When Denton Ward and Lauren Bailey and two other friends rolled into McDonald’s in College Station, Texas, they had no idea what happens to white people who wander into black crowds.
They had never heard of the Chicago court decision featuring a Harvard professor talking about Routine Activity Theory: White people in black neighborhoods can routinely expect to be the victim of black violence.
Only as Denton and Lauren found out, it is way past being a theory. Denton and Lauren had no idea that the 200 to 400 black people – many from black college fraternities -- milling around McDonald’s had a history of regular and frequent and intense violence.
“Between 2009 and 2012, there were 210 police calls made in reference to the McDonald's, he said.146
The “he” is a lawyer for the two college kids we just mentioned. Technically, he represents their families, since they died as a result of injuries received in a beat down that night.
David Paulin at American Thinker did a great job in teasing out what local papers, local police, local school officials were happy to ignore: This was black mob violence on an epic scale and it had happened before.
Paulin sets the scene:147 When Denton and Lauren et al rolled into the parking lot, they were greeted with lots of hostility along the lines of “You are in the wrong place cowboy.”
Both inside and out, University McDonald's was bustling. But it definitely wasn't the usual daytime crowd –-- clean-cut and mostly white “Aggies” as A&M's students are known. Instead, up to 400 black males were loitering about the parking lot, a police officer later estimated. Inside, it was mostly a black crowd too: a large number of black males were loitering about, many without food. Some were shirtless.
White patrons appeared to be especially susceptible and at risk -- and when they were attacked, the blows were particularly vicious.
The parents won a judgment for $27 million dollars against McDonald’s – the jury agreed that McDonald’s should have known their franchise store was very, very dangerous. As for the other 400 people involved, one ultimately pled guilty to a misdemeanor.
Stitches for snitches. Some say you could set up an entire YouTube channel just using videos of black mob violence at Micky D’s. How about a play list instead:148
I get lots of email from Texas. Most of it bragging about how this kind of thing does not happen down there. But it does. Maybe not as much. Maybe.
Over in Austin, LiveLeak.com lit up the Internet in February 2014 with another Texas attack: A video of a black mob assaulting two white guys in Austin. The video opens with a group of 10 black people confronting three white people.149
As the confrontation escalates, a black person calls for help, and the assault begins. It ends two minutes later with one of the white people on the ground, surrounded by black people kicking and punching him in the face with the encouragement of other black people whooping and hollering off camera.
As police sirens get closer, several black people approach the fallen person and kick him in the face, before running away.
Austin has long been a center for black mob violence in Texas. The latest example came the week before Halloween in 2013, when 200 black people rampaged through a mall parking lot that was hosting a Halloween haunted house.150
Much of the action was captured on video. Still many reporters in Austin denied that race had anything to do with the black mob violence. As they denied similar violence at the same mall over the last several years.
Let’s complete the Texas run back at College stormed a convenience store, and created 20 minutes of mayhem, theft and property destruction. Much like the hundreds of other examples 151 of flash robs at convenience stores around the country.
Like the others, this was caught on video -- but with a twist: Members of the black mob were “twerking” outside while their friends rushed in and out of the store.152
A mother of one of the black people involved said it would not be fair to call her daughter a hoodlum just because she and her friends were acting “mischievous.”
Many people in Texas took pride in the fact that their state has largely escaped the pandemic of racial violence. But no more: “Lots of people in Texas like to say we are immune from the Knockout Game and other forms of racial violence," said Tom O'Halloran, a Texas talk show host. "I was stunned when we started seeing it happen here. I personally know several Texans that upped their concealed carry in both caliber, and enough capacity to defend against a mob. The times, they are a changing'."
We’re not done with Texas yet. No sir.
