Black Mobs Targeting Whites
April 18, 2010 by Ironlight
The startling failure on the part of law enforcement and mainstream news media, nationwide, to inform, and therefore equally protect, White citizens from potential threats of clearly racially-motivated mob/gang violence, ought to be taken dead seriously. In incident after bloody incident, the crucial factor of race in violent Black on White crime — both the race of the assailant(s) and the race of the victim(s) — is strategically glossed over if not wholly suppressed. This is vital data — data which might quite literally save lives — and it is knowingly, deliberately suppressed on a continual basis. The aggressors are vaguely, and rather misleadingly, referred to as "teens" or "youths." Victims are referred to in the same grey language. Detroit Sheriff Mark Hackel reluctantly admits (further below) that Whites are "an unprotected class" with reference to equal protection under the law. I have little doubt that he might have spoken more freely on the subject if these were different times… But in this despicable age when Political Correctness trumps the supreme law of the land, job-security hangs in the balance each time one speaks candidly about race. The message ought ring increasingly clear, reader. We had better learn to protect ourselves and our loved ones. Self-reliance is the aim, and awareness is armament. -W.
Another Flash Mob Rocks South Street
Kitty Caparella & Stephanie Farr, Philadelphia Daily News, March 22, 2010
Business owners yesterday called on Mayor Nutter to stop "flash mobs" on South Street after patrons couldn't shop, dine or get home on Saturday night because of the hordes of teens roaming the neighborhood.
Inspired by Twitter messages to "come to South Street," police say hundreds—business owners say thousands—of young teens stampeded down South Street in waves, jumping on top of cars, knocking over pedestrians and fighting and cursing.
{snip}
Saturday's was the sixth flash mob to hit the city since last May: three on South Street; two in the Gallery, including one that spread to Macy's; and one along Market Street East that spread to the area near City Hall.
Several store owners and managers documented the stampede with cell phones or store surveillance tape.
A pizza shop owner said that some in the mob were chanting, "Black Boys!" and "Burn the city."
One youth was overheard on his cell phone saying: "Bring baseball bats to South Street."
But the mood turned ominous as more and more teens showed up by 8 p.m. Between 9 and 10 p.m. the packed crowds reached a crescendo, according to police officials who deployed highway patrol, narcotics strike force and other units to assist officers on South Street. A parent, who had seen a text message or a post on Facebook, alerted police about the potential flash mob.
One armed owner, who showed the Daily News his gun permit, protected his business by standing outside with five assistants.
At Supper, a restaurant in the 900 block, bartender Kyle Fennie opened the locked door to let two woman customers out, but a mass of teens descended, and he let the women back inside. During a lull, he walked them to their cars.
About 10 p.m., police fanned out at either 2nd or 3rd Street and gradually moved the crowds west on South ot Broad. Kids started running at top speed, with some going around the block, and coming up behind the cops.
About 10:30 p.m. on South near 6th, Olympia Pizza II employee Seth Kaufman, 20, was in front of the pizza shop, trying to prevent kids from coming inside to fight with young customers who were eating.
As the crowd pushed the door to get inside, Kaufman pushed back. The crowd pushed again, and inside, the owners, 66-year-old Peter Psihogios, his wife, Harula, 58, and son Paul, 30, were pushing back on the store's double glass doors to keep them shut.
Kaufman said that kids slugged him, and he slugged them back, and then he was jumped, with kids kicking and punching him until he fell.
The elder Psihogios tried to bring Kaufman inside, but he was punched in the head.
Kaufman has bruises all over his body from face to legs.
"He saved our establishment from them coming in," said Paul Psihogios. "We owe him a lot of gratitude."
Police said the incident was over by 1 a.m.
No property damage was reported but two juveniles and an adult were arrested in four incidents, police said. They included:
* About 11 p.m. a 27-year-old woman was walking on South near 15th when a large group of male and female juveniles ganged up on her, kicking and punching her until she fell to the ground, where they continued to kick her in the face and head. She was taken to Hahnemann University Hospital, where she was treated for bruises, abrasions and a large laceration on her upper lip. She has since been released. No arrests were made.
Flash Mob Victim's Untold Story
By Alfred Lubrano
Source: www.Philly.com
A victim of Philadelphia's March 20 flash mob, Anna Taylor was referred to in media reports only as the 27-year-old woman injured on South Street.
Little was known or said about her.
That will change Wednesday night, as people gather in a Frenchtown, N.J., restaurant for a benefit for Taylor, an uninsured waitress who faces $7,000 in medical and dental bills after being punched in the face by a youth still being sought by Philadelphia police.
