Local news only?

"I do remember racial slurs being yelled from the crowd."

Hate crime? Where's Jesse and Al?

Mr. Weems picked a fight.

Right or wrong, ignoring reality is just stupid.

[Parley Baer]

I am afraid there are going to be many more attacks like this across the country. Everyone please be aware of your surroundings.

Not a good thing to, to go into a Black area and disagree with the locals on anything. Even if the guy is Black.

He was being beaten by a mob, and had a .45 caliber handgun. There was one way to very quickly stop the beating, why didn’t he do it?

“He said a man waved him over outside the restaurant and told him politely that people were upset by the killing of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and it wasn’t a safe place for whites.”

With that fact, it is indisputable, that this attack was a Hate Crime.

“On the way to Weems’ house, Knighten said, they went into a Huddle House restaurant with a nearly vacant parking lot.

However, he said, they apparently had been followed by more than 20 people.”

//

“Knighten said some people blocked him from leaving with Weems. When he got out, he said, Weems was down and people were kicking him. Knighten said others attacked him, adding “I do remember racial slurs being yelled from the crowd.”

//

“Police did not arrive until after the crowd had left, he said. “

More than 20 people followed him? The ones that participated in the beating should be charged with attempted murder.

A lot of those places have video cameras set up. Everyone of them should be arrested. They followed and assaulted the man.

Pop 11300 -40 per cent white and 57 per cent black. If they were in a car and the sub- humans followed them....yet the pile of turds police chief said there was no evidence of a hate crime.

Someday we might see some white mohammds and malvos. Naahhh, probably not.

They left after an argument that brought police, Knighten said. He said he showed those officers his .45-caliber handgun and his concealed carry permit... That was about 1 a.m., according to police, who did not give either man's name in a press release posted by WCBI-TV...On the way to Weems' house, Knighten said, they went into a Huddle House restaurant with a nearly vacant parking lot...However, he said, they apparently had been followed by more than 20 people...Knighten, who said he had served with the Air Force in Afghanistan, said he came out of the restroom to find Weems surrounded. "I was trying to defuse the situation," he said.

1 AM... 2AM ... a .45 caliber handgun ... the "wrong" neighborhood -- what could possibly go wrong? (I'm only wondering if "alcohol was involved".)

I do have every right to jog through Newark, New Jersey late at night, but my wife should have me committed if I ever expressed my intention to actually try that.

I think the Times-Picayune headline is a bit more descriptive:
“Mississippi man beaten after he’s warned restaurant wasn’t safe for whites, witness says”

Apparently Memphis Commercial Appeal didn’t think it was worth reporting.

[william clark]

But the crowd was unarmed...
