I’m not so sure that “mouthing off” justifies a brutal, fatal beating by a group of 8 thugs. Serbian or otherwise. Another life wasted. We don’t know every detail about the victim, and regardless of skin color, this is pretty barbaric. It is not safe to go anywhere in Europe or surrounding countries. Maybe exception would be Poland.

it has never failed to astound me how many times throughout my sons life that he has been attacked or abused because of his skin color.... White men can be asses too.

Why blame whites for that? Don't you think much of the blame is due to the violent behavior of young black men.

You can get killed in a bar fight at home. It was not justified of course but this kind of thing happens all the time all over the world.

certainly - there is nothing that justifies a murder. What I am saying is that some of these liquors found in foreign countries are potent and could cause you to say or do things which offend another of a different culture causing a violent reaction.

Often a woman is involved.

I am not trying to excuse the perps only say things “over there” are difficult to understand “over here.”

Judging from the pictures I found on the net, my guess is that he was probably hitting on a white woman, which doesn’t go over so well in other places.

I've been all over the world and young black men who dress nice and have a good physique have no problem scoring white girls in the tourist clubs.

Strangely enough though, it's the prostitutes that are most likely to discriminate against them.

“I’m not so sure that “mouthing off” justifies a brutal, fatal beating by a group of 8 thugs. Serbian or otherwise.”

I’m certainly not justifying the killing of him, but I would wager that if he ‘teased’ them about Kosovo, which had us bombing CIVILIAN TARGETS in Belgrade (war crimes, by the way), I could understand Serbs not being too thrilled with his words.

But we’ll likely never know what set them off.

“I would wager that if he ‘teased’ them about Kosovo,”

You ought to write for CNN or the NY TIMES.

You ought to research what we did there...instead of BELIEVE the NY Times or CNN.

You make up flimsy crap out of your own mind on the same level as CNN and the NY TIMES.

I bet you also support going to war over Syria without ever questioning whether you’re being played.

AMAZING how the media can influence people, people who are on our side. Just AMAZING. I’ve seen it before, with relatives, they would ‘claim’ to be all conservative and such, but then simply SPOUT OUT left-wing talking points.

They simply would not bother trying to find out a few things on their own...they just spouted out talking points.

Your lame, completely cockeyed fairy tale that he teased them about Soros’ Kosovo war was pathetic.

College kids today haven’t even heard of that.

You have gotten worse from there. Give it up.

READ MY POST, airhead. I didn’t say he teased anyone.

I only stated that IF* he had teased them about Kosovo, their reaction would have been understandable, considering the crimes committed by our side.

*DEFINITION of “IF”

Introducing a conditional clause.
synonyms: on (the) condition that, provided (that), providing (that), presuming (that), supposing (that), assuming (that), as long as, given that, in the event that
“if the rain holds out, we can walk”

Ok, I’ll tone it down. I’ve seen enough of your posts to know you’re a good guy here. As it is, I did a bit of researching on the killing - looks like he got into a fight in the bar with one other - they were bounced and took their fight outside...and then the Serb had friends.

I couldn’t figure out what triggered the fight, but you’re right in that this guy doesn’t look like the kind of dude that would have any clue about Kosovo...so likely something else - one area of speculation is that he looked like an African ‘refugee’ which is probably not a very good thing to look like there.

Hopefully we find out what really happened.

That I agree with, OBVIOUSLY!

Apparently some brass knuckles didn’t help his situation either (i.e., the Serbs had them)...bad bunch for a fight.
