WEST POINT, Miss. -- West Point police said a man received life-threatening injuries in what they are investigating as an aggravated assault at a restaurant.

Ralph Weems IV, who was injured early Saturday, was in fair condition Sunday at North Mississippi Medical Center, hospital spokeswoman Genie Causey said without elaborating.

A relative, Bradley Barnes of Madison, told The Associated Press by telephone on Sunday that his brother-in-law was in a medically induced coma following brain surgery. "They're going to try and wake him up tomorrow and see what damage was done," Barnes said, describing Weems as a 32-year-old former Marine who had served in Iraq

When you moisten a fingertip, insert it in their ear, and make an annoying sound. And yes, it does start fights.

When we were kids, my youngest sister, Kate, did that to our Father as he napped on the couch. Almost wet my pants.

Kate is now 48.

Wow! Have you read the "rebuttal" of this story at the same source link?!?!

Report of black mob beating white men in Mississippi smells fishy: Jarvis DeBerry

To give you clue, HIS version leads with a photo of Michael Brown's coffin.

Police Chief Tim Brinkley did not immediately return a call Sunday from The AP. "This does not appear to be a hate crime,"

What the hell has to happen before a black can commit a hate crime? There is no doubt that if it had been 20 white guys beating up one black guy, Obama would have already dispatched Holder to the scene to press federal hate crime charges.

Jarvis complains about everything. When they didn’t shoot an armed white suspect he complained it was racism. Even after an armed black suspect wasn’t shot at an earlier robbery.

Well I’ll just say I handled the neighborhood issue with the section 8 house, and the freeloaders across the street here Sat. afternoon......and the street has been quiet ever since!

I was polite but very firm, and with pen and pad in hand....just as a prop. When I finished telling them this is not the ‘Hood” and they weren’t going to make it into one etc. etc. etc........I then proceeded to tell them what was going to happen if the behavior etc. didn’t stop.

I would not be calling the police...I would be contacting my
“Military” sons, with special military clearances, and warned them they did not want to meet with them and their friends.

LOL....the neighborhood has thus far been quiet!!!!!

Certainly it was all about race, but to the point where the guys who got thumped either didn’t consider that race was a problem, or that they were too important to get thumped.

Seriously, if a white person enters a black bar in a bad mood, do they turn around and walk right out, or do they get in an argument?

This is a common sense thing.

that’s how libs manipulate hate crime stats. They say no crimes against whites are hate crimes and every crime against blacks is.

According to David Horowitz a white person is 25 times more likely to be a victim of a violent crime by a black person than vice versa. So if we’re really judging who is more likely to hate who, then that should settle it.

Human beings can be incredibly insensitive and brutal.

These men really ought not encourage a response.

A war is getting stirred up. Obama and Holder are stirring the pot.

What an evil shame.

Many nice innocent folks (and some not so innocent), will die.

I’ll answer your question with a rhetorical question.

Assuming that a reasonable distance from where you live there is “a bad part of town”, not an unrealistic scenario, if you were to go there while drunk and get into arguments with people, would it be your fault if somebody attacked you?

Granted, just about to walk into a rough bar, and somebody advises you to not go in there, because it has a “rough crowd” who are in a bad mood; but you go in anyway. Would it be your fault?

Another thing... He posted this:

Jarvis DeBerry, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune 1 hour ago
I know this is a difficult concept for some people, but unless I’m being sarcastic or satirical, I actually mean what I say. And in this case, the tripling of the number of folks involved leaped out at me as suspicious. That’s not all: the suggestion that black folks were so mad at Michael Brown that they were keeping folks from eating hashbrowns also strikes me as unbelievable. I promise: If I’m proved wrong, I’ll say so, but it’s worth noting that one of my suspicions has already been validated.

....

You hear that? It’s unbelievable to him that black people would ever attack a white person due to a perceived racial grudge. Angry blacks didn’t even let Reginald Denny drive down the street much less eat hashbrowns.

Also, he seems confident in the statement of the police. You think he’ll walk it back if they only show 7 attacking from a group of around 20?

Doubtful.

One of the things the Bible makes clear as an abomination is sowing discord.

16These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

17A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

18An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

19A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Obama/Holder/et al are Renaissance men when it comes to things that are abominations.

Good post. The Lord will be the final Judge of all people. It’s best to know what He thinks!
