On December 30th, seven year-old Jazmine Barnes was murdered as she sat with her mother and sisters in a Walmart parking lot in Houston, Texas. The murder of a black child usually doesn’t make national news because it is all too common. In this instance it did. When the shooter was identified as a white blue-eyed male there came an outpouring of outrage by community advocates, lawyers, and Houston Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee. All used this senseless and vile murder as a political organizing tool. In front of a rally protesting the murder, the Congresswoman declared: “Do not be afraid to call this what is seems to be — a hate crime”. Black Lives Matter advocate Shaun King and Lawyer Lee Merritt joined in offering $100,000 dollars to find the racist killer. Community leader Deric Muhammed stated: “We are thoroughly convinced that this killing was race related”. He then challenged law enforcement to prove him wrong. The Houston Sheriff did. The killers who mistakenly shot at the wrong car were black.

Teen Mob Attacks Man At Gas Station
FOX Memphis
Surveillance video obtained by FOX13 News shows a mob of teens attacking a man at a Crosstown gas station.
The incident took place at Cleveland and Poplar.
He's not the only one. One of FOX13's employees was attacked at that same gas station four years ago in 2011. He and a reporter were covering a story and that attack in 2011 put him in the hospital.
The gas station's owners said the problem is growing and they fear for their own safety.
Police said the man was trying to help a woman to her car when he was swarmed by several teens. The man then gets sucker punched from behind before things quickly spiral out of control.

NAACP President: ‘Burn This Bi*** Down’ Not ‘A Call For Violence’
Jeffrey Meyer, Nov. 26, 2014, Newsbusters
On Tuesday night, Cornell Brooks, president of the NAACP, appeared on CNN’s Erin Burnett OutFront to discuss the shooting death of Michael Brown and dismissed calls for violence by a member of Michael Brown’s immediate family as inciting violence. Burnett played video of Brown’s stepfather, Louis Head, telling a crowd of protestors to “burn this bi*** down” after the grand jury decided not to indict Officer Darren Wilson and asked Brooks if “that served as a call for violence?” Rather than condemn Brown’s stepfather’s highly charged rhetoric, the president of the NAACP proclaimed “I don't think that was a call for violence or it caused violence.”

Black Mob Violence Now A Sickness
Colin Flaherty, Nov. 26, 2014, American Thinker
Thank you, Ferguson: Thanks to you we learned that black mob violence is now a sickness -- not just a problem.
And no one is sicker than the reporters who ignore, condone, excuse, and even encourage it, as we learned from the latest riot.
For reporters, Mike Brown has always been a moving target: At first the Gentle Giant was cut down for no reason whatsoever. Reporters ate it up and black mob violence followed.

Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993
D’Vera Cohn, Paul Taylor, Mark Hugo Lopez, Catherine A. Gallagher, Kim Parker and Kevin T. Maass, May 7, 2013, Pew Research Center
National rates of gun homicide and other violent gun crimes are strikingly lower now than during their peak in the mid-1990s, paralleling a general decline in violent crime, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of government data. Beneath the long-term trend, though, are big differences by decade: Violence plunged through the 1990s, but has declined less dramatically since 2000.

Germany Could Be Home To 7,000 Muslim Extremist By Christmas
German authorities fear there could be as many as 7,000 Muslim extremists in the country by the end of the year. Disenfranchised youths are particularly vulnerable to being recruited, while there are around 450 German extremists in Syria and Iraq.
The extremists all follow the strict interpretation of Islam known as Salafism and believe that jihad is a legitimate tool in their fight against the West, which they believe is an enemy of Islam. Hans-Georg Maassen, who is the head of Germany’s BfV domestic intelligence agency,told rbb-Inforadi that there are currently around 6,300 Islamic extremists in Germany, but this figure could rise to as many as 7,000 by the end of the year, AP reports.
There has been a steep rise in the number of Germans attracted to fundamentalist Islam. Three years ago there were only in the region of 3,800 followers of Salafism in the country, which then rose to 4,500 in 2012.

