Murder, Mayhem, Jihad (?!) and Cesar Chavez: Diverse America Celebrates Easter Sunday in Houston, Chicago, The Woodlands (TX), Austin and San Jose
Mugs in the news
[White/white-enough Chicago Tribune chaperone mug shots, to distract readers from a story about eight colored gang-banger shooters.]
"An officer who responded to the shooting performed CPR on the man who was shot before paramedics arrived to take him to the hospital, Daniels said."
Story from the Austin Statesman
Imagine that? They shot him before the paramedics arrived. Couldn't the shooters have at least waited until after they showed up?
By Nicholas Stix
One of the many distressing attributes of white Americans is their notorious tradition of not engaging in murder and mayhem on major Christian holidays. And so, it has become necessary both to invite tens of millions of illegal human beings, especially those from Mexico, as well as to organize alienated, colored victims of racism, to do jobs white Americans won't do, like murdering people on Easter Sunday.
In the first story below, I suppose the gang-bangers who murdered Ramiro Baez, 25, might say in their defense that they shot him at 11:30 p.m. Saturday night, and it isn't their fault that he lingered until Easter. Wrong! Everyone knows that if you're going to shoot your enemies just before a holiday begins, you have to get the job done, before the clock strikes twelve.
Reader-researcher RC, who sent me that story, remarked,
And to think this lost soul ended up at St. Anthony's Hospital.
Then, colored Chicago gangbangers, er, I mean, misunderstood victims of racism, celebrated the holiday, beginning at 1:35 a.m., by shooting eight, killing one, in just one hour, and shooting yet another man at 6 a.m.
The reader who sent in that story quipped,
"Man, those chocolate Easter bunnies are deadly."
From the fancy, planned community The Woodlands (93,000 people), north of Houston, comes the story of a hit-and-run driver who committed suicide by cop.
And in Bobo/SWPL capital Austin, a black man was shot to death on the street at 3:15 a.m., and yet none of the four raceless suspects appears to be a reader of The Economist or the New York Times! Who'd a thunk it?
The Texas Relays may have figured in this killing, but fortunately, some thread police quickly showed up (see after the story below), to shout down anyone who might make any unauthorized, truthful statements, and to provide Bizarro World talking points about all of the violent crimes committed by whites that are always covered up.
RC, who sent in the story, observed, "No rest for the feral, not even on Easter Sunday."
And on Easter at 11:15 a.m., a Haamid Ade Zaid, 33, drove around the parking lot at an East San Jose Walmart several times like a maniac, sideswiping two other drivers, but he was just warming up.
Zaid then "allegedly" drove through Walmart's glass front door—it took him two tries to get it right, in case you're thinking maybe it was a mistake—smashed into the store, and then got out of the car, an old Cutlass, and started beating shoppers and Walmart workers in the head with a blunt object ("the club"?). Zaid's would-be victims tackled him.
This was a working-class area, and the people did not scatter like frightened cockroaches.
The official story is that Zaid was on drugs. Yeah, I know just the substance: It's called the Koran.
Only two reader comments nailed it, or perhaps they were the only ones the thread Nazis permitted:

Haamid Ade Zaid - no one seems to be willing to go there, so I will. If this guy is Muslim, it's jihad. No two ways about it. Drives car into store, tries to harm people with vehicle or blunt object - and it's Easter Sunday, too. Just like FDR, I don't believe in coincidences. Things tend to happen the way they happen, because people want those things to happen. However, good luck getting more background info on this guy. If he is Muslim and is on a jihad, you will have to file a public records act request to get access to the police interviews and notes. Information that might confirm politically incorrect thoughts is too sensitive to be released to the public.

And last, but not least, it wasn't Easter at all, at least not according to the good folks at Google who own this blog: The holiday was Cesar Chavez Day!
With that in mind, the Google Propaganda Ministry came up with the image of the day: A darkened illustration of the day's multicultural saint.

