The girl’s father ran for help? He abandoned his daughter who was clearly threatened? He was no father. A real father would have fought to the death to protect his daughter.
I’m not a father, but I am a brother and an uncle, and I’ll tell you right now that if some POS is going to get to my sister or my nieces it will be over me dead body.
How is he going to fight 5 armed thugs when NYS and NYC denies him the right to carry anything to protect his daughter with?
If they kept him there during the attack fighting to the death might make sense, but when they told him to leave, wasting the opportunity to try to get effective help for his daughter would be foolish.
What did Edgar-the-Bug say to those terms?
I would say the father and daughter were black as well.
