Did I interpret that correctly?

That's the way I heard it.

I went to a rally back in 2012 in Boston to listen to Sarah Palin, and I was being provoked by a guy who got in front of me, his face six inches from my own, as he tried to pick a fight with me.

I saw ten or fifteen of his “friends” all recording the “interaction”, and I resolved that until the guy actually made physical contact with me, I was going to ignore him.

Eventually, the people around me (who I didn’t know) began to say to the guy “Just leave him alone. He said he wasn’t interested in talking to you.”

Thankfully. I was legally carrying at the time, and I didn’t want my “fifteen minutes of fame” to involve rolling around on the ground and discharging my firearm in self defense in front of a dozen cameras.

Of course, being on a plane is different. It is harder to just walk away.

LOL. But I am curious as to what was being said.

I think what got me is the Dreadlock Guy saying it was wholly unprovoked. Well.

One can take the stance that no matter what Dreadlock Guy said to the other guy who attacked him, he shoudn’t have, for his own good.

But it wasn’t unprovoked. And Dreadlock Guy just lied outright. And the cops took his word. That is the risk of being the initiator or physical contact. The pussy with the big mouth always seems to skate free in those things, but...Mr. Attacker should have had better self control.

Not saying I would, but...he should have. It isn’t right, but...that’s the way it is.

Interesting witness testimony in that video clip

Interesting that you have to watch the clip to get that level of detail.

And, that it contradicts the title of the story.

Frankly having a CCW and carrying makes one VERY reluctant to rise to the bait and get into an altercation.

15 minutes of fame? More like wall-to-wall coverage for weeks, and years of expensive paperwork!

I thought it was, ‘Snitches Get Stitches’ not, ‘Sharmas Get Stitches?’ LOL!

Just another hot-head, feral, fighting age, male ME import.

Thanks, Brandon! *SPIT*

Yes. And in a Blue State, your fate is pretty much sealed.

There was a guy (Scott Hayes) up here who was standing on a corner in Newton, MA with an Israeli flag and some Leftist jackass ran across the road and tackled him. Straight up. Captured on video by people.

Yet Scott Hayes was arrested and charged. The charges were eventually dropped, and I donated to his defense fund, but it is criminal that he was charged.

Interestingly, my wife and I had been walking through Cambridge, MA (one of the four national points of MoonBattery, Cambridge, Ithaca, Madison, and Berkeley) some months before, and came across an entire section of muslims fence in by the police for protection, and this guy had been standing there with an Israeli flag. He was a veteran, so I shook his hand in thanks, and when I saw this news item some months later, remembered that was the same guy I talked to.

Yep. Damn the Left.

One thing about Muslims... They don’t need any help with alcohol to go nutso. They call this sudden Jihad syndrome. Where a normal peaceful Muslim snaps like a rubber band.

I was informed earlier that he probably is Indian. You know, like a Comanche or Nez Perce.

Could be ... It also seems there’s some possibility that the other fellow was being a particularly egregious jerk.

So all is not necessarily as it seems.

You are correct. This is a Hindu who went nuts
