You mean, all the white guy did was say, “what’ll I do today? I know. I’ll go harass a black man.” We don’t know what the fight was about, or who started it. He might have been responding to harassment. It might have all been a misunderstanding. It might have been a spur of the moment altercation about who cut off whom in traffic, or parked their car in the wrong space, or let their dog leave a gifty on the lawn. All we have is Yahoo!’s context-less fragment of a story. I reserve judgment on the whole thing, although it appears that the fighting whitey might have been in the wrong. But a young man named Sandman is now considerably richer thanks to a similar rush to judgment by a media outlet and the ensuing tweet storm. Wait for the facts.
But, Sandman didn’t do anything wrong. All he did was smile and try to be polite when a crazy man got in his face.
What this guy did was very different. This guy was the crazy man getting in someone’s face.
But, okay, let’s hear his story.
