SPLC Calls on Ala. Cities to Remove Confederate Pedestals, I Call on SPLC to Get Blacks to Stop Shooting and Killing Other Blacks

The front end of this headline was from June 26, 2021. The last part is from me.

Personally, I believe a bigger issue with the black community is from all the shootings and killings of each other.  This occurs across the United States and especially in Chicago.  They are shooting and killing each other.  The Confederate monuments are NOT doing this to them.  The Confederate monuments have been standing for a hundred plus years and in that time, have not hurt any Blacks other than the one in Portsmouth, Virginia, who the statue fell on as he was pulling it down.

Just look at these numbers for Chicago:

For this past weekend from Friday noon to Monday 2:30 am:  10 killed, 62 wounded

Last week's total:  19 killed, 91 wounded

For September so far:  76 killed, 368 wounded

For 2021 so far:  601 killed, 2,913 wounded

Now, granted not all of these numbers are Blacks, but they make up a huge percentage of them.

SPLC, those noted anti-Confederate listmakers, has the word law in their name and should be working harder to stop this illegal practice.

Come On SPLC, Get Your Priorities Straight.  --Old Secesh

It Is So Sad That the SCV Has to Go Through All That Precaution to Rebury Gen. Forrest and His Wife

Their bodies are finally out of that city by the Mississippi River which never did anything to stop the desecration that certain non-white groups and their white minions did to the tombs of Nathan Bedford Forrest and his wife, Mary Anne.

But, as the Sons of Confederate Veterans get ready to rebury them in a place of safety, the amount of precaution they have to go through is amazing.  This should not happen to the dead.

Why do you suppose all the precautions have to be taken?

And, in the meantime, so far during the Labor Day weekend in Chicago, the tally of shootings, most of whom are Black-on-Black, stands at 6 killed and 60 wounded.  One of the five dead is a 4-year-old boy.

Just Doesn't Make Sense.  --Old Secesh

Hey BLM and NAACP, Where Are the Marches and Protests After a Chicago Cop Was Killed In Line of Duty and Another Wounded?

What if it had been the cops shooting and killing the occupants of the car?  What would BLM or the NAACP have had to say about that?

Have either group sent condolences?

Have they condemned the actions of the people in the car?

And, I'm kind of surprised that SPLC has not come up with one of their famous lists showing times cop have been killed or wounded by Blacks.

***************************************

Meanwhile, the statistics for Chicago:

LAST WEEKEND:

13 killed, 74 wounded

WEEK IN PROGRESS (8/8 to 8/14):

12 killed, 80 wounded

AUGUST TO DATE:

35 killed, 184 wounded

YEAR TO DATE:

475 killed, 2306 wounded

You can get updated stats at the Hey Jackass, Chicago Mayhem site.

****************************************

Most of the wounded and killed were Blacks, shot by other Blacks in case you didn't know.  And, sadly, this is not just happening in Chicago.

Which is more of a threat to black people, a Confederate statue or flag, or certain other black people?

That SPLC and Their List!!! List Me. Another Night Time Statue Removal.

MARCH 2, 2021

**  Renaming options set for  Jacksonville high school named for Confederate general.  (Jacksonville, Florida.  Gen. Edmund Kirby Smith.  Maybe we should have SPLC give us a list of "acceptable" names.)

**  Kentucky  among states that removed a combined 168 Confederate monuments in 2020.  (Three in Kentucky, one in Indiana, none in Tennessee.)

*****************************************

MARCH 3, 2021

**  Virginia is  losing some Confederate symbols, but others still travel its roads.  (There are still 1776 SCV license plates on the roads.  What would SPLC think of this?  Do they have a LIST of names of those people?)

**  SC senator files resolution to remove Confederate  naval jack from the Citadel.  (A white man, but Democrat.)

**  Alabama tied for most Confederate symbols removed in 2020.    (Tied with Texas with twelve.)

**  Confederate statue in Huntsville, Madison County, Alabama, taken down in the middle of the night.  What's with these night time take downs.  We all know what happens and why certain people operate at night.  What does SPLC think about this.  Did they update their LIST?)

**  North Carolina is second in the nation for removing Confederate monuments.   (Just a few entries earlier I had one saying Alabama and Texas tied for the most removed.  Did SPLC get their LIST wrong?

