Horrific Home Invasion by Five Blacks Males in North Marion County (Indianapolis) Proves One Thing: Hire George Zimmerman for Security

A few years ago, the Indy Star actually published an editorial [A caution on suspect descriptions, 3-24-2007] defending their policy of refusing to publish any information on suspects out of respect for racial sensitivities that might help readers “fall victim to a racial stereotype”:

The hero we deserve...

Does it really help to know that an assailant was, say, a 6-foot-2 blond, upper middle-age white male? Not really. Those guys are everywhere. I'm one of them. But at least when somebody of that description is mentioned, every one of the huge selection of men in my universe isn't thought of as a potential criminal. 

Now substitute a black male with black hair. All of a sudden all black men of that description are considered suspect. 

That's an injustice from my perspective and from the perspective of most other editors. Most Americans, when they think of crime, fall victim to a racial stereotype.Let's be honest. When black men commit crimes there is an unfair tendency to blame all black men. Not so with whites. 

Here's another truth: When The Star doesn't print a description of a black suspect alleged to have been involved in a crime, my phone will ring and my e-mails will pile up with messages that angrily accuse us of bowing to the evil forces of political correctness. 

When the authorities seek a white suspect and we don't print the description, I don't hear a peep. That speaks volumes, don't you think? 

That doesn't mean we should have a blanket prohibition against using suspect descriptions. After reviewing policies of several newspapers and discussing the matter with colleagues, including our public safety team, we decided on this policy: 

"We will publish descriptions of suspects from public officials or eyewitnesses only when the descriptions are distinct enough to differentiate the person from all but a narrow group of people. The description would likely include a combination of physical characteristics and other identifiers such as age, race, height, weight, hair color, haircut, tattoos, scars, clothing, jewelry, glasses, getaway cars, etc. The use of such descriptions is likely to be rare and must be approved by a senior editor."

It must be nice to live in a world devoid of reason, completely guided by an emotional reaction to every single instance where nature dares throw nurture to the wolves on a daily basis.

The editorial page writers of newspapers across America (especially those owned by Gannett – USA Today – like the Indy Star) look at nature come across their desk daily, and immediately realize almost every story confirms the stereotypes correctly held by millions upon millions of right-thinking people; right-thinking people demonized for noticing 2 + 2=4.

No matter how much we try and imagine race doesn’t play a role in our lives, the simple truth is we swim in the invisible waters of racial reality in every interaction we have at both a conscious and sub-conscious level.

And Indianapolis is drowning in an invisible deluge right now. A horrific home invasion by four or five black males (one of these black males, Alexander Dupree, is a career criminal) in an area that is obviously almost entirely white – more on this later – showcases how your typical deracinated white individual is drowning in a reality they refuse to understand is killing them.

It’s the type of home invasion a neighborhood watchman like George Zimmerman was on-guard against in Sanford, when he encountered Trayvon Martin; it’s the type of home invasion ADT would never, ever dare depict in one of their commercials [Three men arrested in Far Northside home invasion, IndyStar, 10-31-13]:

Indianapolis Metropolitan police have arrested three men in connection with the robbery of an East 79th Street home Tuesday and the sexual assault of a woman inside. 

Today’s arrests also appear to connect the men to a similar crime committed Oct. 24, when a group of men armed with guns tied up the owners of a home on North Spring Mill Road, ransacked their house and made off in one of the victims’ vehicles. Police say property found during the investigation that led to today’s arrests belonged to the North Spring Mill Road homeowners. 

Trey Spells, 18, was arrested and preliminarily charged with rape, criminal deviate conduct, robbery and criminal confinement, authorities said. He has not yet been processed at the Marion County Jail. 

Michael Pugh, 21, was arrested and preliminarily charged with serious violent felon in possession of a firearm. He is being held on an $80,000 bond. 

Earlier today, The Indianapolis Star reported that 23-year-old Alexander Dupree was arrested and preliminarily charged with rape, criminal deviate conduct, robbery and criminal confinement, according to a police report. He is being held on a $200,000 bond. 

Police say the investigation is ongoing. Earlier they said the attack in the 800 block of East 79th Street was carried out by as many as four or five men, who also shot a woman and stole three vehicles from the Far Northside home shortly before 7:30 a.m. Tuesday. 

The two women were sleeping at the time, a police dispatcher said. A woman in her 50s was shot in the leg and taken to St. Vincent Indianapolis Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. 

She and her husband, who is also in his 50s, were inside the two-story brick colonial with their daughter, who is in her 20s. The men forced their way inside the residence, police said, and at one point forced the women to drive to an ATM and withdraw money. 

Although the crime was initially reported as a robbery, the incident was later categorized in a police report as a rape.
 

Has one story ever so tragically captured a metaphor for the type of country white people find themselves living in 2013?

Now comes the story from the Indy Star that offers a few powerful hints as to the racial identity of the family attacked (shot and sexually assaulted) in a home invasion by four or five black males [Northern Marion County home invasions raise worries among neighborhood groups, Indy Star, 10-31-13]:

As police continue to investigate a string of violent home invasions in northern Marion County over the past several days, neighborhood groups are taking action. 

The violence started Oct. 24 when four young men armed with guns robbed a home in the 7000 block of North Spring Mill Road. Police say the homeowners were tied up while the men ransacked the house and made off in one of the victims’ vehicles. The victims also were assaulted and sustained minor injuries. 

