What we have here is a failure to communicate.

yah yah yah, same old song and dance. The failure is one way. They say, we do. When we say, they ignore. Right?

So why do we allow it. These are Public servants if I recall correctly. And yet we do nothing.

NOTHING

And I hate to pull race into it but there is more than a little racism going on in this country. It has come full circle.

Even the Attorney General called when he said we were cowards of discussing the race card. He said it, the media played it off (in true fashion I might add) and yet, the race card is there for all to see but NO ONE really ever brings it out in the light.


Actually, it is out in the light. Frequently. and of course gets great coverage but no one ever really does anything except put bandaids on the mess (read; payoff to someone)

For example. The Rodney King riots. The Cincinnati Riots. The list is actually quite long but they all revolve around one point. RACE. (I want to make one point here, the source is questionable at best in its portrayal of all sides. Seems rather biased to me. Of course it is Wiki)

When was the last time you ever heard of a group of Whites that got angry over one of 'their own' getting up in arms, rioting, burning their neighborhoods, looting, and being complete jackasses, all because the LEO was 'the other color'? Heck, the last time I heard of whites rioting was because they won a danged basketball game (or something like that) and all they did was bust up a couple of cars and run crazy for a couple of hours.

Now we have "Flash Mobs".

United States

In the United States, in 2009 and 2010, the city of Philadelphia experienced a wave of flash mobs that either started with the intent or led to the destruction of private property, rioting, violence, and personal injury.^[16] As a result, police used pepper spray to disperse crowds and arrests were made.^[34][35] Law makers and lobbyists in the city are pursuing enacting bylaws to counter flash mobs by extending curfew hours, limiting the hours of bus passes, and holding parents more accountable for the actions of their children.^[16] Bill Wasik has expressed "surprise by the new focus of some of the gatherings" and called it "terrible that these Philly mobs have turned violent".^[16]

While Flashmobs are NOT, repeat NOT, racial (they started out as a form of 'artistic expression') They are being used with racism attached to it. The Philly incidents are the only ones I know of, I am sure there are or will be, others.

Now, we have incidents of blacks being killed or beaten by white cops with the result being rioting and systemic failure in those areas. This has seen a downturn lately but thats not to say it isn't brewing in some other location now.

But what happens, when a Hispanic man is gunned down by a stack of LEO's in his own home for the simple act of defending his family? Do the other hispanics/latinos/spanish speaking races RIOT?
Not that I have heard of.

This guy was a Marine in the highest order; two tours over seas in active combat. Do you see Marines going out and rioting over his death?
I would seriously doubt it (Marines tend to take stuff like this personally and react in very personal ways: not by rioting. Think about that one Pima Co Sheriffs Department. ya might want to watch the skylines a bit more.)

But you have to consider the ramifications of what really happens when enough people get angry and say "ENOUGH".

Why have we, not as a race of middle aged white guys, but every one; white black, yellow, brown red, all AMERICAN CITIZENS, not stood up and said ENOUGH? There have been riots over 19 year old punks with a rap sheet a mile long. But not one over a Combat vet doing what was RIGHT? Where the hell is the logic in that? Please, someone tell me. If its there, I sure am a dense one as I do not see it.

I hear everyone of us, at one point or another say, "I don't want to advocate violence here,,,," and THAT is part of our problem. Since when has Violence NOT been the deterrent in ANY political factor? Think about that one for a minute. Look at the Healthcare bill. Do you see any violence IN IT? no? How about that whole fine issue, followed by jail time. Is that not a form of violence. Legalized theft? Legalized Hostage taking? IF you continue to push it; Do you think for an instant that there won't be a "stack" lined up in your bushes waiting for you at some point? VIOLENCE is POLITICS is WAR is LIFE.

There isn't one thing "fair" about this life, and there are a few that are going to find out the hard way. We are born in pain and blood and hopefully, we can leave on much easier terms. But the way the future rolls, I highly doubt it.

The shit storm that is brewing is, more than likely, not going to be ONLY economic or systemic failure. I believe that there will be more than a bit of racial tension to make the whole mess quite explosive.