**  Virginia #1, North Carolina #2 nationwide in Confederate  symbol removal in 2020.

And, in the meantime, how many Blacks wounded and killed other Blacks in Chicago in 2020.  Come on SPLC, we need to know another important list.

--Old Secesh

Regardless, I'll Still Call the Bases By Their Original Name. FBI Going After 'Confederate Flag Guy'

JANUARY 11, 2021

**  The Pentagon is officially moving ahead with renaming bases that honor Confederate leaders.  (But, just like with Comiskey Park and the Sears Tower in Chicago, I will continue calling these bases by the original name.)

**  Defense secretary appoints NH man  to commission to rename bases.  (Joshua Whitehouse)

**  Albertville activist group put up billboard, protest for the removal of confederate (Confederate) flag, monument.  (Come on WAFF, PROPER NAME.  Alabama.)

*********************************

JANUARY 12, 2021

**  Mississippi  governor signs law removing Confederate battle emblem from state flag.

**  Confederate statues likely to go undisturbed in SC in 2021.

**  FBI calls for public help in finding 'Confederate flag guy' from Capitol riot.  (Yet, they did nothing about BLM looters, arsonists and rioters during the past summer's "civil unrest?"  What they were doing was much worse that just carrying a flag inside the Capitol.)

**  Who owns America's history?  The answer will define what replaces  fallen monuments.

**  Why is the confederate (Confederate) flag still allowed in our schools?  (IdahoEdNews. You might think educators would know a proper noun when they see one?)

With all the hoopla over that Confederate flag in the Capitol, are "they" more concerned about it or the fact that the riot took place in the first place?

Let's Take a Look at a 'Real' Black Problem, Shootings and Murders-- Part 2

Here are the preliminary 2020 totals:

Shot and Killed:  719

Shot and Wounded:  3455

Again, and sadly, most of these numbers are black people.

**********************************

Meanwhile, over in Afghanistan, U.S. fatalities over the last several years, for contrast:

2014:  54

2015:  22

2016:  14

2017:  17

2018:  15

2019:  22

2020:   9

These are all fatalities, including killed in action.

So, it appears you're safer on the streets of Afghanistan than you are in Chicago.  Do we have terrorists?

Let's Take a Look at a 'Real' Black Problem, Shootings and Murders-- Part 1: And These Aren't Being Done by Police or Confederate Statue

From the January 2, 2020,  Hey Jackass !  Illustrating Chicago values site.

Okay, every so often I like to put forth this item about a major problem in Chicago (as well as in most major U.S. cities) and that is Black on Black crime, especially when it comes to shootings and murders.  

Now, personally, I think this is a much bigger problem than Confederate statues and flags which, in themselves, may bring back bad memories, but, other than the statue that "fell" on the "protester" at Portsmouth, Virginia, at the behest of a Virginia state legislator, not one Confederate statue has attacked a black person.  No Confederate flag has flapped a black person either.

As far as I know, this site I am using is entirely legit and uses police reports to compile their very extensive list.  Well worth checking it out.

They even have maps and lots of charts and a list of neighborhoods affected by the violence.  Unfortunately, it does not list specifically the race of the victims, but looking at the names and where the shootings took place, one can get an idea of who is doing all this.

************************************

The majority of these numbers involved Blacks.

CHICAGO WEEK IN PROGRESS (12/27 to 1/2)

Shot and Killed:  12

Shot and Wounded:  33

FINAL DECEMBER NUMBERS FOR CHICAGO

Shot and Killed:  52 (an increase of 86 over 2019)

Shot and Wounded:  213  (an increase of 18% over 2019)

I'll give the totals for 2020 in the next post.

Still Thinking This Problem Needs More Attention Than Confederate Stuff.  --Old Secesh

This Makes You Wonder Where BLM Priorities Are?

From November 24, 2020,Chicago Sun-Times "Chicago hits 700 homicides in 2020; 6 die over weekend" by David Struett, CST Wire reporter.

"Chicago reached 700 homicides this year during a violent weekend that saw six killed and 46 wounded -- the second time the city reached the 700 milestone in two decades.

Meanwhile, U.S. deaths the last three years in Afghanistan:

2017:  11

2018:  13

2019:  17

Chicago has had a 53% increase in shootings this year over the same time frame in 2019.

The vast majority of those killed and wounded have been Blacks.  And, the shooters were mostly Blacks.

