#1 Racist Black separatists. This incident, along with the rest of the radical left-wing terrorism in the 70s, has been completely buried by the media and forgotten.

Good rundown of the memory holed era here.

Ref #1: Possibly as a political diversion from events in SE Asia or simply a vote getting tool, our 36th President, Lyndon Baines Johnson helped set the stage for the age of entitlement and vote getting, with his “Great Society” give-away programs.

Civil Anarchy mediated? Yes. Civil Anarchy "buried and forgotten?" Certainly not.

The machinery of entitlement, Woke, 'free this-free that' payoffs, social justice 'victimless crimes' and political pandering lumber on. Concurrently, unchecked urban crime, legalized hallucinogenic drugs, death by overdose, and the urban genocide of 'Row v Wade' act as population relief valves.

'The Days of Rage' will likely not soon return. The free food, beads and blankets, and sweltering urban reservations appear to be working.

Did I mention the most recent 'Woke' narrative? Perhaps I digress.

#4 The controversy surrounding President Barack Obama’s admonishment that “if you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen” has defied the usual election-year pattern.

Bloomberg has signed-on with this saying in an ad that makes a pitch for doing things by committee to achieve something.

Well sometimes it takes a brave man or woman to just do something and they don't need a committee or group to run it through.

#5 Besoeker, you know we're going to run out of money.

Days of Rage is certainly worth reading.
