Your last statement says everything I need to know about your perspective, "..he is inviting such a situation." Again, you blame the victim. This is the same antiquated viewpoint that says a woman who dresses provocatively, invites a rape. You are still putting all the burden on the victim to "prevent" the attack. It is not his fault.
BTW, it is not against the law to wear headphones in this country. That is not why he was attacked. He was attacked because of the depraved criminality of these two black tugs, the one attacking and his back-up.
before I depart, I would like to say that you are so right.
You should show your solidaritie' by going out tonight to the nearest Mikky D's on MLK blvd, with your head phones on, beebopping to the music in your head.
That hair you have up your rear end must be quite uncomfortable.
I am a proud American who happens to be black. This disgusting behavior on behalf of the perps makes me ashamed to be black. I’d like to throttle the moron and tell him to take his head out of his backside. Sadly, there is indeed a sense of entitlement within large (but not all) segments of the black community that gives them the idea that they can perform such acts with impunity. Unfortunately, with our milquetoast legal system, it is important for civilized community members to be prepared to address such criminal activity on their own.
