    Saw a white guy pulled out of his car and throat spray painted while the black police chief had the cops standing down the street, because they didn’t want to hurt the wee little black “boys” at Morehouse and Spelman while the Asian couple stood on their roof begging for help, all courtesy of the news helicopter. I saw blacks were climbing the fence of the Washington Street overpass of I-285 during the riots, why because only white people drive on the freeway? I had no Internet.

    I had nothing whatsoever to do with Atlanta (where I was born) being the murder capital when it was, my parents once lived in Techwood Homes, but that was long before they had a cross burned in their yard for refusing the Klan’s call to discriminate. Taught not to discriminate my whole life, for NOTHING, now you are the Lynch mobs, now you are the racists, now that you got a Black President you are worse than ever before.

    You don’t see it, what are you blind?

    Talk to yourselves black people, fix your own damn internal racism mess (you are the Kleagle’s best recruiter), and not by being “black thing” racists buying black magazines and only shopping in black stores, telling me to hunt for a house in a black hood in DeKalb county where I used to live once and give you the listing for a black agent, because it is “a black thing,” telling me you can’t be my friend because other blacks don’t want you hanging out with whitey, wearing kingly cloth, or joining the Nation of fracking Islam like a rich history of racists turds. Who can forget walking a gauntlet of blacks with little fists sticking out of their pockets in High School?

    I am freaking sick of hearing about black lynch mobs being my fault, during the reign of a half black president who like a turd was motivated to learn the “black thing.”

    I was an idealist that thought running for public office would be a good idea... but this is a long story. Even the Cliff's Notes will be a bit in depth, but here goes.

    It was on a Memorial Day week-end. I got in the shower and nothing but cold water came out. A few calls to plumbers made me decide that I should do this job on my own. Off to Home Depot I went with my girlfriend (her trunk was big enough for a water heater.) I changed out the water heaters and then the one I bought kept flipping the breaker off.

    A call to Home Depot had me finding out that I either had to change water heaters or change breakers. The manager of Home Depot recommended that I change water heaters. He said he'd bring one up front and that I would bring the one I had back and we'd do the exchange. He told me to park at the Customer Service Entrance and he'd meet me there.

    We did. The transaction took less than ten minutes and he went with me with the new water heater on a cart to make the exchange. When we got there, a cop is writing a ticket for illegal parking. But, on the pavement, is Customer Service in large yellow letters. There was a no parking sign, but it was obscured by stacks of lawn chairs. We argued and the cop pissed me off.

    I went to court and won the case. But, I also went right next door and photographed cops parking on the sidewalk at the theater, right behind a no parking sign AND blocking an emergency exit. I went to tell the theater manager. A cop came up front and tried to tell me off duty cops were allowed to break the law. I advised him he was not. So, I took my pictures and shared them with the county commission. The chairman of the county commission sent the pictures to Butch Conway, the sheriff... who then wrote me a letter telling me to "mind your own godd^xxn business."

    Of course I began to use my non-violent legal and political avenues of redress. The cops began using whatever was at their disposal. They had me arrested on a trumped up charge (that they ultimately lost) and even enlisted the FBI to harass me. The District Attorney called the FBI and told them to never come back to this county without going through him first. I was in a personal spat with a guy that wanted my job and they went to him offering him money - which he took. That's when they hatched this plan to raid my home, kill me and claim I resisted arrest.

    The dirtbag that wanted my job would agree to tell a lie (which he did and was paid handsomely for in cash.) Then the plan was hatched, but I got lucky. Somehow a news reporter got wind of the planned raid and told me and then did a story in the AJC. It got a GBI agent demoted, put out of work for a while and his file has a notation as to what he did.

    The GBI agent that started down that road tried to sue for his job back, but the position of the GBI was that he was the sole reason I lost my job and, consequently, my credit rating, my good name, etc., etc. Yep. We went that far over a parking ticket. And, while I prevailed in the legal actions, IF I try to work against police corruption, they will resume efforts to kill me. That is the price for trying to change the system via the legal and political process.

    Because whites speak out against racial violence without having to be told. They do not celebrate the violent racists in their mists. Instead they marginalize them. The majority of whites denounces racial violence. Blacks on the other hand, celebrate, and even encourage, racial violence. If you want to get rid of racism, then each race has to silence the racists in their ranks. We have to end all racial discrimination, including institutionalize discrimination. Otherwise, racism will remain rampant in our society.

    Additionally, it is the responsibility of the leaders of any group that has a violent element within the group to speak out against that violence. Any group whose leaders refuse to meet that responsibility is guilty of aiding that violent element, and should be held accountable as such.

    They get them through straw buyers, or from Bob's back of the trunk gun store.

    What did he do to calm us down and unite us?

    This country has needed police reform since it was founded. Its amazing listening to folks like you who will make every excuse that racism doesn't exist and if it does it only happens every Blue Moon.

    So all these kids from the "hood" are taking trips down to Mexico to buy guns. Thxs for letting me know.

    So what did he do carry a duffle bag in the gun shop with him or did he push them out on a cart.

    Reagan was a proponent of gun control.
    http://patch.com/california/santacruz/who-was-tougher-on-gun-control-barack-obama-or-ronald-reagan

    And Bush, Sr did address the nation and call for peace during the LA Riots.

    Yea when he wanted to stop the BPP from carrying them when he was Gov of California. How much gun control did he do during the 80s when crack hit the scene under his watch and gangs were killing each other in the streets of Compton, LB, LA, etc.

    Addressing the nation is not calming and uniting. What policies did he set forth to produce this calm and unity?

