Cities across the nation are seeing a startling rise in murders after years of declines, and few places have witnessed a shift as precipitous as this city. With the summer not yet over, 104 people have been killed this year -- after 86 homicides in all of 2014. More than 30 other cities have also reported increases in violence from a year ago.According to the New York Times article dated Sept. 1, homicides committed to this point this year are outpacing homicides committed to this point in 2014. The report highlights these troubled cities: Milwaukee (murders up 76 percent); St. Louis (up 60 percent); Baltimore (up 56 percent); Washington, D.C. (up 44 percent); New Orleans (up 22 percent); Chicago (up 20 percent); Kansas City, Mo. (up 20 percent); Dallas (up 17 percent); New York (up 9 percent); and Philadelphia (up 4 percent). But Obama and the Left are not to blame. Times reporters Monica Davey and Mitch Smith seem genuinely perplexed, scratching their heads wondering where all this bloody violence might be coming from. Law enforcement experts blame "disparate factors" though "no one is claiming to know for sure why murder rates are climbing," Davey and Smith write. Recycling boilerplate from old news article, they write that rivalries between "organized street gangs," "the availability of guns," and "a growing willingness among disenchanted young men in poor neighborhoods to use violence to settle ordinary disputes" as major factors. Maybe it's the "Ferguson effect," they speculate, describing it as "the notion that less aggressive policing has emboldened criminals." Although it "is a popular theory for the uptick in violence," they write that "many experts dispute that theory." They quote criminology professor Alfred Blumstein of Carnegie Mellon University saying, "[t]he equilibrium has changed between police and offenders." St. Louis, Mo., police chief Sam Dotson has been credited with coining the term the "Ferguson effect." He was referring to the Left's never-ending drumbeat against the police which is causing some cops to refrain from using force when it is appropriate. Recently in Birmingham, Alabama, a plainclothes police officer was beaten senseless by an angry black driver. The cop admits he hesitated in defending himself because he was afraid he might be called racist. This pervasive cop-hatred contributed to civil unrest last fall in Ferguson, a St. Louis suburb, both before and after a grand jury decided not to indict white police officer Darren Wilson for killing young black male Michael Brown. Brown, who had just held up a convenience store minutes before, battered the policeman, and tried to grab his handgun. Wilson shot Brown in self-defense but the politically motivated lie that Wilson gunned him down while he was trying to surrender persists and the media perpetuates this lie by continuing to describe Brown as an unarmed black man instead of explaining the circumstances of the case. (One notable exception is the Washington Post's Jonathan Capehart, a black left-wing columnist who acknowledged in March that Wilson was a victim of Brown, and not the other way around.) Of course the New York Times and the rest of the mainstream media have done everything in their power to ramp up racial hostility across the fruited plain during the Obama presidency. They lied about why Darren Wilson had to shoot his would-be killer "gentle giant" Michael Brown. They turned racist, black, gay Obama supporter Vester Lee Flanagan II, who murdered two white former TV station colleagues (in part because they were white) during a live broadcast in Virginia, into an example of why more gun control was needed. They sat by silently as then-Attorney General Eric Holder let voter intimidation charges against New Black Panther Party members in Philadelphia slide because black-shirted black nationalists are an important component of the Obama coalition.
"It's open season on killing white people and cops. It's unavoidable, unescapable. It's funny that now we're moving to a time where the predator will become the prey."Noble continued:
Today we live in a time where the white man will be picked off and there's nothing he can do about it. His day is up. His time is up. We will witness more executions and killing of white people and cops than we ever have before. We see with the Houston, Texas shooting and we see with the news reporting shooting in Virginia, it's about to go down. It's open season on killing white people and crackers. The Black Lives Matter movement wasn't enough.He added:
It's not safe no more to be white in America. Lurking behind any corner could be an angry black man ready to take yo # out. It's a reality. It's open season on killing whites and police and they better make some serious, serious changes, social changes, at this point, but it ain't looking good.At time of writing, the viral video posted Aug. 30 had been viewed more than 444,000 times. Normally this kind of extremist rhetoric would be ignored or laughed at, but we do not live in normal times. President Obama doesn't condemn any of it, which is reason for all Americans to worry.
