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. ...

Why is "white man" have lower case than Blackman?

That’s what I read. He’s been roaming the neighborhood for awhile harassing the women who live there. Somebody finally had enough.

Whenever I write “democrat”, it’s always lower case because I cannot stand them, I have no respect for them, and think they’re all cheaters, liars, and losers.

>>”According to the sheriff’s department, the victim “approached several neighbors in a threatening manner”

And yet he calls the other man the aggressor.

>>What if the roles were reversed? Would we have even heard about it?

If the roles were reversed, the vandalism would be called vigilantism, lynch mob tactics, and hate speech.

Cameras - it’s all about the video.

Instead of confronting in front of their cameras, bring your own with your own muscle backup.

This guy fell right into the role of ‘Sucker’ in the Antifa ‘Aktion’ playbook.

What you see in the video is a little jerk who is deliberately instigating the trouble.

He lies about living in the neighborhood - then can't say where his supposed house is.

Can anyone point me to video or other evidence of what the black dude actually did, besides walking down the street?

I’d love to have something to counter the narrative, if it exists.

“And yet he calls the other man the aggressor.”

I wonder what it feels like to wake suddenly in the cold, gray light of dawn and realize that you have sold your soul to the Devil.

Hope I never find out, but if I have to know, I can always ask Sheriff Lott.

Getting to be that body cams should be worn by everyone to protect themselves.

If you do get involved in a lethal or non-lethal self-defense situation, there is likely to be several unfriendly witnesses swearing that you were the aggressor. Along with carefully edited video.

Absent your own objective video record you will be screwed.

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

Nor will you. But the Soldier's life from this day forward and his family is ruined. And the White people are still in denial that organized warfare is being waged against them.

Any cop that doesn’t have theirs*ON* all the time is an idiot. Better a reprimand than having your life ruined.

Sorry, the person with the gun, badge, and authority of the State behind them does *NOT* get the benefit of the doubt, nor are they innocent until proved guilty any more; if there’s a dead Citizen there had better be solid video evidence of why, or kiss your career, and maybe your city goodbye.
