View Full Version : Violence seldom mentioned or reported nationally by the Media

This has been going on for a LONG time, especially so the last 3 months. Selective 'reporting' by national media, especially Network and some Cable News outlets. This increasing violence impacts our most vulnerable populations, and what is the primary focus of Media...defund police, neuter law enforcement, violent social unrest unchecked, and racial justice. ...but continue to turn a blind eye to the ongoing/increasing violence and murders in inner cities. Not only the Mass Media, but leaders of these communities, as well as civil rights leaders.

How would YOU feel if YOU or your family lived in these impacted communities amidst this violence and swept under the rug by national Press and their minions? I am perplexed and saddened.

Both Chic and NY have very strict laws restricting even ownership of guns.

Do gun confiscation laws pushed so hard by certain politicians work??

Just the facts - - no

Yep, there's a reason the media wants to push the police killing blacks racism meme even though it is statistically insignificant compared to black on black killings.

Not too hard to figure out why.

The silent majority has to stand and be counted.

We have all seen and continue to witness new ground being gained by political and special interest groups that are all in minority (not race) by comparison to the total American citizens.

The position that has too long been taken of it doesn't affect me or it is not in my back yard is no longer true. It is affecting us all. And it is in or coming to our back yards as well.

This will continue until such time as the silent majority finally gets to a point where enough is enough.

I agree, we need to find a way to speak up And be heard. It is not as easy as before. I posted on FB a quote from a former President, aninnocuous quote and immediately had a pop-up warning on my page. We are being censored, we are being misled, silenced and called names by those who have different opinions. We try fact check only to find that particular fact check site is a fake....so we chat on sites like this and try to bring some sanity into the situation.

Questions Raised After Revelation That Suspect In Assault On 92-Year-Old Has Been Arrested 101 Times

A veteran law enforcement officer says the current system is failing the perpetrators and the police.

Chilling surveillance video shows the moment the 92-year-old was thrown to the ground in broad daylight last Friday, her attacker watching as she hit her head on a fire hydrant.

Police say the attacker is 31-year-old Rashid Brimmage, a registered sex offender with at least 100 arrests for charges ranging from assault, to resisting arrest and persistent sexual abuse.

Former NYPD chief Kevin Harrington says Brimmage is a case study in why the city’s no-bail policy needs to be revisited.

Don't worry, they are still lurking about. Remember, they are the ones who talked about the right to protest, deny there is any violence. Their story had a bad weekend to support. Even the Seattle Mayor is busy changing her stripes. Now saying the Police have always had access. Somehow , the story keeps evolving each time they are proven wrong

But you can bet that they will be back.

The press does not sweep the violence under the table . I look at and read parts of at least 4 or 5 newspapers a day , they not only report the violence , but the human interest stories of good people who suffer and struggle and young men who make who are lost so early because of the lack of opportunity to succeed. I’m making no excuses, but gang life looks awfully good to a young man with no prospects , I know this first hand because I was one of those young men

The press, by and large, is corrupt. "Journalism" of old is dead, replaced by agenda driven rhetoric with a few facts tossed in - if they support the agenda. Thank God for the internet where, at lease, we can search for differing views of "the news" and try to sort it out for ourselves.

Food for thought, or maybe a call to arms . . . .

Suppose a militant group prone to and advocating civil disturbance, violence, looting and destruction were to find a target for their next insurrection. An area or community let’s say that was nearly 100% White. Maybe located in the “Racist South”. One where “Privilege” was on display and throw in a population made up of apparently old, weak and defenseless individuals.

Might sound like an easy target for ANTIFA, BLM, or another movement looking for attention to their oppressed existence in this racist Country. It might also sound like someone or some place you are familiar with too.

Food for thought or a call to arms . . . . . remember, it wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark.

The ones that do talk about are trying to solve it or maybe they're just adding gas to the fire to keep it going. I guess you got to make your own assumption. To me BLM is just to get something!

Having said that, I do think BLM could help their own cause by making more effort in helping law enforcement find and prosecute those criminals...who are corrupting their peaceful intent on changing things. :ohdear:

But Fox is biased towards reason. They do not call a riot a peaceful protest. CNN will never report anything good about the current administration. Always search for something bad to say even if not newsworthy. Presidents last rally - Not as many attendees as expected, either criticize the POTUS remark about cutting back on COVID tests or if a joke say it was in bad taste. Claim that POTUS blamed protestors for low attendance. A credible news agency would acknowledge good as well as bad. If an agency reports only bad , they are not a news agency.

I remember at the U of MN Law School in 1986 that the Class of 1989 had about 2 African America law students in a Class of about 260. And the Class of 1990 had maybe 4 African Americans and one of these was actually a Caucasian who lied on his application. And the Class of 1991 had around the same number of about 4 or 5 African Americans. Each of these Classes was around 250-275 students.

The Attorney General of Minnesota, Keith Ellison, was one of the African Americans in the Class of 1990 and he was also the only Muslim that I recall in that Class.

We did have a few African American law professors.

Getting rid of Aunt Jemima is a racist act. Who's the white guy that decided to remove the black lady's picture off my favorite syrup? I am going to protest if they replace her with a white woman. The next thing you know, they will be taking the Indian (indigenous naive American) off the Butter..............oh wait.

The silent majority has to stand and be counted.

We have all seen and continue to witness new ground being gained by political and special interest groups that are all in minority (not race) by comparison to the total American citizens.

The position that has too long been taken of it doesn't affect me or it is not in my back yard is no longer true. It is affecting us all. And it is in or coming to our back yards as well.

This will continue until such time as the silent majority finally gets to a point where enough is enough.
You are quite right , sir. The recent violence can be attributed to 2 generations of high school and college student indoctrination. These last 2 generations have been taught to hate this country and everything it stands for by leftest high school teachers and radical college professors, This county's roots were formed on the idea of slavery and can never be corrected unless it is destroyed (Google "the 1619 Project") This is right out of the Marxist handbook. They must burn the current system to the ground and build it up again in the Marxist image. When I see the rioters, I don't see too many who look like they come from the Villages! And so, after allowing these Marxists to indoctrinate our students for decades, the chickens have come home to roost. We have only ourselves to blame by allowing this to happen. Again, you are right...they are coming for all of us!
