Six Decades of Criminal Savagery

The assault on the girl in Hazelwood in St. Louis County last week prompted me to remember the following passage written in 1963 by St. Louis attorney Lee Meriwether. (The girl in Hazelwood did not die. What little information St. Louis “news reporters” have seen fit to disclose claims that she is still in hospital recovering from the vicious assault.)
Mr. Meriwether:
“On December 5, 1962, Ellis Coney, a stalwart six-foot Negro, beat Betty Foster on the head with a baseball bat, raped her unconscious body, then hid it in a bank of snow. December 1962 was cold in St. Louis; the temperature dropped to zero but Ellis Coney was comfortable in the warm jail in which he was confined after his arrest and admission of the crime. Papers published pictures of Coney and described the food he received in jail—more and better food than he had at home.
“Other sadistic savages in St. Louis saw Coney’s picture in the papers and they regard him as a hero; they envy him. They decided to imitate him, get their picture in he newspapers, and be comfortable in a warm cell out of the zero weather afflicting St. Louis.
“Within three weeks after Coney raped Betty Foster, there were three more rapes and murders in St. Louis.
“If St. Louis law permitted police to enter Coney’s cell, his bat in their hands, and say:
‘Coney, with this bat we will bash your skull next Saturday and scatter your brains on these walls; your picture will be in the papers but this time it will not be a pretty picture; when sadistic savages see it they won’t imitate you. Your picture, your brains sprinkling the walls of a prison cell, will enable them to learn crime does NOT pay. Then there will be fewer rapes and murders in St. Louis.’
“The law does not permit police to pursue this policy, hence rapes and murders occur almost daily in St. Louis.”
— St Louis attorney Lee Meriwether, writing in My First 100 Years, 1862-1962. St. Louis: Artcraft Press, 1963, p. 184.
Of course it goes without saying that St. Louisans did not learn anything from lenient policies for such crimes by what Lawrence Auster called “primitive predators”. The ease with which such savages continue to perpetrate such vicious crimes is just one consequence Americans are continuing to pay for coddling criminals over the past six decades.

The electric chair or guillotine after a speedy trial. That would have been the way to go.
One important thing to bear in mind:
The Powers-That-Be want people to become enraged, restless, violent and extremely divided. We’re dealing with orchestrated chaos. A race war is just what they’d like. Crime has been actively encouraged so they can bring in military police, digital IDs and constant surveillance. The State at this point possesses a capacity to inflict harm on innocent people — and the will to use it — that far, far exceeds that of any savage criminals.
That’s the agenda. We need to be wise as serpents and welcome allies from any race in resisting it.

Your posts mentioning this incident are the first I saw or read. My initial thought was that the fight itself likely started over a boy that both girls were interested in, and not a white boy, if you know what I mean. I did some further digging into it in the wee hours and found that my initial suspicion has, we’ll say, better than a fifty percent chance of being accurate.
It’s fairly common knowledge, at least in my neck of the woods, that black women aren’t particularly fond of white girls taking their men, to put it mildly. For my part, this is perfectly understandable from the black female perspective for several reasons I won’t get into since they’re fairly obvious to my mind. It seems that Neighborhood Scout has stopped publishing its Top 100 Most Violent Cities list altogether at this point. Several years ago it stopped dividing St Louis and East St. Louis into two distinct communities. I should imagine the reason for that sudden change had to do with the fact that East St. Louis was always at the very top of that list, whereas St. Louis proper might be found down the list a ways, in the late teens to mid twenties.
My understanding is that Hazelwood (Hazelwood East, I think it is) school is in East St. Louis. The racial demographics of the school seem to confirm this, being 90.5% black and only 5.1% white, according to the data I pulled up. All of this in mind, it seems that the victim (Kaylee Gains is her name) put herself into a situation that had a high probability of resulting the way that it did; and that is to say nothing of the probable (abusive) treatment she would have received later on at the hands of her black “love interest” had not this incident occurred. I have strong doubts in any case that her parents would have placed Kaylee in a private school even if they could have afforded to. I could be wrong about that, of course, but I will stick to what my instincts are telling me until evidence to the contrary proves otherwise. I will go further and say that *more than likely* Kaylee was not discouraged by her parents or other guardians from pursuing black boys in spite of the danger to her of doing so. I read somewhere that Kaylee was advised by one or more of her guardians a few days prior to the incident to stand up for herself against the bullying she had recently been subjected to at school. I’m guessing that the bullying she was complaining of had everything to do with her pursuit of black boys, or, a black boy, and the severe disapproval that pursuit received from one of his black love interests. Namely Kaylee’s attacker.

Don’t you hate how this is being deliberately promoted everywhere?
Of course, black girls and women are resentful! It’s only human nature.
Mr. Morris responds:
Quite! Our discussion on this subject brings to mind something I wrote in a comment to one of Mr. Auster’s articles touching upon the same basic subject matter some years ago (2006-7 if memory serves). I mentioned in the comment an interaction I’d had with a retired public school teacher from Ardmore, OK, while doing some remodel work on her house maybe ten years before. The subject of the integration of blacks and whites in the public schools naturally came up between us, whereupon this wonderful elderly lady said to me that,
“It is the poor young white girls who will suffer the most for this, being, as they are, naturally inclined to repair injustice whenever and however it is given within their power to do so. They’re now constantly being told in public school and other settings that blacks have been unjustly abused by whites for many decades, through slavery and white supremacy and so forth; their reaction to this is naturally to give themselves, body, mind and spirit, to black boys and men in what they have been led to believe are just reparations. We’re seeing the firstfruits of this already. It will get worse with time.”
That’s not a direct, word-for-word quote, mind you, but it is very close to it. I’m also reminded of what Dr. Dabney (Robert Lewis Dabney) said almost a hundred and fifty years ago pertaining to a slightly different subject, but certainly pertinent here as well, to wit:
“Now a [white] woman can never resist an appeal to the principle of generous devotion; her glory is to crucify herself in the cause of duty and of zeal. This plea will be successful. But when the virtuous have once tasted the dangerous intoxication of [social reform] excitement and of power, even they will be absorbed; they will learn to do con amore what was first done as a painful duty, and all the baleful influences of [social justice] will be diffused throughout the sex.”
For my part, a return to Jim Crow laws, in direct defiance of our “federal” overlords, would be a welcome turn of events at this point.

Terry Morris’s assessment is accurate. Just for the record:. Hazelwood is not in East St. Louis. It is a suburb north of St. Louis. I remember it from years when it was civilized. One day in the summer of 1972, I walked through Hazelwood to the street where good friends of ours lived. I wanted to pay them a surprise visit. As pleasant a walk as could be desired.
Summer, 2017, same neighborhood: Man robbed while walking at 1 p.m. by two blacks, 18 and 19.
With a few exceptions, Americans have a remarkable and suicidal propensity not to learn anything from history or experience. Even now they fail to understand the meaning of words like “integration”, “desegregation”, “non-discrimination”, “diversity”, and “inclusion”. Each is code for a gun held by government and pointed at their heads. The game isn’t about any of those things, but about Power and Obedience. Most Americans have shown themselves more than happy to genuflect in response to that gun. If dimwitted parents were not so gullible, they might not surrender their children to public schools that celebrate the forcible mixing of incompatible races, and the girl in Hazelwood might be hale and hearty today instead of brain-damaged for life.
