High Numbers of Black on White Crime

Saturday, February 11th, 2012

Here are some more shocking statistics: More than 1,600 Whites are murdered by Blacks each year. Blacks murder Whites at 18 times the rate Whites murder Blacks.

About 1 million Whites were murdered, robbed, assaulted, or raped by Blacks in 1992. In the last 30 years, 170 million violent and nonviolent crimes were committed by Blacks against Whites in the U.S. Blacks under 18 are more than 12 times more likely to be arrested for murder than Whites the same age.

Some 90% of the victims of race crimes are Whites. Blacks commit 7.5 times more violent interracial crimes than Whites, although they comprise only one-seventh of the White population.

On a per-capita basis, blacks commit 50 times more violent crimes than Whites. Some 27 million nonviolent crimes were committed in the U.S. in 1992 alone. 31% of the robberies involved Black offenders and White victims; only 2% involved White offenders and Black victims.

1.3 million of the 6.6 million violent crimes committed in the U.S. each year are interracial. Between 1964 and 1994, more than 45,000 people were killed in interracial murders in the U.S., compared to 58,000 Americans killed in Vietnam and 38,000 killed in Korea.

The above stats were collected by an Australian reporter, Neil Sheehan, who dug out half-concealed U.S. crime figures for an article in the Sydney Morning Herald (May 2, 1995). The contents of his article, he commented, could not possibly be published or discussed in the U.S. mainstream media.

One wonders how many Whites have to be killed by Blacks before the N.Y. Times and Dan Rather break the conspiratorial silence about the number of White casualties in the guerrilla war being waged against them by Blacks. Paved With Good Intentions, a book by Jared Taylor, also studies crime statistics by race. It must be stressed that Blacks make up only 12% of the population according to the 1990 U.S. census (and Black males about 6%), but they commit a vastly disproportionate number of violent crime.

Mr. Taylor reveals: 1) 58% of all arrests for weapons violations are Blacks. 2) 46% of all arrests for violent crimes are Blacks. 3) 73% of all “justified self-defense” killings are committed by Blacks. 4) 60.5% of all Blacks are armed with some type of weapon at all times. 5) 98% of all youths arrested for gun fights in Atlanta are Blacks.

In 1989, the FBI reported the following:

A) Blacks commit 8 times more assaults than Whites. B) Blacks commit 9 times more rapes than Whites. C) Blacks commit 14 times more murders than Whites. D) Blacks commit 19 times more armed robberies. E) Black neighborhoods are 35 times more violent than White neighborhoods. F) There were 629,000 interracial attacks committed in 1985 (the last year the FBI “chose” to report this information). Some nine out of every ten were committed by Blacks against Whites. G. Black males (6% of the population) make up 46% of the nation’s prison population.

Philly murder suspect arrested in NYC

Saturday, January 28th, 2012

 

Jorge Aldea, who was wanted for the Nov. 25 murder of Louis Chevere in North Philadelphia, was arrested Friday evening in Bronx, New York, police said.

Rosemary Fernandez Rivera, 33, who reportedly spoke to police as a witness in Chevere’s murder, died Monday night after being shot four times at point blank range while she was working at the Caribe Mini Market on Mutter Street near Westmoreland in North Philadelphia.

Police said the woman was likely targeted, because the shooter walked into the store and opened fire without turning his attention to two other employees, or taking any cash or merchandise.

Agents in the FBI’s New York City field office confirmed that Aldea, 23, was arrested without incident. However, details on the man’s connection to New York City were not immediately available.

4 charged with hate crime in Houston bus stop beating

A federal grand jury has indicted four white men in a racially motivated attack on an African-American last summer at a bus stop, the first prosecution in the Houston region under a tough hate crime law, FBI officials said Thursday.

Stephen Morris, special agent-in-charge of the Houston FBI office, said the federal law gives investigators and prosecutors expanded authority to go after hate crimes. With a maximum 10-year prison term, the penalties are more severe than state law.

Charged Wednesday with federal crimes are Charles Cannon, 26; Michael McLaughlin, 40;Brian Kerstetter, 32; and Joseph Staggs, 49. All four were already in Harris County jail on misdemeanor assault charges stemming from the attack.

They are accused of a viciously assaulting Houston resident Yondell Johnson, 29, who was waiting for a bus when they allegedly approached him and asked if he had the time. They quickly began to use racial epithets and pummelled him as he lay on the ground in downtown Houston, police said. They are accused of using the N-word as they beat Johnson.

