i would implore all, before loosely throwing "animal/savages/ashamed to have african bloodlines" around, to use higher thinking and try to work out WHY or what the primer is that kicked off these riots.
there's always a primer.
can we use critical thinking, like is done with more fringe topics here on ATS and find what is causing this?
or even IF it is even going on.

to say there is always a "primer" is to sometimes over intellectualise matters- sometimes people with no moral compass decide it is a good idea to attack others who are of a different race, tribe etc

It won't just be attacks on someone of a different race or culture. These goons will go right for the jugular of the wealthy and the "fat cats" that our own president has worked to demonize. In many ways he has fostered the behavior that we are seeing now by ridiculing his opposition at every opportunity. By demonizing the wealthy with one hand all the while he is accepting their "donations" with the other.
I have yet to see the leader of this nation rise above the fray to improve the discourse. He would rather feed it and throw himself right in the middle of it.

Seems human nature to me.
Countless idiotic things humans do.

And here's the re-write of the events.
Allegations of racist threats and mob-style intimidation in a West Bluff neighborhood Friday captured national attention over the weekend, but some say the claims were exaggerated.
Story
A group of 50 or so young people was walking down Thrush Avenue toward Sheridan Road about 10:50 p.m. Friday, concerning some residents..........
Khalid Davis, who lives on Thrush, said the group blocked a few cars but was very orderly.
In the meantime, police have increased patrols in the area, and Ardis, who is out of town, expects more reports on the incident to be available when he returns Wednesday.
Kenny Rogers, who has lived on Sheridan for 10 years, called police Friday after he saw the group "hollering" and stopping traffic on the street. He did not hear anyone yell that they wanted to kill white people.
Rogers says the crowd was running wildly around yards and porches. It was the largest Rogers, 38, had ever seen in the neighborhood.
"They were doing a show of force," he said, "to show everybody, 'Hey, this is their hood.'"

PEORIA —
Lawmakers, local law enforcement and Peoria's mayor on Tuesday made a public push for legislation to remedy an embarrassing statistic:
Illinois has the highest ratio of criminal gang members per capita. So says the 2009 National Gang Threat Assessment compiled by the National Gang Intelligence Center and the National Drug Intelligence Center.
"In order to solve a problem, you have to recognize where you're weak," U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Peoria, said during a news conference at the Peoria County Sheriff's Department.....

I agree entirely, it's going to be a long, hot, bloody summer. I predict riots in every major city ... we already had riots here on Long Island, in New York City, and in upstate Rochester over Memorial Day Weekend.
Look at this past Memorial Day Weekend with the riots all over ... that's what the entire summer is going to be like. But hey, I am ready for them. Anyone know if civilians can legally posses tear gas grenades in NY? Probably not but it's worth asking.