Taylor, who is separated and lives in Chalfont with a son, 9, and a daughter, 3, said she has thought a great deal about the punch—"the shock," "the blinding pain," and "the heartbreak that a teenager hit me in the face for no reason."
The blow that Taylor absorbed was so powerful that she lost a front tooth and its root, and the roots of nearby teeth still may die, her dentist told her. The punch also split her upper lip so severely that much of it was hanging from her face and she was unable to speak, Taylor said.
Taylor's mother, Peggy, a Germantown social worker, said her daughter needed so many stitches inside and outside her mouth at Hahnemann University Hospital after the assault that "we just couldn't count them."
The mob took over South Street that warm Saturday night, the first of spring, as though popping up from nowhere, witnesses said. It seemed to be following the patterns of three similar mobs that had quickly assembled in Center City on March 3, Feb. 16, and Dec. 18.
[T]he young man who hit Taylor was laughing as he punched her and said, "Bam, there's another one," according to Taylor. "It was frightening."
Taylor and her boyfriend, John Kemp, 35, had been walking about 10:20 p.m. on 15th Street between Kater and South Streets toward the Tritone bar to hear friends' bands play there, Kemp said Tuesday night.
Kemp, a house painter from Warminster, was hit twice in the head by another young man, but did not suffer a serious injury, he said.
"The two of them thought punching us was funny," Kemp said. "I don't know what was in their heads to hit two people they didn't know."
Taylor's attacker was described by Philadelphia Police Lt. Frank Vanore as an 18-year-old black male. The case is still active, he added.
As though echoing the social worker in her mother, Taylor said, "This is the worst part of it: that Philadelphia youth are doing this with their time. I'd like to see some help for these kids."
Accustomed to visiting Philadelphia, Taylor said, "I'm trying not to allow this to change the way I think about the city. I don't want to be afraid."
Recently, Taylor returned to the city to hear Kemp play in a band. "I was scared," she admitted. "But no one got hurt that night."
Peggy Taylor said that her daughter, a size 2 who has lost 15 pounds since the attack, would require several surgeries and need a year to mend.
But, she added, "Our biggest concern is what direction Philadelphia's children are getting. What is the world heading toward?
"My daughter will heal. She will repair in every way. But what will happen to these kids?"
Town Wraps Arms Around Victim of Flash Mob

The Intelligencer
After being attacked by a flash mob last month, Anna Taylor of Chalfont is getting help from friends and strangers alike.
FRENCHTOWN, N.J. – Until she offers her warm, soft smile, no one could know Anna Taylor suffered a brutal assault last month at the hands of a flash mob in Philadelphia.
With an empty space where one of her front teeth should be, the diminutive Chalfont woman recalled the balmy March 20 night when she and her boyfriend were walking down South Street to hear a friend's band.
"There were a lot of kids, a lot, and we got uncomfortable," said the 27-year-old Wednesday night, as the Frenchtown restaurant where she is a waitress filled with customers who came to help with her mounting medical bills.
"Within moments there were hundreds running in our direction. We were cornered into an area where there was construction by two guys," remembered Taylor.
First, her boyfriend, John Kemp of Warminster, was punched twice in the head, suffering a concussion. Then she was hit in the face with a blow so punishing it tore her mouth apart and knocked out her front tooth and its root. The roots of several other teeth could also die, explained Taylor.
For the single, uninsured mother of a 9-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter, the $7,000 in medical bills is her newest fear.
But Taylor finds herself surrounded with two-fold support – the close-knit community of Frenchtown and the Lovin' Oven, the restaurant where she's worked for two years.
"There's a lot of positive things coming out of this," said Taylor. "The community is like a safety net," she said, her hands forming a circle. "I feel fortunate to be a part of it."
Lovin' Oven owners, Julie Klein and Mike Quinn, are donating a percentage of Wednesday's income to help Taylor with her costs. The wait staff kicked in all its tips and hourly employees contributed their wages. Frenchtown guitarist David Cahill provided the music.
Pat Klein, mother of Julie Klein, said she was moved by Taylor's strength.
"I feel Anna is amazing. She's so resilient."
As word of the benefit spread through Facebook, Phoebe Lara, 25, said she showed up even though she doesn't really know Taylor.
"I know what it's like to not have health insurance. It adds a lot more stress to everything." And, she, said, "I heard about these mobs and it's very scary."
Philadelphia police described Taylor's attacker as an 18-year-old male, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. The case is still active. Similar flash mobs caused mayhem in Center City on Dec. 18, and Feb. 16.