Tuesday morning, about 3 miles away, four men broke into a house in the 800 block of East 79th Street in the Windcombe neighborhood. They shot one woman and assaulted another before fleeing in the victims’ three vehicles. 

Both incidents remain under investigation, and police will not publicly speculate as to whether the invasions are related. 

But local neighborhood association representatives say they are concerned about the rash of crime and are looking for ways to keep one another safe. 

“These last incidents were extremely brazen, and I think that’s what’s terrified people,” said Terry O’Brien, a Meridian Hills town councilman. Meridian Hills borders the site of the Oct. 24 incident and is close to the second. 

“Your heart goes out for the families that were affected, but it does put the fear of God in you when you think you can’t go in your backyard to rake leaves or leave your garage door open without something bad happening.” O’Brien said Meridian Hills is planning a meeting for its residents and has been consulting with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department and the town’s part-time police patrols. 

In the Windcombe neighborhood, the attitude is similar. Paul Forbes, president of the Windcombe Neighborhood Association, said he has contacted CrimeStoppers and officers at IMPD about how the neighborhood can best proceed after Tuesday’s home invasion. 

“We’re keeping everybody abreast of everything we know,” Forbes said, adding that he hopes to hold a meeting with residents and police officers in December.“I’ve been here 23 years,” he said. “It’s outrageous. Nobody would think that that could happen here.”

“Can’t go in your backyard to rake leaves or leave your garage door open without something bad happening” and “I’ve been here 23 years… it’s outrageous… Nobody would think that that could happen here,” are both quotes that illustrate the hubris of white people in believing that a Norman Rockwellian-existence could perpetuate itself when the city of Indianapolis is rapidly on its way to being whites become a plurality.

In 1990, more than 3 of every 4 residents in Indianapolis were white; today, the number is close to 1 of every 2 residents (high rates of black crime and ‘white flight’ to areas where black crime ‘could never happen here’ occurred). Worse, this dramatic shift has occurred when so-called Republicans have been in charge of the mayoralty of the city since 1968 (save an eight-year period from 2000-2008).

Memo to Paul Forbes, president of the Windcombe Neighborhood Association: call George Zimmerman.

He needs a job.

And he knows how to be a neighborhood watchmen.

Will White America Ever Shrug? 50.9% of Black Households and 53.3% of Hispanic Households Live Off Government Assistance

Are you sitting down? 

Go ahead, sit down. 

Take your time. 

Seated yet? 

Good. 

We already know the Day the EBT Card Runs Out is the day nature pimp-slaps nurture and the entitlement culture of Black-Run America (BRA), sending our egalitarian society crashing to the floor; no interference by the state can deny this eventuality from happening. 

American Exceptionalism on display: Will White America ever shrug? 

American Thinker has published a powerful essay [No Demagoguery Needed, October 30, 2013], which helps explain in lurid detail the enormous costs of shouldering a demographic group ill-equipped with competing in the cognitively-demanding country created (and sustained) by whites. Sure, individual black people can compete, but you don't base social policy on individuals. Here's what was published at American Thinker: 

At the end of last week, conservative news media reported on Census Bureau data showing that there were more people on welfare in the United States than there were people with full time jobs at the end of 2011. This is alarming news, but there is also a temptation to make it even more alarming by twisting the numbers to exaggerate the extent that Americans (which in the Census includes non-citizens who simply live in the U.S.) are dependent on government largesse. Terence P. Jeffrey, writing for CNS News, let the facts speak for themselves. He properly cited the Census definition of "means tested benefits" which equate with the popular understanding of welfare programs that transfer goods, services and income to the poor. 

According to the Census data cited by Jeffrey, "in the fourth quarter of 2011 were 82,457,000 people in households receiving Medicaid, 49,073,000 beneficiaries of food stamps, 20,223,000 on Supplemental Security Income, 23,228,000 in the Women, Infants and Children program, 13,433,000 in public or subsidized rental housing, and 5,854,000 in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program. Also among the 108,592,000 means-tested benefit recipients counted by the Census Bureau were people getting free or reduced-price lunch or breakfast, state-administered supplemental security income and means-tested veterans pensions." In comparison, 101,716,000 people worked full-time in 2011. 

There are other useful figures from the same Census report that did not make the CNS or Newsmax stories. The government figures were broken down by race. While 20.5% of White and 27.9% of Asian households receive some form of means-tested benefits, 50.9% of Black households and 53.3% of Hispanic households receive welfare assistance. The figure for Hispanic households should dispel any notions that the Republican Party will gain any advantage from immigration reforms that increase the size of this voting bloc. Communities with a high dependence on welfare will vote for the party that promises to keep the benefits flowing. There is a reason every Democrat in Congress supports comprehensive immigration reform that would open a path to the voting booth to those who came into the country illegally.

Shrug already...

Kudos to William R. Hawkins for brining to light this information, but even he left out some incredible details. Let's roll the ugliness, data that demonstrates beyond a shadow of a doubt that our tax-dollars could be fueling space exploration (We could have been on Mars...), but instead go to fueling 2013 Detroit. 

