White Girls are Unsafe Walking in Broad Daylight in Portland, Oregon’s Lent Neighborhood; Black Suspect Sawsulien Bohannan, 21, was Released from Jail, and Immediately Spent 3 Days Nonchalantly Hunting White Girls, Before Allegedly Grabbing a 14-Year-Old Off the Street, and Raping Her; He’d Tried to Rape Her Older Sister the Day Before; Father and Older Sister Hunted Him Down on Their Own, and Made Citizen’s Arrest

Thanks to reader-researcher RC for this story.

Remind me again, what purpose the police serve, beyond picking the taxpayers’ pockets of their “surplus” assets.

The clock’s ticking, and I’m still waiting for an answer.

And the answer is: Protecting the “right” of the Sawsulien (Sauce-uhl-een) Bohannans of the world to hunt white girls in white neighborhoods in broad daylight unmolested.
 

No bail for rape suspect

tracked by Dad

Suspect released from jail just three days ago

The man who police say sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl in the Lents Neighborhood Sunday appears in Multnomah County court to face charges of rape -- just days after his release from jail.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- The man who police say sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl in Southeast Portland Sunday appeared in Multnomah County court to face charges of Rape in the First Degree, Sex Abuse in the First Degree and Unlawful Sexual Penetration in the First Degree.

The 14-year-old was walking home from a friend's house in the Lents Neighborhood around 5 p.m. Sunday when she was attacked and raped by a stranger, now identified by police as Sawsulien (Sauce-uhl-een) Bohannan, 21. 

The teen told police the man was following her on his bicycle, trying to talk to her, then grabbed her and pulled her into a side yard in the 8400 block of SE 87th Avenue. He then sexually assaulted [raped] her.

She ran home and told her parents. While her mom called police, her dad jumped into his car with his older daughter to search for the attacker.

The dad said his older daughter spotted Bohannan walking along SE Flavel. She recognized him as the same man who tried to follow her the day before. The dad says he pulled up alongside Bohannan and told him not to move. Police arrived.

"They brought him out in the middle of the road and had him stand there," said witness Patrick Butterfield. "And then the cop car made a signal, and then they put cuffs on the guy."

Bohannan has a criminal record for theft [hey, that’s a non-violent crime] and possession of meth [but everyone knows that only whites traffic in and abuse meth!]. He was released from jail just three days ago.

In court Monday, the judge ordered him held with no bail. Neighbors in this area say they can't believe this happened in broad daylight:

"It's scary to know that this could happen, especially in the middle of the day, anytime," said neighbor Shelby Grigg. "For a child to not be safe in  their neighborhood anymore, this is horrible."

For witness Butterfield, "It's disgusting. I mean my daughter's 12-years-old, she's going to be 13 in January. And I can't imagine. I don't let her go anywhere anyway -- but definitely not now."

A young woman comes into the ER suffering violent seizures. Her husband says she is “possessed.”

She’s possessed, alright. She has potentially fatal cysts in her brain, which she got from eating contaminated or undercooked pork. The condition, whose medical name is neurocysticercosis, better known as the Pork Tapeworm, was virtually non-existent in America—until mass Third World immigration from Central and South America blessed us with it….

In Harrison, Arkansas, Group Puts Up Billboard Fighting Anti-White Racism; Blacks Demand Sign be Removed; Mayor Jeff Crockett Explains: The Sign is Not What We are About—We are Anti-White

“Anti-Racist is a Code Word for Anti-White”

By Nicholas Stix

A tip ‘o the hate to Occidental Dissent, grandmacaesar, and Noel Wise.

I’d like to see 100,000 of these signs go up all over America, but if one lowly sign can cause so much outrage, even a few spread around the country could have an incalculable effect on liberty. What’s one of Colin Powell’s favorite terms? “Force multipliers.”

Hey, everything I know about racism, I learned from blacks.

Note how the racists are all trying to get the sponsor’s name, so they can try and destroy his life.

And get a load of the white lady, Dena McGlynn, who complains that the billboard “Goes against everything that the Diversity Council and the high school and Mrs. Millburn taught the young that are growing up here in Harrison, and I just wish that they’d take it down.” That’s kind of the point, lady.

At least the reporter got a counterpoint quote, from Josh Rosenberg: “As a white American male, if you say anything about anybody else, you’re automatically racist.”

