Blacks ruin Fourth of July in Baltimore; media censor race

This post is from last year. It was the last thing I wrote before I moved to UnamusementPark.com. My site redirect just expired, so please bookmark and/or subscribe to the new website, where you will find our brand new Fourth of July coverage.

Since late last night (July 4), another unremarkable story with no race angle at all has been floating around the Internet. The Baltimore Sun has one of the earliest reports: “Man stabbed to death, child shot in Inner Harbor after fireworks.”

Violence erupted in separate locations of the Inner Harbor Monday night despite a heavy police presence for the holiday, with a child shot in the leg and a man fatally stabbed shortly after the fireworks ended.

…

Earlier in the day, a man in his 20s was shot twice inside a parking garage around 2 a.m. after a long-running feud was reignited. He survived the attack.

This violence was “a significant disappointment” for Baltimore police, whose “elaborate July Fourth safety plan… involved several hundred state and city officers patrolling Baltimore’s streets, monitoring surveillance cameras and tracking one another via GPS signals.” In fact, Police Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld III was so confident in his planning,

[he] held a news conference Monday evening to quell fears that the downtown area was dangerous, telling reporters that arrests were imminent in the morning incident and that he believed there were “sufficient resources” in place to secure the Inner Harbor for the Independence Day celebration.

Oops.

The story does not mention race, so for example, the stabbing victim was an “adult male,” who got into a confrontation with a “group of individuals”; two more “individuals” fell into the water and were rescued by the BPD Marine Unit; “several juveniles” were arrested for carrying knives; and police enforced the curfew by clearing “young people” off the streets after 11 pm.

Tonight (July 5), WRBL News reports that “a photo of the suspect in the killing was taken by cellphone” and “city officials were hoping to quickly capture the suspect,” yet the photo is neither shown nor described. In particular, the story does not mention race. The Baltimore Business Journal is similarly uninformative.

The Baltimore Sun’s follow-up includes a video in which Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake (who is black) condemns “these people who engage in these terrible and senseless acts of violence” as cowards whose behavior will not be tolerated. Neither the story nor the video mentions race. However, the video does briefly display a photo of the suspect. WBAL has more photos (below), plus a video of a large number of African Americans “celebrating” the Fourth of July in a not-unthreatening manner.

One witness reports a “moving mob” (or something kind of like it).

Jean Holzhueter, who lives within walking distance of the Inner Harbor, has attended the New Year’s and Independence Day fireworks for many years, but she said that Monday was the first time she felt unsafe during the festivities. … “It was kind of like a moving mob,” Holzhueter said. Although police responded quickly, she said, Holzhueter was afraid she would be pushed into the water by the expanding crowd. “It was just scary how fast it grew.”

Fortunately, a man who gets paid to make Baltimore look good sets us straight.

Added Bill Gilmore of the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts: “You need to march along. You can’t let an incident like this deter your Independence Day celebrations. You can’t let the actions of a few people affect the good work and entertainment of the public at large.”

Reporting is sooooo much work

Let us apply our usual racist trick: search Twitter for “harbor, black” and other interesting combinations of words (e.g. “somebody got stabbed at the harbor”) to see what the mainstream media could not be bothered to report.

Here are just a few of the hundreds of relevant tweets I found from the night in question, not including re-tweets. I’ll keep it simple: name, race, time, and tweet. Notice how early people (well, black people) detected trouble (from black people). For comparison, the stabbing occurred shortly after 10 pm (ABC2) and first aired on the 11 pm news.

• IKeepAMistress, black, 12:14 am: “I see why white people think so low of blacks. Like seriously black people can’t just go to a nice place like the harbor and act right”

There are hundreds more like this from the same night, all saying basically the same thing:

1. the Inner Harbor was full of black people last night
2. the black people started fighting, one of them stabbed someone to death, and one of them shot a child
3. point 2 is disappointing, but not surprising, given point 1

In a way, this is good news. Many ordinary black people — unlike their leaders and unlike most white people — are willing to say what we should all be thinking: black people, compared to white people, are innately violent and criminal, and you can’t put too many of them in the same place without someone getting killed. Harsh, I know, but this is the only theory that fits the data.