From the 2010 US Census, we learn from Table 543. Persons Living in Households Receiving Selected Noncash Benefit that:

•  20.5 percent of whites, 27.9 percent of Asians, 50.9 percent of blacks, and 53.3 percent of Hispanics (Latinos) received means-tested assistance (this includes means-tested cash assistance, food stamps, Medicaid, and public or authorized housing).
• From that same dataset, we learn that 6.9 percent of whites, 18.8 percent of Hispanics (Latinos), 5.7 percent of Asians, and 25.1 percent of blacks live in a household that receives food stamps/EBT/SNAP. 
• Crunching the numbers just a tad farther, we learn that 16.7 percent of whites, 43.8 percent of Hispanics (Latinos), 23.2 percent of Asians, and 39.4 percent of blacks live in a household in which on or more persons are covered by Medicaid. 
• How about public housing? 1.9 percent of whites, 4.7 percent of Hispanics (Latinos), 2.5 percent of Asians, and 11.5 percent of blacks live in public or authorized housing. 
• And, 4.4 percent of whites, 8.7 percent of Hispanics (Latinos), 5.6 percent of Asians, and 13.6 percent of blacks live in a household that receives means-tested cash assistance. 

Welcome to America, a land brimming with exceptionalism... right? 

Where we disembarked from a trajectory of working to the improve the lives of the historic American majority population, to importing a new underclass less violent than the one we foolishly brought to this continent centuries ago (well, it should be noted their kinsman in Africa willingly parted with some of them by selling them into slavery...)

Now, 50.9 percent of black households (this doesn't take into the account the vast black prison population, incarcerated to protect what little liberty still exists in America) in America rely on assistance, with the budding minority group (soon to be a majority in states like California, Texas, Arizona, etc.) known as "Hispanics" seeing 53.3 percent of their households receiving benefits. 

Meanwhile, white households are busy supporting this whole scheme. 

If 25.1 percent of black households relied on the EBT/SNAP card for food in 2010, what do you think the percentage is today? Easily, the number is north of 35 percent. 

Easily. 

Are you still sitting down? 

Why? 

You have work to do, for the black underclass (and brown) needs your assistance via a racial tax/transfer of wealth. 

American exceptionalism in 2013 means everyone in America has a future except white Americans. 

“The capitalist will sell you the rope to hang him with": JP Morgan Chase, McDonald's, Walmart, and the EBT/SNAP/Food Stamp Marriage

We already know JP Morgan Chase administers the whole EBT/SNAP/Food Stamp scam, to the tune of between a 31 cents to $2.30 fee per recipient (per individual processing fee, which adds up quickly and can be a fine, profitable business for both executives hoping for higher quarterly profits and investors looking for greater profit margins).

Two of America's largest "private" employers actively promote EBT/SNAP/WIC/Welfare for their employees...

We already know two of the largest private employers in America, Walmart (Wal-Mart) and McDonald's actively promote welfare and EBT/SNAP/Food Stamps for their employees. It's even part of Walmart's growth strategy and inventory forecasts (revenue management) to factor in EBT/Welfare-dependent customers (it could be argued Walmart is indebted to a continued growth of those reliant on entitlement programs to expand):

Bill Simon, CEO of Wal-Mart’s U.S. business, at a Goldman Sachs conference last week, on behavior at a Walmart store around midnight at the end of a month:

“The paycheck cycle we’ve talked about before remains extreme. It is our responsibility to figure out how to sell in that environment, adjusting pack sizes, large pack at sizes the beginning of the month, small pack sizes at the end of the month. And to figure out how to deal with what is an ever-increasing amount of transactions being paid for with government assistance.

“And you need not go further than one of our stores on midnight at the end of the month. And it’s real interesting to watch, about 11 p.m., customers start to come in and shop, fill their grocery basket with basic items, baby formula, milk, bread, eggs,and continue to shop and mill about the store until midnight, when electronic — government electronic benefits cards get activated and then the checkout starts and occurs. And our sales for those first few hours on the first of the month are substantially and significantly higher.

“And if you really think about it, the only reason somebody gets out in the middle of the night and buys baby formula is that they need it, and they’ve been waiting for it. Otherwise, we are open 24 hours — come at 5 a.m., come at 7 a.m., come at 10 a.m. But if you are there at midnight, you are there for a reason.”

Welcome to the new norm.

As the population continues to become darker, we know that more and more unemployable individuals of the non-white hue will increasingly find private employment a pipe dream, thereby relying on a transfer of wealth from the productive (white) population to survive.

VDARE.com: Breakdown of New York Times 2009 EBT/SNAP Food Stamp Map by Race

The new norm.

Do you understand why big business wants amnesty (more consumers dependent on EBT/SNAP/welfare)?

Do you understand why both the GOP and DNC are allied against the historic American majority population (because only whites have a vested interest in ending Black-Run America --BRA)?

Do you understand what the Day the EBT Card Runs Out truly means yet?

Racialism Socialism is upon us, with those vaunted corporations Conservatism Inc. loves to defend (Walmart and McDonald's are so entrepreneurial!!) part of an incestuous game of 'let's have whitey pay for a Newark World Order nationwide'!

Remember: both McDonald's and Walmart openly brag - in corporate messaging - about their non-white workforce; the former's employees can even call the 'McResource line' to learn how to take advantage of whitey's tax-dollars:

McDonald's workers should have no problem qualifying for government programs like food stamps and heating assistance.

The hamburger chain pretty much admits that in a call made by a worker to "McResource"-- a helpline set up for its workers.

The advocacy group Low Pay is not Ok recorded a phone call made to the helpline by one McDonald's worker Nancy Salgado. The group circulated an edited video of the recording. McDonald's said the video was "not an accurate portrayal of the resource line" because it was "very obviously" edited.

However, CNNMoney reviewed the full recording of the call.

Salgado, who has worked at a Chicago McDonald's for 10 years and makes $8.25 an hour, asked the McResource representative a number of questions related to getting assistance to pay for her heating bill, her groceries and her sister's medical expenses.

