LOS ANGELES RACIAL TERRORISM

The Los Angeles and related riots mark a new era in American cultural,

political, and economic life. We now know that we are under assault from

thugs and revolutionaries who hate Euro-American civilization and

everything it stands for: private property, material success for those who

earn it, and Christian morality.

Ten thousand stores and other buildings looted and burned, thousands

beaten and otherwise seriously injured, 52 people dead. That was the toll

of the Los Angeles riots in which we saw white men pulled from their cars

and trucks and shot or brutally beaten. (In every case, the mob was not too

enraged to pick the victim's pocket.) We saw Korean and white stores

targeted by the mob because they "exploited the community," i.e., sold

products people wanted at prices they were willing to pay. Worst of all,

we saw the total breakdown of law enforcement, as black and white liberal

public officials had the cops and troops disarmed in the face of criminal

anarchy.

In San Francisco and perhaps other cities, says expert Burt Blumert,

the rioting was led by red-flag carrying members of the Revolutionary

Communist Party and the Workers World Party, both Trotskyite-Maoist. The

police were allowed to intervene only when the rioters assaulted the famous

Fairmont and Mark Hopkins hotels atop Nob Hill. A friend of Burt's, a

jewelry store owner, had his store on Union Square looted by blacks, and

when the police arrived in response to his frantic calls, their orders were

to protect his life, but not to interfere with the rioting.

Even though the riots were aimed at whites (in L.A. at Koreans who had

committed the crime of working hard and being successful, and at Cambodians

in Long Beach), and even though anti-white and anti-Asian epithets filled

the air, this is not considered a series of hate crimes, nor a violation of

the civil rights of whites or Asians.

The criminals who terrorize our cities--in riots and on every

non-riot day--are not exclusively young black males, but they largely are.

As children, they are trained to hate whites, to believe that white

oppression is responsible for all black ills, to "fight the power," and to

steal and loot as much money from the white enemy as possible. Anything is

justified against "The Man." And "The Woman.' A lady I know recently saw a

black couple in the supermarket with a cute little girl, three years old or

so. My friend waved to the tiny child, who scowled, stuck out her tongue,

and said (somewhat tautologically): "I hate you, white honkey." And the

parents were indulgent. Is any white child taught to hate in this way? I've

never heard of it. If a white child made such a remark to a black woman,

the parents would stop it with a reprimand or a spank.

But this is normal, and in fact benign, compared to much of the

anti-white ideology in the thoroughly racist black community. The black

leadership indoctrinates its followers with phony history and phony theory

to bolster its claims of victimology. Like the communists who renounced all

that was bourgeois, the blacks reject all that is "Eurocentric." They

demand their own kind of thinking, and deny the possibility of non-blacks

understanding it.

The insurrectionist and revolutionaries intended to destroy large

sections of Los Angeles. Why did the ghetto youths so furiously rage

together? Was it because they have been neglected? Hardly. Welfare has

transferred $2.5 trillion from white middle class taxpayers to welfare

programs in the last 30 years. And if we adjust that figure for 1992

dollars, the total is more like $7 trillion. Are blacks being denied

economic opportunity? The cities could have freer markets, but so could the

rest of the country, where there is no rioting and little streetcrime. Are

black killers and looters responding to racism? Japanese Americans were

treated far worse in California than blacks. They were even put in

concentration camps by Earl Warren, John J. McCloy, and Franklin D.

Roosevelt, yet Japanese-Americans have never rioted. Korean-Americans,

hated by blacks, never riot, and in fact are some of the most productive

people in America (the reason for black hatred).

The cause of the riots is plain: barbarism. If the barbarians cannot

loot sufficiently through legal channels (i.e., the riots being the

welfare-state minus the middleman), they resort to illegal ones, to

terrorism. Trouble is, few seem willing to do anything to stop them. The

cops have been handcuffed. And property owners are not allowed to defend

themselves. The mayor of Los Angeles, for example, ordered the Korean

storekeepers who defended themselves arrested for "discharging a firearm

within city limits." Perhaps the most scandalous aspect of the Los Angeles

riots was the response by the mayors, the media, and the Washington

politicians. They all came together as one to excuse the violence and to

tell white America that it is guilty, although the guilt can be assuaged by

handing over more cash. It would be reactionary, racist, and fascist, said

the media, to have less welfare or tougher law enf orcement. America's

number one need is an unlimited white checking account for underclass

blacks.

Rather than helping, all this will ensure that guerrilla violence will

escalate. There will be more occasional eruptions such as we saw in Los

Angeles, but just as terrifying are the daily muggings, robberies,

burglaries, rapes, and killings that make our cities terror zones.