When the media won’t tell you the facts about black crime, go straight to the source: black people who are fed up with it themselves.

Florida cop-killers: a pattern emerges (Florida, part 5)

Happy Independence Day.

Besides the three (white) cops shot to death (by blacks) in St. Petersburg in early 2011, at least four other Florida police officers have been shot and killed since June 2010.

Just days before the violent, child-abusing black sex offender Hydra Lacy Jr. killed Sergeant Tom Baitinger and Officer Jeffrey Yaslowitz, two Miami-Dade detectives, Roger Castillo (41, 23-year veteran, married father of three) and Amanda Haworth (44, 21-year veteran, single mother of one) were killed in a shootout with violent, drug-dealing black fugitive Johnny Simms (Miami Herald, January 20, January 20; NBC Miami, January 21; Miami New Times, January 21).

Roger Castillo and Amanda Haworth.

Simms had a long criminal history, according to the Miami Herald (January 20):

In October 2005 and December 2005, Simms was arrested for separate armed robberies, one with a pistol and the second with a rifle. Prosecutors did not file charges in either case.

In 2007, Simms… went to state prison for a different 2005 armed robbery and auto theft. He was released in February 2009 on probation.

Simms violated his probation when he was again arrested in June 2010, this time for robbery with a deadly weapon and selling cocaine. He pleaded guilty and Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Julio Jimenez sentenced him to one year in prison plus five years’ probation.

But Simms served only one month because he had earned credit for time served earlier in a Miami-Dade jail. He was released in September 2010 on five years of court-mandated “administrative probation,” a low-level form of supervision that does not require regular check-ins with authorities.

Simms hadn’t been out a month before he was again implicated in a violent act.

According to Miami homicide detectives, Simms shot and killed Cornelious Larry, 27, on Oct. 16 in the parking lot of an Overtown apartment complex, 1535 NW First Pl.

Simms had been on the lam since.

Cop-killer Johnny Simms.

The police finally tracked him down in Liberty City.

Castillo’s and Haworth’s squad, wearing body armor labeled “Police,” were dispatched to a duplex at 6112 NW Sixth Ct., in a gritty section of Liberty City just west of Interstate 95.

… [T]he detectives knocked on the door, and Simms’ mother let them inside.

Just inside the living room, investigators believe, Simms jumped out of another room, firing his gun.

Haworth was shot in the head inside the home. Beecher was not hit. Castillo was shot dead just outside, in the walkway.

Plasencia, who had been behind the duplex, ran back around and — under fire — shot Simms dead in front of the door.

Well, that’s what we get for giving the blacks Liberty (City).

Black man accused of writing a bad check and murdering five people

One year ago, on June 29, Tampa Police Officers David Curtis (31, three years on the job, married father of four) and Jeffrey Kocab (31, one year on the job, survived by his pregnant wife) were shot and killed by Dontae Morris during a traffic stop (St. Petersburg Times, June 11).

David Curtis and Jeffrey Kocab.

According to the St. Petersburg Times, Morris, now in custody, is accused of murdering a total of five people.

Morris ambushed Derek Anderson at his doorstep when he returned home from doing his laundry on May 18, 2010, apparently because Anderson had argued with him on a basketball court earlier in the day. The night Morris killed the police officers, he believed he was wanted for Anderson’s murder.

Morris killed Rodney “Scarface” Jones outside the Cotton Club bar in West Tampa on May 31, 2010, partly for money, partly for revenge. Jones had flashed thick wads of cash during an oldies karaoke show that night. But detectives said Jones also had once held Morris at gunpoint during a drug ripoff, leaving him stranded on a roadside.