And yet, BLM is just focused on Blacks shot by police and Confederate monuments.

Makes you wonder just a little bit.

Maybe BLM Should Re-evaluate Its Goals.  --Old Secesh

Perhaps Blacks Should Concentrate More on Black on Black Crime Instead of Confederate Symbols (Especially in Chicago)

NOVEMBER 14, 2020

**  Confederate heritage group replaces battle flag  at Alabama monument.  (Albertville. Replaced Confederate flag with the first Alabama flag flown after secession.

**  NC NAACP  chapter sues Gaston  County over Confederate monument.  (Imagine a group like NAACP suing for this.  Kind of racist of them, isn't it.)

**  'A New Dawn': How four young black activists powered movement to remove Confederate emblem from Mississippi flag.  (By the Southern Poverty Law Center, an ultra racist group.  Maybe those four young people would better have served the cause by getting Blacks to stop shooting and killing each other in Chicago.

By the way, according to Hey Jackass, Chicago mayhem this past weekend so far resulted in 3 dead and 20 shot, mostly Blacks.   Last week's totals 11/9 to 11/14:  16 killed, 57 wounded.  November to Date:  30 killed, 134 wounded and 2020 so far:    642 killed and 3089 wounded.  Not all of these killings and woundings were Blacks, but the vast majority were.

All of this is so much more of a danger to Blacks than Confederate flags or statues.

Hey, SPLC, Still Waiting for Your List on How Many BLM Demonstrations Ended Up With Riots, Looting, Burning and Hate Crimes.   When Can We expect That List?   --Old Secesh

A Deeply Troubling Election, Cities Preparing for BLM Riots and Looting

It was with much consternation that I saw news clips over this past weekend about Chicago's preparations for tomorrow's election.  It is going to be all forces out to prevent anticipated rioting depending upon the election's outcome.

It is a sad day that this country has come to this.

And, we know who will be doing the burning, looting and rioting.  They have already done it twice in Chicago since he end of May.  

Rest assured, if Joe Biden wins, Trump supporters will not be out in the streets rioting.  But, if Donald Trump wins, you can bet that BLM and their white minions will be doing their usual thing.  And that is burning, looting and rioting.

Media will be out in force on those streets.  Always makes for good ratings.

Attention BLMers.  Bridges Up in Chicago, Don't Loot.   --Old Secesh

Should the Past Be Viewed in the Context of Their Time or In the Prism of Modern Values?

 SEPTEMBER 13, 2020

**  Crowd cheers as Charlottesville takes down statue of Confederate soldier.  (Virginia)

**  Confederate statue near site of White Nationalist rally in Charlottesville removed.  (It wasn't just the white nationalists being confrontational there, but also the radical left who came with the specific intention of causing problems.  They were successful.)

**  Caddo Parish Confederate monument to be moved to DeSoto Parish. (Louisiana.  The UDC agreed to move it because the site in front of the courthouse was no longer safe.  You know what the BLMers like to do to Confederate monuments.)

**  Where does it end?  (From Sept. 12, 2020 Charleston Express.  By Joey McCutchen.  A very thought-provoking article.  Give it a read.  Makes the point of the past being now as being viewed with modern values.)

**  Georgia mayor:  Voters to decide on Confederate monument.  (Brunswick, Georgia.  This is the way these decisions should be made.  Let the people vote.)

*****************************************

By the way, this past weekend in Chicago, Sept.11 to Sept 14:  14 killed. 44 wounded.

Month of September:  36 killed, 154 wounded

Year to Date:  512 killed, 2488 wounded

And, Blacks are all up in arms about those Confederate statues.  I think there might be other issues that should be of greater concern.  And after all, there has not been one recorded instance of a Confederate statue attacking a black person.

LET THE PEOPLE VOTE ON REMOVALS!!  --Old Secesh

Labor Day Weekend Murder and Mayhem in Chicago

**  Week in Progress (Sept. 6-12)

7 killed, 25 wounded (also includes part of Labor Day weekend)

**  September to Date

19 killed, 80 wounded

**  Year to Date

This Week and A Look Back at August for Chicago Mayhem

 From Hey Jackass!  Illustrating Chicago Values site.

I put these statistics in to show that those good folks over at Black Lives Matter sure aren't doing their job very well.  This should be their major goal to stop the shootings and killings of Blacks in Chicago, but they seem to be otherwise occupied.

