The belief on the Left, I guess, is that you’re just supposed to ‘take your beating.’

[PIF]

The brass bull, as used in Mithras rituals, had the sacrifice placed inside naked. A large fire was kindled under the bull’s belly and, as the crowd in the stadiums cheered, the bellows from the bull’s throat could be heard and the steam from the nostrils could be seen by all. Slow roasted ...

[Jim Noble]

So how was the truck driver racist?

You are giving up everything with your question.

Suppose the truck driver was racist? Suppose he was the WORST RACIST EVER in the history of the United States of America?

Would that make what happened to him OK? Would that excuse his murder, since the assault on video was fully capable of killing him?

"Racist" is a term without fixed meaning which can be used at any time by any revolutionary to apply to anyone, including you.

Once you frame your response to a murderous assault as "but you didn't prove he was racist" you grant these revolutionaries the right to kill anyone of their choosing once they believe, morally, that the victim was "racist".

[PGR88]

I had heard somewhere the victim died. Obviously that was wrong. Its good to see he’s alive and not in a hospital bed.

[Reily]

Never heard of such rites for Mithraism. There is a bull involved but it is the sacrifice not a person. I think you’re confusing Mithraism with this.

He sure does, but most often, the ones most deserving don’t get it. See Eric Clanton (bike lock ‘professor’).

Goodness! He looks awful, but he’s alive. Praise God! That video of him getting kicked was awful.

[definitelynotaliberal]

Dunno his politics, but he has a picture on his FB saying that he’d sooner eat gas station sushi than vote Biden.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Authorities need to leave it to 4chan to find him.

Yes I think not enough coffee. But not the medieval device, but rather the Greek invention in the rein of Phalaris, the despot of Acragas (570 to 554 BC); story follows:

Phalaris, the despot of Acragas (modern Agrigento in Sicily), was a heartless, sadistic tyrant renowned for his imprudent cruelty; his alleged atrocities include “devouring” infants. One day, Perillos of Athens told Phalaris of his newest invention, a torture and execution device that would strike fear into the hearts of his enemies: The Brazen Bull.

The Brazen Bull was a device with a simple concept but a downright diabolical execution. Made entirely from bronze, it was the same shape and size as an actual bull, and housed a hollow chamber in its body. The poor person set to be executed by the bull was locked inside of this chamber, then a fire pit was set under it, heating the belly of the beast until the victim inside roasted to death.

“A countryman of my own, one Perilaus [another rendering of Perillos], an admirable artist, but a man of evil disposition, had so far mistaken my character as to think that he could win my regard by the invention of a new form of torture; the love of torture, he thought, was my ruling passion… He opened the back of the animal, and continued: “When you are minded to punish anyone, shut him up in this receptacle, apply these pipes to the nostrils of the bull, and order a fire to be kindled beneath. The occupant will shriek and roar in unremitting agony; and his cries will come to you through the pipes as the tenderest, most pathetic, most melodious of bellowings. Your victim will be punished, and you will enjoy the music.”

As if the Brazen Bull wasn’t brutal enough, it was designed to channel the victim’s screams through a series of pipes and out of a set of holes on the bulls face. This gruesome acoustic apparatus transformed the desperate screams so that they sounded like a bull’s angry bellowing.

Reportedly, Perillos told Phalaris “His screams will come to you through the pipes as the tenderest, most pathetic, most melodious of bellowings.” Appalled by these words, the tyrant ordered the acoustic system to be tested on the creator himself and pushed Perillos inside the bull. The doomed craftsman was locked inside and the fire was set, and soon Phalaris could hear the sound of his screams. Before Perillos could die, the tyrant opened the locked door and took him away. Perillos thought that he would be rewarded for his evil invention, but instead, Phalaris threw the unfortunate craftsmen from the top of a hill.

In an ironic twist, is said that the tyrant Phalaris himself died in the Brazen Bull when he was overthrown by Telemachus, the ancestor of Theron.

[Reily]

Yeah I know that.
That was way before Mithraism.

[PIF]

I posted that for others, not you. But that’s what I was thinking about.

BTW Mithrais in one form or another goes back the the 15C BC in Persia and India.

[Mr. Jeeves]

They have learned that to cry “Racist!” is in these times a pretty effective “Get out of jail free” card.

[Reily]

Yeah

I used to think it evolved in some way from Zoroastrianism but I no longer think that’s the case.

[Tench_Coxe]

"Might go to jail for murder tonight for a racist"

How does this guy know the person he ambushed is a racist?
No, this is just an excuse. Dude got his jollies nearly killing a man and now doesn't want to face the consequences.

[logi_cal869]

Your sarc tag is missing. jk

Spot-on.

It’s one of the “few” crimes the city is prosecuting, including weapons charges against lawful citizens when they use them to defend themselves against such violence.

[Sans-Culotte]

I'd like to see the "protest warrior" punished the way the Poles punished a traitorous murderer in the film Pan Wolodyjowski - Impaled and then set on fire:

Death of Azya

Trump is good but we need a Pinochet.

[USCG SimTech]

Violent criminals always justify in their own minds the criminality the perpetrated. Then once they reach that point, they try to convince everyone else of their “justified” crimes, relative truth.