I see the slogan posted by readers in media comment sections several times a week, and always vote it up.

Finally, in the second video, I don't hear any of the "anti-racist" activists denying the sign's message. They merely seek to silence the message and the messenger, including by violating his property rights, and anything else that they can think up.

Harrison Mayor Jeff Crockett’s Response to Billboard


 

Upload and post by grandmacaesar

Published on Oct 17, 2013
EDIT: THE PERSON WHO PAID FOR THE SIGN RESPONDED

On October 15th, 2013, a new billboard went up in Harrison, Arkansas. On October 17th, the mayor met with supporters and protesters for a scheduled statement.

The man who paid for the sign was interviewed that day as well, by the Harrison Daily Times. This article appeared on the front page of the Saturday-Sunday, October 19-20 edition.:

Man Behind the Sign

by BRYAN HIX "The primary need for the First Amendment -- that is, protection of free speech -- is to protect unpopular truths," says the man who told the Daily Times he rented the billboard that has proven contentious not only in Harrison, but across the entire U.S.

In an interview conducted Thursday, October 27, the billboard's sponsor -- who asked that his name remain anonymous -- discussed some of the reasoning behind his decision to post the message.

"The word, 'racist' is a loaded term -- loaded against white people," the man said. "It's a public secret. Everyone knows it's the truth, and yet, no one will talk about it."

"This is an issue unique to white people in America. In reality, non-whites don't have to measure their words -- they are not constantly required to consider whether or not their words are going to offend someone. If you're white in this country, you have to constantly 'self-censor,' or risk be unfairly branded a racist. If someone, who happens to be white, disagrees with one of President Obama's policies, for example, that person is often branded a racist."

The man further says that this societal, kneejerk reaction -- that of labeling those with dissenting opinions "racist" actually serves to intimidate good people and stifles free speech, even when their dissenting opinions have nothing to do with race.

"True progress depends on not labeling any one segment of our society as 'racist,'" the man said, "or implying that racism is the exclusive domain of white people."

As for why he has chosen to remain anonymous, the man says his identity is irrelevant to the issue at hand.

"What's important is the message," he says. "It was deliberately designed to prompt debate and discussion -- to highlight the double standard that exists in this country, with respect to expressing differences of opinion. Again, the First Amendment was not intended to solely protect a select few -- it is meant to protect everyone."

"The reaction to the billboard has really illuminated the issue," the man continued, "and the protesters are proving my point for me. For the most part, people have been successfully conditioned to react in a certain way when they see or hear the word 'racist.' We're witnessing the product of that conditioning."

With regard to the backlash Harrison Signs has experienced for leasing him the billboard, the man said he believes it is unfortunate.

"They have displayed their genuine commitment to the spirit of the First Amendment," he said, "they've passed that test."

Asked about why he has chosen to neither confirm nor deny any affiliation with the Ku Klux Klan or other white-supremacy groups, the man says he wants to maintain the focus of the controversy on the message, rather than the messanger.

"Read it, think about it," the man said. "The message stands on its own. It shouldn't be colored by any presumed associations."

_______________________________

There was another article on the front page titled "Task Force Plans Reaction". I won't print it in its entirety. It didn't mention in the article, but it appears as if the "supporters of the Harrison Community Task Force on Race Relations" meeting may have only been four people (including the writer of the article). Here's a sample paragraph from the article:

Prior to adjourning the meeting, attendees sought to settle on a slogan to offset the sentiment expressed on the billboard. After the initially proposed "Love Thy Neighbor" was deemed to be "too Christian," and another slogan, suggested by a representative from Equality Revolution---"Love, Equality, Human"---failed to gain support, the group ultimately settled on "Love Your Neighbor."

End Remedial Ed at CUNY?

 
[See also, at WEJB/NSU: “Q: Should colleges offer remedial-education programs for students?”]


By Nicholas Stix

Back in the mid-to-late 1990s, I wrote mostly about religion and education. Certain editors and functionaries at non-profits were after me to write for them, but had no interest in paying me for my work. But that was during the period between the failure of my magazine, A Different Drummer, and my writing for the Internet, and it was really hard getting published in New York, at least it was for someone unwilling to write racial socialist propaganda. Much of my paid work in those days was for out-of-state outlets like Chronicles, Insight on the News, and Middle American News.

