Those Horrible Murders in Buffalo

Again, we have another idiot calling himself a white supremacist who went off track and murdered innocent Blacks in Buffalo, New York, last Saturday.  Another Charleston, South Carolina.  Murder and killing is never the answer.

Too bad he did not do the right thing and remove himself.

He will surely be found guilty and let's hope New York has capital punishment.  He doesn't deserve to live after what he did,  And, I don't care why he did it or if he is insane,  he deserves the death penalty and not one that takes twenty years either.

I see that the idiot in Charleston is still alive also.  Too bad.

The Second Civil War: Virginia, Jacksonville, U.S. Parks and Randolph County

NOVEMBER 19, 2021

**  Waynesboro leaders looking to remove Confederate monument from downtown park.  (Virginia)

**  Jacksonville to decide  fate of Confederate monuments in 2022.  (Florida.  Again, I don't understand why Blacks are so upset about the statues when their own people are shooting and killing each other.  Seems like that would be a bigger issue.)

**  Confederate statue relocation moves forward.  (Farmville, Virginia)

**  Racist or offensive names  persist in U.S. parks; new plan confronts them.  (The Wilderness Society)

**  Huntsville schools ask state about renaming Lee High School.  (Alabama)

 **  'Listening session' on potential Fort Polk name change scheduled.  (Louisiana)

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

NOVEMBER 6, 2021

**  Protesters slam  City Council over upcoming Confederate monument vote,  (Jacksonville, Florida.  They are upset, but so far in 2021, there have been 95 murders in Jacksonville.  How many of those murders were Black on Black?  Maybe this should be a bigger issue than a Confederate monument.)

**  Man sets truck truck with Confederate flag on fire in Centreville.  (Maryland.  Perhaps overreacting?)

**  Moving Confederate statues isn't like destroying ancient Palmyra.

Civil War II: Stone Mountain, New Jersey, Georgia, Alabama and Texas

OCTOBER 26, 2021

**  Only one bidder on Confederate-themed park.  (Stone Mountain, Georgia.  Bidding on the management of it.)

**  NJ home's Confederate Halloween display draws outrage.  (Jackson, New Jersey.  It has two Confederate flags and a ghost that looks liked robed KKK.  A bit too much, but if BLM flags and signs are allowed, let this idiot do his thing.  They're both equally offensive.)

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

OCTOBER 27, 2021

**  Confederate statue hiding in plain sight near trial of there white men accused of killing Ahmaud Arbery.  (Brunswick, Georgia.  Kind of hard to hide a statue.)

**  Montgomery, Ala. drops Confederate street name to honor famed civil rights attorney.  (Jefferson Davis Avenue renamed Fred Gray Avenue.  Again, let's not rename every Confederate street after a black person.  Name some other street.)

**  Keep or destroy:  Bastrop officials to decide Confederate statue's fate.  (Texas)

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

No Confederate Alerts Since August 19!!!!! Has the Nightmare Finally Ended?

I have not had a single Alert for the word Confederate since AUGUST 19!!!!!   Does this mean that the constant attacks on any and all things Confederate has ended.  We can only hope.

As I said, when the attacks cease, so will this blog.  I so look forward to that day.

It can not come too soon.

Maybe certain people realize that they have bigger problems than Confederates.  Let's face it, school attendance for their children is the lowest of all groups.  And they had to fight so hard to get better education.

And then, there is the crime problem.  Way too many of them commit crimes.  And, I am not even going to the problem with them shooting and killing each other.

Even if they stop, I want the removal of all Confederate items from public areas to continue as well as the renaming of any school whose student population is mostly minority.  Also the renaming of the Army bases.

They have made their point.  Now work on more pressing points.

Come On Guys.  --Old Secesh

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.

Black On Black Murders and Shootings in Chicago-- Part 2: A Very Bloody 4th of July Weekend

Last month, July, 578 people were shot in the city -- at least 58 of them juveniles, including a 9-year-old black boy killed by gunfire Friday (July 31) night as he played outside on the Near North Side of the city.  July's youngest shooting victim was a 3-year-old black girl who was struck while riding in her family's car in South Shore.

A day before that, the city saw the largest mass shooting in recent memory when 15 black people were shot outside a funeral home in Gresham on the South Side.

The month opened with a bloody Fourth of July weekend that saw 79 people shot across the city, 5 of them fatally.

