Keep Calm And Drive On: Beating Of Driver Leads To Some Ludicrous Official Statements

So in the wake of the attack by 10-12 black guys on an innocent white driver that caused him to still be in critical condition in hospital, what does the Mayor of Detroit do?

He ludicrously appeals for calm.

The Detroit Free Press: Detroit mayor tweets for #calm #compassion in wake of attack on pickup driver

“We are asking all metro Detroiters to demonstrate our true character by exercising calm and patience during this emotionally charged time,” according to the statement.

Ok then. There must be a script in Detroit headquarters that says anything that has a racial component then go to -

Step 1: Appeal for calm.

That's cause Detroit's few remaining white folk might be inclined to riot doncha know? Well, probably not. But, you have to be even handed so you can appeal for calm when the reverse happens, right?

Step 2 in the checklist when its 10-12 black guys attacking a white guy is to quickly announce it was not a hate crime or a racially biased assault:

From social media to the east side neighborhood where the attack occurred, some questioned whether race was involved.

A police spokesman, however, said the initial investigation didn’t yield a race-related reason for the attack.

“No one has given us a statement that was indicative that this was a racially motivated crime or anything to that extent,” said the spokesman, Sgt. Michael Woody.

Well ok then, glad that's cleared up so easily.

Also, there's still no reports that Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson are planning to visit to decry this race-motivated violence, nor any reports of Eric Holder opening a federal hate crime investigation.

Funny, that.

And the local witness spoke for the whole neighborhood when she told the police: "He got his." It was all justified, in their eyes, just because he was white.

ML: Yep, saw that. Certainly a prime example of the decline in the culture of Detroit.

Old NFO: I think the last American already left, and just the scum remain.
