CHINO, CA -- Once again, major violence between Raza and African prisoners has erupted within the United States Concentration Camp (Prison) System,
this time at Chino California State Prison. Beginning at 8:20 PM, on Saturday evening (Aug. 8, 2009), African and Raza (Latino) prisoners, in the most brutal fashion, slashing, cutting, hitting each other with anything that could get their hands on, battled against each other for more than 11 hours. Over 200 hundred were hurt, several were critically injured with severe head injuries or stab wounds. Blood was spilled by everyone. Many of those involved will be scared and maimed for life, both physically and mentally....
It is no coincidence that so few white prisoners were involved or hurt. Or, that not “one guard” suffered even a scratch. That fact is, that the racist prison system, which is responsible for the torturous and inhumane treatment of Raza and African prisoners was not the object of the prisoners’ anger. As racist as some of the white prisoners are (many belonging to groups such as the Aryan Brotherhood, Hells Angels, Skin Heads and Minutemen), they also were not the target of the riot. In fact, our carnales and brothers (and carnalas and sisters) in the prisons are so confused and disoriented by the divide and conquer
tactics of the capitalists (from which white power comes from), that they don’t even see the prison system as their main enemy.
