GALVESTON, Texas - It was supposed to be a holiday getaway to remember but before Ken Duble and his wife could board their Christmas cruise out of Galveston, he became a victim.

"My wife started screaming and shrieking," said Duble.

As they walked along 24th St. and Avenue E near the Strand, three young men attacked out of nowhere.

“...Risky game to play in Texas...Whitey likes to defend himself....”

We’ve been down there to motorcycle rallies and have sailed out of there a couple of times on cruises; fortunately without any issues. The feral animals know exactly where to pull this kind of stunt because they know anyone going on a cruise has to be totally disarmed in order to board the ship. This makes for easy pickings. Anywhere else that’s not a gun-free zone, they would run the extremely high risk of being shot dead.

We’ve walked those streets many a time (no, not that way) and I’ll make sure we won’t be doing it again any time soon.Little punks need to have their stupid heads strummed and hopefully they will or get their butts shot which hopefully they will!

Yeah, when the news doesn’t mention the race of the assaulters it means they were black.

They targeted people going on a cruise. They know they cant be armed on the ship.

But you can’t carry any weapon on a cruise ship. Every time you board a cruise ship, all items are X-Rayed and passengers must go through metal detectors.

The only people who actually live on the island are black.

So they will cry racism when cruise lines decide not to depart from that port because of this.

“you can’t carry any weapon on a cruise ship”

I never really understood that. They took my folding knife once and promised to give it back when I got off the ship. So, I took a steak knife from my table and gave it to the guy when he gave my folder back. Yes, I’m a Dick like that sometimes. Can’t help it.

I’ve never seen a ghetto until driving through Galveston. No lie, there are people there who have never set foot off the island.

So, shut down all welfare for the non disabled. In a couple of weeks they will all have a job and not have time to beat whitey for fun.

I am pretty close to losing my last PC speech inhibition. Maybe it’s a good thing.

The guy in the video was straining. "They didn't take anything. They just want to hit... people." And then, "As a society, we still have a long way to go." LOL. It's society's fault. Good job, Democrat voter!

Throughout the video, the corners of his mouth were turned down in disgust and resentment, however. They say a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged. Welcome, buddy!

Next time, they need to bring a couple of large friends who are armed, to see them off. Or, maybe the cruise line needs to run a jitney van from several safe locations with cameras, like a populous hotel lobby, the police station, firehouses, the national guard armory, etc.

Whenever you are in a “no weapons zone”, carry an 8 D-cell flashlight — obviously not a weapon ... but functionally it can be used like an 18 inch long solid lead pipe.