However, I did manage to get at least 10 articles, mostly on the City University of New York, published in local dailies, all of them pseudonymously.

I wrote the second of the following two articles for the Daily News, which was then moderate to conservative on education, just like its neocon rival, the New York Post. The News has since moved way to the left, with the Post hot on its heels.

I don’t recall that I knew my article would be part of a debate, but in any event, I didn’t get to see “Dennis Walcott’s” opposing piece in advance. The scare quotes are because Walcott didn’t write his piece. As head of the New York Urban League, he was one of the city’s biggest racist poverty pimps. Those kinds of people never write their own copy. That’s what staffers are for. And yet, even his staffer showed no knowledge of remedial college education, neither on the scholarly nor on the practical level.

At that point, I’d been teaching college remediation for six years.

The News published my piece first. That was necessary, because if you read Walcott’s piece first, it looks as though I’d been given it to read in advance, and was responding to it. (I switched the order.) The reason my piece reads like a response to “Walcott” is because remedialistas, as I called them, were talking points machines, and always used the same ones, which insinuated that critics were the enemies of “mothers,” “immigrants,” “the poor,” “minorities,” “working students,” “part-timers,” etc. Thus, I could have written “Walcott’s” piece for his staffer.

While reading Walcott’s staffer’s piece, ask yourself the following questions:

• Does the staffer offer actual arguments in favor of remedial education, as opposed to special pleading for why certain groups should be exempted from having to meet academic standards?; and
• Does the staffer indicate the existence of a remedial method that would accelerate the intellectual and literary abilities of unqualified applicants, up to the point of catching up to qualified applicants, and how the method would work?
 

End remedial ed at CUNY?
March 24, 1998
Daily News

No, let’s help kids in need
By Dennis M. Walcott

THE TRUSTEES of City University of New York have postponed until next month a vote on a proposal to virtually dismantle remedial education at CUNY. The delay is good—if it gives them time to reconsider this misguided idea.

There’s a simple reality, and we should not kid ourselves about it: Some of today’s CUNY students need remedial assistance to bring them up to college level in some subjects. So do some of the students in private colleges and universities—even elite ones.

And so did some of CUNY’s students from the romanticized good old days.

[That’s a lie. What were the future Nobel Prize winners at the City College of New York, which was academically the toughest undergraduate school in America getting remediation in—Quantum Theory? Number Theory? Gimme a break! Then again, then there was no CUNY, which wasn’t even founded until 1961.]

The Legislature created CUNY to “maintain and expand its commitment to academic excellence” and to provide “equal access and opportunity for students, faculty and staff from all ethnic and racial groups and from both sexes.” These goals are not mutually exclusive. [The hell, they aren’t! “Equal access” and “equal opportunity” have very different meanings.] And remedial courses don’t drive these goals further apart – it brings them closer together. [Only if opposites are identical.]

Consider the average CUNY student: nearly one-third support children; nearly half the freshman were born outside the U.S. mainland; most are from poor families; two-thirds are members of minority groups; two-thirds work while attending college, and 70% will need to attend on a part-time basis at some point.

Many of these young people have to struggle mightily to achieve their [radically dumbed-down] degree. For a majority, there is no alternative—they want and need a college education and can’t afford to go elsewhere.

Persistence, sacrifice and fortitude seem like powerful indicators of future academic excellence to me. [Without academic ability?]

Remediation is not a dirty word. CUNY-wide, only one student in five requires remedial work [he pulled that number out of a hat]; at the senior colleges, it’s less than 10%. Yet in the public debate, the entire system is vilified.

Certainly, there should be improvements in remedial education [like what?], and there are positive aspects to Interim Chancellor Christoph Kimmich’s proposal for upgrading it. [Like how?] CUNY needs collaboration with public schools, expanded pre-freshman summer school programs, language immersion courses and special courses for returning adults. [How would those things improve remediation?]

But if wholesale restrictions are imposed, a door to a better future will be unfairly closed for countless thousands of people. All New York will suffer for it: The fastest growth in the job market will be for men and women with college degrees. [Only because New York has chased almost all blue-collar industry away, and devalued a high school diploma to the point of being worthless.] Discourage students now, and New York’s homegrown labor force will be uncompetitive, we will be less likely to attract new industries, and our economy will suffer. [What new industries can a city of dunces attract?]

