Man Arrested for Driving While Black By Crime

(TheSatyr.com) CHERYVILLE, MA -- Police arrested a man suspected of Driving While Black along Route 76 in Rodeo Park, Thursday night, according to police reports.

John Reilly, 28, of Jefferson Valley is in custody awaiting a pretrial hearing after being pulled over by two police cruisers who caught him changing lanes and signaling without using the proper skin tone. A driver in a passing car noticed Reilly in his decaucasianated state and immediately dialed 911.

"There is a man two cars ahead of me and I think he's black," said a distressed caller on a 911 tape recording. "S---. He is black, I see him. I see him. He switched lanes. Please send a cop out here to get this guy off the road."

Police responded immediately to the scene and after pulling over Reilly found him to have a black skin-tone level of .446, more than 40 times the legal limit, and all kinds of black paraphernalia in the trunk of his car, including two half-empty bottles of Sprite, a spare tire and an April 1999 Sports Illustrated.



"This guy told us that he never usually does this, but just didn't realize how black he was before getting behind the wheel this evening," said arresting Officer Derek Reilly, no relation. "But a look back on his record showed that this guy was convicted of D.W.B. five times in the past three years."

Added Officer Reilly: "We'll finally get another menace to white drivers off the roads."

A hearing is set for Friday. If convicted, Reilly could face three to four years in a state penitentiary, a $50,000 fine and vehicular impounding.

Sign of the times. This is standard procedure in Texas, now Dumbya is applying it to the whole country.

No, the poor Mr. Reilley was arrested the five times previously, each in the Clinton administration. Clinton himself said that he was taking the standard Arkansas policy, and extending it nationally.
