Fight started over some video someone took on a cell phone. Tran has had run in’s with PD prior to this, drugs and weapons charges...IMO he’s another little gang banger. Diversity! Multiculturalism! Its so great!

I can't get too worked up about this kind of stupid fight as any kind of big picture problem. It's the muggings that turn into attempted murder that are the bigger problem. A similar kind of stupid fight ended up with the Chinese guy in a body bag and the white guys getting no prison time. An excess of alcohol and testosterone makes people do stupid things. But stabbing an unarmed man in the back is not the way pub brawls are supposed to be conducted.

Going back further in time, a sense of fair play seems not to have animated this particular incident. The white perpetrators, who were acquitted, were presumably not influenced by Chinese culture in deciding to conduct, out in the open, a massacre fueled solely by bloodlust.

Chin tried to escape, but was held by Nitz while Ebens repeatedly bludgeoned Chin with a baseball bat. Chin was struck at least four times with the bat, including blows to the head. When rushed to Henry Ford Hospital, he was unconscious and died after four days in a coma on June 23, 1982.
