Did anyone catch this over the weekend? Obviously this is disturbing but it brings to mind 'wilding' types of incidents that we have seen in the city in the past. Kids without jobs and time on their hands can get caught up in bad situations.

Horror at Wisconsin State Fair: Youth gangs start series of racially-charged incidents

wisn.comWitnesses said that dozens of young males started a series of incidents at the state fair. Related NewsSuspect arrested in attack on Milwaukee mayor Tom BarrettMarauding youth gangs invaded the opening night at the Wisconsin State Fair, starting a series of racially-charged incidents inside and outside the annual attraction, witnesses said.

Dozens of young black males were responsible for the Thursday night violence that brought police to the scene as the fair closed down around 11 p.m., according to the witnesses.

"It looked like they were going after white guys, white people," fair visitor Norb Roffers of Wind Lake, Wisc., told WTMJ-AM.

Another eyewitness, who was at the fair with his wife, daughter and other family members, said he was the target of several racial remarks from a group of about 50 black youths.

"There was an incredible mob mentality," the witness told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "We felt threatened. Without a doubt."

The man and his family ducked inside a game booth along the fair Midway when the fighting started. Some witnesses said there were as many as 300 youths involved.

A Marquette University employee said she was driving home at the end of the night when the teens began running toward cars stopped in traffic outside the fairgrounds.

"Some kids ran up on the car in front of us, bounced on it and jumped off," she told the Journal-Sentinel. "The guy looked like he got out of the car. When he came back, his face was bloody."

Solution.

Glock with evil 33 round extended assault clips.

50 person mob, what 50 person mob?

On a more serious note, black youths targeting white people was the same manner of thinking responsible for the entire political career of that see you next tuesday carolyn mccarthy, and the good majority of gun control in NY as we know it today.
How many employed taxpayers with families do you think you would find in a mob? I get the mob/herd mentality but I wonder what the socio-economic makeup is of those that you find in the 'mobs'? :-/
Hate Crime
pure and simple.

reverse the races and we'll see how far the "shocking" "hatred" etc goes.

If a group of 30-20-10-or even 5 whites did this to a black family at the fair the coverage would be far different.
The attacks are wrong regardless of the race of the offenders and victims.

If a group of 30 youths attacked citizen X - I see a very strong argument for lethal force.

my .02 cents
They must have been on their way to do some community service.
Gotta say it, If the races were reversed, this would be all over every media outlet!
Savages.

You gots bidnes to take care of man. Y'kno what Im sayin? Youse to busy for scrool maaan! Y'kno what Im sayin?
This has not covered by any of the big news papers or the network news channels, you can read all about it on the DrudgeReport.com, the whole country is going down hill fast. Where was the president over the weekend as the credit rating went down? Who will he blame that on?
don't think it can't happen here on LI. and to think someone, in another thread asked "what does a civilian need an AK/AR for?"

um, yeah. right. you were saying? ;)

flash mobs are on the increase. throw in a little economic collapse and/or some of other catastrophe. sprinkle generously with "entitlement mentality", top it off with a touch of racial tension....

We already know the answer to that. It's the fault of Bush and the Tea Party (whom Biden refers to as 'terrorists'). The Obumbles administration has GOT to go. 2013 can't come soon enough!

Sorry for the topic drift, but _surely_ the party that decried the use of martial language after the Gifford shooting wouldn't resort to name calling now?

Oops, guess they did. http://larrycorreia.wordpress.com/2011/08/05/the-new-tone/

Personally I have nothing against a military metaphor, but I do have something against hypocrisy.
Time for the rise of the militia.
They were just ACORN trainees. ??)
no i missed, that's because i watch the lame stream media.....
It's sad a frustrating when situations become racially driven. It's too bad group mentality can convolute the minds of typically rational people. It's also sad that it's true that if the races were reversed this would be a much bigger issue, an this is coming from someone of native american, Hawaiian and Latino decent. We need to look at eachother as men and women and no more, no less. A united front is always more powerful, we need a concious militia, who's with me LOL =P
The thing with mobs is they are started from a innocuous group that goes out of control. It could be a softball team, soccer moms, a bunch of drunks in a bar or any group of kids of a certain ethnic background going from relatively subdued but tense group to an angry mob in a heartbeat. In areas that are financially challenged there can be lots of tension ready to boil over with the slightest provocation. If you have a president promoting class warfare it will not end well.
Mayor Nutter deserves our support in dealing with what appears to be the US version of what is going in in the UK.
While I recommend this whole video, at the least, go to 3:10 and see his call-out.
You don't have to be a "survivalist" to recognize that the veneer is under strain. The cracks will be along racial, religious and economic lines. This happens to be African-American, the next one will be some other pressure point.
At the same time, written references to solving the problem through firepower only plays into the anti-gun media which are extracted from forums like these and used against responsible gun owners in the public eye.
The correct response, in my eye, is to support those few elected officials that have managed to retain their sense of propriety and are speaking out.
At the same time, you can't help but observe the increase numbers of new shooters at the store seeking advice and at the range having a friend familiarize them with their new 16" and 18" purchases.

City officials in Philadelphia and Milwaukee (including Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, left) have ripped the mask off flash mobs and denounced not "inner city youths" or "teens," as the media describe the perpetrators, but violent young black men and teenagers.

Black flash mobs have ransacked cities and attacked by-standers, who are often whites, in cities across this country in what appears to be a summer of rage. The mobs have targeted merchants and pedestrians in Chicago, Philadelphia, Madison, Milwaukee, Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles and other cities.

As well, the race of the victims show that the attacks are racial.
FINALLY a non bullshit PC response that actually calls it like it is.

Its plain black and white here, no pun intended. If only we were able to adaquately deal with this problem without having everyone scream racism.
