Racially Motivated Arsons in Early Western United States

[Naga_Fireball]

Some of you from earlier 'sites may recall the threads detailing arsons & fires started in & blamed on minority communities in England and USA.

Nostradamus himself in the 1500s predicted one of these regrettable events, later carried out in London circa 1666.

This trend of "burning out" the undesirable was continued in the early years of certain US states.

Honolulu, Seattle, are but two places where the racial violence was well documented.

Shockingly in 2015 Walla Walla erected a historical marker between chief yellow birds statue and the transit center, detailing how in 1887 Walla Wallas highly successful and centralized Chinese community was burned to the ground, later properties sold out from underneath the rightful tenants, and the chinese community systematically deported.

God damn, holy shit, what the fuck, America.......

Oh Naga! A good curse every now and then is merited and good for the soul. These pieces of US history are shocking and should be brought back to light again, and again. Thank you. Most people's memory is way too short.

Thank you, Christine,
Walla Walla is really kicking my ass and breaking my heart this week.

A person gets older and thinks he or she knows what true suffering is, but then life makes like baseball and throws the most horrible curve ball.

To realize that something moving so quickly can encompass and destroy so much hope.

But that is loser talk; clearly I need to work on hitting the pitch that is thrown.

I think I could probably be starting a thread today on sexual confusion. Sigh

Hello my dears 8(

San Francisco if I recall was another place where a China town burned (could be wrong)

Eek right? And wasn't it the west coast states in USA that supported hitler (!) And hoped he would win the war --

In a way you might say, there is an ongoiibg civil war in the USA to this day.,.. But like the Cold War, waged in stealth.

Christine honey I'm so sorry I was rude earlier.

Terrible ego busting day here

Hey guys, wanted to add, between 11am and lunch time Friday, walla walla had a strange fire.

I was near the Chinatown fire marker and smelled some bad shit.

I looked up and because I was on a bicycle, saw huge column of brown smoke from NW town.

Thinking it could be the prison burning, i rode toward Washington park.

Between city center and HA HQ was a shed or small garage burning. Many response vehicles, huge turnout

The local paper says yesterday morning there was a fire on Division Street in WW. The renter was not home but a dog survived in a back room & was rescued.

It seems odd cause lady who rented it was out of town. Her name is Patty Cook. Is it in bad taste to point out Patti is lucky she did not??

The article claims that the dog breed blue heeler has something to do with the dog surviving, according to the owner at least.

Eek . it is good to not leave pets at home.