“I’m just glad it’s finally coming to an end, and justice is finally starting to be served,” Johnson said Thursday. “If they get leniency with the feds, that means they’ll say we can go out there and do it again.”

Important legal tool

Morris said the four were charged under the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which was passed in October 2009. The law gives the FBI authority to investigate violent crime, including violence directed at the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community, as well as crimes committed because of gender, race, color, religion or national origin.

“It’s not only a significant enhancement of civil rights legislation, it also provided an additional tool for law enforcement to use in investigating civil rights violations or violent crimes that are rooted in hate,” Morris said.

Johnson said four loud, shirtless white men came up to a bus stop shortly before midnight Aug. 13 at the corner Travis and McKinney. He was waiting to catch the bus after spending the day visiting his 12-year-old daughter.

Johnson recalled one man asked him, “Hey bro, you got the time?”

Johnson said he did not, and then heard a second man berate the first.

“Why are you calling a (N-word) a bro?” Johnson recalled.

Victim feared for life

Sensing he was going to be attacked, Johnson stood up and backed against a pole. Johnson, who is an amateur boxer, was able to hold off his assailants for about 10 minutes, but one of them grabbed him by the ankles and pulled him down. As one man held him down, the other three stomped and kicked his face.

“I couldn’t believe this was happening. I thought I was on my way to dying especially when they got me on the ground,” Johnson said. “At first I thought the (police) would be there to break it up, but there was no one in sight. I was lying on the ground, and I saw blood coming out of my nose and mouth. The only thing I had in my head was survival – I prayed God I could make it.”

Official said three of the suspects had white supremacist tattoos.

At a news conference in downtown Thursday, Johnson was accompanied by self-professed community activist Quanell X, who hailed the federal charges but was critical of the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.

“We applaud the Department of Justice and the federal government for bringing historic hate crimes against these individuals who were charged with beating and attacking” Johnson, Quanell said, contending that local prosecutors could have brought a hate charge but chose not to.

Enhanced local charges

However, court records show that last August state prosecutors notified defense attorneys for three of the four defendants they would be enhancing the misdemeanor assault charges to a hate crime during their trial. Under Texas law, the enhancement does not extend the one-year maximum jail term but increases the minimum sentence served to six months in jail.

“The federal authorities approached our office with an interest in these cases shortly after state charges were filed,” said Jim Leitner, first assistant district attorney. “State and federal attorneys and law enforcement officers worked hand in hand preparing these cases for indictment and trial.”

FBI Agent Kristin Rehler, supervisor of the agency’s civil rights squad, confirmed the Houston office is investigating three other hate crimes. She and other FBI agents encouraged victims to report similar crimes to their office.

“We need the people out there to let us know what is going on,” Rehler said.

Man charged with Kalispell stabbing claims ties to gang

 Man charged with Kalispell stabbing claims ties to gang

KALISPELL- A man arrested for entering a Kalispell man’s home and stabbing him may have possible ties to an alleged California gang.

Dante Kier told investigators he broke into a Kalispell-area house intending to kill the homeowner because it “felt good,” according to court documents.

The 19-year-old, from Santa Barbara, California, identified himself as a member of the Insane Clown Posse (ICP) gang. He was charged Wednesday with attempted deliberate homicide, aggravated burglary and assault with a weapon.

According to the Kalispell Police Department (KPD), they have not made a connection to the ICP gang directly, but an undercover detective said that this wouldn’t be their first run in with someone identifying themselves with the gang.

The FBI considers fans of rap group Insane Clown Posse to represent a threat on par with the Crips, Bloods, and Aryan Brotherhood, according to its annual report on gang activity. On page 22 of the FBI’s annual report on gang activity, they listed the ICP gang or “Juggalos” in the same league as Mexican drug cartel‘s.

A KPD undercover officer said followers of the “Juggalos”, don’t want money or power, they instead only aim at creating havoc.

Two Kalispell men, Robert Lake and Jeffrey Nixon, who have been found guilty of murder, also told police they were “Juggalos”.

Kalispell Police Chief Roger says the majority of people identifying themselves with this group are unorganized, but his officers have seen a large increase in criminal activity among alleged ICP followers.

