http://deadstate.org/a-domestic-terror-attack-just-happened-in-los-angeles-and-no-one-noticed/According to The Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department, the men were yelling racial slurs and heil Hitler while flying a Confederate flag in Stephen Sorensen Park. The men then attacked three Hispanic teens, prompting the family of one of the teens to intervene in the fight. The white supremacists produced knives in response and started to threaten the family members....
The only time the word terrorism or terrorist is used is when the perpetrator happens to be an Arab or a Muslim, said Abed Ayoud, legal and policy director for Washington DC-based think tank American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee.
When the perpetrator happens to be a white American then the terminology is changed. So if its a white person then often we will hear that they have mental issues, they are troubled, different descriptions for their mental state.

Back in the day, they used to confine themselves to their compounds and shoot each other. Now they are coming out an attacking innocent civilians. They are no different than the IRA in the UK back in the days of The Troubles, although the IRA actually had a legitimate gripe against the UK. Those Aryan Brotherhood and KKK have none.

(101,271 posts)Three men pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges related to an alleged racially motivated attack on Hispanic victims at a Lake Los Angeles park the previous week, the Los Angeles County District Attorneys Office announced Wednesday.
Ian Justine Plankey, 20, Richard Lawrence Daulton, 19, and Kevin Matthew Stewart, 25, were each charged with two felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon and one felony count of assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury, the DAs office stated in a news release.
...
The victims were playing soccer and speaking Spanish when the alleged attack occurred on the afternoon of Feb. 28 at Stephen Sorensen Park, prosecutors said.
Three white men approached the members of the group, harassed them and eventually began assaulting them, beating them up, according to Deputy Maxwell with the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department.

Unless you were saying that the media can only cope with one Southern California race-related violent incident at a time?

(100,041 posts)I've been reading a lot about this since that happened so close to home. What it sounds like to me - and don't quote me on this - was that the KKK provoked the counter protestors which started the whole brew ha ha. If they're claiming self defense they really don't have anyone to blame but themselves.

(7,723 posts)That being said, apparently the KKK asked for police protection and didn't give it.
The video of the incident is freakishly weird, with flagpoles being used to stab people and blood all over.
Those hispanic teens can be out of control, especially when their parents are around.
but seriously......

(75,480 posts)When I was forced to work side by side with family members of those swastika heads, I often suggested that they should go join the Marines or Army. They could have all their guns and shoot up all the brown people to their little hearts desire. I didn't bother to mention that a lot of their fellow warriors would also be brown people and those ME fighters they would be up against would probably clean their clocks.

(7,234 posts)About 4:30 p.m., a police cruiser was chasing a car toward the Chet Holfield Federal Building at 24000 Avila Road, according to witnesses.
The vehicle made it through the concrete barriers and hit a federal employee, possibly a security guard, in the back of the federal building. Paramedics rushed him to a hospital with unknown injuries.
The suspect was arrested. Witnesses said they saw him scoping out the parking lot earlier in the day and was asked to leave.

About 4:30 p.m., the driver struck the investigator outside the Chet Holifield Federal Building in Laguna Niguel and crashed into a maintenance garage near the side of the facility, according to a law enforcement source who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The driver, identified as Geoffrey Rickner, 45, of Laguna Niguel, was allegedly motivated by antipathy for the federal government, according to the source, who was not authorized to speak on the record about the incident.
The driver was taken into custody at the scene, FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said. Both the driver and the injured federal employee were taken to a hospital in unknown condition.
The Orange County Sheriff's Department also responded to the scene and deployed its bomb squad to survey for explosives, sheriff's Lt. Mark Stichter said.

Notice how the media calls this white terrorist a "driver" and a "motorist".

(19,326 posts)Just like in Oregon recently, armed robbery of public lands, threatening local officials while armed,
and destruction of pubic property somehow equated to the M$M as the perps being "activists" or "militants"...
... NOT DOMESTICE TERRORISTS really?
Oh did I mention that the perps were also white supremacists?
YUUGE double standard here. One for black/brown people, and another one entirely for whites.

(57,936 posts)White Americans aren't terrorists, no matter how many people they kill. They are just having emotional problems and need help.
Let's get real. Hate is hate no matter the color of the hater. Death is death no matter the color of the victim. Injury is also injury no matter the color of the victim. Or religion may I add.

(90,562 posts)So what is your source so aggrieved about? The KKK is a nasty ugly thing that we thought was in the past, and it shows up in SoCal this week. That most definitely made the news.

(4,820 posts)Everyone assumed it was a muslim terror attack. When they caught Tim Mcvey with the evidence, the story quickly turned to deranged mental case. His Michigan militia friends were just out of control junior high school like weirdos.
