| h/t Instapundit In one of those lapses of news judgment that with regrettable frequency make mainstream journalists resemble characters in Scoop, the media herd that gathered in Wisconsin to chronicle the great Democratic triumph in the state senate elections has gone back to the coasts — and missed what could grow into a much more consequential story than the failure of organized labor’s second attempt to punish the Wisconsin GOP: the outbreak of racial hate violence at the Wisconsin State Fair. A story that involved Scott Walker getting his just deserts, even if it didn’t quite work out that way, was infinitely more interesting to our national press than a deeply disturbing gaze into the fragile nature of our social peace.

| #1 Seems to me less about race and more about culture. Certain folks (especially in the teens and early twenties) enjoy destruction. They have learned there is now minimal downside from law enforcement or societal condemnation so they do what they please. Many are brainwashed just enough to spit back leftist platitudes to justify their actions but I don't really think they think about that nonsense until after the fact. So perhaps we have a racial angle to some of it, but I think that is likely a distraction from the greater problem. Decades of idiot policies (dumbing down schools, letting offenders off, promoting illegal immigration that cuts the knees out from the entry level job market, war on drugs that provides money opportunities). |