“We see a lot of drug activity with that group, we see violence, like what we’ve seen with the stabbing just recently. Obviously with the Collins homocide, that was a direct aspect of that homocide. And it’s just stuff that really shocks the conscience.”

Nazi symbols stun, appall Danville congregation

Friday, July 8th, 2011

This had never happened before.

Monday morning, as residents in Danville and across the country geared up to celebrate America’s independence and freedom, Jo Ann Howard did something else.

She cleaned symbols of hatred from her synagogue.

Two swastikas — the infamous icon of Nazi oppression — had been spray-painted on the door and sidewalk of Temple Beth Sholom, Danville’s only synagogue.

The news hit Howard — the temple’s president — hard.

“It’s a horrible feeling to hear it, and even worse to see it,” she said.

Now, police are digging into the matter fervently and even the Federal Bureau of Investigation has become involved in the hunt for suspects.

Currently, Danville police do not have a suspect in custody. They’re still seeking leads and at the moment it’s not known whether it’s the work of a hate group of simply vandals, said Danville police Capt. Matt Carter.

State law (code section 18.2-423.1) specifically outlaws placing swastikas on public buildings including churches, synagogues and schools. Doing so provides the intent to intimidate in a prima facie case. Prima facie means the prosecution has sufficient evidence to prove a case.

It’s punishable as a class six felony, which can result in up to five years in prison.

The police department has also notified the FBI of the incident and officials there are waiting to review reports from Danville before taking a course of action, said Lawrence Barry, chief division counsel of the FBI’s Richmond Division.

The last reported incident of religiously-motivated hate crime in Danville, came in 2005, according to statistics from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports.

As for crimes against the Temple Beth Sholom congregation, there has never been an incident like this in its more than 100 year history.

The congregation was first established in 1893 by 18 Jewish families in the city. The building opened its doors in 1899 and hasn’t closed them since. Along the way, they’ve had their share of hurdles, Howard said.

The congregation at Temple Beth Sholom has seen its membership decline from about 45 families in the 1970s to about 30 families today. They’ve also gone long stretches without an ordained Rabbi, but each time the congregation has banded together and moved forward, Howard said.

No one thought it would get this bad.

“They’re appalled that anyone in this day and age would do something like this,” she said.

On Monday, Howard and her husband scrubbed the sidewalk for hours to remove the black outline. Even then, it’s still dimly visible. On the door, the red paint has been scraped down to the wood.

As the two washed, a neighbor brought over an American flag to hang over the door. One symbol hiding another.

“We just have to keep going,” Howard said. “That’s how the Jewish people have survived for thousands of years, you keep going.”

Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact Danville Crime Stoppers at (434) 793-0000, or crimetips@ci.danville.va.us.

Information given will remain confidential. Residents who contact Crime Stoppers by telephone may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000.

Prosecutors in Cleveland fire back over FBI memo regarding ID card of accused Nazi guard John Demjanjuk

Sunday, May 8th, 2011

 

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Federal prosecutors fired back Friday over claims an FBI memo from 1985 could weaken the case against John Demjanjuk.

A Cleveland FBI agent said in the memo that he believed a Nazi identification card linking Demjanjuk to German service “was quite likely fabricated by the KGB.” The recently discovered document prompted a federal public defender last week to question the government’s tactics against the 91-year-old from Seven Hills.

But prosecutors said in court papers filed in U.S. District Court in Cleveland that the FBI agent merely speculated about a Soviet forgery. They also said the agent’s claims came years after a government expert testified the card was authentic.

The decades-long question about the reliability of the card has been rekindled after the Associated Press last month uncovered the memo in declassified documents.

Dennis Terez, the federal public defender in Cleveland, filed documents that said all of Demjanjuk’s legal proceedings to date may have been tainted because defense attorneys may not have seen all the documents in the case. He cited the FBI report as an example and offered to assist Demjanjuk’s counsel in seeking whether there are more documents that have not been uncovered.

Demjanjuk is on trial in Germany on more than 27,000 counts of assisting in the deaths of Jews at the Sobibor death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland. A verdict in his trial is expected next week, and prosecutors have called for a six-year sentence if he is convicted. He was deported to Munich nearly two years ago after U.S. judges ruled he lied about his wartime past.

Prosecutors said the FBI agent, whose identity is not known, based his claims about the forgery “on the unsupported assertion” that the Soviet authorities, who provided the card to U.S. officials, were out to get Demjanjuk because he “was an outspoken dissident.”

