The family of one of the Cincinnati brawlers claimed the only reason the fight has garnered so much attention was because the person punched in the face is a white woman.
Jermaine Matthews, 39, and Montianez Merriweather, 34, were initially charged with aggravated riot and assault after the massive brawl in the streets of Cincinnati, Ohio, went viral this week.
Matthews, however, was hit with three more charges on Thursday - two felonious assault and one assault charge.
Outside of court, two relatives of Merriweather told WLWT that the race of the victims had catapulted the case to national attention.

BINGO
This is about to move beyond “Black Fatigue”. It will not take very much more.

You need more “****”s ....
A lot more.
It was a quote of just one person, so I used the singular.
The relative is correct. Since this was obviously a RACIST HATE CRIME it is of national interest. Had the victims been the same race as the giant mob of attackers, it would be a local crime story. Why aren’t they apologizing for the actions of their violent relative instead of looking for excuses?
I’m sick of media pretending this was a “brawl”. The video shows a mob assaulting one guy, then anyone who tried to help the victim.
More of the broad brush statements.
Good grief.
Re: 39 - Some blacks - yes.
“Blacks” with no qualifier - implying all blacks? Uhh, no.
We were the only white family in 4 blocks...so I get it
