I also recognize that disasters like Katrina in NO will happen and if the winds of chaos are active,, we can regress overnight.

Many thanks, JJ. Great post.

I must admit, I feel like this entire story was manipulated, packaged, and distributed to create a distraction. SCOTUS is currently looking at the ObamaCare. It's a very 'Alinsky-ite' tactic...

Keep buying ammo, folks.

You might wish to check into the facts behind what became known in '65 as the Watts riots. While there was a litany of other socio-economic issues to be addressed* it frankly wouldn't have likely escalated if the young man's mom hadn't intervened while he was being peacably arrested for drunk driving (and admitted it) - so mom got hooked up as well after she jumped on the officer and began beating his head. Not very civil-rightish - just bad behavior but civil rights sure plays good as an excuse, then and now. The same types of groups we see today shortly offered bounties on the CHP officer involved. 34 dead, 25 of them black. I suppose war depends on which end of the Molatov cocktail you're on.

I do distinctly remember the smoke visible above the Santa Monica hills and that M2AP was $5/100, a bit more if already in bandos.

For those of us outside California, you must be a bit more specific. There've been SOOO many of those.

Edmund G. "Pat" Brown; you've probably heard of his son Jerry....


Thanks to God and the United States Army for my ticket out of that porcelain whirlpool. Ain't never been back. (I don't count quick return thru Oakland long enough to claim my duffel and find another airplane ASAP...)

Are you crazy? They were probably rushing in to be the first in line to apply for a job.

You did at that, and Blacks do have a history in this country of deadly rioting when they don't get the answer they want and opportunity presents itself. I have seen similar rioting quite a few times sense that day. Or maybe that is just biased reporting on the part of the media like the coverage of Reginald Denney being pulled from his truck and getting a brick to the face and Korean Store owners shooting at looters. Or the reporting of how fearful California was of rioting if the OJ Simpson case didn't swing in his favor.

That is not intended to sarcastic.....California is a long way from Kansas and I am asking the question are those events fact or fiction? My other question is whether there are other ethnic groups in the past 40 years that frequently engage in deadly riots within the US?

Back to Kansas City April 1968....


If you ask older people in Kansas City why the 1968 riot happened you get one of two simple answers (at least from those I have spoken to and overheard), one is that the Blacks were upset Dr. King was killed. The other is that Activists/Agitators decided to have a protest on the day of his funeral, many in the community thought the event was disrespectful, the Police interceded and a riot ensued.


The Kansas City Library has this to say about the riot:

And Then It Happened

April 3, 2009

April 9, 1968: With tensions high after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., riots break out in Kansas City, leaving seven people dead and nearly 100 buildings damaged.

Frustrated with the slow pace of civil rights reforms and outraged at the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., protestors turned to violence in Kansas City on April 9, 1968. The riots shocked many residents of the city, which had long been known for its lack of racial violence despite its deep, underlying racial tensions. The assassination of King, perhaps the nation's leading exemplar of non-violent methods to bring about social change, ironically became the catalyst that brought simmering racial tensions to the point of civil disorder, not just in Kansas City, but in locales around the country.

As with most major American cities, Kansas City's population had been deeply segregated since the early 20th century. Some of the earliest organized civil rights protests in Kansas City occurred during World War II when the members of the black community protested their exclusion from employment in war industries. By 1942, these protests, combined with a genuine need for labor and fairer federal policies, won the desegregation of factories supporting the war effort in the metropolitan area.

In the 1950s other civil rights victories ensued. Taking a cue from national organizations such as the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), the locally-based Community Committee for Social Action successfully led non-violent boycotts and protests against downtown Kansas City businesses in order to desegregate lunch counters.

Between 1960 and 1964, desegregation occurred in Kansas City's public parks, bars, swimming pools, golf courses, hotels, restaurants, and institutions of higher education. Mayor Ilus Davis boasted of the city's "unusually peaceful breakdown of racial segregation." Despite the contentious debates then swirling around Kansas City race politics, no race riots had broken out here as they had in most other major U.S. cities by the mid-1960s.

Unfortunately, one perpetual trouble underlay what on the surface appeared to be a peaceful integration process. Local civil rights organizations, including Kansas City's Freedom Inc., demanded the desegregation of residential neighborhoods and an end to discriminatory practices in mortgage lending and rental policies. Even as these activists succeeded in putting this housing issue to a referendum vote planned for April 1968, the local civil rights movement shortly splintered due to disagreement over the militancy necessary to press for these reforms.

Younger blacks were less willing than their elders to wait for white politicians and largely-white electorates to deliver reforms that had already been delayed for decades. On April 9, 1968, between 200 and 300 of these black youths gathered near City Hall to demand the closure of the city's schools to commemorate the day of King's funeral. Mayor Davis actually joined the protestors in their march. Despite Davis' involvement with this peaceful demonstration, the Kansas City police shot tear gas and dispersed the crowd. By most accounts, the protestors at city hall never really became violent.

After the police attack on the city hall protesters, angry blacks proceeded to vandalize and burn white-owned businesses. Within two days, a three-block wide section of town running down Prospect Avenue lay in ruins. Over 1,700 National Guard troops joined 700 policemen in putting down the riot. For two nights bullets flew from both parties as police and firemen battled to maintain order and put out fires. Nearly 300 arrests were made, mostly of young black males. Tragically, seven black citizens died in the violence.

Eager to avoid more unrest, the city council expediently reformed its housing ordinances to desegregate housing sales and rentals. This eliminated the need to hold the previously scheduled referendum vote that might have ignited even more public debates and protests. Since the peak of tensions in April 1968, Kansas City race relations have fortunately improved, even though many of the underlying issues are still not fully resolved.

Then and as now, militants and activists not willing to wait for due process and riling people up for their own agendas.

A New Black Panther Party leader who announced a $10,000 reward for the capture of the neighborhood watchman who shot and killed Florida teen Trayvon Martin was arrested Monday outside Atlanta for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, DeKalb County Sheriff’s office said.

Hashim Nzinga, 49, was in possession of an FN Herstal 5.7x28 handgun that he allegedly sold to the Stone Mountain Pawn Shop on March 5 in DeKalb County, Sgt. Adrion Bell, the public information officer, told FoxNews.com.

Last month, Nzinga was convicted for felony deposit account fraud in nearby Gwinnett County, Bell said. It is illegal for a convicted felon to carry a firearm in the state and police were alerted to Nzinga’s alleged possession after the store’s transaction, Bell said.

He was arrested without incident at the probation office he was reporting to, Bell said.

The FN Herstal 5.7x28 is considered a high-end gun that can fetch $800 to $900 at a pawn shop. It is unclear how much Nzinga made from the alleged sale.

Nzinga serves as the New Black Panther Party’s chief of staff. He recently made news after going on CNN and offering a $10,000 reward for the capture of George Zimmerman, whose role in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin is being investigated by Florida authorities.

Martin’s killing has attracted the country’s attention. Black leaders say the incident was racially motivated and call for Zimmerman to be arrested. Others, however, say the killer is protected under Florida’s “stand your ground” law and was acting in self-defense.

Holder might be a little dim but he can be decisive...some say this rapid decision making is because Holder sees all things as either black or white.

So Spike Lee thinks it's ok to Tweet the supposed address of Zimmerman to his 200,000 followers. That in itself is bad enough. But, as it turns out, he relayed the INCORRECT address...so now some unsuspecting woman in Florida has to fear for her own safety. Spike Lee should shut up and be forced to pay up to provide 24 hour security for this woman in Florida.
