first.  We can ban rental housing.  We can stop taking HUD money.  But most of all, we must re-establish the right to have Communities of Choice.

until it is accepted that blacks are inherently more violent and commit more crimes, and that it is ok to have more of them arrested this will ALWAYS be the case. What a convenient loophole for them- behave like savages all you want, and then, when people call you on it scream they are targeting black people.

Study the introduction of negroids into a White society anywhere and the base dynamics are always the same. It's a physical reaction. Predictable. Like knowing a burning match will go out when plunged into water. Genetics and behaviors and reactions to behaviors. It's all so simple once you make that effort to "see".

Sadly, the endgame isn't going to be pleasant. We either watch our civilization die a death of a thousand cuts before our very eyes, or we take unpleasant actions to halt the decline and reverse it. Including negroids in that future is not an option. Nor moslems. Nor groid enablers.

So, what to do...?

When they ask for help with crime what they want is FREE STUFF delivered to them. They think the crime is due to poverty so bring them free stuff and high pay no-show do-nothing government jobs stapling paper together in a climate controlled office with no dress code or drug testing and they really think Detroit could become Malibu.

Arresting and punishing criminals is racism.

Remember they have an average IQ in the 80's.

Always bring up "Black Privilege" when discussing Negroes with Liberals.

When their mouths drop open, and they ask "What?". Explain that it is the privilege they have that allows them to exhibit colossal levels of dysfunction and extraordinary levels of crime, and then get to blame it all on another race and take zero responsibility.

Think about how true that is.

Also, when a Liberal recoils at your use of the word "Negro", say: "If it was good enough for JFK and Martin Luther King Jr, then it's good enough for me".

You win.

Yep, this very paragraph is why blacks and Whites can't coexist. Because our morals are on a different plane. They think breaking into someone's house is perfectly normal.

They don't have a conscience. I would wager that blacks are inherently more psychopathic than Whites. How else would they commit crimes and seemingly feel no remorse.

Avoid the groid. And most importantly, remain indifferent.

When held to even a basic standard, ANYTHING will disproportionately affect blacks in a negative way. Whether its education, health, building and zoning codes, or laws ranging from littering and jaywalking up to murder and rape.

These are things of, by and for white people. We created them and accept them as social norms because we WANT them. And having never created them, blacks resist them. And when forced to abide by them, you have the train wreck that is Africans in America.

Stay alert, stay alive.

And if you aren't following PK on twitter, your missing out.

For one, it is inherently racist, according to local defense attorneys. Because it targets city violence, city suspects - usually black - end up facing federal charges while suspects from outlying counties - usually white - face only state prosecution for the same crimes.

OK, so the program is "racist." Now why is that wrong? It's like saying a program is inherently "liberal" or "marxist" or "Rastafarian." It's slapping a label on something and expecting the emotive force of that label to be sufficient to discredit the object without having to make an argument.

Note the contradiction. We are told that race-is-just-a-construct(tm). If that is the case, then what difference does it make about the color-of-skin of the arrestees? But of course, when it comes to hustling YT, race suddenly becomes very real.

This case is one more example of how it is impossible to maintain civilized order in BRA.

As you may know, Emmett Till was a heroic young beautiful black African American who attempted to bring integration to a store in Richmond. But the unenlightened corporation which owned the store called in the Ku Klux Klan. A lynch mob with hundreds of night riders threw our heroic young activist into Richmond's Mississippi River, where he was killed by the sharks which swim freely in it. The sharks were brought to America during the slave trade to terrorize innocent beautiful black African Americans into working hard on the cotton plantations which created all the wealth in America.

I know this is true because I was told so by my university's program, "The Oceanology of Oppression: from Great White Sharks to White Supremacy."

Well Brian it might have been right here. I have mentioned the racial differences in schizophrenia here several times. I only learned of it by accident. I came across it while preparing a YouTube video a couple years ago. I was astounded. I consider myself reasonably well read and I try to keep up with current events but I had never heard this fact before.

Just this last week it happened again - but the other way around. A couple years ago I got into a long acrimonious exchange with some black readers on the web about Emmitt Till. It went on for weeks. I couldn't understand why the Till case was so famous. It happened a long time ago, before I was even born. Young Till had been messing with a white man's wife while he was away. The husband came home and was told - a probably embellished account - by the wife and he killed Till.

