A white active-duty soldier who was seen in a viral video berating and shoving a Black man in a South Carolina neighborhood has been charged with third-degree assault and battery, according to the Richland County Sheriff's Department.

"The first time I saw the video, it was terrible," Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said at a press conference Wednesday evening. "It was unnecessary. It was a bad video -- young man was the victim, the individual that was arrested was the aggressor, and he's been dealt with accordingly."

...According to the sheriff's department, the victim "approached several neighbors in a threatening manner and the confrontation escalated after a neighbor asked Pentland to intervene."...

...Late Wednesday, the Richmond County Sheriff's Department said Pentland and his family were moved from their home after protests outside became violent and the home was vandalized. The street was shut down to nonresidents, as well.

Officials said they were called to the Pentland home around 8:20 p.m. Wednesday due to an unknown number of protesters vandalizing the home. ...

when the instigator becomes the victim of the play, when the sheriff plays the mental health card for the instigator, racist things happen to nice people who were set up.

Lott, you’re a scumbag. That soldier showed incredible patience with that agent provocateur.

The protestors showed up pretty quickly. The Democrats have their mobs ready to go at anytime anywhere.

How’s this for a new tactic for the Left:

Leftist in the neighborhood identifies an outspoken conservative in the neighborhood.

Black guy is sent in to harass and pick a fight with him.

If he responds, then BLM shows up to harass him out of the neighborhood.

And the Leftist who set him up stays in the shadows.

Something smells rotten in this possible “Set-up” scenario and it’s not the Magnolias.

Agreed and the information warfare wing of the democrat party of abc news loves to label a person by their co!or when it makes their enemies look bad (i.e. White) but will leave the race out of the story when a black person murders somebody.

We have a criminal government supported by a criminal media.

It appears that the soldier was standing up against a bully and the cops are siding with the blm bully.

This thing has gotten way out of hand, and if it comes to your neighborhood, what will your individual response be?

This is going to get ugly in small towns where no one expects this kind of criminal action.

We’re a tribal country now. It’s tribe against tribe. Americans no longer exist. I don’t need to hear the psycho pedophile whining about “UNITY”. There is NO UNITY in a nation the freaking Nazi and Commie “democrats” built.

What you don’t see in the video is what led up to the confrontation.

Was the video edited to make the white guy look bad and the black guy look like a saint?

Neighbors and I have already had discussions for local response. If you don’t know your neighbors, make an effort to meet them. They may be the only people around to save your ass if you need it. And if they’re belligerents, well, it’s not too late to move.

Notice how they lowercase White and uppercase black in the article. That’s the latest perk for Whitey that he gets based on his “White privilege.”

It's more-equalism a la "Animal Farm", and the rest of us are less equal now.