Salgado told the representative that she was recording the call for her sister.


The helpline operator never asked Salgado how much she made per hour, and how many hours per week she worked beyond the fact that she was a full-time employee. But she said that Salgado "definitely should be able to qualify for both food stamps and heating assistance."

The representative then pointed her toward a number of resources in Chicago, such as food pantries and a program that would help cover some of her heating bill. She said she would email her specific phone numbers and programs.

The operator also explained that the McResource line is available to help McDonald's workers who need help navigating the process of getting public assistance. The helpline's phone number is posted in fliers at many McDonald's locations.

McDonald's said in a statement that "the McResource Line is intended to be a free, confidential service to help employees and their families get answers to a variety of questions or provide resources on a variety of topics including housing, child care, transportation, grief, elder care, education and more."

In summary: two of America's top 10 private employers openly advocate for their employees to get on EBT/SNAP/Welfare, with one of those companies bragging in conference calls about the rate of commerce at the first of the month (because of entitlement abuse); another private company has the contract for EBT/SNAP, which awards them 31 cents to $2.30 each time they process an individual card... do you understand why no one truly opposes the growth inhttp://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-02-04/subsidy-addiction-jobs-vs-foodstamps Food Stamp usage?

Racial Socialism 101. You're paying for your own dispossession.

Food stamp fraud? Who cares? JP Morgan Chase still gets a processing fee in the end!

Right?

Republican?

Democrat?

All one can think of is this exchange of dialogue from Dark Knight Rises, when the 'villain' takes over the Gotham City's Stock Exchange:

Trader #1: This is a stock exchange! There's no money you can steal! 

Bane: Really? Then why are you people here?

Those FBI Files on Martin Luther King Won't Be Unsealed in 2027... All New FBI Agents Ordered to Visit MLK Memorial

Nothing to see here. 

Move along. 

Tremble at my base, White America!!

Just... move along. [FBI orders new agents to see Martin Luther King memorial, Reuters, 10-29-13]:

The new FBI chief on Monday ordered all new agents and analysts to visit the national memorial to late civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. as a reminder not to repeat the abuses of the U.S. investigative bureau's past.

In a similar gesture in 2000, the FBI added a stop at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum to its required training for new agents. Both sites, along with FBI headquarters, are in Washington.

FBI Director James Comey said in a speech to FBI employees that he wanted to add a similar reminder from the bureau's own history.

"It will serve as a different kind of lesson - one more personal to the bureau - of the dangers of becoming untethered to oversight and accountability," Comey said.

The FBI kept files on King as a potential security threat in the 1950s and 1960s - even wiretapping his phones - because of what the bureau said were suspected ties to communism. Comey called the King investigation an example of "abuse and overreach" in the FBI's history.

A memorial to King, with a 30-foot statue and quotations inscribed in stone, opened on the National Mall in 2011. The civil rights leader, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1968.

Sworn in last month, Comey, 52, made headlines in 2004 for demanding changes to a domestic spying program he considered an infringement of civil liberties. At the time, he was the No. 2 official in President George W. Bush's Justice Department.

Better yet, fall to a knee when thou visits Washington D.C., raise your heads to the heavens and praise thy Lord and Savior that he dared send his black son to earth to redeem white people for their wicked ways!

Never mind that those FBI files prove King was nothing more than a Communist, radical black agitator (though he has been carefully repackaged as a Ben Carson/Allen West Republican, the truth is truly in a Playboy interview he gave back in 1965), and anti-American rabble-rauser; that the FBI dared to do its job and perform surveillance on seditious individuals - especially one as holy and sanctified as Rev. King - is a true lesson in loss of "oversight and accountability."

After all, this FBI file demolishes the myth of 'Dr.' King in a manner requiring a 1977 court order to seal them shut for 50 years. Odds they remain forever sealed, like some perverse Ark of the Covenant -- imagine the faces of good white liberals melting as they did when the Covenant was opened in Raiders of the Lost Ark...[Nine Historical Archives That Will Spill New Secrets: Declassified records and journals to be released in coming decades will shed new light on pivotal 20th-century figures and events, Smithsonian magazine, July-August 2010]:

2027: The FBI spied on Martin Luther King Jr. in an unsuccessful effort to prove he had ties to Communist organizations. In 1963, Attorney General Robert Kennedy granted an FBI request to surreptitiously record King and his associates by tapping their phones and placing hidden microphones in their homes, hotel rooms and offices. A 1977 court order sealed transcripts of the surveillance tapes for 50 years.

President Barack Obama named Comey to succeed Robert Mueller, whose 12 years as FBI director made him the second longest-serving director after J. Edgar Hoover.

 King wasn't a potential security threat, he was a security threat; his second in command Rev. Ralph Abernathy, carried on the 'proud' legacy of King, when only a year after the latter's death he led a horse and buggy caravan to Cape Canaveral to protest white America going to the Moon. 

Had King not been assassinated, this is what his movement would have descended into. 

A joke. 

But the jokes on what's left of America, with the FBI now tasking new agents to fall before King's statue in awe of the world he helped usher in; those records will never be unsealed, and if they by chance are, we'll be told the FBI made the whole thing up. 

Funny -- the notion MLK was worth deifying is the only fiction being passed as fact.

'Justice has a price. That price is freedom.'

Picking up a copy of The Best of Judge Dredd (Classic Strips From the Galaxy's Greatest Judge: I Am the Law), immediately this writer's eyes fell upon the story with the title 'America'.

