THUMBS DOWN

THUMBS DOWN to Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price, whose remarks following the beating of four suspected thieves by Nation of Islam members show the ultimate lunacy of Multicultural Mania. Defending the vigilante justice meted out at an Oak Cliff mall, Price declared that African-American youth should be punished not by “the white Anglo justice system,” but by “the community,” (code for “those who agree with me”). That is a prescription for anarchy, an echo of the time when certain white “communities” such as the Ku Klux Klan served as judge, jury, and executioner.