The sad thing is that the culprits in these shootings are almost always other Blacks.

And, we have a three-day weekend coming up, so watch out!!

WEEK IN PROGRESS  (August 30 to September 5)

15 Killed, 66 Wounded

***********************************

A LOOK BACK AT SOME AUGUST STATS:

63 Killed

3 shot by CPD, 1 fatally

Averaged 16 shot a day

59 males killed, 7 female

52 Blacks, 8 Hispanics, 3 Whites killed

5 children 12 and younger shot

73 teenagers shot, 7 fatally

Austin neighborhood led all other 'Hoods with  47 shot, 8 fatal

Come On BLM, Do Your Job.  --Old Secesh

Chicago Murders and Shootings for Aug. 28 to August 31

From the Hey Jackass  site.

There was a march made by BLM downtown Saturday with no rioting and looting.  Thank you BLM, we knew you could do it.

Anyway,  businesses on the Magnificent Mile, Chicago's ultra-high shopping district, were boarded up or closed early.

However, police were at the Magnificent Mile while they could have been protecting black neighborhoods were so many shootings occur.  BLM should keep that in mind in the future.

**  Anyway, here are the numbers for this past weekend:  Noon Friday to 6 am Monday.

10 killed, 51 wounded.

**  Week in progress, 8/30 to 9/5:

5 killed, 33 wounded

**  August to date:

60 killed, 427 wounded

**  Year to date:

473 killed, 2331 wounded

Again, the vast majority of these shootings and deaths were Black on Black.

I sure wish Blacks would be more involved with Black on Black shootings than police shooting Blacks.

--Old Secesh

Chicago Crime, Murder & Mayhem Update: Another Bloody Weekend Begins and Downtown Chicago Prepares for BLM 'Peaceful Demonstrations' and Possible Rioting and Looting

From the Hey Jackass site.

Weekend tallies go from noon Friday to 6 am Monday.

Jersey barriers and decorative flower pots on Michigan Ave., plywood forests sprouting again downtown, 12-hour shifts and officer safety alerts issued, plus all the usual  nonsense has all the ingredients of a mostly peaceful weekend.

But, BLM plans "peaceful demonstrations" in downtown Chicago this weekend.  We'll see how long that lasts.  But with near overwhelming force, Chicago police should be able to keep the BLM rioters and looters at bay.

I know this does not directly pertain to Confederate monuments, but the main group attacking them is Black Lives Matter (BLM).  And, since they profess to care about black lives, I thought these numbers, which by far are mostly Black-on-Black shootings and murders, would be of interest.

The site takes the numbers from the public record.  These are not made up.

****************************************

Okay, here we go:

The "Stupidity Tally" so far this weekend (starting at noon Friday):

The first 3 1/2 hours were peaceful.

Since then:

3 Killed and 9 wounded as of 11 pm Friday.

This does not include the overnight shootings which are always higher.

*****************************************

Week in progress  (8-23 to 8-29):

11 killed, 95 wounded

August to Date:

51 killed, 383 wounded

Year to Date:

463 killed, 2287 wounded

******************************************

Like I said, if BLM is so concerned with black lives, maybe they should be marching in their own neighborhoods.

The site has a great poster of its "Bridges Up, Don't Loot" saying.  Check it out.

Whose Side Is the Media On in This BLM Thing-- Part 2

Again, the Chicago Tribune just calls this "civil unrest."

Continuing with the article:  "Mission South Chicago was one of many businesses in the neighborhood damaged in late May during weeks long civil unrest that prompted several dispensaries (what marijuana shops are called in Chicago) to close.  The bulletproof glass inside the dispensary was destroyed, some computers were taken and marijuana inventory was stole, Krane said.

"Krane declined to say how much inventory was lost, citing the company's ongoing insurance claims, but repair costs reached six figures.

"Still, the dispensary wasn't as badly damaged as surrounding stores, Krane said.

" 'There were other stores in the neighborhood that were burned.  Most of the aesthetics at the dispensary were not damaged,' he said."

And, does this sound like simple "civil unrest?"   And, nowhere in the article were there the words Black Lives Matter who were running the "demonstration" when the rioting and looting began.  They are so responsible for it and not those "outside agitators police and city officials like to refer to as the reason for the violence and looting.

For some reason, our media is trying not to connect BLM with the Riots, Burning and Looting.

