Man, 18, charged for 'unprovoked' assault of Macy's manager in viral video
Fox News ^ | 27 June 2020

Michigan authorities have charged an 18-year-old black man for the “unprovoked,” caught-on-video assault of a white Macy’s manager, officials said. Damire Palmer, of Mount Morris Township, faces one count of felony assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder for the June 26 attack on the employee inside the Flint department store. Palmer is still in the wind.

“This was an unprovoked attack on a Macy’s employee,” said Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton in a statement. “This behavior as seen on the video is unacceptable, it is criminal, and it cannot be allowed.” Contrary to initial claims, police and prosecutors didn’t uncover any evidence that Palmer assaulted the staffer after he’d allegedly used the N-word, officials said.

“We don’t believe any racial slur was made by the store manager,” Leyton said. In surveillance video that prosecutors obtained from Macy’s, Palmer walks around the store then approaches the manager from behind and clocks him in the head, knocking him to the floor, officials said.

Oh how I wish someone in that store was armed and acted to bring down the savage.

Shouldn’t the brother who recorded it also be charged? I fell like if the races were switched they would have gone after him harder. Why isn’t this a hate crime? Who will march for the man who was assaulted because of the color of his skin?

Even if he HAD made a racial slur, he should have been charged.

According to the headline the assault was unprovoked. Had it been provoked by a word,would the MSM have approved?

stinkerpot65 @8: "The corrupt press has covered it up."

More than corrupt, the fifth-column leftist media (ABCCBSCNNMSNBCNPRNYTPBSWP) have and continue to give aid and comfort to the domestic terrorist, insurrectionist enemies of the United States. The Constitution has a word for that.

Why isn’t this a hate crime?

Because "hate" isn't a crime. It's sometimes the motive for a crime.

You are correct. It was a black man stabbing everyone. Media doesn't care.

Why don’t they post that graduation picture of him smiling. And the caption underneath saying something like... He was preparing to start college in the fall to put his life back together. ...of course he wanted to beat the crap out of one more whitie before turning his life around.

Macy’s is in trouble and I read yesterday that they’re closing more stores permanently.

Has the 18-year old perp been bailed out by celebrity money yet?

If someone in that store had a firearm you can bet all of Macy’s upper management would be all over the firearm owner ...

If the races were switch, this would be 24/7 international news for weeks on end - like the Bubba Wallace fake rope hoax where 15 FBI agents were sent in to investigate or the woman who didn’t want to leash her dog after being told to do so by a black man.

Whites getting beat up, assaulted, robbed at gunpoint and even murdered isn’t news according to the msm.

Just ask Colin Flaherty.

If someone in that store had had a firearm, it would be international news, the FBI and DOJ would be investigating and the “perp” would be rotting in jail - with no celebrities to go to bat for him in the highest offices, bail him out of jail and hire top-notch lawyers to defend him.