Eleven of those victims were minors, and two of them -- 13-year-old Amaria Jones and 7-year-old Natalia Wallace -- were killed.

Again, most of the killed and wounded have been Blacks.  And they were shot or killed by other Blacks.

Meanwhile, BLM and their white minions were having their own violent riot with police at the Christopher Columbus statue, which they demand to be taken down.  Some eighteen police were injured by them.  (By the way, the statue was taken down.)

All the while, their fellow Blacks were shooting and killing each other.  Exactly how important are Black lives to an organization named Black Lives Matter?

Chicago's July Murders Jump 139% Over July 2019-- Part 1: And It Was Mostly All Black On Black, More Dangerous Than Afghanistan

From the August 2, 2020, Chicago Sun-Times.

Murders in Chicago more than doubled over what they were for July of 2019.  Shootings also increased.

And, of course, most of this was Black on Black murders and shootings.  These folks who get out there and BLM it most be confused or they wouldn't be doing this to each other.There were 105 murders reported last month, a 139% increase over the 44 in July 2019.  The 406 shooting incidents last month was a 75% increase from the 232 reported for July 2019.

Last month, no U.S. soldiers were casualties in Afghanistan.  Nor were there any casualties in June, May and April.  So far this year, U.S. deaths were 4 in January, 3 in February and 2 in March.  Total U.S. deaths in Afghanistan so far this year have been 9.

The 106 homicides in Chicago in July brought the total number of deaths for the year to 430.

You might be able to deduce that Chicago is a lot more dangerous than Afghanistan.

And, again, the vast majority of these were Blacks being killed or shot by other Blacks.  Not a single one was killed by any Confederate flags or statues.

Where's the Anger?-- Part 2

Some more Chicago headlines.

**   July 31--  9-year-old boy dies after being shot in Chicago's Near North side.  (Site of the former Cabrini-Green housing complex.)

One 8-year-old shot Thursday (July 30.   In 2020 so far, 14 under the age of 18 have died.  Four of them were 10 or younger.)

**  July 31--  13 shot Thursday in Chicago, including a teenager and 8-year-old boy and a 10-month-old girl critically wounded in shooting on Chicago freeway.

This refers to Blacks.

And, we just finished another weekend, when the heaviest assaults begin.  Wonder how many black children were wounded or killed?  How many Blackswere wounded or killed?  And the real sad thing about this is that the police aren't doing this (nor or any Confederate statues).  These people are being shot by other Blacks.

There was a very good column in the August 2, 2020, Chicago Sun-Times "When will black lives matter to us all?" by John W. Fountain.  He makes some good points.

Where's the Anger?-- Part 1

Headlines from newspapers in Chicago.

February 17:  11 children among 26 people shot during single weekend of gun violence in Chicago.  (And this was during the winter.  It gets mighty cold in Chicago to be out and about.))

June 21:  Over 50 people shot, 8 killed in violent Chicago weekend.

June 28:  Black Lives Matter:  18 killed in Chicago over the weekend.

June 29:  5 black children murdered this month that Black Lives Matter will never mention.

June 29:  3  children shot dead, another 2 wounded in the crossfire over just one week in Chicago.

July 1:  7 children killed in shootings in last two weeks.

July 9:  When black children are killed, where's the outrage from the White and Woke?  (The White and Woke are those white people you see marching alongside the BLMers.  I call them white minions.)

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

When race is not mentioned in these headlines, most of them were Blacks.

Wonder how many Blacks will be shot, wounded and killed by other Blacks this weekend.  How many black children will be wounded or killed.  One 9-year-old was killed on Friday.

You'd have to think Blacks would be more upset about these numbers than Confederate statues.

Some Staggering and Disturbing Numbers Out of Chicago in This Day and Age of BLM

These figures came from the web site"Hey Jackass!  Illustrating Chicago Values."  Really worth a visit to get the numbers.

As most know, Chicago has a serious problem with Blacks shooting, wounding and killing other Blacks and has had for quite some time.

While all these demonstrators are in the streets saying that Black Lives Matter, it is too bad they can't get their own people to stop shooting and killing each other.

These figures for the Week in Progress (6-21 to 6-27). June to Date and Year to Date.  I gathered the information from the site on June 24.