How Gun Control Made England 'Most Violent Country In Europe'
By Awr Hawkins, Sept. 24, 2014, Breitbart.com
Gun control in Britain passed in stages, beginning just after World War I and continuing in a reactionary fashion with increasing strictness through the 1990s.
When the final stage arrived in 1997, and virtually all handguns were banned via the Firearms Act, the promise was a reduction in crime and greater safety for the British people. But the result was the emergence of Britain as the "most violent country in Europe."
Britain began placing restrictions on gun ownership after World War I with the Firearms Act of 1920. The passage of this act was emotionally driven, based in part on the public's war-weariness and in part on the fear that an increased number of guns--guns from the battle field--would increase crime.
The Firearms Act of 1920 did not ban guns. Rather, it required that citizens who wanted a gun had to first obtain a certificate from the government. We see this same stage taking place in various places in the United States now, where a person who wants a firearm has to get a Fire Owner Identification Card (Illinois) or has to be vetted by police (Massachusetts) or both.

Gang Of Black Teens Beats White Memphis Grocery Store Employee Into Unconsciousness
Late on Saturday night, a mob of black teens swarmed a Kroger grocery store in Memphis, Tennessee and proceeded to beat two store employees and one customer to the ground.
Police reported they had received a September 6 surveillance video showing the swarm of black teens pushing, punching and kicking the young store employees at the entrance to the store.
According to Memphis police, the group emerged from a restaurant in the same strip mall and immediately attacked a 25-year-old man as he left his car in the parking lot and headed for the grocery store.
Two grocery store employees ran to the man's aide, and the black mob attacked them as well, brutally beating all three victims into unconsciousness.
Police report that the crowd of up to 20 teens were laughing and yelling "fan mob."
All three victims were treated on the scene and refused transportation to the hospital.
Video taken by customers on the scene attest to the viciousness of the attack. It shows screaming, joking, laughing black members of the mob attacking and kicking a white Kroger employee lying immobile on the ground.
Memphis Police Department Director Toney Armstrong released a statement on Sunday morning, making no mention of a possible hate crime.

Last Wednesday, 120 European Union peacekeepers arrived in Bangui, the capital of the Central African Republic. They took up positions at the city's airport, where French soldiers had guaranteed security up until now. Lining the airstrip were hundreds of cardboard shacks and tarpaulins; the homes of thousands of civilians who had flocked to the foreign base in the hope of escaping the brutal violence that has rocked the CAR in recent months.
Events that occurred just ahead of the handover in Bangui made it painstakingly clear why the refugees were fleeing. Hours before the Europeans' arrival, four people had been murdered in the streets of the capital. One Muslim man was found decapitated, his body heavily mutilated and his heart ripped out.
Wednesday's killings were emblematic of the brutal fighting that has plagued the country since a rebel coup against President Francois Bozize triggered the worst ethnic violence in decades. Over a year into the chaos, the country is in shambles and the rift between its ethnic groups has widened to disastrous proportions.
Here's why the Central African Republic deserves your undivided attention:
1. More than 2,000 people have been killed since Christian fighters supporting ousted President Bozize tried to take back the capital from Muslim rebels in December 2013.
The rebel alliance that pushed out the president came from the north and was mostly comprised of members of the CAR's Muslim minority and foreign fighters. While the Seleka rebels tried to legitimize the coup by accusing the president of failing to live up to a peace deal, most fighters seemed far more motivated by the spoils a power grab would bring. The rebels have acted brutally, targeting both Christians and Muslims that crossed their path.
In March 2013, coup leader Michel Djotodia declared himself president and incorporated the Seleka fighters into the national army. But violence continued.
In response to the Seleka abuses, Christian self-defense groups known as anti-Balaka militias took up arms. They initially targeted Seleka fighters, but quickly expanded their reach to Muslim communities as well. Violence intensified in December 2013, when more than a hundred people died in anti-Balaka attack on the capital.
In January, Djotodia fled to Benin and the mayor of Bangui, Catherine Samba-Panza, took over. Yet the change of leadership did little to restore security.