The memo said Demjanjuk “has a reputation for being anti-Soviet” and cited the fact that he, like many of his fellow Ukrainians, opposed the Soviet regime during World War II. Prosecutors noted Friday that in a 1980 deposition that Demjanjuk acknowledged that he had never belonged to any anti-communist group.

They also said the memo claims that Soviets routinely refused U.S. authorities from inspecting Nazi documents they discovered. But the prosecutors said a government expert had examined it and defense experts had the same chance by at least 1981, some four years before the agent wrote the report. Investigators have tested the card several times in Demjanjuk’s three-decades legal odyssey.

Demjanjuk was first accused of being a Nazi guard in 1977, when authorities identified him as being a sadistic camp guard at the Treblinka death camp. Since then, he was extradited to Israel, convicted, sentenced to death and released after another man was identified as being the guard.

He returned home to Seven Hills. In 1999, prosecutors charged him again with documents that came to light after the first trial. They accused him of working as a Nazi guard at Sobibor and other camps. Based that case in Cleveland, he was deported to Germany.

Public defender in Cleveland seeks to help John Demjanjuk, says case may have been tainted

Saturday, April 30th, 2011

CLEVELAND, Ohio –

A local federal public defender said Friday that he wants to help suspected Nazi prison guard John Demjanjuk, claiming an FBI document unearthed this month undermines the government’s longstanding legal fight against him.

The 91-year-old Demjanjuk is on trial in Germany, accused of complicity in the deaths of more than 27,000 people at the Sobibor death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland. He was deported to Munich nearly two years ago after U.S. judges ruled he lied about his wartime past.

In a motion filed in U.S. District Court in Cleveland, Public Defender Dennis Terez said all of Demjanjuk’s legal proceedings to date may have been tainted because he believes defense attorneys have not seen all the documents in the case.

He cited a newly found 1985 report by the Cleveland FBI office, which indicated that the Soviet KGB may have worked to create false information about Demjanjuk. The report suggested that a Nazi guard identification card, also called a pass, may have been forged, a claim Demjanjuk’s supporters have made for years.

The report said federal authorities sought information from the Soviets about suspected Nazi persecutors. The KGB then produced “a record purporting to tie the accused with the commission of Nazi atrocities, which record may be falsified for the express purpose of discrediting the accused,” the report said.

“The end result is that justice is ill-served in the prosecution of an American citizen on evidence, which is not only normally inadmissible in a court of law, but based on evidence and allegations quite likely fabricated by the KGB,” the FBI report said.

The pass, known as the Trawniki card, has a picture and Nazi identification number of a man named Ivan Demjanjuk, who has the same birth date, hair color, scar on his back and father’s name as the former Seven Hills’ autoworker.

The Associated Press found the report this month in declassified government documents. The news agency reported that Demjanjuk’s attorneys in Munich sought to stop the trial so they could study more documents in the United States. A German judge refused. A verdict is expected in May.

Demjanjuk’s deportation to Germany came years after a federal judge in Cleveland stripped Demjanjuk of his citizenship following a 2001 trial.

“The case was tried, judgment entered, and the judgment affirmed,” Terez said. “But the government knew then what the world knows now, namely, that its case had been judged not credible by its own FBI.”

Eli Rosenbaum, the director of the U.S. Justice Department unit that brought the case against Demjanjuk, could not be reached Friday. But Jonathan Drimmer, the former prosecutor who tried the case in Cleveland, said he never saw or heard of the FBI report.

He said he believes the card is authentic, based on extensive testing of handwriting, paper and ink. He also said there were tests on the typewriting and photograph.

“I don’t think there is a single piece of legal evidence that has undergone more scientific and forensic testing than the Trawniki identification card of John Demjanjuk,” he said.

Demjanjuk was first accused of being a Nazi guard in 1977, when federal prosecutors identified him as a sadistic camp guard known as Ivan the Terrible, a case based on eyewitness testimony. He was convicted in Israel and spent about six years on death row.

While in Israel, the public defender’s office in Cleveland was appointed to represent Demjanjuk in his U.S. appeals. In 1993, his conviction in Israel was overturned, after another man was identified as being the guard.

After he returned to Seven Hills, federal prosecutors accused him again, this time using the wartime documents, including the now-questioned Trawniki card to link him to Sobibor and other two camps.