'Limp-wrist' liberals, fearful of administering justice to those breeding disorder, have lorded over a system far more oppressive than James Crow could have ever hoped to be

Let's just allow a monologue by the eponymous character tell the story:

Where do I stand? 

I'll tell you where I stand 

I stand four-square for justice. I stand for discipline, good order and the rigid application of the law -- and Grud (PK Note: 'swear word' in the fictional future society Dredd lives in) help any limp-wrist liberals who say different. 

The people, they know where I stand. They need rules to live by -- I provide them. They break the rules, I break them. That's the way it works. 

The people like it that way. They need to know where they stand. 

Rights? 

Sure. I'm all for rights. But not at the expense of order. 

That's why I like to see that Statue of Judgement standing there. Towering over liberty (PK note: yes, in this future society, a statue of 'justice' is erected on Ellis Island, towering over the Statue of Liberty). 

Kind of a symbol. 

Justice has a price. 

The price is freedom. 

The above material, a monologue from The Best of Judge Dredd story 'America', is probably too much for your contemporary conservative or libertarian, who listens to Alex Jones and believes Ron and Rand Paul will save the day.

Justice. Discipline. Order.

Concepts anathema in what we've labeled Black-Run American (BRA), a ruling ideology that thrives on anarcho-tyranny, chaos, and destruction.

'Justice has a price. That price is freedom.' -- Judge Dredd

Freedom has a price; that price is the civilization white people birthed, cultivated, and ultimately surrendered when the fires were still burning in the black rebellion/riots/insurrection of the 1960s.

Think about it.

SBPDL stands for justice.

Freedom, you whine?

You must stand for 2013 Detroit...

"Wherever American cities are going, Newark will get there first.": Blacks march to 'Bury the Violence' in Newark... Again

In How Newark Became Newark: The Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of an American City by Brad R. Tuttle  an extremely poignant passage - from fiction - underscores the tragic nature of a place whose first black mayor (Kenneth Gibson, born in Alabama and part of the nation undoing 'Great Migration of blacks from the South) said of it, '"wherever American cities are going, Newark will get there first.":

Zuckerman Unbound: "Newark is a nigger with a knife!... Newark is finished, idiot! Newark is barbarian hordes and the Fall of Rome!"

Philip Roth, the famous author who set many of his novels in his hometown of Newark, offered an extremely brutal assessment of the post-riot city in his 1981 Zuckerman Unbound. In once scene, the renowned novelist Nathan Zuckerman (Roth's alter ego) is accosted by a man who feels it is his duty to set Zuckerman straight about the city he writes of so often with a semblance of nostalgia.  'What do you know about Newark, Mama's Boy! I read that fucking book! To you it's Sunday chop suey downtown at the Chink's! To you it's being Leni-Lenape Indians at school in the play! To you it's Uncle Max in his undershirt, watering the radishes at night! And Nick Etten at first for the Bears! Nick Etten! Moron! Moron! Newark is a nigger with a knife! Newark is a whore with the syph! Newark is junkies shitting in your hallway and everything burned to the ground! Newark is dago vigilantes hunting jigs with tire irons! Newark is bankruptcy! Newark is ashes! Newark is rubble and filth! Own a car in Newark and then you'll find out what Newark's all about! Then you can write ten books about Newark! They slit your throat for your radial tires! They cut off both balls for a Bulova watch! And your dick for the fun of it, if it's white!' "The light went green. Zuckerman made for the mounted policeman. 'You! Whining about Mama back in Newark and how she wouldn't wipe your ass for you three times a day! Newark is finished, idiot! Newark is barbarian hordes and the Fall of Rome! (p. 9-10)

The fall of Rome? Barbarian hordes? There can be no doubt the Newark of today is nothing like the Newark of 1913, a city that was 96 percent white. White flight, black crime, and black political solidarity (say what you will about black dysfunction, but black voters understand the importance of voting as a bloc to protect and promote their interests) gave birth to the Newark of 2013.

An article from the New York Times helps us understand just what type of world is created in the ruins of city that was once white [Legislators Form Panel On Car Theft In Newark, 11-13-1992]:

A day after four more Newark residents were killed as a result of the rising tide of car thefts in the city, New Jersey lawmakers announced a six-member task force to produce legislation intended to curb the problem.

"The crime is spreading at an epidemic proportion, and we will not stand for it," said Assemblyman Paul Digaetano, Republican of Rutherford, a member of the Assembly Task Force on Auto Theft. It is a bipartisan group appointed to sift through pending bills on car theft and carjacking and draft other bills within 90 days.

The wave of violence and death related to car theft rose sharply early Wednesday morning as four more people were killed. Those deaths brought to 11 the number of people killed in the Newark area in the past year in car-theft related accidents.

Mandatory Penalties

"Driving a car has become akin to taking a stagecoach across the Wild West," said Assemblyman Robert L. Brown, Democrat of Orange, another member of the task force.

White people ultimately brought civilization to the 'Wild West'; the influx of black people from the south only served to bring about a de-civilizing effect upon a city that was once one of America's great metropolitan areas.

Once, and never to be again.

Only five days ago, four people were killed and two people injured in a 12-hour orgy of black violence in Newark, a reminder that social capital and civic virtues also migrated from the city with white flight.

