I am SO tired of reading the local news every day and seeing 95% of my local crime being commited by blacks. This boy was riding home on his bike minding his own business and a group of black teens attacked him. This happened right down the street not too far from me. The blacks around here are increasing their gang-like activity because of Comrade Zero and we have been seeing much more black youths grouping up and acting tough. They are going to be in for a big surprise when one of the biggest white supremacist gangs in the entire country here in Baltimore comes down on them like a ton of bricks.
I am just so outraged by this and it makes think that if blacks don't start holding themselves accountable for their criminals and going vigilante on themselves there will be no hope what-so-ever for their race as a whole.

TOP: More than 500 people gathered last night in Crofton to honor 14-year-old Christopher Jones, who died on Nantucket Drive Saturday after he was attacked by two boy while riding his bike.
LEFT: Javel Marqueth George, 16, was charged as an adult with manslaughter, assault and reckless endangerment.
RIGHT: Christopher David Jones, 14, victim in Saturday's attack in Crofton.
Residents walked somberly to the memorial service in droves, gathering around a makeshift memorial placed at the scene of the tragic incident on Nantucket Drive.
Family members crowded in a tight group around the tree on which a green construction-paper sign had been placed, reading: "Christopher David Jones. You will be missed by all and never forgotten. Always in our hearts, always loved. October 1994 - May 2009."
Teens and their families gathered around and lit candles. Many wore homemade T-shirts with messages in remembrance of Christopher, a freshman at South River High School.
Sniffles could be heard throughout the crowd, and tissues were passed freely.
"I go to bed every night now, I sleep with his pillow, just so I can smell him," said his mother, Jennifer Adkins. "I feel like my whole entire existence ... if it wasn't for my daughter, I wouldn't even want to be here. He was the light of my life."
At the end of the memorial service, Adkins recounted how she tried on Saturday to warn her son about the group of teens who soon after would beat him, causing him to fall from his bicycle, strike his head and die on the street.
She said she thought perhaps the group of boys she saw were the same ones that prompted her to transfer Christopher out of Arundel High School to South River after a trip to a shopping mall with a group of elementary school friends turned into a clash between two groups of teens.
"We pulled him out of Arundel High School five weeks ago because we didn't want him involved in the gang activity in that school," Adkins said. "We put him in South River to prevent this from happening - and it followed him into the streets."
She said she walked past a group of a half-dozen teens at the community pool down the street from her home and sent a text message to warn Christopher on Saturday. He responded "I'm fine," Adkins told the The Washington Post, choking back tears yesterday as she scrolled through her son's last messages on her cell phone.
Christopher died just down the road from a new elementary school in his quiet neighborhood.
Police were originally called to the neighborhood for a report of a boy who'd been hit by a car. When they arrived, they found the boy had been attacked by other teens while riding his bike.
Christopher was taken to Baltimore Washington Medical Center by ambulance, where he was pronounced dead. An autopsy revealed he died of head and neck injuries.
No bond
Javel Marqueth George, 16, was charged as an adult and a 14-year-old boy was charged as a juvenile with manslaughter, assault and reckless endangerment.
Police said both suspects were questioned by detectives and admitted to punching Christopher, who fell off his bike and struck his head on the ground as he tried to flee.
George is being held at the Jennifer Road Detention Center without bond. The 14-year-old boy is at the Cheltenham Juvenile Detention Center. Both will remain in custody until their trial.
In the bail review hearing yesterday in District Court in Annapolis, George's father testified that his son was a good student dealing with a bad situation.
"He never got in any trouble before," the man said, declining to give his name to reporters after the hearing.
His son was not present in the courtroom but appeared on closed-circuit television from the county jail.
On a bench in the court, a woman cried openly during George's hearing. Another woman and small girl looked on.
George lived in the area for four years and on Montauk Drive for the past six months with his mother, court officials said. He had no prior criminal history.
Assistant State's Attorney Michelle Smith asked Judge Thomas L. Pryal to hold George without any bond.
"I think there's just too many unknowns," she said.
Pryal agreed.
"I think the charges are just too severe, the nature of the offense too egregious ..." he said.
Bob Mosier, a county schools spokesman, said yesterday grief counselors were available at both Arundel and South River high schools.
"We'll keep those folks in place as long as they're necessary," he said.
Earlier dispute
Christopher had been a student at Arundel High until early May, when he transferred to South River, Mosier said. He said George is a freshman at Arundel.
Capt. David Waltemeyer, commander of the county Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division, said the assault stemmed from an earlier dispute.
"Basically, the two suspects have had a beef with the victim and some of the victim's friends the last couple of weeks or 30 days," he said.
The suspects happened to see Christopher while they were walking in the area, Waltemeyer said. They exchanged words and then the teens assaulted Christopher and ran away.
Police said they are still trying to piece together what the dispute was about.
Rumors have spread through the neighborhood that the incident was gang-related. Waltemeyer said there are two loosely organized groups in the area.
But they are not organized gangs with leadership structures. They're more like "neighborhood crews" of kids that live in the same area or go to the same school, he said.
The groups, The New Threat and East Side Diamonds, have less than 12 teenage members in each and aren't like known gangs such as the Bloods or the Crips, Waltemeyer said.
"At this point in the criminal investigation, we can't say who or if the suspects or victim are members of these crews or not," he said.
The crews are not associated with major crimes, Waltemeyer said.
Waltemeyer said though the victim was white and the suspects are black, there is no indication that the incident was racially motivated.
"It doesn't have anything to do with race," he said.
Police will continue to interview witnesses, but they said they believe they have arrested those responsible for the assault and don't believe more arrests are forthcoming, Waltemeyer said.
County Executive John R. Leopold, who attended the event last night to convey his sympathy to the family, said he plans to hold a meeting to discuss the incident at the Walden Gold Club at 7 p.m. tomorrow.
"Senseless acts of violence cannot be tolerated anywhere in the county," he said.
Christopher's mother said this type of violence, regardless of the motive, needs to come to an end.
"We need to all move forward, rejoice in his life, and turn this into something positive," she said. "Stop the violence, and just pray for our family."
I am just so outraged by this and it makes think that if blacks don't start holding themselves accountable for their criminals and going vigilante on themselves there will be no hope what-so-ever for their race as a whole.