Morris killed drug dealer Harold Wright on June 8, 2010, because Wright was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Wright delivered drugs to Morris for another dealer who was the intended target. Morris decided to kill Wright anyway to “send a message” to the dealer who hadn’t shown up.

Cop-killer Dontae Morris.

According to detectives,

Morris killed Tampa police Officers Jeffrey Kocab and David Curtis during a traffic stop on June 29, 2010, because he thought they were about to arrest him for murder. He was wrong. They wanted to arrest him on a bad-check warrant.

…

No [murder] warrant existed. But detectives said Morris told Price he “had to shoot the officers to get away.” According to Price, when Curtis and Kocab asked Morris to step from the car, he pulled a gun from under the seat and fired point-blank at both officers.

He told Price, “I shot those crackers.”

“I shot those crackers,” said the “nigger.”

How many of you are more upset about the N-word than you are about the two dead “crackers” and the murderer’s clear racial bias?

How do you think black people would answer the same question?

The score so far

• June 2010: black thug shoots and kills two white cops in Tampa
• January 2011: black thug shoots and kills white female cop and (fairly white-looking) Hispanic cop in Miami
• January 2011: black thug shoots and kills two white cops in St. Petersburg
• February 2011: black thug shoots and kills white cop in St. Petersburg

Remember: pattern recognition is racist.

Two St. Pete cops die putting down wild animal (Florida, part 4)

St. Petersburg, Florida: where the only thing more dangerous than black thugs are the politicians who cover for them.

Officer David Crawford’s death on February 21 came less than a month after two other SPPD officers, 14-year veteran Sergeant Tom Baitinger (48, married) and 11-year veteran Officer Jeffrey Yaslowitz (39, married, father of three) were killed in a shootout with registered sex offender Hydra Lacy Jr. (St. Petersburg Times via Miami Herald, January 24; FOX, January 24).

Tom Baitinger and Jeffrey Yaslowitz.

Lacy was wanted for aggravated battery and two other felonies. He had previously been sentenced to 15 years for sexual battery with a weapon or force, five years for false imprisonment and aggravated child abuse, and five years for battery on a law enforcement officer. When police entered the house he was hiding in (having absconded from his known address), Lacy opened fire from the attic, beginning a ten-hour standoff which ended with a bulldozer demolishing the building to reveal his corpse.

Cop-killer Hydra Lacy Jr.

I don’t have a precise scale for measuring the worth of a human being, but if Baitinger and Yaslowitz’s lives averaged out to, say, 115 points, then Hydra Lacy Jr.’s was worth approximately zero. If a speeding train were about to crush a hundred million Hydra Lacy Jr.’s to death, and I had ten seconds to divert the train to kill one white SPPD cop instead, I would check my text messages.

Twice.

Pompous black former police chief skips three cops’ funerals but attends cop-killer’s

St. Petersburg’s first and only black chief of police was a man named Goliath Davis III, Ph.D. (If you ever wondered how blacks who aren’t into bling manage to look ridiculous while trying to seem important…) He held the title from 1997 until 2001, when he retired and became deputy mayor for economic development in Midtown (a black ghetto), a pointless position for which he received $150,000 per year (St. Petersburg Times via tampabay.com, October 5 2009) —

— until he was fired for decidedly vague reasons by Mayor Bill Foster (who also investigates cops for citing crime stats) just two weeks after Crawford’s shooting. Goliath Davis III, Ph.D. claims he got fired just because he skipped the funerals for Sergeant Baitinger and Officers Yaslowitz and Crawford — all shot to death by blacks in the preceding six weeks — and attended the funeral for cop-killer Hydra Lacy Jr. instead, for which Lacy’s family publicly thanked him (TBO, March 4; WTSP, February 10).

I’m not suggesting we should ship all the blacks back to Africa — that would just be crazy — but maybe we should consider it in the case of Goliath Davis III, Ph.D.

Black solidarity: Goliath Davis III, Ph.D. pays his respects to a cop killer.