    Seems logical to an outsider who does not see the same level of shooting anywhere else in the world that is not an active war zone or politically unstable third world country

    How many Americans have to be shot before it is accepted that proliferation of firearms contributes to the problem?

    You have never heard of the Brady Bill?



    Did anyone call on Obama to make policies to produce calm? The OP called on Obama to speak out against these cop ambushes that are occurring across the country. Unlike Reagan or Bush, Obama interjected himself into the racial divide from the beginning of his Administration. I'm sure you haven't forgot the famous Beer Summit. Or his words about the Treyvon Martin case, "If I had a son, he would look like Treyvon...." In every case Obama has rushed headlong into passing judgment in these cases. In the majority of them, he has ended up on the wrong side of the facts. Obama has worked to be the first Black American President, when he should have been working on being the first American President who happens Black. He often forgets that he is the President of all Americans no matter what their race is. It is time he starts doing his job.

    Isn't what you propose a lot like outlawing food because some people get fat?

    Let me put it into perspective. Every time we start talking about shootings, the anti-gun lobby goes off on a tangent about gun control. But, in many of the instances we're witnessing today, the cops did not know whether or not a person is armed. It's shoot first and ask questions later. So, this is my personal take.

    When, what 49, people are killed in Orlando by a deranged gunman, the typical knee jerk reaction is to blame the guns. Since this was a gay bar, let's be honest.

    The highest incidence of AIDs related deaths is still within the gay community. If we outlaw gay sex, would it not reduce STDs and save lives?

    Cigarettes cost 480,000 deaths per year. As a nonsmoker, your odds of dying via second hand smoke are FIVE TIMES greater than dying by a firearm. Can you point me to your many posts demanding a ban on cigarettes? Maybe a waiting period to buy them? Perhaps you wrote about a background check for smokers? You mean you haven't posted anything about a product that can be dangerous to pregnant women, children and ends in the deaths of over 1300 people per day?

    According to MADD, every day 27 people are killed in DUI accidents. Did you know that a person can buy as much booze as they can afford, drink it and then get in their car only to end up in a crash that kills someone else with no background check or special license required? Then, that same person can be let out of prison after a few years, immediately walk into a store and buy as much booze as they can afford with no background checks and no special license required? And then they can repeat the same process over and over.

    You can buy toxic junk food and destroy your health - even the health of your kids. It's a slow death - obesity, diabetes, heart disease, etc. Do you have a thread here wherein you advocate a special license in order to buy junk food? How about a ban on calorie laden, artery clogging, heart stopping crap?

    In a free society we accept certain risks and we tolerate certain behaviors because we have a commitment to Liberty. Unlike everything else I mentioned, our forefathers summed it up best:

    "There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty." John Adams

    "Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined." Patrick Henry

    That public liberty encompasses the Right to keep and bear Arms. It is an unalienable Right. If America addressed the roots of evil instead of contemplating banning the insurance policy against tyranny, we might actually make some progress.

    I love it when a group of people are subconsciously pushing for their own genocide. It makes me smile at their ignorance.

    Actually black people ARE the problem with firearms.

    They account for 76% of all firearm related crime.

    Stop blaming an object,blame a group of people that can't keep their youth in check.

    Kr*p like "If I had a son he could look like Trayvon" goes a long way to "legitimizing" black on white violence.
    Other liberals on these threads have bemoaned "white nationalist" (most of them FBI/ADL informants/provacatures) calling for a race war.
    There's a better idea. A guy 15 years back on the First Amendment Exercise Machine said that what is coming in America is a civil war among white's over the presence of non-whites (instant Democrats) in America.
    I've refined his statement to say that in the event of civil war white's should not attack racial, religious or linguistic minorities. That just gets the righteous indignation of white liberals up.
    In the event of civil war we should go after white liberals and leave the minorities alone. Animal fear will trump the pleasure of moral superiority every time.:salute:

    Asinine post.

    More police died during the Reagan years than during the Obama years. Violent crime is down under Obama as compared to Reagan.

    Why are freaking out now when violence is actually down compared to the 80's? You're freaking out because you
    have bought into a false narrative. So step away from the keyboard - take a few breaths and start thinking like a rational
    human being.

    Places like Chicago have been violent for many years, but the violence was at its highest during the early-mid 1990's with the expansion of gang violence.

    The thugs shoot 15 people a day in Chicago now simply because they can get away with it.

    There has never been a single #BLM demonstration against gang or thug on thug violence. Not a single one.

    What is the larger problem?

    ---a relative few Black men getting shot by police almost always resisting?

    ---or the thousands of Black men shooting and killing each other that are never even found or arrested?

    Last night in Atlanta the BLM protests didn't turn violent, but they did stop a tractor trailer rig delivering foodstuff to area restaurants.. They also stopped a tow truck..

    There was no violence.. about 100 police officers were called in.

    Taking away someone's liberty of movement by force is violence.
    Not realizing that simple fact is what breeds greater violence which is how we got where we are today.

    If the solution to terrorism is to shower the terrorists with love and kindness then wouldn't the solution for racism be the same, or is liberal logic a little askew?

    If treating terrorists poorly is seen as a recruitment tool for terrorists then....well, you see where this is going, the exact arguments the left makes which they say cause a problem are the very tactics they use when they perceive a problem of their own.

    On May 12, 2016 (2 months ago) my 18 year old son was arrested at his high school and charged with domestic abuse for blocking the path of his girlfriend for 15 seconds; they were fighting, she wanted to get by but he stood in her way and prevented it. So far his defense has cost me $3000 and he was kicked out of school for the rest of the year. Keep in mind he never laid a finger on her, not one.