S= shot, K=killed, W-wounded

WEEK IN PROGRESS:

S&K--  12
S&W--  94

JUNE TO DATE

S&K--  61
S&W--  454

YEAR TO DATE

S&K--  283
S&W--  1337

Not all are Blacks, though.

HERE ARE THE DAY-TODAY FIGURES FOR THIS PAST WEEKEND:

June 19, Friday:  2 S&K, 17 S&W
June 20, Saturday:  6 S&K, 29 S&W
June 21, Sunday:  3 S&K, 24 S&W

RACE OF VICTIM AND ASSAILANT for MURDERS in 2020

Black   241 victims, 22 assailants
Hispanic:  49 victims, 6 assailants
White:  14 Victims, 2 assailants
Unknown:  6 victims, 272 assailants

The 272 unknown assailants in the last line were mostly Black.  Blacks usually don't inform police on other Blacks shooting people.

There was even a three-year-old black child killed last weekend.

And since May 25, there have been two black men killed by the police.  In Chicago, in June this year, probably fifty Blacks killed by Blacks.

Let's See. These People Want the Confederate Monuments Taken Down?-- Part 1

The murder of George Floyd was tragic, but so are these.

From the June 2, 2020, ABC News.

**  Four police officers shot in St. Louis protests.  (Please, let's stop calling these protests.  They are clearly riots.  But at least we know the riots weren't because of the Confederate monument in Forrest Park which has already been taken down and the reason for my boycott on St. Louis.)

**  New York City imposed a curfew to prevent another night of destruction that included the breakin and looting of the iconic Macy's store.  People rushed into the Nike store carrying out armloads of good.  Wreckage littered the inside of an AT&T store.

**  Cicero, Illinois--  Two people were killed during protests.  Sixty were arrested.  Looters broke into a liquor store and other businesses.

And this wasn't even Chicago where looters attacked the downtown with much destruction over the weekend.  And, in the meantime shootings in Chicago, mostly Black on Black for May 31-June 6:  Shot and Killed:  27, Shot and Wounded:  117.

**  Buffalo, New York-- A vehicle plowed into a group of  law enforcement officers injuring at least two.

Follow up on this:  Three police officers were injured and the driver and occupants of the car have been caught.  They were not white people.

SPLC Shows Its Racist Tendencies-- Part 2: About Confederate Removal

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), rightfully dates these Confederate-hatred campaign from the horrible attacks on the black congregation at the church in Charleston, S.C., as the June 17, 2015.  That white racist murderer (I won't use his name as I don't use names of any mass murderers) was pictured once holding a Confederate flag.  This caused an uproar that has only recently slowed down because of the virus.

At first, the main objective were Confederate flags, but has since morphed to statues and monuments.  However, I date the big attack to the events leading up to the commemoration of the sesquicentennial of the Civil War back to 2010.

According to the SPLC, since then, 138 Confederate symbols, including 58 monuments have been removed from public places across the country.  In addition, they have a master list of nearly 1,800 Confederate symbols across the country.

In 2019, eight Confederate symbols in the U.S., including four monuments, were removed from public spaces.    And five more are in the process of removal.  In addition, five memorials to Confederates were renamed last year.

The SPLC Is Sure Doing Some Gloating.  But, They Need to Know the Hurt It Causes Me When They Do That.  --Old Secesh

As We Enter the Fifth Year of the Renewed Attack on All Things Confederate

We can definitely put the date of the beginning of this effort in earnest at June 17, 2015, it had been going on with increasing incidence ever since the Civil War Sesquicentennial, where it began picking up impetus.

That date, a white supremacist, racist, whose name won't be mentioned by me, entered that church and killed those blacks who welcomed him into study the Bible.  He has done the most to hurt the Confederacy than anyone ever did, other than John Wilkes Booth.  Why he is still alive is beyond me.

The second worst thing was the confrontation in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017.  This is where we also first majorly encountered the radical left.  When I saw video of what happened, I have to say that there were plenty of really bad people on both sides.  The sorry excuse who crashed his car into the anti-protesters is also, for some reason, is still alive.

I started this blog because newspapers usually don't report everything that continues to happen, which might give some the idea that this is over.  Believe me, it isn't.  And, personally, I don't believe it will be over until the last Confederate statue and memorial is pulled down or removed.

What I report are headlines from various newspapers and media sources and with some I make comment.

I am calling this the Second Civil War or Civil War II.
