I'll never understand why the white dude slapped the black guy in red and started that whole brawl. You just don't put your hands on people unless you're ready for a fight, especially in that setting. No common sense.
Slapped him?
In the video I watched, it could be described as a stiff arm to the red shirt's chest, as he started leaning towards the white guy. This was after they both jawed, and pushed each other for a few minutes. It would have been ridiculous if that resulted in a fight...but if those two ended up in a fight, so be it. That's not a story.
But the red shirt guy he stiff armed isn't even the one who attacked...some guy in a white shirt started punching, and then a guy in a black shirt sucker punched the white guy, and then everyone else piled on. Not only that, they started beating his friend, and eventually his wife. It instantly became an out of control mob.
HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLE JUSTIFY THAT TYPE OF ACTION?
Again, if two guys get into a fight, that's not a story. A mob jumping innocent people is absolutely a story. And if the details are reversed, it becomes a GIANT story.
The speed at which they all jump into the action is astounding. It's like a pack of dogs, just waiting for anything to set them off.
This is becoming far too common. Someone got stiff armed, someone's flight was delayed, the restaurant was out of ketchup....literally incidents that have caused a group to lose all control of themselves.
And what bothers me the most might be all the bystanders there, videoing and laughing and rooting them on. Watching someone's head get stomped on, and a lady knocked unconscious against the payment. What absolute waste of human flesh they are.
And that police sherrif's comments? What the actual heck??? She needs to lose her job asap. We all watched the entire incident from beginning to end. We saw all the context. The context is shocking and abhorrent. No words exchanged justifies this behavior. We need swift and severe punishment or it'll keep happening.
And because people like her won't issue that punishment, we can all expect it to keep happening.