So what does a city, where the barbarian hordes have already sacked it as a modern-day reinterpretation of the fall of Rome, do to try coagulate the violence? Hold a symbolic funeral to bury the violence. (not to be confused with a 2007 march in Newark for a 'day of outrage' against violence) [Funeral organized to ‘Bury Violence in Newark', Essex News Daily, 10-27-13]:

The Irvington NAACP recently hosted a forum on violence in urban communities as a public health emergency, and now plans to participate in a “mock funeral” ceremony Sunday, Oct. 27, to symbolically “Bury Violence in Newark.”

According to Terrance Bankston, a former Essex County Board of Chosen Freeholders candidate who also works as a hip-hop entrepreneur, “The Funeral to Bury Violence in Newark” is the brainchild of Newark native Dupre Kelly, who is also known internationally as “DoItAll” from the hip-hop group Lords of the Underground.
Kelly is also the chief executive officer of 211 MG and cofounder and chairman of 211 Community Impact, which linked up with other local grassroots activists and antiviolence organizations to form the coalition behind Sunday’s “funeral.”

Bankston and Bashir Akinyele, a member of the Newark Anti-Violence Coalition, which helped to organize and moderate the “Violence as a Public Health Emergency” forum on Oct. 3, identified the members of the coalition sponsoring “The Funeral” as: 211 Community Impact; Newark Anti-Violence Coalition; FP Youth Outcry; 24 Hours of Peace; Anti-Industry Entertainment; Stop Shootin Music; and Newark’s West Ward Economic Development Corporation.

Participating funeral homes include: Perry Funeral Home; Woody Home for Services; Chapels of Edan Funeral Home; J. E. Churman Funeral Home; Cotton Funeral Services; Cushnie-Houston Funeral Home; and Morticians Who Care. The list of celebrities and other notable invited guests scheduled to attend and participate in the event includes: NBA star and Newark native Shaquille O’Neal; rappers Lords of The Underground; Redman; Naughty by Nature; Mike Bivins of BBD; Mr. Cheeks of the Lost Boyz; Rah Digga of Busta Rhymes Flipmode Squad; JD Williams; Hakim Green of Channel Live; and radio and TV host Ed Lover.

Kelly first announced the upcoming “funeral” at Bankston’s Hip-Hop Conference Part II event, which took place in downtown Newark on Oct. 12.

“I’m assuming he birthed it, but I don’t want to slight anybody on his team when I say that,” Bankston said recently. “I was very upset about the recent spree of killings in Newark and one of my background dancer’s girlfriend got killed by accident on Hawthorne Avenue.”

“I’m not about laying in the street or marching without a purpose or results, but I can do what I can do and I can contribute what I can contribute and the best thing for me to do is to be an example and partner with other examples. My cofounder of the Hip-Hop Conference, Super Ears, actually does a lot of work with DoItAll … and he just built on it."

Akinyele said Sunday’s event would include five funeral processions — one leaving from each ward of Newark at the same time — that come together at Bears and Eagles Riverfront Stadium for “The Funeral” service itself.

The funeral service, which begins at 1 p.m. and ends at 4:30 p.m., features youth speakers; leaders of community organizations; victims’ families; readings from the Bible and the Koran; a prayer in Spanish; and tributes from local choirs and singers.
“We decided we were gonna stick together … and make it about the culture of hip-hop,” Bankston said, adding, “People have to understand that hip-hop is a culture."

 Oh, Newark in 2013 is a perfect reminder of the type of 'culture' black people create. A perfect reminder.

 As Philip Roth wrote, "Newark is a nigger with a knife!... Newark is finished, idiot! Newark is barbarian hordes and the Fall of Rome!"

No mock funeral is needed for the civilization whites created in Newark, with near century-old skyscrapers acting as painful headstones to a society long-ago buried under the weight of silly notions of progress, equality, and freedom.

'The Black Death' Comes to Cincinnati -- A Story the Cincinnati Enquirer Wanted Buried, Reanimated for You

 Back in 2009, the Cincinnati Enquirer actually published some high quality journalism. Though much of it is no longer available online, consider this a bonus of SBPDL: we'll find long, out-of-print articles scrubbed from the Internet and re-post them for the world to see. 

Violence, crime, misery, and murder have a color in Cincinnati. And yes, it is black. [DEADLY STREETS HARD TO ESCAPE: Violent death has become frighteningly routine in Cincinnati's most treacherous places,Cincinnati Enquirer, 1-4-2009]:

Violent death has become frighteningly routine in Cincinnati's most treacherous places

ENQUIRER ANALYSIS - ROOTS OF CRIME

By Eileen Kelley The Enquirer

Proof the 'black death' never went away

AVONDALE

On a typical school day, children spill from a Rockdale Avenue school and race past a statue of Abraham Lincoln, a gift to the city in 1902.

Lorraine Holley hoists her stop sign and defiantly walks into the intersection of Reading Road and Rockdale, constantly turning her head left to right as she ushers the South Avondale Elementary students across the street.

She can make sure they cross safely, but Holley worries they may eventually become homicide or gunshot victims like so many others here.

Anti-violence advocates across the city say it's time to put down the guns. They say it's time to come to grips with the realities facing young African-Americans - many are dying before their parents.

Since 2002, police statistics show, the three most violent city blocks in Cincinnati are in Avondale, one of them this stretch of Reading, followed by a nearby block of Burnet Avenue. A second stretch of Reading, also close by, comes in a close third.

"Baby, I ain't got a number for you," Holley said when asked how often she's heard gunfire.

When it's happened before, she said, she grabbed as many kids as she could and got them to huddle together much like a quarterback would do when planning his next offensive move.

But this isn't football.

