Title: If you're white or latino, don't walk around in Denver.
Post by: Derrick on Dec 22, 2009, 06:44:14 PM: Or maybe you can, since they snagged 32 people.

Racial attacks like the ones behind the arrest of 32 suspects in Denver are part of a trend spreading across the country, gang experts said Saturday.

As part of the trend, black gang members videotape the assaults in trendy tourist districts and sell them on the underground market as entertainment.

"They knock a young white guy out with one blow to see if his knees will wobble and surround them and take their money," said the Rev. Leon Kelly, who runs a Denver gang-prevention program. "It's a joke."

Denver police announced the 32 arrests Friday after a months-long undercover investigation into what authorities said were racially motivated assaults and robberies in Denver, including in the Lower Downtown entertainment district.

A task force including Denver cops, FBI agents and prosecutors from District Attorney Mitch Morrissey's office identified 26 incidents since July in which the gangs assaulted or robbed white or Latino men. The offenders took wallets, iPods, cash and other small items.

Most of the suspects admitted they belonged to either the Rollin' 60s Crips gang or the Black Gangster Disciples gang.

Murray disagreed with Kelly that police only aggressively pursued the gangs after they started targeting whites.

"If a group of white supremacists were targeting blacks, we would go after them," he said.

Though robbery is a predominant motivation of the gang members, it is more complicated than that, Kelly said.

Wow. Just... wow. Again, no national coverage because the victims weren't black.

Post by: B E C K on Dec 27, 2009, 09:44:27 PM: I'm short, but just the right height to stretch my arms all the way up while standing and not get defingered by the ceiling fan.
Title: Re: If you're white or latino, don't walk around in Denver.
Post by: Rama on Dec 27, 2009, 11:29:12 PM: Actually that would depend on ceiling height and size of the fan. I mean a fan in room with 7 foot ceilings that hung down 18 inches and you are missing fingers.

I still don't get it. I understand the article talked about Caucasian non-Hispanics and Hispanics being attacked, but primarily Caucasian non-Hispanics. But what does any of this have to do with height?

No, it wouldn't since I was referring to the fans where I live. Although my dad has a nine foot ceiling and giant fan. How tall would someone have to be to get de-fingered there?

Post by: Rama on Dec 30, 2009, 12:22:10 AM: Well...how long are their arms and how high are their shoulders? But I would imagine anything over 7 foot would be in trouble.
