Media, Police Spin Riot at Brooklyn’s Kings Plaza Mall
Forgive the political incorrectness, but locally, the Kings Plaza Mall in Brooklyn is known as “Kong’s Plaza” and “Plaza of the Apes.” But if people were to believe news reports, they would call it the Mall of Rambunctious Children. Trayvon Martin — famously represented throughout the media with cherubic pictures taken many years before he degenerated into the frightening hoodlum who got himself killed during an attempted murder — is not the only person of privileged pigmentation to have his age strategically reduced by liberal information gatekeepers. Have a good laugh as police and media authorities try to spin a massive riot at Kings Plaza into little kids indulging in horseplay. From the NY Daily Snooze:
A mob of about 300 kids starting fighting, yelling and running wild in the Mill Basin shopping center Friday, cops said, prompting an increased police presence.
“Kids” huh? Since when does an episode of Romper Room require “an increased police presence”?

Baghdad Bob’s influence on information dissemination has been pervasive.
Now here’s a real news item. A white person has been spotted in front of the Kings Plaza Mall, and she isn’t wearing a police uniform. It’s Tracee Carrasco of CBS 2 News[...]

Forgive the political incorrectness
We can forgive you for that, Dave. What we can't forgive is your willful ignorance and thinly veiled racism.
Okay, calling bull vacation cut short. I'm a have to call bull.
You ever watch a western Dishonest Dave? Particurlarly any scene that involves a saloon and a poker game?
What ALWAYS happens when somebody takes issue with the fifth ace to pop up in a hand? That's right, everyone at the table goes ballistic. From there either everyone else pulls a gun or just starts beating the shit out of the nearest guy. While the whole bar picks random dance partners there's always some enterprising individual that tries to scrape up the pot and any unattended valuable or liquor.
Hollywood is Hollywood of course, but this is a surprisingly realistic reaction. It's called mass hysteria. While the effects aren't always so dramatic as the above example it happens quite a bit. Rage and fear goes nearly viral and onlookers suddenly find themselves going batshit at the drop of a hat and act irrational or violent.
Occam's razor declares this to be the simplest and most likely explanation for pretty much any melee that swells in size. But Dishonest Dave is absolutely convinced that this and every other violent event out there was in fact planned. Not only did 300 people manage to organize and agree on a strange course of action in a moment's notice when the rest of us have a hell of a time getting six dinner guests to show up at the right time and place, they are entirely willing to be a distraction for the police by brawling it out in the street while other people make off with all the loot.
You know what's really interesting though? According to the NYPD nothing was actually stolen nor was there serious property damage. Oh wait, one guy said that some kids raided his candy jar and made a general reference to pickpockets. And that the whole incident may have started due to a facebook posting urging people to put the mall "on tilt" for whatever reason. People weren't getting jumped with bats or anything like you think was going on. It was group of teens in a heated fistfight that collected a crowd of rowdy spectators hooting and hollering into the night.
But of course, Dave "smoked too many" Blounts believes the police and several fake eyewitnesses are in on the scam and deliberately falsify reports to hide murders and rapes and that it was really all grown men running around yelling like idiots and pinching candy despite what the grainy footage of the actual fight would have you think.
So there's a much more reasonable and easily supported explanation at hand, but that doesn't matter. Police are in a majority black area area, black people are being interviewed. That's good enough for Moonbattery to don their white sheets.
And again... AGAIN!!! Accusing Trayvon Martin of the most ludicrous attempted murder in human history. While Zimmerman was found not criminally liable for Martin's death - which was bullshit considering he leapt out of his car with a gun and gave fucking chase without any legal ability to do so - the court never established in any way shape or form that Trayvon Martin ever 'ambushed' Zimmerman. All the hard evidence points the other direction in fact, not that you give a shit. And even IN such an absurd case, as he was being chased down by an unidentified man he had every right to defend himself.
@ Azrael
Oh there's absolutely people who are prejudiced against whites too, but what's false is claiming that it's institutional (particularly in Europe or North America) or that calling someone out on racism is being racist.
So yeah in this context "cracker" is as much a racial slur as any of the excrement that dribbles out Blount's mouth. You wanna argue "N word priviliges" or in this case "C word priviliges" go nuts. Just don't pretend it doesn't offend anyone.
@michael3ov, @1626227
Submitting my comment was a bit brash, and yes it is a racial slur, but consider that:
1. "Cracker" has not has had such a long and offensive history as the n-word, and even that has somehow been appropriated by the black community.
Once again, I maintain that submitting my comment to RSTDT was a misunderstanding. I apologize if you misunderstood the point of my comment.
@michael3ov
Plus, it is wronger than wrong to say that something slightly wrong (such as the not-very-derogatory use of "cracker") is exactly as wrong as what Dave Blcunt does (eg. comparing blacks to apes, actually participating in racist activities, etc.). That's like comparing a petty thief whose motive is to feed homeless families to Bernie Madoff.

And that comment was rejected in PubAd, thanks for playing.