The rioters said they were acting out their frustration over the

acquittal of four L.A. policemen accused of using excessive force when

arresting Rodney G. King, but in fact, they were looking for an excuse to

kill, burn, and loot. Nonetheless, it is important to understand why the

jury decided not to convict, whether or not we agree with their verdict.

The California highway patrol began chasing drunk driver Rodney King,

a black man with a long arrest record, and his two passengers on the night

of March 3, 1991. He was recklessly driving at speeds up to 115 mph for

almost eight miles. They raced on the highway until King turned off to

drive through traffic lights and stop signs on residential streets

(families could have been killed). The L.A. police department came to

assist in the high-speed chase with lights and sirens on. One of King's

passenger s asked him to pull over. King initially refused, driving

faster, but he finally complied. When the cops approached the car,

suspecting armed criminals, the two black passengers immediately stepped

out of the car and fell flat on their stomachs with arms stretched out, as

instructed. They were handcuffed. King could have done the same. But he

chose a different route. He refused to get out of the car. He stalled for

a minute, and several times, stepped out of the car and then back into it.

The police wo ndered if he was searching the car for a gun. Once King

stopped this game, he was told by cops with guns pointing at him to put his

belly down on the ground with arms outstretched. Instead, King began to do

a crazy dance and laugh freakishly. He taunted the police and even the

helicopter buzzing above him. This is why the police thought he was on PCP.

Despite police orders, King continued to dance, grabbing his buttocks

to make lewd gestures at a female cop. Sgt. Koon approached him and warned

that he would be stung with a Taser gun. King got down on his hands and

knees, but refused to lay flat. He was again warned, but King refused.

Officer Powell put his knee on King's back to get him down on the ground so

he could be handcuffed. King went down to the ground, but bounced back up,

shaking off all the police who were trying to get hold of him. Fina lly,

Koon stung him with the gun, delivering 50,000 volts of electricity, and

King fell to the ground again. But again he bounced up, prompting Koon to

deliver another 50,000 volts. King fell again, this time into the proper

position. Not a single baton blow had been delivered and the cops thought

everything was over.

At this point, the video camera started to tape the action. Officer

Powell approached King to put handcuffs on him, but King, weighing 250

pounds and standing 6'4" tall, shocked everyone by springing into action

again from his flat position. Like a professional linebacker, he charged

Powell, who thought King was going for his gun. That's when Powell started

using the baton. At one point, Powell thought King was subdued, put away

the baton and reached for the cuffs. But King started to stand up again.

Remembering how King rushed him before, he put away his cuffs and brought

out the baton again. One officer even tried to put his foot on King's neck

to prevent him from getting up again so he could be cuffed.

In all, he was hit 56 times, and even in the end he refused to comply.

He had to be cuffed in an odd position that risked the lives of the cops.

The hospital reported that King had suffered an injury on the face from

when he fell to the ground and minor injuries to his leg. He was never hit

on the spine or the head, which would have violated regulations. And he was

not beaten nearly to death, as some have claimed. The jury concluded that

at every point of that night's action, King was in control. He could have

complied at any time and stopped the beating. Whether we agree or disagree

with the juries verdict--that the cops did not use exxcessive force--it is

instructive to know what they saw and what the media still refuses to tell

us or show us. None of the major networks showed the video scene when King

rushed Officer Powell after the first Taser jolt. Only CNN showed it, one

time. And no major paper even mentioned it. Neither did any major paper or

network tell of the two passengers who complied and were peacefully

arrested. Why? We were shown the section of tape where the cops hit King

as a metaphor for white racism. Shown it again and again, we were supposed

to feel guilty.

Not long after this incident, King was found trying to pick up a

transvestite prostitute, and when caught, tried to run over the cops who

intervened. He was not arrested. This was not reported outside of L.A. He

was also not jailed for violating his parole (for armed robbery) or for

drunk and reckless driving or for violently resisting arrest. The verdict

was handed down at 3:15pm on April 29. For weeks we had heard threats that

the blacks would riot if the officers were not convicted. Taking that into

account, did the media or politicians defer to the jury (as they do when a

liberal-approved criminal is released)? Not at all. At 5:10 pm, liberal

black L.A. Mayor Tom Bradley said he was shocked and outraged at the

verdict. He denounced the jurors for approving "the senseless and brutal

beating of a helpless man." As an afterthought, he asked the ci ty to

"remain calm." With those words, he might as well have thrown a match into

a pool of gasoline. It was permission for the blacks to "express their

rage."