If CUNY students need remediation or take longer to complete their college education, we should be encouraging them to keep at it instead of adding to the burdens they carry of balancing study with work and raising a family.

I’d much rather have young people—and adults, for that matter—in college and slowly working toward their degrees than have them shut out from a college education. In fact, we should be urging the state to expand the tuition Assistance Program to part-time students. [More wasted billions of taxpayer dollars!]

The effort to end remediation and open admissions is, at heart, an attempt to build a more exclusive world for the privileged few. [Ridiculous. The privileged few never attended CUNY; they attend NYU and Columbia, just as in the past. He’s calling brilliant but penniless whites and Asians “the privileged few.”] It ignores the fact that the programs we are talking about for a small fraction [the majority] of CUNY students are no different than the helping hand each of us has received at sometime in our lives. [That is exactly what “Obama” would say about 14 years later, as a rationalization for socialism!]

Our goal should be to build a more inclusive society that supports everyone who wants to compete. [But he is speaking against competition, and for a free ride for certain groups.] Let us not romanticize the past in an attempt to raise standards – and in so doing, make the future blanker for so many New Yorkers. [He is lying about and demonizing the past.]

 
Walcott is the president and chief executive officer of the New York Urban league and adjunct lecturer at CUNY’s York College. [N.S.: He is now New York City Schools Chancellor!]
 

[N.S.: There are no arguments, and no facts. Just talking points, which are all reducible either to special pleading or pure fiction.]
 

Yes, to raise standards
By Robert Berman

I HAVE TWO WORDS to contribute to the debate on remediation in higher education: palatable mansion.

The phrase was in a student’s sociology paper. When her remedial instructor had the temerity to correct the countless errors in one of her English essays, the outraged student whipped out the sociology paper, which untouched by corrections, had received an A. “They take it personally,” noted the instructor.

The trustees of the City University of New York are expected to vote next month on a comprehensive plan that seeks to curtail remedial classes. Remediation’s defenders say that only “racists” who seek to “whiten” CUNY would consider limiting remediation. This conflict must be understood in context.

Context: I’ve spent six years teaching remedial and college-level courses in New York (including at CUNY) and New Jersey, and I’ve seen firsthand the leveling of the two. Remedial classes have remained at the childish level of students’ public school work, while college-level classes have been recalibrated downward to match the remedial classes. Too often, both classes are targeted to unmotivated students who are indifferent, baffled by, or downright hostile to the written word.

Context: More than 80% of the city’s public school teachers are CUNY grads and themselves the products of this watered-down system. Many are semi-literate.

Context: Many CUNY students have drifted through 13 years of public schooling that required little or no work, progressing only through social promotion. They’ve suffered the ill-effects of self-esteem pedagogy and English-free (meaning bilingual) education.

CUNY’s expense and capital budgets total $4.45 billion—about $21,000 per student, or more than the cost of many private universities. Yet only 9% of senior college students graduate in four years, and only 1.3% of community college students graduate in two years. And most students at Remedial U never do attain college-level standards.

CUNY’s defenders say you can’t expect blacks, Hispanics, single mothers and immigrants to do college-level work without help. They claim CUNY’s “golden age” was a product of privilege (read: whiteness).

But the students who made CUNY great, beginning in the 1910s, were often poorer than their contemporary counterparts, and virtually all worked to help support their families. They received no remediation.

Moreover, the giants of the black educational tradition—men like Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. DuBois, and Carter G. Woodson—endured the darkest days of American racism, yet they set Olympian standards of conduct and scholarship.

Limited remediation might achieve modest success. But such success requires heroic educators and obsessively perfectionist students. Some immigrant strivers fit this profile; American-born students rarely do. And few instructors are willing to put in the necessarily painstaking work, especially when it comes to correcting work.

Remedialistas insist CUNY students are not at fault for having been underserved by the public schools. They’re right; CUNY’s professors and the city’s public school teachers are responsible. These so-called educators make taxpayers pay for a high school education again and again and…

[P.S. October 21, 2013: More accurately, an elementary school education.]

That’s why, like Mayor Giuliani and many others, I recommend that all CUNY remedial classes be eliminated. That would force high school teachers to work harder, decelerate the dumbing down of college-level classes, and slow the flood of semi-literates into the teaching profession.

Granted, that is still not enough to restore CUNY’s lost luster. But it would go a long way toward building more “palatable mansions.”