Since Goliath Davis III, Ph.D. is black, other blacks, and the politicians who pander to them, will brook no criticism of him or his horrible decisions. After his firing, the St. Petersburg Times ran a revealing article, “Firing of Goliath Davis leaves St. Petersburg more divided” (via TBO, March 7). Per Unamusement Park policy, I have noted race wherever it is relevant, which is to say everywhere.

Whatever Goliath Davis III [who is black] chose to do when it came to attending the funerals of the fallen [white] St. Petersburg police officers and [black] killer Hydra Lacy Jr., he needed to ask an important question: What’s best in helping heal and unite the entire community? [But really only the black “community” counts.]

…

However, [white] Mayor Bill Foster clumsily handled Davis’ dismissal, failing to offer assurances that his administration would continue to address Midtown [black] issues.

Meaning he failed to immediately appoint another black to City Hall.

The firing may have been more palatable to the black community if Foster had spent his first year grooming other [black] leaders in his administration who could be new conduits at City Hall.

Called it.

Black State Rep./crackhead stands by cop-killer supporter, worried City Hall will be too white

Black State Representative and former crackhead Darryl Rouson was concerned by Davis’ firing (TBO, March 4): what if it meant more white people in city hall?

Rouson said he’s concerned now for black leadership in city government.

“I don’t want to see a bleached [white] city hall,” he said.

In reality, blacks make up 22 percent of the city’s population and 27 percent of city staff according to payroll records. We should be worried about a darkened City Hall, not a bleached one.

Darryl Rouson used to be addicted to crack. Now he's a State Representative. We'd be safer if he was still a crackhead.

You can read about Rousson’s past in the St. Petersburg Times (via tampabay.com, September 21, 2008):

Rouson’s hometown connections [meaning race], outgoing personality [meaning race] and grass roots activism [meaning race] have helped him. But his critics take umbrage at the seeming ease with which he sidesteps controversies and obstacles [because of his race].

…

He was reprimanded by the Florida Bar for snooping through an opposing counsel’s files during a courtroom recess in 2000.

…

But Rouson’s darkest story is the one that has defined his political career: a 19-year [crack] cocaine addiction that began when he was a law student at the University of Florida.

…

He addresses poor black neighborhoods with street slang, then drives his Mercedes to his 5,469-square-foot home in greater Pinellas Point.

…

Four years ago, Rouson walked into the Purple Haze Tobacco and Accessories Shop on 34th St S and asked for a pipe to smoke crack. When he was asked to leave, he walked behind a display counter and allegedly shook it.

…

A jury convicted Rouson of misdemeanor trespassing, but others praised him.

“It took real courage to really push that aggressively against people who were clearly selling drug paraphernalia,” said council member Karl Nurse, who paid Rouson’s fine. “That’s a rare commodity in politics.”

City Councilman Karl Nurse and Rousson were two of the five top city officials at St. Pete’s secret June crime summit. Nice to see pals sticking together.

You’ve seen the bad. Now for the just plain crazy:

[Rousson] once chained himself to a chair at City Hall when officials didn’t hire him as their first black bond attorney. He has called for the secession of [black ghetto] Midtown and criticized Baker’s polices there.

When a Tampa radio host sought to expose Davis’ evident support for black cop killers and disdain for white police, Rousson — whose personal history, again, includes “drug addiction, bankruptcy, divorce, homelessness, civil disobedience,” and “professional misconduct” (St. Petersburg Times via tampabay.com, September 21, 2008), none of which should be particularly surprising individually, given that he’s black — said the jock’s questions should be dismissed, calling him “a bumbling idiot” (St. Petersburg Times via tampabay.com, February 8).

Yes, more fanatical race loyalty from the historically (and genetically) disadvantaged race that brought you a 96 percent approval rating for Obama, Obama’s contempt for white cops, a standing ovation for a black gang that ambushed and hospitalized a white student, and of course black jurors who won’t convict black rapists and murderers (you know, the “niggers” you’ve heard so much about?), at least not if the victim was white.

