To all of you idiots saying this white guy got what he deserved,you are full of sh**! It is never permissible to strike someone for something they say, a verbal response would have been ok and then if the white guy attacked him physically, a physical response is called for. Hitting someone for their words is no more justifiable than Martin hitting Zimmerman because he thought he was being followed.

IMO, the reason this black guy reacted so strongly was because of the constant bleating on the MSM about the Zimmerman trial and how the poor little boy was shot for doing nothing.

Do you realize that regardless of what the white guy said, if he had stayed conscious he would have been justified in using deadly force against this black guy?

He did not get what he deserved, he was assaulted for no good reason and I hope the guy who hurt him goes to jail for it.

This is exactly why Sharpton and the race baiters have so much power. There’s always ample number of whites who are glad to agree that whites and blacks should be held to different standards.

The guy was clearly looking for a fight and was deliberately provoking a confrontation.

He used "fighting words" to a man on a dinner date on a Friday night, challenging him very publicly.

Now, I have been goaded by drunks in public, in front of my wife, who were trying to fight me - over something as stupid as my wearing the "wrong" sports team's colors.

I don't give in to anger, but on one occasion I am sure that any witness would have backed me had I responded with violence.

You don't hit someone over words, but you also don't use words to deliberately provoke violence either.

You are correct. Assault and battery is a criminal response to a verbal insult. It is not justified.

If the white guy had said I have a gun and I am going to blow you away, that would be assault. You don't have to touch someone to commit an assault.

The statement the white guy made broke no law.
