A white man was sentenced to probation in South Florida Tuesday for pulling a gun and yelling racial slurs in a traffic confrontation with a [black] teenagers protesting housing inequality on Martin Luther King Jr. Day in 2019.
...Milian ruled that Bartlett did not act reasonably in getting out of his SUV and pulling a pistol on the teenage protesters who had stopped traffic near the Brickell Bridge in downtown Miami. Bartlett had testified that he was...

He deserves a pardon.
If he didn’t have a gun he would have been pummeled to death and the media and the black racists would cheer
This is called lawfare, folks and it is the favorite weapon of the democrat party in this ongoing CWII.
Regards,
Lawfare.
Using the n-word is a hate crime.
How about n calling whites racist?
My white guilt bank account has a zero balance.
This case was nothing like the other cases.
This guy is a hothead, and so is his girlfriend.
The protesters (who look like kids) weren’t surrounding their car or threatening anyone.
They were blocking traffic by riding their bikes. Yes, annoying...
Go ahead and yell at them. Scream at them to move out of the way.
But, this couple took things further. She shoved the kids around, and then he came out with a gun.
That wasn’t self-defense. Another big reason he got into trouble was that he didn’t have a CCW permit, which was required in FL back then (2019).
I get the lack of CCW. No doubt Bartlett screwed up.
There was an illegal blockage of a street. Nothing was done by LEO. *That* was what exacerbated the problem.
White man who pulled gun on Black teens
Well that’s a switch who knew.
“They were blocking traffic by riding their bikes. Yes, annoying...

Which won’t work. And the cops will do nothing.
So of course people will start to take matters into their own hands. Until the cops step up and lock people up who block the roads (which isn’t a lawful protest), stuff like this will keep happening.
Had this happened in New York instead of Florida, this guy would be charged with a hate crime and sentenced to 20 years.