Danziger Bridge Five Retrial Ordered—Because of “Significant and Repugnant” Misconduct by Obama DOJ

Excerpts from Judge Kurt Englehardt’s order for new trial in Danziger Bridge cases
September 19, 2013
The [Baton Rouge] Advocate

“This case started as one featuring allegations of brazen abuse of authority, violation of the law, and corruption of the criminal justice system; unfortunately, though the focus has switched from the accused to the accusors (sic), it has continued to be about those very issues. After much reflection, the Court cannot journey as far as it has in this case only to ironically accept grotesque prosecutorial misconduct in the end.”

“The government, through DOJ, is instilled by the United States Constitution and statutory authority with great investigatory and prosecutorial powers: the power to initiate investigations, empanel grand juries, call and subpoena witnesses and the production of documents before grand juries. The government likewise is equipped with a vast network of law enforcement officers. ... Much to the Court’s consternation, however, this apparently is not enough to some, as evidenced here.
Try as it might, the Court cannot fathom why at least three (four, counting government agency employee “A”) highly intelligent, experienced and respected officials of DOJ thought posting comments publicly online was a good idea, other than to have their corrosive opinions on public display for all to see, read, and accept as correct. The publication by DOJ employees of inflammatory invectives, accusatory screeds, and vitriolic condemnations, both directly and by the express encouragement of others to do the same, should confound and alarm any reasonable observer of the criminal justice process.”

In the Court’s view, however, the fact that the government’s actions were conducted in anonymity makes it all the more egregious, and forces the Court, the defendants, and the public into an indecent game of “catch-me-if-you-can.”

“The government’s actions, and initial lack of candor and credibility thereafter, is like scar tissue that will long evidence infidelity to the principles of ethics, professionalism, and basic fairness and common sense necessary to every criminal prosecution, wherever it should occur in this country. In fact, many of the charges included by the DOJ in the indictment filed against these defendants are designed to serve the purpose of maintaining honesty, integrity, professionalism, and the protection of the public from those who abuse their authority in the criminal justice system. Those purposes likewise must be served in the prosecution of those accused of violating them.”

“Some may consider the undersigned’s view of the cited rules and regulations as atavistic; but courts can ignore this online “secret” social media misconduct at their own peril. Indeed the time may soon come when, some day, some court may overlook, minimize, accept, or deem such prosecutorial misconduct harmless “fun.” Today is not that day, and Section N of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana is not that court.”

Five people were arrested after a man was attacked and robbed in a Go-Mart parking lot in Charleston, WV on Oct. 13.

According to Sgt. Hazelett with the Charleston Police Dept., at about 7 p.m. the victim walked onto the parking lot of the Go-Mart on Bigley Avenue and was approached by two men.

According to police, the two men asked the victim if he wanted to buy marijuana. When he refused, one of the two men started to hit him. It is unclear which man started the attack. During the attack, the two men knocked the victim to ground and tore off his shirt and jacket.

While the victim was on the ground, two women and another man walked up. One of the women acted as lookout while the other two joined the attack. When the man managed to get to his feet, one of the women, identified as Lauren Watson, shocked the man with a stun gun.

Police say the suspects began to walk away but started to chase the man after he gathered his clothes and ran to a nearby Family Dollar store. According to police, the victim was attacked for a second time outside of the Family Dollar.

Witnesses on the scene gave police descriptions of the suspects and an apartment where they could be found.

At some point during the attack $40 was taken from the victim.

The Reincarnation of American Renaissance?

By Nicholas Stix

I was deeply disturbed, as I’m sure many of you were, when Jared Taylor stopped publishing American Renaissance magazine. Granted, Jared still publishes articles at AmRen’s Web site (and I owe him a few!), but it just isn’t the same. I haven’t asked him why he did it, but as a onetime magazine publisher, who still has recurring dreams in which I am back in business, I could imagine why: The cost of printing and postage.

Well, Jared may have a spiritual son, Karl F. Boetel, who is publishing Radish Mag.

Boetel deals with highly disturbing material: Race. His trick is to be patient, and variously deadpan and sardonic.

I just stumbled onto a brilliant recent issue. One of Boetel’s simple yet radical methods is to compare police officials’ words to the known facts of black-on-white attacks, which the cops insisted were not racially motivated.
