White Baton Rouge residents win court battle to form St. George, splitting from poorer Black neighborhoods.

Detractors of the new city label the initiative as “racist,” fearing it will result in the formation of a “white enclave.”

The plan was to force integrate whites. They’ve been doing this since the 1960s. Supposedly, that was going to bring the blacks up out of poverty.

It didn’t work.

People need to be allowed to segregate.

New York Post:

A group of wealthy white Baton Rouge residents have won a decades-long battle to split from the majority-black city to form their own suburb following a state Supreme Court ruling.

After reversing a lower court’s decision on Friday, the Supreme Court ruled 4-3 in favor of the incorporation of St. George, which will form in southeast Baton Rouge.

“This is the culmination of citizens exercising their constitutional rights. We voted and we won,” Andrew Murrell, one of the leaders of the St. George campaign, said in a statement following the victory.

“Now we begin the process of delivering on our promises of a better city,” he added. “We welcome both our friends and foes to the table to create St. George.”

Much like the case with Central — the last incorporated city to be born in East Baton Rouge Parish — the St. George initiative began with hopes of residents starting a new school district before ultimately deciding to create their own city.

Although the St. George supporters failed to garner enough votes in 2015, four years later, the initiative won the election before it was stalled by a lengthy court battle, the New York Times reported.

Sharon Weston Broome, the mayor-president leading the combined Baton Rouge and East Baton Rouge Parish governments, had sued the St. George organizers arguing that the split would siphon more than $48 million in annual tax revenue from the local government.

The opposition also argued that St. George would not have the proper budget to operate on its own.

Justice William J. Crain, the author of the majority opinion, disagreed with the city’s assessment and claimed that a thriving St. George could even become an asset to the declining Baton Rouge.

I’m sure all of these whites would tell you over and over again that they are “not racist.” But they don’t want to live around blacks, they don’t want to go to school with blacks, they don’t want to pay for blacks.

It would be so much easier if they could just say that, instead of dancing around the issue.

It is totally unclear to me why being “racist” has become such a big problem for white people. It wasn’t in the 1960s.

Apparently, whites are a lot softer than they were back then.

Feminism has a lot to do with that.

It’s also social isolation. No one wants to be destroyed for saying something “racist,” and people won’t stand together as communities. So anyone who says the racist thing is going to be destroyed.

You’d have thought that after the BLM riots, people would be willing to just say “we don’t want to be around blacks because they are dangerous and destructive.”

It’s nice to see a community standing together. They didn’t ever say “we don’t want these blacks” – which would have been ideal – but they didn’t back down when they were called racists. That’s coming a lot closer to where we need to be.

Nicanor Vasquez-Mendoza and Silvia Lopez.

It’s insane that we tolerate these literal goblins in our country.

That inbred thing on the left could play an orc in a fantasy movie without even needing makeup.

St. George News:

The man suspected in the shooting death of a teen in St. George was formally charged with first-degree murder Friday, while his girlfriend, who is also implicated in the crime, made a tearful video appearance in court.

The defendants, 32-year-old Nicanor Vasquez-Mendoza and 26-year-old Silvia Lopez, both of St. George, were charged in connection with the alleged murder of 18-year-old Skyler Armstrong Thursday.

On Friday afternoon, the Washington County Attorney’s Office charged Vasquez-Mendoza with one count of first-degree felony murder; second-degree felony counts of obstructing justice and intent to distribute, as well as 10 third-degree felony charges that include obstructing justice; aggravated assault; felony discharge of a firearm; five counts of witness tampering; and two counts of possession of a firearm by a restricted person. He also faces a misdemeanor count of carrying a dangerous weapon under the influence of alcohol/drugs.

Lopez appeared via video in 5th District Court in St. George where she was charged with one second-degree felony count of obstructing justice and five third-degree felony counts of witness tampering.

The charges stem from a shooting incident reported in St. George Wednesday evening in which officers arrived to find Armstrong suffering from a gunshot wound. He was transported to the hospital but died shortly thereafter.

…

Lopez remains in custody on $35,000 bail, while Vasquez-Mendoza is being held on $500,000 bail. Vasquez-Mendoza will appear in court next week.

An annual nationalist march through the centre of Brighton should be banned, a senior councillor has said.

The annual March for England began in 2008 and in recent years has attracted counter-demonstrations.

Leader of the Conservative group Geoffrey Theobald said it was time for the march to be held elsewhere as it damages trade.

In 2013, police made 20 arrests for public order offences, affray, assault, theft and criminal damage.

Mr Theobald said: “The march is unfair on our visitors, on our residents and on our traders.

“Last year we had a really bad winter and then we had the first really nice weekend of the year.

“And what happened? On that day we had this march. This affected the shopkeepers and everybody. I just don’t think it’s fair.”

Sussex Police said it could only ban the march if the force could prove it did not have resources to prevent serious disorder.

Matt Silva, from March for England, said: “Why should we surrender to threats of violence [from protesters]?

“At the end of the day we’re only celebrating St George’s Day.

“We’ve had women and children injured on the march and we don’t condone violence.

“We’re doing all we can for a peaceful day and we’ve been liaising with police since June.”
