Single arrest in Norfolk mob beating
I absolutely hate to link to World Net Daily, but in this incident, they seem to be the only ones reporting it (which makes the report mildly suspicious all by itself). But at their link, sent to us by Hondo, they’re reporting that Norfolk police have made a single arrest in the case of the mob beating of two Virginian-Pilot reports we talked about yesterday.
Police arrested the suspect this morning, but authorities will not release his name due to his age. According to the Virginian-Pilot, he has been charged with throwing a missile at a vehicle, a felony, as well as two counts of simple assault by mob, destruction of property and participation in a riot, all misdemeanors.
But at a press conference today, interim Norfolk Police Chief Sharon Chamberlin said the department is not investigating the case as a hate crime.
“At no time in our investigation or in statements taken from the victims did it appear this assault was racially motivated,” she said.
Oh, wait, I finally found the article in the Virginian-Pilot;
[Interim Norfolk Police Chief Sharon] Chamberlin added that police believe only a few people were involved in the attack.
“It is important to clarify that 30 people did not carry out the assault,” she said. “There was a large group in the vicinity, but our investigation and the statements of the victims show that no more than a handful of people were involved.”
Of course, that statement is for the tourists since the beating happened in a popular entertainment district.
It’s also important to “clarify” that 30 people did not stop the “juveniles” from assaulting two people, nor did they hold the suspects for the police. And, how many, exactly, interim chief, is “a handful”?
The comments to the Virginian-Pilot story are worth looking at. The paper is getting absolutely (and IMO, justifiably) raked over the coals by the vast majority of those commenting. And the Norfolk PD aren’t faring too much better.
I read an article from the Examiner. It said that there were a 100 black people which beat these reporters. That said, I’ve been to the Scope in downtown Norfolk and I’ve NEVER felt safe there. Parts of Norfolk are a cesspool of ne’er do wells and other people I don’t care to be around just for my own safety. It’s been that way since the 70s. Norfolk PD is a joke, too. They spend their time harassing Sailors for the most part.
FYI…. within 100yds of the Norfolk Scope/Chrysler Theater there are HUNDREDS of “project” apts/row houses… your tax dollars at work!
Someone wrote in to Bill O’Riley last night and pointed out that the owner of the Pilot is an undersecretary of HUD. The newspaper editors also said that they don’t normally cover simple assault cases in the paper, thus the beating of two of their own staff is a non-event. Oh, and the police now say that it was a “clerical error” for someone to have marked the “racially motivated – yes” box on the report form. Un huh.
If it had been a hundred whites that assaulted a black couple, then this would be all over the news and Obama would be saying that the couple were like his . But, because this is black on white violence, it is not a hate crime and should not be investigated. I guess they just got what was coming to them.
Remember the recent kerfuffle caused by National Review’s John Derbyshire when he wrote an article called “The Talk: Non-black Edition,” which had some rather biased things to say about blacks?
A small cohort of blacks—in my experience, around five percent—is ferociously hostile to whites and will go to great lengths to inconvenience or harm us. A much larger cohort of blacks—around half—will go along passively if the five percent take leadership in some event. They will do this out of racial solidarity, the natural willingness of most human beings to be led, and a vague feeling that whites have it coming.
Avoid concentrations of blacks not all known to you personally.
Stay out of heavily black neighborhoods.
(10c) If planning a trip to a beach or amusement park at some date, find out whether it is likely to be swamped with blacks on that date (neglect of that one got me the closest I have ever gotten to death by gunshot).
Do not attend events likely to draw a lot of blacks.
If you are at some public event at which the number of blacks suddenly swells, leave as quickly as possible.
Seems rather prophetic now, doesn’t it?
The Virginia Pilot didn’t report the incident because its owner was in short-final for an appointment as Under Secretary in HUD.