This is life in the 3500 block of Reading Road in Avondale.

"It's treacherous out there," said Jennifer Williams, director of the anti-violence program Out of the Crossfire.

The city appeared on track early in 2008 to further reduce its homicide numbers from 2007, a rate that had peaked with a modern-day record of 89 homicides in 2006.

It didn't happen.

During the fall, the city's rate jumped ahead of the 68 homicides in 2007 and Cincinnati ended 2008 with 75.

Despite the dip from 2006, shootings are still epidemic. For every homicide, between eight and 10 people are shot in the city.

During Christmas week, more than six people were shot in the city, said Dr. Jay Johannigman, a trauma surgeon at University Hospital.

A couple from West Chester or Montgomery celebrating an anniversary in downtown Cincinnati has little to worry about when it comes to their safety, but residents living in some of the city's worst combat zones have a lot to worry about.

They are tired of the violence and many look forward to the day they don't run out of hands and toes when they tally the people they know who have been shot.

The three most dangerous areas are all in Avondale, the city's largest African-American neighborhood.

Fifty-one homicides, shootings or aggravated assaults have been reported since the beginning of 2002 in the 3500 block of Reading, which begins at the Lincoln statue at Rockdale, police records show.

Not far from there, in the 3500 block of Burnet Avenue, 50 homicides, shootings or aggravated assaults were reported during the same period. A bit north, just up the road in the 3700 block of Reading, 40 such crimes were reported in the past six years.

The three tough city blocks are home to two elementary schools, South Avondale Elementary, where Holley scoots the children across the multiple lanes of traffic each morning and afternoon, and Rockdale Elementary on Burnet Avenue.

The dangerous turf is also near nationally renowned hospitals, University and Children's Hospital Medical Center. Burnet Avenue also offers a home away from home - the Ronald McDonald House - for families whose children must be hospitalized for long periods.

Residents tell stories of ducking from gunfire that has killed people at bus stops or people sitting on couches in their homes. Children coming out of stores have also been caught in the crossfire.

'We are dying out here'

"We are dying out here for nothing," says Mitch Morris, 53 who lives in Avondale. "You don't have to go to Iraq for that. We have a war right here in the city. ... We are at war right now."

The blocks are festooned with reminders of the dead.

Stuffed teddy bears cover a utility pole outside the Crescent, a sprawling low-income high rise in the 3700 block of Reading.

For now, the pole memorializes Travis Williams.

Black America won the 'Battle of Cincinnati' in 2001

Written in black marker on the pole are the words, "RIP with God." A Bible is tacked to the old wooden pole, as is an 8-by-10 photograph of Williams and friends.

At 11:30 p.m. on Sept. 25, Williams became the city's 52nd homicide victim of 2008.

Earlier that night, Williams told friends at the Crescent it was time to take a break from the streets. He said he was heading to his mother's house in Mount Auburn to chill out for a few weeks.

Twenty-three homicide victims later, the year finally ended. Victims ranged in age from 11 weeks to 83 years.

Gunfire is the confirmed cause in the deaths of 61 of the 75. Fifty-seven of the homicide victims were African-Americans, like Williams.

"We cannot continue with this type of slaughter," said Abdul Bilal, a member of the Cincinnati Streetworker Program, which offers outreach at the Avondale Pride Center.

The center is next to one of the mean streets, the 3500 block of Burnet. "It's getting old and the people are getting tired," he said of the violence.

Williams rolled up a long criminal record with a heavy dose of violence before he died in September. He was accused of knocking the teeth out of someone he pummeled. At 18, he also was accused of pulling a knife and threatening to stab a man if the man didn't buy drugs.

He lived and died in front of the Crescent. The group he ran with calls itself the Crack Side.

"It's not a gang; It's a family," said David Horsley, 21, a Crack Side member and Williams' close friend.

Crescent resident Rhonda Beatty said people in the neighborhood were afraid of Williams.

Beatty said she walks past the Williams effigy daily without giving it much thought. "That's what happens when you sell drugs," she said. "... Nothing good is going to come of you if you sell drugs."

Bernard Irvin, a Woodward High School senior, saw the good in Williams. Williams, he said, praised him for going to school, playing sports and for not running the streets like he did.

Williams even grabbed a gun out of Horsley's hands when Horsley intended to shoot someone.

"He said it wasn't worth it," Horsley said.

Caught up in 'wrong things'

"He was good at heart. He was just caught up in the wrong things," Irvin said.

Those wrong things gave Williams the very strong feeling that he would die - soon.

"He wasn't afraid; he always knew he'd die," Irvin said.

The notion and expectation of death is very real for many in the inner city.

Twenty-year-old Nathaniel Sanders knew people were gunning for him.

When police found him dying of a gunshot wound in a West End alley on Sept. 26, he was wearing a bullet-resistant vest.

No one has been arrested for his death, although many say his death was meant to even a score.

Sanders had a reputation as a tough kid in the city's West End, said City Councilman Cecil Thomas, who warned police to look out for him and tried to persuade his parents to get to him before street justice did.

"This kid had instilled so much fear," Thomas said. "The only justice was going to be street justice and it was obvious that it was coming."

Police found Sanders cradled in the fetal position with his hands wrapped around his head. He had been shot in the stomach and the head.

Even youths who play it straight, like Irvin, don't think they are invincible. "I know death is going to happen because I live in the hood like everyone else," he said.

It's hard to find someone - anyone over 15 - who lives in Avondale who doesn't know someone affected by gun violence.

