Question about Michael Brown leads to beating
CNN ^ | 3/29/15 | Ben Brumfield

Posted on 03/29/2015 9:56:11 AM PDT by ek_hornbeck

When one man sat down next to a second man in a St. Louis light rail car and asked him his opinion on the shooting of Michael Brown, it was not the beginning of a discussion.

It was the start of an assault, police said.

The second man, who was white, didn't want to answer the question. Then the first man, who was black, boxed him in the face. Two more African-American men joined in the beating, according to a police report about Monday's incident.

It was caught on surveillance cameras on the MetroLink train and a passenger recorded it with a cell phone and posted the video online. It has gone viral.

Police confirmed to CNN that the online images came from the attack.

This is why they hate cars. They want all white folks forced into buses and trains to help our diversity exposure.

“Question about Michael Brown leads to beating”

Are you sure this didn’t happen in a Starbucks?

Wouldn’t it be refreshing if Sharpton, Jackson, et al, came out and said: “People! We have a problem and we have no one to blame but ourselves. So let’s quit playing the ‘I’m-a-victim’ card, bear down and show some respect for ourselves by cleaning our own house from the inside before we start blaming everyone on the outside.”

Never gonna happen...

It is said blacks wanted their “Rights,” and that they got their “Rights.” Is the conduct described in the article an example as to how they going to use those “Rights?” If so, maybe we should reconsider their “Rights?”

Maybe he’s a Starbucks barista and is upset they stopped the “race” promotion?

Here in the NYC metro area we learned the lesson in black bigotry decades ago, when some imported Jamaican shot up white people on the Long Island Railroad and another black guy killed white people in a store because they were “white interlopers”.

I guess the rest of the country is catching up.

Sometime ago a FReeper said that there will be a black Hitler someday. I’ve come to believe he’s right. Eric Holder might have fit the bill if he had an ounce of charisma. Sooner or later someone will find a way to capitalize on black malevolence, and white leftist collaboration.

"I think it was disgusting that people were sort of laughing and smiling about it," the victim said. "And no one offered to help. No one seemed to call 911."

Not just a couple bad apples.

More than just a charismatic leader and a hostile constituency is needed to pull this off. You also need a certain amount of self-discipline, sacrifice, and organization among the rank and file (as Hitler had). Elijah Muhammed, Malcolm X, and Louis Farrakhan all tried to be something along the lines of what you describe, but failed because even though they had the leadership and the core hostility, they didn't have the organization or the discipline.

“If there is a public conveyance where you cannot carry a weapon, you should not be there if you are white.”

Put it right back on the Left, ban light rail. Second suggestion, white people can only travel certain hours of the day.

Seems to be increasingly the case, and keep in mind that the media tries to keep stories like this under wraps (whereas every possible case of black on white crime, however dubious, gets shouted from the rooftops).

“And blacks can’t figure out why whites tend to avoid them.”

Do you really believe that? Of course they know why whites (and every other “color”) avoids them. When given the chance, they themselves don’t want to be around blacks. I work with some educated, middle class black professionals; they live in primarily white neighborhoods, commute to work in their own cars, and are terrified of urban blacks.

...the white victim was really the perpetrator here. By refusing to agree to his assailant's point of view about Michael Brown, he was oppressing them and guilty of a hate crime. Those who beat him were just exercising their right to racial-justice against an oppressor.

You are correct. I live in an insane society.

Why would you ask a complete stranger about an incendiary topic? No good is coming from that.

CNN caused this racial attack by perpetrating lies and wanting Ferguson burned down.

This is an out and out race hate crime. Where is Eric Holder?