<EM>Houston Chronicle</EM>
A man died after a shooting in North Houston Saturday night.
At about 11:30 p.m., Harris County deputies responded to a home in the 2200 block of Chamberlin Street where shots had been fired, but when they arrived everyone had already left the scene and no one answered at the home, according to a press release from the sheriff's office.
Deputies were later called to St. Anthony's Hospital, just a mile away on Little York Road, to speak with shooting victim Ramiro Baez, 25. According to the release, the Baez was shot outside the Chamberlin home and driven to the hospital by acquaintances.
He was transferred to Ben Taub Hospital and later died.
The shooting remains under investigation. Anyone with information that might help the investigation is asked to contact the Homicide Unit at (713) 967-5810 or Crime Stoppers at (713) 222-8477.

Shootings within an hour of each other left a 19-year-old man dead and seven men injured early this morning, authorities said.
About 1:50 a.m., the 19-year-old and a 23-year-old man were shot while walking in the 1300 block of West Hastings Street on the West Side, Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Amina Greer said.
The younger man, later identified as Akeem Manago, was struck multiple times and died shortly after the shooting at John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County, authorities said.

Manago, who lived in the 3700 block of South Wells Street, was pronounced dead at 2:36 a.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
The 23-year-old man was shot in leg and was also taken to Stroger, where authorities listed him in good condition.
Police are seeking four males who are believed to have approached the two men from behind during the shooting, which happened in the University Village/ Little Italy neighborhood.
About 2:15 a.m., a 33-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound to the left arm in the 1900 block of West Madison Street in the Near West Side neighborhood, police said. The man told police he heard gunshots and felt pain; he walked into Stroger hospital, where his condition had stabilized.
About 2:30 a.m., police also found three people shot in the West Englewood neighborhood.
Police responding to the 2000 block of West 68th Place found a 23-year-old man shot in leg, Greer said. The man was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was listed in good condition. He had apparently been shot after running to a porch with two attackers chasing him, police said.
Officers also stopped two vehicles speeding away from the scene and found two other people who had been shot.
A 20-year-old man with gunshot wounds to the face and arm was taken from one of the vehicles to Christ, where his condition was stabilized.
Another man, also 20, was found in the second vehicle with a graze wound to the head, but he refused medical attention. The man told police he had flagged down friends after being shot in the 1900 block of West 63rd Street, and police are continuing to investigate how he was shot, Greer said.
Also this morning, two men were shot less than a block apart in the West Town neighborhood. A 28-year-old man was shot about 1:40 a.m. after answering a knock at his door in the 2000 block of West Randolph Avenue, Greer said.
About 2:15 a.m., a 35-year-old man was shot in the 2000 block of West Maypole Street, which runs parallel to Randolph one block to the south. The man had apparently been shot by an acquaintance while talking about the Randolph shooting, police said.
Both men were shot in the leg, and they were listed in good condition at Stroger and Mount Sinai Hospital.
While watching over the crime scene on Randolph, police also heard two bursts of gunfire from the southwest and several left to investigate. No people were reported shot in that incident.
Detectives are investigating the shootings and do not yet have anyone in custody.
Later Sunday morning, a 40-year-old man was shot in the arm about 6 a.m. in the 4200 block of North Elston Avenue in the Irving Park neighborhood on the Northwest Side, police said. He was taken to Swedish Covenant Hospital in good condition.

THE WOODLANDS – A Montgomery County deputy shot and killed a hit-and-run suspect who led officers on a chase that ended in The Woodlands early Sunday.
A deputy tried to stop the driver of the black Kia just after 3 a.m. to question him about a minor accident on SH 242 near I-45.
Gregory Allen Bridges, 44, refused to pull over and continued east on Research, according to the MCSO.
Other units set up spike strips at the Six Pines intersection and flattened the Kia's right tires, but that didn't stop Bridges. He turned south onto the I-45 feeder road with several patrol cars tailing him. When Bridges turned right on Sawdust, his right tire fell off the rim. He turned into a CVS parking lot, then into the Woodforest Bank lot where he was trapped.
After Bridges circled the lot a few times, a deputy approached his vehicle. The suspect tried to run over the deputy, according to Lt. Dan Morris with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office. The deputy fired at least three shots into the vehicle, striking Bridges in the chest.
He was taken by ambulance to Memorial Hermann Hospital in The Woodlands where he was pronounced dead.

