A bystander blowing the assailant's head off would have been much cheaper in the long run.

got password?

Maybe you'd feel better if there was justification. Sims' lawyer tried to create some. She said Scarpino, who is white, made a racial remark about Sims, who is black. But no witnesses -- and there were several -- confirmed this.

Gee, a lawyer playing the phony race card. How novel....

[RIGHT IN LAS VEGAS]

Do you know how to insert an mpeg off it's properties?

[hinckley buzzard]

What does the author mean, 'senseless?' The reason for this act is obvious from his own account. It was a racial hate crime.

[Texas_Jarhead]

"Last week, Mark Jones of Akron was found guilty of felonious assault and sentenced to four years in prison for pounding on Joseph Scarpino."

Good! and his sorry a$$ beach should have been charged with inciting or something. Totally senseless. And what the hell happened to the hate crime certification? Does Ohio not have such a thing?

[cyborg]

The owner should have called the police right away when she started yelling. Looks like he was going to crack her in the face. All those grown assed men around and they stood there like bumps on a log. I couldn't finish watching the video because of the intolerable cussing. I had a very similar run in with two women in a department store and I had to have security escort me to my car.

[sailork]

Crazy nobody tried to break it up. Everyone just stood around watching.

[GeronL]

Sounds like a pure hate crime....

there would be some degree of comfort in being able to say Scarpino deserved this.

Gee, this writer would be comforted to know that the white guy deserved it

[claudiustg]

What about this Sims? Was she charged?

[Altamira]

This is one of the most shocking things I've seen in a long time.

And this isn't being prosecuted as a hate crime, even after the perp called the victim a "white motherf*cker"? Typical of "hate crime" accusers: Instigate racial violence, and then accuse the victim of making a racial remark. And even a nasty racial remark would never justify laying a hand on someone else, no matter how vile.

The black woman perp in the video ought to go to jail, too, for assault and inciting the other perp to violence.

Amazing how when no one carries a gun, crap like this goes on. In my state, the guy would have been likely staring down the barrel of someone's trusty sidearm.

Sounds like a hate crime to me. Oh excuse me, the victim is white. No hate crime here.

[BJungNan]

Sims, in fact, made the first physical contact, repeatedly flicking Scarpino on the cheek before instructing Jones to ``take care of this white mother (expletive).''

This was a hate crime right? And the punishment for a hate crime is only four years in jail? The article was well written. I wonder if in other coverage we can get an answer on this.

Forget that link unless someone has a password and username to get in. That paper wants you signed up for every bit of junk mail there is just to view it. You sign up and your mailbox is going to be stuffed full of junk mail by morning.

[BJungNan]

Wow! Four years is not nearly enough time in jail for that.

What would you have done if you were there? Everyone there just stood around and watched or pretended not to notice.

[Hank Rearden]

Four years, hell. This POS needs to be beaten to death in prison, so he'll never have the chance to do something like this again.

He needs to be in hell with an attitude like that.

We have established this was a racial hate crime.

Since I'm feeling liberal, life in prison without parole, and no access to weight machines or anything else to keep this animal strong.

[Fruitbat]

What a couple of fat pigs! The male pig even took the cell phone!

It didn't appear that that guy w/ the cell phone was prepared to get hit. I would have ripped the D-bags eyeballs out of his head.

[Fruitbat]

Those two belong in a zoo!

Is it "Hate Crime" yet?

Oh wait. There can never be a hate crime against a white man. I forgot.