Don't Ignore Racial Aspect of Plaza Mobs
Yael T. Abouhalkah, Kansas City Star, April 13, 2010
The out-of-control teens who terrorized parts of the Country Club Plaza Saturday night were mostly black youths.
Stating that factually disturbs some people, who would rather use euphemisms such as "urban" youth or some such words.
The kids who showed up Saturday night came from schools that included—but were not limited to—Raytown and Westport highs, according to police. Both schools have high populations of black students.
Why are the black kids going to the Plaza?
I certainly don't have all the answers, but one obvious reason: That's where the crowd of mostly white adults hangs out.
And the youth know their presence will be disturbing to people who aren't used to seeing so many black kids in one place.

KC Police Brace for Return of Unruly Youths to Plaza
Christine Vendel and Joyce Smith, Kansas City Star, April 12, 2010
Kansas City police say they will be ready if hundreds of unruly youths show up again this weekend at the Country Club Plaza.
And they think that could happen.
"We've been getting information that they'll be back again," Capt. Donna Greenwell said.
Police Chief Jim Corwin said his staff planned to meet with the Plaza Merchant's Association, NAACP and others to find the best solution. Police also want to educate parents that the Plaza isn't suitable for unattended children to roam freely at night.
Greenwell said police were expecting trouble last weekend, but not of the magnitude that was delivered when as many as 900 juveniles swarmed the Plaza streets and sidewalks. Police think texting and social media played a role in the wave of youths.
Police had 21 extra officers in place Saturday beyond the usual number of officers and Plaza security guards, but they were quickly outnumbered.
The youths "were destroying property, pushing people as they walked down the sidewalk and spitting on people," Greenwell said. "It was just mass chaos and mayhem."
Greenwell said she thought the youths showed up to cause problems.
Youths maliciously pushed a high school student wearing her prom dress into a restaurant patio fountain. Other youths knocked down, beat up and robbed a Grandview couple, stealing her purse and his eyeglasses.
A fight in a parking lot left a 16-year-old boy with a broken jaw and serious head injuries.
Juveniles approached diners on the patio of the Cheescake Factory who had to-go boxes and grabbed the food, tossing the boxes into fountains, police said.
Police said they noticed a "mass exit" of paying customers from the Plaza about 10 p.m.
Earlier problems
A growing number of youths had begun loitering on the Plaza in recent weeks with trouble erupting Easter weekend.
Police estimated 300 to 500 youths gathered April 3, caused fights and displayed gang signs. Police used pepper spray to break up several fights. Officers arrested a 17-year-old in a car with a gun.
Police said they also learned last week that youths were using social media Web sites to organize and encourage friends to gather Saturday night on the Plaza. They heard Saturday morning from some area high school officials that there might be trouble on the Plaza.
The department sent additional officers to the Plaza about 6 p.m. Saturday to break up any gatherings of youths before they got too big. But as the night went on, the crowd of kids, mostly ages 11 to 17, swelled.
Then about 200 to 300 juveniles left the theater and were joined by other youths who were either dropped off by parents or arrived by bus.
Fights and stampedes
Fights broke out, youths stampeded down the streets, and groups blocked entrances and exits to businesses, police said. A 16-year-old girl suffered abrasions when she was trampled during one stampede.
At Pennsylvania Avenue and Nichols Road, the Grandview couple, in their 20s, said a group of 15 young males accosted them and knocked a cup of coffee out of the woman's hand. The juveniles hit the woman, knocking her to the ground. They stole her purse and kicked and punched the man until the woman threw herself on top of him to protect him. The man suffered minor cuts and swelling, police said.
People could not walk down the sidewalk, and traffic could not flow because of the crowds. The horse carriage ride that operates on the Plaza had to shut down.
Police arrested a 15-year-old boy after he lifted up his shirt and showed what appeared to be a gun to various teenagers across the street with whom he was arguing. Police recovered a toy gun from the boy's waistband.
Some youths grabbed flowers and tried to ruin landscaping, police said.
Police said a large fight broke out in the Winstead's parking lot and officers found a teen lying on the asphalt with a large bruise to his forehead and side of his head. He could barely speak. They think the victim was hit in the head with a pipe.
In addition to the crimes police observed, they received about 35 calls for help, mostly for disturbances and fighting.
THE FLASH MOB DILEMMA
Kansas City police weren't calling Saturday night's mayhem a "Flash mob," which is a mass gathering organized through texting and social media such as Facebook and Twitter.
But flash mobs have caused problems in some cities.
Generally, flash mobs have been used in other cities to spur public-art performances, fundraising efforts, marketing ploys, sporting events and other community activities.
