Video Captures Violent Attack on St. Louis Train That Began After Michael Brown Question
KTLA ^

Posted on 03/28/2015 8:44:24 PM PDT by TigerClaws

WARNING: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS IMAGES AND LANGUAGE THAT MAY OFFEND SOME VIEWERS.

When one man sat down next to a second man in a St. Louis light rail car late Monday and asked him his opinion on the shooting of Michael Brown, it was not the beginning of a discussion.

It was the start of an assault, police said.

The second man, who was white, didn’t want to answer the question. Then the first man, who was black, boxed him in the face. Two more African-American men joined in the beating, according to a police report.

The ‘epic beard man’ video has a disturbing sub-plot. Whenever violence breaks out in a public place, all the plus-size nubian princesses going home to another baby-daddy all start hollering like baboons, deliberately exacerbating the situation into complete chaos.

Shit like this is exactly why Bernhard Goetz was and will always be a hero to me. He’s alive now because he said “no more.”

Mr. Goetz owns an electronics company, he calls it “Vigilante Electronics”.

I actually saw it on local news, too. Not in St. Louis new area.

It is common for a question to be asked as a prelude for an assault or mugging. This allows the prospective assaulter to judge the prospective target. Any show of fear or timidity will let the mugger know you are an easy target.

Wow. Another one? There was a story posted here just yesterday about an attack that sounded identical.

Well, with all the THOUSANDS of black-on-white assaults, the incidents start to blend together.

Neither our society or its "leaders" seem able to control black assaults verbal and physical

Letting Ferguson-inspired protestors have their way last year was a horrible mistake. I think the problem is arrogance. Many in leadership or in their cushy rich isolated socially liberal ghettos don't have real face time with inner city dwellers. They seem to think that if they go along with initial demands the protestors will just fade away.

Doesn't work that way. Give those with an attitude of entitlement an opening, and they'll storm through it and not give society a chance to close the door.

Keep in mind that all of this stuff is happening during a very cold spring with the kids still in school. What's going to happen on warm summer days when older teens and young adults have no jobs but a lot of complaints? Even my most naïve acquaintances fear anarchy where ever there are large gatherings of people with chips on their shoulders.

The white guy needs to go to prison for using his face to assault the black guys knuckles.

They face possible charges of third-degree assault, police said. It is a misdemeanor under Missouri law.

How about a 'hate crime'? Of course not. How about national almost non stop attention to the RACIAL aspect of it? Of course not.

With the black violence and murder rate, cops may not be able to notice ant slight uptick due to vigilantes.

In your last paragraph you raise a point I forgot-Summer. I differ slightly in that you ascribe to the unemployment theory. I think they are happy with taxpayer funding which forms an idle pool ready for a rumble.

Why? I think most people are intelligent enough to know if they are reading about an incident of which they aregistered already aware.

Listening to some of them interviewed, they're sounding like it's their job to change society. I don't agree with their not working. There should be no benefits for anyone who doesn't report for work. Get rid of cheap imports, and let the under-class work in manufacturing, for example, in exchange for their benefits.