Austin Police officers investigate the scene of an early morning shooting Sunday in downtown on Trinity Street, between 10th and 11th streets, this in photo posted on the department's Twitter page at 4:03 a.m.Credit: Austin Police Department
American-Statesman Staff
10:15 p.m. update: Friends of a man who died in an early morning shooting on Sunday held a candle light vigil near the scene of the incident.
On Sunday night, about a dozen people gathered on a sidewalk on Trinity Street between 10th and 11 streets near the Public Employees Credit Union. Flowers were left among a small sea of candles surrounding a light post.
One mourner said the victim was a "good person."
Police have not released the victim's name or any additional information on the suspects.
2 p.m. update: The early morning shooting followed an "altercation between two groups of people," said Police Sgt. David Daniels, a spokesman for the department.
An officer who responded to the shooting performed CPR on the man who was shot before paramedics arrived to take him to the hospital, Daniels said.
Police did not have a detailed description of the suspects but Daniels did add that there were three women and and [sic] one man in the car that fled from the scene.
[If someone saw that much clearly, he also said what race they appeared to be.]
Earlier: One man died in a shooting in downtown Austin early Easter Sunday, police said.
The suspects fled going west on 10th Street in a dark colored, four-door sedan from the scene of the shooting on Trinity Street between 10th and 11th streets, officials said. Police said they received a 911 call about the shooting at 3:15 a.m.
The man who was shot was taken to University Medical Center Brackenridge, where he was pronounced dead, officials said. Police described him only as a black man in his 20s; his identity has not been released.

Oh please....the Texas Relays aren't going anywhere. Why are you assuming that this crime is necessarily connected to the Relays? Because Austin was a lily-white, zero-crime city before these athletes arrived, and since the victim was black,....?

Once again we see the whole "head in the sand" mentality. Statistics don't lie...just look at the calls downtown on the crime tracker website for Saturday night. Stabbings, shootings, robbery, murder. Oh no no it has nothing to do with Texas Relays. I don't seem to remember any murders, shootings etc. being reported during F1, SXSW, ACL all of which had larger crowds.

Well, it was the Texas Relays weekend. I imagine the visitors were all upset because half the bars wisely closed for the weekend on 6th. Additionally, there was no where for all the ghetto thugs to showoff their hoopties and guzzle cold 40 ouncers as they used to do in the Highland Mall parking lot. I sure wish the Austin Statesman would host these fine people in a big party at the Statesman building for the entire weekend. Yellowpress has it 100% right.

Just because you didn't hear about shootings, stabbings, or any other crimes doing SXSW, ACL, F1, trust me when I tell you it doesn't mean they didn't happen. It happens with all races & types. Like what crowd or crowds was that rushed fences at 2 different venues during sxsw last year/ year before. Oh ok. Stabbings, shootings, robberies, etc happen EVERY DAY in Austin. Not everything is going to make the headlines.

That's a nasty (in a good way) looking cruiser in the foreground. Maybe something the Blues Brothers would drive. I wonder if Chief Acevedo would take my vintage Datsun pickup in trade? It can be nimble if the circumstances call for it.
As for the Texas Relays, can you believe the Horns won three men's relay races? No sport matches track and field, some of our oldest sports thanks to the early Athenians. Good job, Austin and UT-Austin, for putting on another successful chapter in the world' greatest track meet.
The commenters hating on black people and our track meet should spend their Texas Relays weekends in Haskell, hoping to get a glimpse of racist favorite son RickyBobby and his infamous hunting camp, where the frightened, pasty-white, bigoted commenters should feel right at home.

Sorry to inform you but at SXSW, there was a body found in a ditch and there are robberies and stabbings going on their as well. Also the mentality that is displayed on here is very poor. Some of you need a life or an education.... Austin has crime every single day!