Monique Ingram, 16, can list six people she knows who have been shot. The teen grew up in Avondale, but now lives in St. Bernard. Two of those shot died.

Some victims are missed more than others.

These days it has been lonely in the 3700 block for Tyron Williams, who said he hung with Travis Williams.

Tyron stops by the teddy bear and Bible-covered utility pole that serves as Travis Williams' memorial each day.

"Is it good up there?" Tyron will ask staring up at the pole. "You all right? Me, I'm just trying to live."

Many don't.

A brick wall inside one entrance at The Crescent is testimony to the violence in Avondale. Scrawled across the old red brick wall in black ink are the names of those who died.

"Man I Miss My Dawgz RIP Eugene, Marcus, Ed, Lil Steven Chris B, G-Money, Lil' Matt, $lick NiA centsk, Black Kev, Head, Lil' Kevin, Lil' Dav, MacMal."

"People (around here) just adapt to it," said Irvin as he stood in front of the wall.

Not long after Williams was gunned down with a bullet to the chest, his friend, Maurice Weaver, 21, was arrested for his murder. Weaver, also a Crack Side member, boasted to other members that when he turned 21, he was going to kill someone.

He made good on the promise five days after his 21st birthday.

Street codes fall by wayside

Neither man observed the old code of the streets.

Cincinnati Streetworkers - many of whom once lived the life of drugs deals and robberies - speak out about the dangerous life that saturates blocks like 3500 Reading, 3500 Burnet and 3700 Reading.

"None of these guys are adhering to the (old) street code," said Bilal. "Hustling back in the day was never meant to be a full-time job; it was something you did part time. These guys are now in it full swing. The street code was in place to keep people from getting killed."

The code said don't bring gangs into your neighborhood.

The code said family first, not your friends on the street.

The code meant taking Sunday off.

This year, nine people died on Sundays.

The code meant keeping teens out of the game. Ten teens died last year.

"I'm sick of the streets," Bilal said. "I'm sick of the teddy bears on the street poles. I'm sick of mothers outliving their sons."

Children's Hospital Medical Center has seen more than 243 gunshot victims since 2000.

University Hospital saw 67 gunshot victims in 2000. None were victims of accidental shootings or self-inflicted wounds. As of Dec. 15, the hospital treated 372 shooting victims in 2008.

"It's like (the street code is) ancient rules now," Bilal said. "The code was to keep all the negative stuff out of the communities."

That negative stuff is nowhere more apparent than along the 3500 block of Burnet.

A disrespectful comment or gesture at worst would end in a fist fight back in Rev. Peterson Mingo's day when he ran with the Lucky 13 gang in Avondale in the 1960s. Today, it tends to end in a gun battle.

The corner parking lot of a convenience store is ripe pickings for people looking to peddle dope or to even a score.

For now, at least, it is the narrative and the norm of the street, says Robin Engel, a University of Cincinnati professor who has teamed up with the Cincinnati Police Department for the anti-violence program, the Cincinnati Initiative to Reduce Violence.

"Right now, the code of the street is if someone disrespects you, you have to resort to violence," she says.

Dead, young men in 20s

Of the 75 homicide victims in 2008, 28 were between the age of 20 and 29.

The way Tony Calhoun, 33, sees it that can also be pretty fatalistic for young black men.

Calhoun, who is unemployed most of the time and has a criminal record, said the lack of jobs gives young men and those his age little hope.

With nothing to do, they congregate, many times in the 3500 block of Burnet.

He and friend Benjamin Smith, 27, were there one evening last month.

"Stand here long enough and you'll see some action," Smith said.

Both say they know dozens of people who have been shot, many right on that corner.

"It's an everyday thing," Calhoun said. "You get used to it."

As the two spoke, darkness fell over the area. Instead of the crowd thinning for dinnertime, it swelled.

"The majority of the problems here is that there is nothing to do," Calhoun said. He admitted he was bored and walked down to the end of Burnet to check in with others in the neighborhood.

"Put everyone in one spot and that just gives you more reasons to mess with folks. That's why stuff happens the way it does.

"People are getting shot because they have nothing to do. They have no outlet. No place to chill out and relax or a place to have something constructive to do."

That's why many join gangs.

Police have identified 48 different groups that they describe as violent.

An analysis of 83 homicides between June 2006 and June 2007 suggested that in 72 percent, the victim or the offender was a member of a street group.

Calhoun was in a gang from the age of 16 to 21. The gang fell apart with the beating death of someone in the West End.

That was enough for Calhoun.

"They stomped him in the face until his face cracked," he said.

Irvin, the Woodward senior, hopes to leave this all behind this fall. He's thinking about colleges in Denver, Connecticut and Texas. "I'm trying to get as far away from here as I can.

"Hopefully these guys out here will let me live long enough. My fear is that these guys will stop me before I get a chance to make a change."

Three Avondale blocks top list of most violent

Rife with gunfire, three Avondale blocks top Cincinnati's deadliest streets. These blocks are home to two schools and are near world-class hospitals.

Where the crime is most concentrated

Three city blocks, all in Avondale, are the deadliest in the city. At The Enquirer's request, Cincinnati police tracked homicides, shootings and aggravated assaults over the past six years. The three blocks had a total of 141 such crimes. The central part of the city (right) has the highest concentration. The darker the circle, the more dangerous the area. The map lists all 125 street blocks that have had at least 10 acts of such violence in the past six years. The No. 1 deadliest spot is the 3500 block of Reading Road, with 51 such acts of violence.
