GEORGETOWN – D.C. Police are working to identify about a dozen teens wanted for setting up a “flash mob”-style robbery at a high-end jeans store in Georgetown two weeks ago.

Surveillance videos from Feb. 20 shows the teens entering the True Religion Brand Jeans store on M Street just before 6:30 p.m.

The teens then stuffed more than a thousand dollars worth of the jeans into bags they’d brought with them before running out of the store, in just a couple minutes.

“I can’t believe all of those people could steal something all at one time,” said Maria Suyat, an employee at the neighboring Camper shoe store. “…We’ve had plenty of people steal a few shoes just from our window display, so I can only imagine having all that merchandise taken all at once.” (more…)

Trayvon Martin was not an end, he was a beginning to an end. His death was a useful tool at a specific moment in time.  The actual goal was established long before George and Trayvon encountered each other.

Affirmative Action had run its natural course. Doors had opened and what began as an extension of the Civil Rights movement was no longer a useful tool for social engineering.
Equality in opportunity (Affirmative Action) had long been established. What was now needed was a progressive evolution to equality in outcome; enter “Disparate Impact” to take its place.
The entire construct of all the various alliances which sought benefit from using the Trayvon Martin shooting had one thing in common – the goal of social justice through equal outcomes. Zimmerman himself was irrelevant, merely a face/name to replace the worn out mantra of “the man”.
In the 60’s the Civil Rights Act was established to legislate equal opportunity. In the 70’s and 80’s Affirmative Action, or broadly “quota systems”, were put into place to leverage a social-equity in organizational entry. Through the 90’s and early part of the 21st century various studies were conducted to insure the entry opportunity was fundamentally well established. The entry was there, but for the social scientists the problem shifted to the “outcomes”. The outcomes were simply not matching the opportunities. (more…)

This story explains why the President Obama administration consider the back-story of Trayvon Martin’s criminal engagements to be a risk.

WASHINGTON DC – The head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division says the “next generation” of civil rights challenges includes addressing racial disparities in school discipline; defending the rights of LGBT Americans; combating discrimination in housing and in lending; protecting women from sexual assault and harassment; ensuring the fair treatment of youth in the juvenile justice system; and defending the right to vote in the 21st Century.
“In recent months, the Civil Rights Division has reached landmark consent decrees involving each of these issues,” Jocelyn Samuels, the acting assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division, told a civil rights symposium in Indianapolis on Tuesday. (more…)

Typical progressive mindset.  Next year Danny Glover stars in a remake of “Plan-9 from Outer Space”, a shoo-in…. 

HOLLYWOOD – If you were watching the Oscars on Sunday night, you no doubt saw Steve McQueen’s film 12 Years A Slavetake the Best Picture prize. But two Academy members revealed to the L.A. Times that they didn’t even see it, claiming that it would be an uncomfortable film for them to watch.
Instead, they voted for it because of the relevance and importance the film, which is a real-life, harrowing account of Solomon Northup’s years as a free man captured and sold into slavery in the South.
It’s ironic, considering that the job of an Academy voter is, you know, to actually watch these films before making a decision on what’s the best of the best. But it’s not entirely shocking. (more…)

Quick….someone ask Harry Reid if he still wants that “broad discussion” of civil rights in America.

Staff at the Daily Breeze were so overcome with joy they could hardly contain themselves.  They quickly went to press with a front-page headline that  read:  “‘Slave’ becomes master.”  What the paper wasn’t prepared for, however, was the barrage of criticism that would soon be coming their way.

Yet again, the PC media censor the racial aspect to the attacks.  

•In the first attack a 23 year old white male was walking home at night (video of attack here);  He was attacked by a young black male.   •In the second attack a 36 year old white female was walking at 12:30pm in broad daylight when she was attacked by four black teen males.
The news video of the second attack, on the female, which includes the CCTV footage is disturbing.   The attack is not disturbing per se, the responses from the neighbors are disturbing.  Summed up they announce “meh – whatever”.
NEW YORK – Police are looking for a suspect who walked up to a 23-year-old man on a Lower East Side street and punched him in the face early Thursday, knocking him unconscious and breaking his jaw.
The victim says he’s “frightened and frustrated” after the random attack, and is hoping the suspect is found before anyone is hurt again.
The YouTube ID of iPCvWHvK3nE?feature=player_embedded is invalid.
Authorities say the suspect sneaked up behind the victim, Kyle Rogers, near the Bowery Mission and hit him with a closed fist before running off. Rogers passed out and woke up in the ambulance with a broken jaw. Police released the surveillance video Thursday and are asking for the public’s help in tracking down the suspect, described as a black man in his 20s. (more…)

This perpetual meme of naming all things racist is wearing beyond thin… The mall policy has been in place since 2004.   After the Newsbuster article we’ll show why.
(Via NewsBusters)  Sunny Hostin blasted an Indiana mall’s ban of people wearing raised hoodies on Thursday’s New Day: “This is…akin, in my view…to ‘stop and frisk’ – to the pretext of ‘stop and frisk’ – and I think many courts have found that this type of behavior is unacceptable, and downright unconstitutional.”

The CNN legal analyst also contended that “‘hoodie’ is code for ‘thug’ in many places,” and later claimed that “to identify just hoodies in my view…it’s very, very clear what we’re talking about here. We’re talking about racial profiling. It’s code for racial profiling.
Anchor Chris Cuomo took on the role of Hostin’s sparring partner during the segment. Cuomo first noted, in defense of the commercial complex, that “the mall says, we’ve had it in place since 2004, so don’t hit me with the Trayvon Martin stick…[and] had it in place because the local police like it, and they like it because they feel it makes it easier to fight crime because it allows people to not conceal themselves. Wear your hoodie – just don’t have it concealing your face, so I can identify you in case anything happens.” (more…)

(Orlando Sentinel – Jeff Weiner) The behind-the-scenes turbulence of U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson‘s family life continued to spill into public view Wednesday as his attorneys worked to combat his wife’s recently revealed domestic-violence allegations.

The congressman’s lawyers revealed video of the domestic incident that played out at the Grayson home Saturday, which they said proved that Lolita Grayson committed an attack, not her husband.

“He was hoping that this matter would stay in the courts and outside of the press, but since horrendous accusations have been made against him … he believes that the truth must come out,” Grayson’s attorney Mark NeJame told reporters during a news conference in downtown Orlando.

Cop Killer Apologist, Debo Adegbile’s nomination defeated.  Dear leader calls vote results “travesty”…

WASHINGTON DC – Seven Senate Democrats joined Republicans to block President Barack Obama’s pick of Debo P. Adegbile to lead the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division amid a controversy over his legal defense of convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal.

Adegbile’s nomination needed a simple majority to cut off debate but the chamber voted 47-52 against him.

Democrats Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, Chris Coons of Delaware, Joe Donnelly of Indiana, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Mark Pryor of Arkansas and John Walsh of Montana all voted no. Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., also voted no in order to preserve his right to reconsider the vote. If Adegbile had mustered just two more votes plus Reid, Vice President Joseph Biden was on hand to cast a possible tie-breaking vote.  (read more)
