From NBC 4 in Milwaukee:

WEST ALLIS – Witnesses tell Newsradio 620 WTMJ and TODAY’S TMJ4 of a mob of young people attacking innocent fair-goers at the end of the opening night of State Fair, with some callers claiming a racially-charged scene.

Milwaukee Police confirmed there were assaults outside the fair.

Witnesses’ accounts claim everything from dozens to hundreds of young black people beating white people as they left State Fair Thursday night.

Authorities have not given official estimates of the number of people involved in the attacks.

“It looked like they were just going after white guys, white people,” said Norb Roffers of Wind Lake in an interview with Newsradio 620 WTMJ. He left the State Fair Entrance near the corner of South 84th Street and West Schlinger Avenue in West Allis.

“They were attacking everybody for no reason whatsoever.”

“It was 100% racial,” claimed Eric, an Iraq war veteran from St. Francis who says young people beat on his car.

“I had a black couple on my right side, and these black kids were running in between all the cars, and they were pounding on my doors and trying to open up doors on my car, and they didn’t do one thing to this black couple that was in this car next to us. They just kept walking right past their car. They were looking in everybody’s windshield as they were running by, seeing who was white and who was black. Guarantee it.”

There seems to be a general consensus from witnesses that the mob was racially motivated, striking down white fair-goers while leaving their black counterparts alone. The mob smashed people over the head, knocked them off motorcycles, beat those who fell to the ground, and attacked people in their vehicles. Police were dispatched to handle what officials described as a “a large, unruly crowd” committing battery and vandalism.

Imagine mobs of young white kids assaulting black individuals at an event, causing enough damage and harm to warrant state police response. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would be on the next flight out. We’d hear the moral outrage from the media about the right-wing whipping up racial hatred and this being the inevitable end result.

But it’s a mob of black kids selectively assaulting white folks? Eh, probably just misbehaving youth. Isolated incident. Nothing to see here. Also, mention the mob was mostly black and you’re a condemnable racist who should be ashamed of yourself.