Ten minutes later, the police got their first report of trouble.

Blacks were throwing beer cans at passing cars. When the police showed up,

the crowds had gotten much bigger. Cops tried to control them, but realized

they were outnumbered. Realizing that they could not use their guns or even

look cross-eyed at a black, a video recorded a policeman saying: "It's not

worth it. Let's go." Indeed it wasn't worth it. The cops could only have

put themselves on trial and had their lives ruined too.

Ironically, they were being filmed and are now denounced. But it was

the Establishment's reaction to the Rodney King verdict that set the

precedent that black criminals always have the benefit of the doubt over

white police. At 5:45, the field commander in the area where the riots

began ordered that no police go into the area. "I want everybody out of

here. Get out. Now." He wanted to protect his police force, which could

take no action without media criticism and legal action, from rioters who

vastly outnumbered them and were sometimes better armed. The blacks

started to attack cars driven by whites and light-skinned Hispanics with

crowbars, rocks, bottles, and even a metal traffic sign. At the last

minute, some police officers rescued a woman abandoned in her car and were

pelted by rocks as they left.

At 6:45, a white man was dragged from a delivery truck and thrown to

the ground and beaten, as black assailants yelled, "That's how Rodney King

felt, white boy!" Another white truck driver, Reginald O. Denny, pulled

into the area and five blacks beat him nearly to death. One threw a fire

extinguisher at his head as he lay unconscious, breaking nearly every bone

in his face. A white boy was pulled from his motorcycle and shot in the

head. All this happened less than an hour and a half after the mayor had

denounced the verdict. Rather than call for even minimal standards of

justice, the Establishment coalesced into its excusemaking mode, justifying

black terrorism in various ways. It was caused by poverty, frustration, "12

years of neglect," etc., but never evil. The fires burned out of control as

firemen were attacked by the rioters as well, in one case with an axe.

All banks within the vicinity of rioting, meaning nearly all of

central L.A., were immediately shut down. People who wanted to cash checks

or make deposits were shocked to find them closed. They were also stunned

to find city transit not running. Taxicabs were nowhere in sight. White

people found themselves walking alone many blocks to get home, running the

minefield of black gangs out for their blood.

Many people tried to buy guns to protect themselves. But, whoops,

California has a 14-day waiting period. And then, just to make sure honest

Californians could not get ammunition for the firearms they already owned

(poor ragefilled youth might be shot), Mayor Tom Bradley ordered all gun

and ammo shops closed, a great help to criminals who had stocked up

earlier, or who could simply break in and loot.

Another group that had stocked up were Korean merchants, many of whom

defended their places with guns, and later were arrested for illegal use of

firearms. As one told the L.A. Times, "Two looters entered my store; one

left." These Korean immigrants were the only people to act like real

Americans, mainly because they have not yet been assimilated into our

liberal culture, which admonishes whites faced by raging blacks to lie back

and think of England. White reporters and photographers who entered the

riot zone were dragged from their cars and beaten. A freelance reporter for

the Boston Globe was shot five times. The anti-white hate crimes

accumulated.

In the midst of the rioting, Jesse Jackson and Congresswoman Maxine

Waters (D-CA) spouted the pro-terrorist line that it was all justified

because blacks "can't get no justice." The newsmen of the major networks

interviewed them and lovingly bemoaned the "plight of the inner-city

youth."

Liberal statist Jack Kemp weighed in with a victimological line similar to

Jackson's, saying we need more federal programs for the cities. As the

Establishment promised to spread more white taxpayers' money around the

inner city, the killers and looters spread their violence to Hollywood,

Beverly Hills, Fairfax, and Westwood. A mall in Compton burned.

The Violence wasn't limited to the L.A. area. It extended to Long

Beach, Cal. (where more than 500 Cambodian-owned businesses were torched);

Seattle, Wash.; Eugene, Ore.; San Francisco, Cal.; San Jose, Cal.; Las

Vegas, Nev. (where it still lingers); Madison, Wis.; Birmingham, Ala.; and

Atlanta, Ga. Terrorism swept America. In Las Vegas, for example, a white

man was pulled out of his car and severely beaten by blacks breaking up

from an anti-white rally at l0:30 pm. The blacks shouted racial insults as

the police carted him away to the hospital. The crowd then pelted SWAT

teams in armored vehicles with rocks and bottles. Someone in the crowd of

blacks shot a gun and the police responded with tear gas. I'm sure that

there were many more incidents of looting, fires, and violence that we

haven't heard about for the simple fact that the media doesn't want us to

know about them. Newsmen and editors are protecting us from the truth.

