Media Ignores Black On White Crime

In West Point, MS, a former U.S. Marine went into a Waffle House late at night with a friend of his. As he went in a white man warned him not to enter because he is black. He went in anyway and was immediately set upon by whites and jeered at. He and his friend left the Waffle House and went down the street to a nearly vacant Huddle House. A crowd of white men followed them to the Huddle House and attacked them in the parking lot while screaming racial slurs. He was kicked in the head numerous times sustaining serious injuries and was rushed to the hospital where he was placed in a medically induced coma. His friend sustained broken bones in his face, a laceration over his left eye and a blood clot in his right eye.

The West Point Chief of Police Tim Brinkley, who is white, said the attack by the mob was not a […] → Keep reading

Oklahoma City’s KFOR-TV Posts Anti-Police Video On Website

Over the weekend the news team at KFOR here in Oklahoma City posted a video to their website that has generated a lot of angry comments on their Facebook page for the video.

If you haven’t watched the video yet, please do so before reading the rest of my post. It is only two minutes long.. .

KFOR posted this video to their news site under the headline – “Incredibly moving video reveals last words of those shot, killed by police”

Aside from the fact that this video is not ‘news’ or ‘reporting’ it is blatantly inflammatory and anti-police. It is also presented with no back stories, fact checking or commentary of any kind. And it is highly misleading.

Let’s take these deaths one at a time and see what the truth is. KFOR should have done this but they didn’t. Shame on them.

Media Culpability In Ferguson

Some of the most outrageous and irresponsible behavior in Ferguson has come, not from the looters, not from the racist charlatans Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, not from the black version of the KKK – the New Black Panthers, not from the black residents who proceeded to destroy their own community and not from the out-of-towners who came in to incite violence and more looting. And certainly not from the police. While all the aforementioned persons, aside from the police, are guilty of vandalism, arson, incitement, theft, assault and numerous other crimes, the most outrageous and irresponsible behavior I have seen taking place in Ferguson is coming from the media. While I am not aware of anyone in the media committing any crime in Ferguson, with their tactics, their irresponsible reporting and just with their presence they are the gasoline being thrown onto the fire. Yes, yes, they have the First Amendment right to freedom of the press. But with […] → Keep reading

Looters and Liberals: Parasites With a Common Goal

While watching the news from the St. Louis area unfold last night I could not help but draw some comparisons between the looting and destruction going on and the liberalism that has infested our country. If you have missed it on the news, a black teenager named Michael Brown was shot and killed on Saturday by police in Ferguson, MO, which is a suburb community on the north side of the St. Louis metro area. Currently, there are conflicting accounts of exactly what happened that led to Brown’s death, with some saying he was surrendering with his arms raised and was shot by police anyway while others say Brown fought with a police officer and attempted to get control of his weapon, being shot by the officer in self-defense. The St. Louis Police Department is conducting an independent investigation and I read this morning that the Federal Bureau of Investigation may be asked to investigate. No word at press time […] → Keep reading