What is wrong with the Chicago Tribune?

This Is Simply a Black Lives Matter Thing.  --Old Secesh

Whose Side Is the Media On? Black Lives Matter or American Citizens and Business Owners?

An article in the July 31, 2020. Chicago Tribune "South Side marijuana dispensary could reopen" by Abdel Jiminez.

"Two-month closure forced by unrest."

Okay, "unrest."  What exactly is that?  Did someone not get enough sleep?  Did a vocal confrontation take place?

Let's see.  Two months before July 31 would put you at the end of May, beginning of June.  Was there something going on in Chicago that could be considered "unrest" at that time?

Let's continue with the article and see.

"Mission South Chicago marijuana dispensary (you can now buy marijuana legally in Illinois to help raise money for the broke state) will reopen after closing for two months due to damage it suffered during civil unrest following George Floyd's death in late May."

Oh yes.  There was that "civil unrest."  Only I would have to call it rioting and looting.  Who was rioting, looting and committing arson?  And, what happened to this marijuana store?

A group by the name of Black Lives Matter was having demonstrations in Chicago which the media and mayor described as peaceful.  Then, it wasn't so peaceful.  It is kind of funny that whenever Black Lives Matter hits the streets, often we have that "civil unrest."

Don't you think that "civil unrest" is a much nicer name for "riot" or "looting?"  Why would a respected newspaper like the Tribune just call what happened "civil unrest?"

Is Black Lives Matter Another Name for Rioting, Looting and Burning Especially in Light of Them Having Nothing to Say About the Black on Black Shootings in Chicago?  --Old Secesh

Chicago Mayhem and Black Shootings for This Past Weekend

From the Hey Jackass!  Illustrating Chicago Values site.

While the Mayoral:  "I have a right to make  sure that my home is secure"...  Green Zone was safe and secure this weekend.  Other parts of Chicago were less so.

In addition to mostly Black on Black shootings, there were several BLM marches, but at least no looting or burning.  Thanks BLM.

**************

These numbers include Hispanic, whites and other groups, but by far the largest numbers are among the Blacks.

From Friday, August 21 noon to 2:30 am this morning:

5 Killed
67 Wounded

**************

Last Week's Totals (8/16 to 8/22):

10 Killed
134 Wounded

**************

August to Date:

41 Killed
321 Wounded

**************

2020 to Date:

450 Killed
2227 Wounded

**************

Again, this was mostly Blacks shooting other Blacks.  So much for Black Lives Matter.  Instead of defunding the police, perhaps more should be hired.  By the way, not one Confederate or Columbus statue was involved in any of this.

Do They Matter?   You Bet, But This Sure Doesn't Back That Up, Does It?  --Old Secesh

Chicago Mayhem So Far This Weekend, Friday August 21 to 5:50 PM Saturday, August 22: 3 Killed, 29 Wounded

And, the weekend isn't over yet and these were mostly Black on Black shootings and killings.

And, the weekend isn't over yet!!  Saturday night is always a big night for shooting and killing in Chicago.

Say it again, Black Lives Matter.

Again, go to the Hey Jackass.com site to keep up to date.

So Confused.  --Old Secesh

And, Meanwhile, Back in Chicago, It Was Another Weekend of Mayhem, Shooting and Murder Among the Blacks

From the Hey Jackass:  Illustrating Chicago Values site.

Instead of flocking to Chicago's beaches and looking up at the annual air show, it was "Bridges Up!  Don't Loot!!" for BLM.

Final stupidity tally for last weekend, Friday August 14 to Sunday, August 16 in Chicago:

Killed:  7
Wounded: 57

Again, most of them were Blacks. And most of those Blacks were shot by other Blacks.   At least, apparently, there weren't any children shot or killed.  This happens quite often.

The Statistics:

WEEK IN PROGRESS 8/16 to 8/22

Killed; 5
Wounded:  92

AUGUST TO DATE

Killed:  33
Wounded:  247

YEAR TO DATE

Killed:  442
Wounded:  2595

Again, this is mostly Black on Black crime.  So, it must be like the "N" word.  They can use it, but Whites can't.  In other words, they can kill other Blacks, but Whites and especially the police, can't.

And, we have another weekend coming up.  Wonder what the numbers will be?  Check out the "Hey Jackass" site to find out.

And, one last thing, not a single Confederate monument or statue was involved in any of this!