Cop-killer’s mother: he didn’t mean to shoot, the gun just fired… five times (Florida, part 3)

St. Petersburg, Florida: where a model cop was investigated for allegedly citing crime stats to the father of an armed-robbery victim, and the property crime rate is over 50 percent in at least one downtown neighborhood. Could it get any worse?

Yes. Yes it could.

February 21, 2011: 16-year-old sophomore Nicholas Lindsey (allegedly) pops the lock on a white Dodge Neon, breaks the steering column with a brick, but can’t get it started. A witness calls 911, and Lindsey flees. Officer David Crawford (46, married with one daughter), a 25-year veteran of the SPPD, responds to the call and spots Lindsey half a block away from the scene of the crime. Crawford calls out to him.

David Crawford.

Lindsey (allegedly) immediately turns and shoots Crawford four times in the chest (missing once) with a .380 pistol, killing him. He then runs to his mother’s apartment, where he is arrested the next day on a first-degree murder charge (Tampa Bay Online, February 24; ODMP).

Cop-killer Nicholas Lindsey.

Lindsey has already confessed to the murder, and is scheduled to stand trial on December 12 (Bay News 9, March 7, June 28). The justice system may consider him innocent until proven guilty, but the day after the murder, Lindsey’s guilt “almost seemed like an open secret” in the community, according to tampabay.com (April 12):

One witness heard two women talking about it in a crab shop on 16th Street S. Another woman heard two drug dealers talking about it. But people are scared and don’t want to be seen talking to police.

…

One neighbor sidled up to one of the backup officers to say they had the right man. Lindsey ran through his back yard the night before as helicopters flew overhead. But don’t question me here, the witness said, not in front of people.

…

Some witnesses who came forward did so fearing retaliation. Others said they felt uneasy after word of their cooperation quickly spread.

…

The day after the teen’s arrest… an upset high school student told his teacher he saw Lindsey return to Citrus Grove the night of the shooting with a gun.

The witness said he knew “someone took care” of the gun and no one will ever find it. But he refused to say more.

The student said he “had to take the secret to the grave,” telling the officer:

“In my neighborhood you don’t snitch.”

According to WTSP, the cop-killer’s (single) mother, Deneen Sweat, blames the gun (February 23):

“[The officer] said, ‘Take your hands out of your pockets,’ and he said he knew he had gun on them. [Nicholas said,] ‘I just tried to break into this car. I took my hands out of my pockets and the gun came out with it.’ He thought the safety was on. It fired and it kept firing and it was jerking. He did not mean to shoot the officer,” she explained.

He didn’t mean to shoot Officer Crawford. He just heard him call out, turned around, stepped forward, reached from his waistband, and upon pointing his hand at the police officer with the notepad, was surprised to find a gun had somehow come out with it. Then the .380 just went ahead and fired, and it kept firing until Crawford had four bullets in his chest (tampabay.com, April 12).

Crawford was the third St. Petersburg cop shot to death in less than a month, and at least the seventh in Florida since June 2010. Here’s a game you can play at home: guess the races of the six other cops, and the three other cop killers. Answers later today.

Mayor: for victims’ sake, cops must not give victims advice (Florida, part 2)

Investigating a model cop for telling the truth about crime: insane? Yes, says Bob Esposito, father of a (white, female) victim of armed robbery:

“I’m shocked,” Esposito said. “His job is to serve and protect, and as far as I’m concerned, he gave me information. I think he did his job. I think he did it very well.”

No, says the (white) mayor of St. Petersburg (WTSP, July 1):

Mayor Bill Foster acknowledged the incident and said he holds SPPD to the highest standard.

“I always want to know my officers are representing this city in a very positive light,” Foster said.

…

“(SPPD) is performing at a very high level,” Foster said. “Do I tout statistics when I’m out in the public? No, because we have too many victims.”