Order was only restored in L.A. when it came time for the blacks to

pick up their welfare checks three days after rioting began. The "poor"

lined up at the post office to get their handouts (since there were no

deliveries)--and then complained about slow service. What if the checks

had never arrived? No doubt the blacks would have fully privatized the

welfare state through continued looting. But they were paid off and the

violence subsided.

Several days after the violence ended, we learned that there would

have been blacks on the King jury--if the NAACP hadn't engaged in jury

tampering by telling potential black jurors that it was their racial duty

to convict the cops. The blacks admitted this to defense lawyers, and were

rightly excluded from jury. This is a serious crime, but the NAACP will not

be prosecuted.

Imagine the irony. Blacks have whined endlessly that letting the cops

off was "all white" (even though the jury included an Hispanic and an

Asian). But it was the leading "civil rights" organization that is at fault

for this.

What did Bush say about the riots? First he promised to have the Justice

Department see if it could retry the cops for violating Rodney King's

"civil rights." But what about the constitutional prohibition of double

jeopardy? No one cares. Then Bush promised an immediate payoff of $600

million to L.A. gangsters. When the liberals called this a "token", he

raised the amount to $1.2 billion. He has vacillated between pretending to

be a tough guy and condemning the rioters, and taking up the Jack Kemp line

that inner-city "despair" can be fixed through more federal programs. But

this is capitulation to terrorist demands. The advice some libertarians

give---"don't vote, it only encourages them" applies here. We must not

kowtow to the street hoodlums and their sanctimonious leaders.

At a Washington, D.C., rally two weeks after the L.A. attempt at

revolution, many poured out to lobby for more money to be given to the

cities. The most commonly held sign was: "Justice for Rodney King. Free all

the L.A. prisoners." Now, consider for a moment what this slogan implies.

Were they upset by the murders, the burned buildings, and the $1 billion in

property damage? Not at all, except to use it as an excuse to get more

cash. They wanted the cops jailed and the murderers, arsonists, and thieves

set free. This came not from the underclass, but from middle-class

blacks and black political activists, who hold opinions not markedly

different from the Crips and the Bloods. But the Crips and the Bloods, it

turns out, have been "misunderstood," according to Ted Koppel who

interviewed two of these animals. After spending several hours with them,

he decided he liked them. Unfortunately, they didn't pull him out of his

stretch limousine.

Regardless of what the media tell us, most white Americans are not

going to believe that they are at fault for what blacks have done to cities

across America. The professional blacks may have cowed the elites, but good

sense survives at the grass roots. Many more are going to have difficultly

avoiding the belief that our country is being destroyed by a group of

actual and potential terrorists -- and they can be identified by the color

of their skin. This conclusion may not be entirely fair, but it is, for

many, entirely unavoidable.

Indeed, it is shocking to consider the uniformity of opinion among

blacks in this country. Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5%

of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market,

individual liberty, and the end of welfare and affirmative action. I know

many who fall into this group personally and they deserve credit--not as

representatives of a racial group, but as decent people. They are,

however, outnumbered. Of black males in Washington, D.C, between the ages

of 18 and 35, 42% are charged with a crime or are serving a sentence,

reports the National Center on Institutions and Alternatives. The Center

also reports that 70% of all black men in Washington are arrested before

they reach the age of 35, and 85% are arrested at some point in their

lives. Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the "criminal

justice system," I think we can safely assume that 95% of the black males

in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal.

If similar in-depth studies were conducted in other major cities, who

doubts that similar results would be produced? We are constantly told that

it is evil to be afraid of black men, but it is hardly irrational. Black

men commit murders, rapes, robberies, muggings, and burglaries all out of

proportion to their numbers.

Perhaps the L.A. experience should not be surprising. The riots,

burning, looting, and murders are only a continuation of 30 years of racial

politics. The looting in L.A. was the welfare state without the voting

booth. The elite have sent one message to black America for 30 years: you

are entitled to something for nothing. That's what blacks got on the

streets of L.A. for three days in April. Only they didn't ask their

Congressmen to arrange the transfer.

Blacks have "civil riqhts," preferences, set-asides for government

contracts, gerrymandered voting districts, black bureaucracies, black

mayors, black curricula in schools, black beauty contests, black tv shows,

black tv anchors, black scholorships and colleges, hate crime laws, and

public humiliation for anyone who dares question the black agenda.

Two years ago, in a series of predictions for the 1990s, I said that

race riots would erupt in our large cities. I'm now predicting this will be

the major problem of the 1990s.