I don't approve of private vengeance but it isn't exactly unknown in the black community either. This weekend in Chicago or Baltimore or several other American cities there will be dozens (maybe hundreds) of killings of blacks. Almost all will be committed by other blacks and many of them will be the result of a dispute over some perceived offense to some woman. How many cases like that have there been since the Emmitt Till case in the forties? Many thousands I imagine.

But also last week reading the comments here I learned that Emmitt Till's father was hung by the Army for rape and murder. If I didn't read this blog I probably would never have learned that. A lot of facts about race issues seem to have been flushed down the memory hole.

When I was doing my expose video on the Tuskegee Airmen, I learned that no white men had been tried, convicted and hung for mutiny in the US Army. But there were many cases and very many mutineers among the blacks. It's all there in Wikipedia but you will never hear of it referenced in the media or in normal political discourse.

Even positive things about blacks seem to be suppressed. I wear glasses but a lot fewer blacks do. They have better eyes. Myopia is a only about half as common among blacks as it is among whites and East Asians. I imagine that in their efforts to paint all races as equal and the same under the skin someone decided to keep the superior eyesight of blacks quiet. Strange.

Blacks will always run to hide behind the color of their skin and scream racism when held to account for their crimes, misbehaviors and failures to live up to a first world standard of civilization. It's clear that they don't want that type of existence but would rather wallow in a dysfunctional, third world, low IQ "blacktopia" characterized by every dysfunction imaginable-which, of course, they then conveniently blame on everyone else once anyone notices the pathetic environments they create and they see an opportunity to start scamming/hustling for gibsmedats to allegedly deal with their self-created issues. Trying to stop any of it is "oppression and cultural insensitivity" aka trying to make them act white. Not wanting to be around any of it is "racism."

I have no problem with allowing blacks to live in whatever low manner that they choose in their own areas (unfunded by whitey!)and according to their own dysfunctional rules and behavioral norms. The problem is that they want to spread it everywhere into every community and demand that it be accepted and supported just because they're black. It's like having an obnoxious, arrogant, belligerent slob wanting to move into your house, wanting to trash the place and then throwing a fit when you refuse to allow it (or object) and then calling you a "slobbist" for not letting them have their way. The term "racist" means as much to me and affects me as much as the term "slobbist" would. I don't care. They can take all that manipulative verbal garbage and shove it.

Pat, I'm in the "eyeglass" business.

Myopia is multi-factorial but requires significant near focus time. Like...READING?

The human eye was never designed for reading. It is harmful, damaging, and unnatural. Who reads the most? Asians, then we Whites.

The other factors that cause myopia is lack of proper "nutrients". Our depleted soil, modified "foods", and then the processing, removes most, if not all, the nutrients from food. This causes insufficient nutrients to maintain the integrity of a "soft" globe. Thus,it can not grow nor maintain it's proper shape and undergoes shape-change due to the increase inter-ocular pressure from near accommodation (reading).

There was a post-grad researcher at the College of Optometry who was doing cutting edge research on this and CREATING myopia in monkeys based on this Theory/Hypothesis. He conveniently stopped doing the research and became the Dean of the College.

How do I know this? I was there.

My point? The negro doesn't read, thus no "stimulus" to cause significant Myopia.

So basically if black felons aren't caught possessing a gun they have nothing to worry about- but since asking blacks who are already on thin ice not to break the law even further is too much to ask we are left with RACISM and lots of it.

Couple of interesting stories in the (((W$J))).

Apparently, there is a move to consolidate the city of St. Louis with the rest of the county to create a “metro” government. One of the reasons is to provide a larger population base to dilute the exploding crime rates of the city which has been discouraging tourism and convention business.

A few articles back, someone here raised the question of what US troops were doing in Niger. A “conservative” Republican Senator James Inhoff said it was in our national security interest to be there to prevent African nations from becoming “failing states” that Islamic extremists could exploit.

The Florida story happened not to far from me, and would have been a much bigger story, but the home owner who shot him was a black woman. The woman had cameras in her house and saw him & his friend breaking in, she called the cops and drove home, but arrived before they did, while he was carrying her tv out of the house, she confronted him and he went after her so she blew him away with her legal conceal carry gun.

His sister was interviewed on the news that night saying the woman didn't need to shoot him and (direct quote because it's so ridiculous) "How else he gon' get money to buy clothes for skool?"
