Editor’s note: Colin Flaherty has done more reporting than any other journalist on what appears to be a nationwide trend of skyrocketing black-on-white crime, violence and abuse. WND features these reports to counterbalance the virtual blackout by the rest of the media due to their concerns that reporting such incidents would be inflammatory or even racist. WND considers it racist not to report racial abuse solely because of the skin color of the perpetrators or victims.
Mike Hagler does not want to hear any more excuses for race riots at
the Wisconsin State Fair. Or gunfire at the Juneteenth celebration in
downtown Milwaukee.
“Big Mike” has a simple solution for the hundreds of black people who terrorized the Mayfair Mall and the Independence Day fireworks celebrations: Knock it off.
“Every time there is an event going on, people want to pull out guns and go crazy,” said Hagler, the teenage video blogger from Milwaukee. “Everything is getting cancelled: State fairs. Summerfest. All people want to do is fight. Y’all acting like animals. And it is crazy to say it is our own people acting that way.”
He continued, “It’s crazy when you go to an event and there be a majority white people there. As soon as black people come around that get to moving out of the way. They already know what is going to happen.
“It’s like when you want to go to Juneteenth. I ain’t going to go to Juneteenth because people already know what is going to happen. People are going to be shooting and fighting.”
It cannot be as bad as Big Mike thinks, right?
The robbery and assault on July 3, 2011, is the benchmark for black mob violence in Milwaukee.
It started out like a flash rob that could have been Philadelphia or Chicago or any of the dozens of other places around the country where black people meet, rush and rob a store: And they did it on video: Fifty to 100 black people loot a BP store after the fireworks. But this crew took it to a new level: They headed to a nearby park, stolen goodies still in hand, where they taunted and beat 10 white kids. Standing over one of her victims, an assailant called out to her friends, “White girl bleed a lot.” They laughed.
Police came. They ran away. The next day, victims were surprised to learn none of the officers had filed a report. That meant the riot never happened.
Victims called talk radio and went to the Internet, demanding action. Soon, the police chief and Mayor Barrett held a press conference. The chief said “crime was colorblind,” and he did not appreciate the media trying to sensationalize it. The local paper finally ran a story:
Most newsrooms follow police activities on a scanner. If they do not write about public safety problem, it is because they were not listening to the police radio calls, or they chose not to.
After a few days, public officials tried to play catch up, but by then the people of Milwaukee knew two things: One, their town just had a full scale race riot; and two, the police were not capable of calling it by name, let alone doing anything about it.
The “white girl bleed a lot” beatdown came three weeks after another major racial disturbance called Juneteenth, a black holiday commemorating the end of slavery. A party-goer remembers:
This year it happened again at Juneteenth when another massive disturbance resulted in the arrests of 54 people.
The newspaper never really said what all those people were doing to get arrested. The paper did, however, carry 17 pictures of black people cooking ribs, eating corn, dancing and playing basketball. There were no pictures of any of the 54 people breaking the law, or the two caught with guns.
Nor did the paper allow any comments from readers, where witnesses often write in.
A few days after 2012 Juneteenth celebration, Journal-Sentinel columnist Eugene Kane said he did not attend the party because he was too busy taking a walk. “But most people I talked to said it was enjoyable despite the steamy weather.” Look at the bright side, he suggested:

“Shaina Perry remembers the punch to her face, blood streaming from a cut over her eye, her backpack with her asthma inhaler, debit card and cellphone stolen, and then the laughter.
“They just said ‘Oh, white girl bleed a lot,’” said Perry, 22, who was attacked at Kilbourn Reservoir Park over the Fourth of July weekend.

The “white girl bleed a lot” beatdown came three weeks after another major racial disturbance called Juneteenth, a black holiday commemorating the end of slavery. A party-goer remembers:
My girlfriend and I walked up to Juneteenth from Riverwest; a half a dozen squad cars rushed past us and one squad car stopped. The officers were wearing full riot gear and said something to the likes of ‘What the hell are you (white) people doing in this neighborhood? Get the … out of here, don’t you know there is a riot going on a block away?”They did not. Nor would anyone in Milwaukee ever learn that from most of the local media.

Unlike previous years, there were no flash-point incidents reported. No bottles were thrown at officers, and no fights broke out after the festival ended.Curiously, it is very difficult to find news accounts of these events.
No ugly scenes were caught on camera, only to be replayed on local TV for days.