The logic will be familiar to those who followed our coverage of media censorship in the wake of recent black mob violence in Chicago. If white people knew just how likely they were to be attacked by blacks, they might start to worry about being attacked by blacks, which would be racist, which would be the worst thing in the world. So you cops better keep your damn mouths shut! Lie, if you have to. Just make sure no one ever sees the color of crime —

— until it’s too late.

Downtown St. Pete’s property crime rate is 55 percent

One month before Officer Crisco’s run-in with the Mayor’s office, a study based on FBI crime statistics ranked downtown St. Petersburg (guess who lives there) as the eighth most dangerous neighborhood in the nation for property crime (WTSP, June 1). At a rate of 55.4 percent, most neighborhood residents are expected to become victims of property crime over the next year. How do you think the city government reacted to the news, given their policy of “representing this city in a very positive light”?

City officials say they question the studies credibility and are researching how the survey came up with their results.

Two weeks later, City Councilman Karl Nurse, County Commissioner Ken Welch, and State Rep. Darryl Rouson (three of St. Pete’s most powerful leaders) called Mayor Foster and Police Chief Chuck Harmon to “a secret meeting” to discuss “the city’s perceived crime problem” (WTSP, June 15):

Rouson [a former crackhead who wants white people out of city hall — more on that later] said either the city’s improving crime stats were wrong or Harmon needed to do a better job of handling the negative perception.

What prompted the summit? The city’s 11th murder of 2011, matching the total number of murders in 2010, and including three (white) SPPD cops killed in the line of duty. To his credit, Police Chief Harmon did not skip their funerals, unlike (black) former Police Chief Goliath Davis III, Ph.D., who nevertheless found time to pay his respects to the family of one of their (black) killers — more on that later.

Which brings us back to Officer Crisco’s “fallen partner.”

Veteran cop under investigation for allegedly citing crime stats (Florida, part 1)

Today, WTSP News in Tampa Bay reported that “[a] veteran officer with a clean record is being investigated by the St. Petersburg Police Department (SPPD) after he warned the father of a robbery victim about a dangerous part of town” (WTSP, July 1).

Officer Thad “Stu” Crisco, who was recently in headlines for honoring his fallen partner David Crawford [more on that later], allegedly warned St. Petersburg father Bob Esposito about letting his 16-year-old daughter hang around the Northshore Pool at night. Esposito’s daughter was one of five teens robbed by a group of armed men there about 10:30 p.m. on a recent weeknight.

…

Esposito said Crisco cited the city’s violent crime stats — the worst in the state. He faces a possible suspension, even if his comments were true, although his exemplary record with SPPD could help him avoid serious discipline.

Indeed, the table following the article shows that the violent crime rate in St. Petersburg was 1.13 per 100 residents in 2010, higher than Miami (1.11), Orlando (1.07), and Tallahassee (1.03). At that rate, roughly 1 in 88 St. Petersburg residents will be a victim of violent crime each year.

For those of you who don’t get the joke — found in every story like this — I’ll spell it out: from the few facts the article reported, and the many facts they didn’t, we can safely conclude that the armed robbers who attacked Mr. Esposito’s 16-year-old daughter were all black. Their five victims were probably all white. Mr. Esposito certainly is.

Officer Crisco (also white) will be punished because his advice was based on a simple truth the police are not allowed to acknowledge, even obliquely: statistically speaking, the violent crime rate in St. Petersburg is high because of blacks.

Not poverty. Not unemployment. Not the schools. Simply, demonstrably blacks. And white people are starting to notice that the “dangerous part of town” is wherever the blacks live, and a dangerous city* is one that’s full of black people.

Simply put, “[w]hen blacks are left entirely to their own devices, Western Civilization — any kind of civilization — disappears” (Jared Taylor).

* Recall the four most violent cities in Florida: St. Petersburg is 22.4 percent black; Miami, 22.3 percent; Orlando, 26.9 percent; Tallahassee, 34.2 percent; and the state of Florida as a whole, 14.6 percent.
