Really? Uttering an offensive word is worse than almost killing the man? Whew.
I'm assuming "ALMOST" was your liberal interpretation? The drunk is still alive and hopefully he'll have learned a valuable lesson.
But considering the mindset of metros such as youself, charges will be likely brought against the "N*****" and the obnoxious drunk will be free to repeat his actions.......
I'm sure you're happy with that..........