Honey the body found in a ditch was by Barton springs. The person had cut their wrists in an attempted suicide combined with the fact that they had a toxic amount of drugs in their system. Person did not have a pass to sxsw and was not related in any way to sxsw. Don't let that get in the way of your story telling though.

- San Jose: Driver attacks Walmart shoppers after crashing into store, police say
SAN JOSE -- In a story that is racking up national headlines, police say a drug-addled Seaside native crashed his car into an East San Jose Walmart and bludgeoned customers and an employee with a blunt object before he was tackled by onlookers Sunday morning.
Haamid Ade Zaid, 33, was booked into Santa Clara County jail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, hit and run, being under the influence of drugs and resisting arrest, according to the San Jose Police Department. He was identified as a Seaside resident by police, but a relative said he now lives in San Jose.
Zaid is being held without bail in connection with the chaotic attack that rattled an Easter Sunday shopping crowd and ended with four people injured, one seriously. A Walmart employee was among the victims.
Officer Albert Morales said SJPD had no previous contact with Zaid until Sunday. Santa Clara County has a handful of court cases involving Zaid, but the records were not available Monday because the Superior Court observed the Césár Chávez holiday. A records search in Monterey County -- where Seaside is located -- did not reveal any history of violence.
Zaid's mother, Rosemary, told NBC Bay Area that she had no explanation for the actions of her son, a Seaside High School graduate she said runs an auto-restoration shop in San Jose.
"This isn't him, this isn't him, this is not what he's like," Rosemary Zaid told the station. "He's a good man, a business man. He's never done drugs."
[N.S.: What about the Koran? Has he ever done that?]
The melee began about 11:15 a.m. Sunday when a red two-door Cutlass Salon was seen speeding through the parking lot of the Walmart Supercenter at 777 Story Road, hitting two cars before crashing through the pharmacy and market entrance, police said. A witness said the driver's initial attempt was too sharp and got the car caught in cement pylons, so he backed up and tried again, making it into the store before crashing into a beer display.
Once the car stopped, police and witnesses say, the driver got out, picked up a blunt object some described as a metal bar and started attacking people with it. A stockroom employee was hit in the head, according to his daughter, 31-year-old Betsy Rodriguez of San Jose.
Rodriguez said the 61-year-old lifelong San Jose resident had just clocked out for lunch when the Cutlass came barreling through the store. He approached the driver, according to Rodriguez, whose account was corroborated by police.
"He heard people screaming and approached the man. He told the guy 'You don't have to do this,' and the man hit him on the head," Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez said her father, a five-year employee who asked not to be named out of privacy concerns, is conscious and recovering at a local hospital.
Raymond Raborar was at the store, waiting for his mother to finish Easter Mass at a nearby church and standing near the pharmacy when he heard the crash.
"I was just there to kill time when I heard something really loud," said Raborar, a San Jose-based in-home caregiver. "I see people running and then thought maybe I should run too."
Raborar briefly left the store but returned and started shooting video, which shows the car inside the store, a victim lying on the floor and customers restraining Zaid.
"My heart was beating really fast," he said. "I'm thinking maybe the driver's on drugs, or it could be a terrorist attack."
The melee stopped when onlookers tackled the driver and held him down until police arrived. Zaid was reportedly kicking and screaming as officers took him into custody. Morales said the suspect was "exhibiting objective symptoms of being the under the influence" of drugs.
Rodriguez praised the heroism of the bystanders who jumped into action.
"I want to thank everyone who helped get this attacker," she said.
The bizarre nature of the attack has drawn attention from national media, including "Good Morning America," CNN and news shows in Los Angeles and New York City. It even inspired a fake poll question on the popular online satire website The Onion.
Morales said he couldn't recall anything similar happening in the city.
"In my 18-year career, I have never seen anything like this," Morales said. "After looking at some of the pictures, it's amazing he didn't hit anybody with the vehicle."
Rodriguez's father was hospitalized, and three other victims were treated and released by paramedics at the scene. Zaid was also treated at a hospital before he was jailed.
Following the attack, the store was evacuated, closed and cordoned off by police. More than 70 people gave witness statements to police.
