Steve Sailer shares a video edited together from security camera footage from a bus in North Philadelphia:
The back story before the video starts is that the mother shown getting off the bus had spanked her child, which led to a verbal protest from the fellow with a shaved head and a beard in a reddish brown t-shirt. The mother then got on her cell phone and called for some backup to meet her at the bus stop to help her, as Dave Chapelle would say, in keeping it real.
Apparently, nobody was badly injured, although the chivalrous six fired a total of 13 shots in the general direction of the man in the reddish brown shirt.
The psychology is interesting. Evidently, the insulted mother called the brother of the father of her baby, who then recruited a bunch of relatives and friends to help him defend the honor of his brother’s baby mama’s childrearing techniques. [...] Those are some family values.
The other angle is the advance of technology versus crime. This bus was recently upgraded with an amazing number of security cameras. So, it’s probably not a good idea anymore to stage a semi-automatic rifle assault on a bus in broad daylight in North Philadelphia. On the other hand, maybe the lesson is that you should put on hoodies and bandanas before attempting to hit the broad side of a bus with an assault rifle. Not all technological advances require criminals to undertake high-tech countermeasures.
Gangsta-style assault tactics aren’t very effective at putting bullets in targets.
Those guys in Monrovia weren’t trying very hard to hit anybody. They were a) shaking their spears, and b) demonstrating courage by running around under fire. It’s not total war. It’s at least 50% psychological. I think the incident in North Philly was much the same. They have to use real guns and live ammo because if they weren’t, they wou’tin be keepin’ it rea’, yo.
