Protesters demand gas stations shut down after violent fight goes viral

PITTSBURGH - A fight at a gas station on Pittsburgh's North Side was recorded on video and went viral on social media.

Police said multiple people are now facing criminal charges, and the videos led to a protest Saturday and Sunday.

For the second straight day, dozens of people gathered outside two Pittsburgh gas stations to protest the owners.

Police also were back at the Exxon gas station after they said two customers were violently attacked by an owner and employee. Officers went into the gas station as they continue their investigation, collecting evidence throughout the day.

On Sunday, protesters told Channel 11 they know the girls involved and that they are not the type of people to start fights. Protesters also said they plan on holding a press conference Monday morning to address the beating.

Police said they were called about 6:45 p.m. Friday to the gas station on Brighton Road for a report of a fight between the male gas station owners and two female customers.

When you have problems you can’t even acknowledge you will never be able to address them.

Or they have to bear the cost of one or more armed guards to keep the ferals under control, like the grocery store and Walgreens that opened near where I live.

Looks like the “ladies” bit off too big a piece of the biscuit and choked on it. Now, of course the gas station owners will have to be punished for standing their ground against a protected class.

If that is the case I agree with the owner. Besides how much gasoline could she possibly have spilled that a refund was even doable?

Maybe because they were the first to get physical? But I bet it was really to appease the “protesters” so their “protest” would not spread to other businesses.

Let’s say I wake up tomorrow and being right-handed is proclaimed by academics, media, politicians et al to be a build-in handicap. That being right-handed means I am a victim - of life or of my fellow man. That any mistakes I make are due to my right-handedness and that they will be excused. Moreoever, if anyone points out that I can overcome, ignore, or otherwise deal with my right-handedness I can accuse them of discrimination. Academics, media and politicians will even take up my cause and persecute anyone who points out that I am right-handed and that being right-handed means I am exempt from societal norms up to and including avoiding drugs, alcohol and criminality.

I suppose if I had lived years and years with this ‘handicap’ I might start to believe it despite all the evidence to the contrary. But it wouldn’t make me any less slothful, ignorant or evasive when it came to my actions.

Just saw this on the local noon news. It is now the pump was not working properly and the ghetto rats wanted their money back. The story keeps changing. There was a big fat Al Sharpton looking guy there from the local NAACP spouting off the usual race baiting talking points. Cops have not charged anyone yet. They are still "investigating." Probably means they don't want to charge the Amish right now and they are waiting for this to quiet down.

I got hooked on watching the “Charlie Bo” videos on YouTube.

It’s a totally different world.

Just last night on Tommy Sotomayor show he was talking about some Arabs at their gas station and how they beat up a bunch of black women. Tommy showed the video. Am wondering now if this was it because I knew there would be trouble after watching that video. Those Arabs did some serious poundcaking on those women.

Tommy has not cut that segment and reposted it but when it does I’ll share it.

The actual fight video. Those Arabs have just now lost their business and they are going to jail. I know it’s okay for them to beat up women in their country but they in America now. They just mess up big time

On a scale of 1-10 it is a 25 that they are.

At the risk of being called a ni**er lover here it looks to me like the sand rats went over the top beating on these two Klingon ladies

I may have to go join the protest in good conscience

From the article:

“The gas station’s security cameras inside the store show the women initiating the argument.”

Haven’t watched the video, but typical ghetto crap would be my guess, and when the owner wasn’t willing to just roll over for it, they now are being defamed.

That is the way it should be, but when one is entitled, one is entitled. They are entitled to free money, free housing, free food, why not free gasoline. I can see their point.

I know a guy who emigrated here from India years ago. Now a US Citizen.

He looked into buying a gas station/convenience store. He ran the numbers and found that if he busted his hump 60-70 hours per week and risked getting shot on a nightly basis, he might clear $50K in profit by the end of the year.

He declined. You’d have to be a certain type of desperate to take that deal.
