And even when they DO show you a glimpse of it, you don't see the WHOLE picture, the whole horror of it - just journalists talking.

However when you see it ON SOCIAL MEDIA, the way I saw it, the question is immediately arising - what has been done about it?
Who has been punished and how?

Because it was obvious to me, that if things will proceed in the same manner and they are not properly and publicly addressed, next time someone will end up dead.

Which exactly what happened to Jonathan Lewis.

So it's not something that came out of nowhere.

There were "close calls" already before him.

I see a terrible pattern here;

What I found very misleading were some local news reports which referred to what happened at the Sonestown Galleria as a "teen brawl." A teen brawl implies a teen fight but that's not what happened.

What happened was a group of teens targeted shoppers and stomped them. Why?

Because it's fun.

It's not "misleading," as practice showed us - it's downright criminal, because if this would have been identified for what it is - A MOB ATTACK, the Lewis tragedy could have been prevented.

There was a girl beat up by a group of 6-8 guys the other night in a town close to where we use to live. I only found out about it because of FB. Nothing in the papers, nothing even on the Police FB page - she was hospitalized and I'm waiting for an update.

I have no worries in the area where I live, but those of you who live in the "mixed" areas - I'd be worried at this point, yes.

There's too much news today so they don't report on local things as much even on local news media. My 13 great-nephew's girlfriend was hit by a car and killed and it was only reported on one local news channel, a 1 minute blurb.

I’ve said it once I’ll say it 100 times. These blue cities have no idea what’s coming and moving to the country isn’t going to be a great option.

I was in Coure De’alene ID last summer. Stopped into a nice shop in town and was chatting with the owner about how we would love to move there. She, and the 4-5 other people in the store, immediately told me if I was from California to get the hell out of the store and don’t bring my “political bull****” to Idaho. Once I told her I wasn’t from California but Alaska and she didn’t need to worry it was fine.

Soooo, if liberals think they are going to move to the country and take their self destructive politics with them it’s not going to be pretty.

Blue cities will be broke and under siege soon. Way to many illegals, not enough money and way way way to much racial, social, religious and economic division.

The great social experiment failed. Cultures do NOT mix.

This crap was going on before Barack Obama even got elected. Social media has exposed what has been taking place for decades.

Facebook was also how the beating of a special needs kid was discovered. The thugs that did it live-streamed it on Facebook.

As sad as this is, this kind of violence is only being found out because of social media. Imagine how much mob violence was going on BEFORE social media.
