Fury over Cincinnati street brawl as lawmakers demand white man who 'started melee' is prosecuted and make claims of racial 'bias'

Lawmakers in Cincinnati are calling for a white man seen on video slapping a black man before a now viral brawl erupted to face prosecution.

The violent melee that unfolded two weekends ago in the downtown area of the Democrat led city has so far led to the arrest of six individuals.

On Monday night, Ohio State Rep Cecil Thomas led a discussion inside the New Prospect Baptist Church and raised concerns that the man had yet to be arrested.

It appears that Cecil Adams believes that the man who was attacked started it by bashing law abiding citizens using his head. America’s cities would be so wonderful if it weren’t for these bad types, charging into a peaceful crowd listening to a street poetry reading and causing all sorts of trouble.

Arrest him and prosecute him for obstructing a chimp out.

the description is unidentified white man slaps unidentified black man

and the pictures do not show a slap or any sort of assault

so here we go with the big lie to muddy the waters

and get the summer of love going

In a bygone era, when honor meant more than life itself, disputes were often resolved not through words or courts, but through the flash and thunder of a pistol. The practice of dueling, particularly with pistols, became a symbol of status, courage, and the ultimate test of one’s principles.

To be revealed: What was said prior to the slap.

The fighting words doctrine is a legal principle in U.S. law that allows for certain types of speech to be restricted when they are likely to incite immediate violence or provoke a retaliatory response.

SCOTUS 1942 decision, Chaplinsky vs. New Hampshire. defined then as words which “by their very utterance, inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace.”

“”The fighting words doctrine is a legal principle in U.S. law that allows for certain types of speech to be restricted when they are likely to incite immediate violence or provoke a retaliatory response.””

Gee, I wonder if that principle also applies to antifa protestors that are insulting and verbally spitting in the faces of their opposition, including police officers. On second thought... we already know it does not apply to special people. Only whiteys that are in the process of being rail-roaded and blamed for their own beat-down/victimhood.

Due to CRT and other false beliefs there are a tremendous number of black racists who hate whites. I would guess this rep is one. However they deny it even going to fantastic lengths to say such hate is not even “POSSIBLE” as whites control the power structure.

I think a lot of this started with Obama.

No doubt, another heavily edited video that implies it was a racist, unprovoked attack when in reality we don’t know the individual’s histories or what led up to the altercation.

I’d like to know what happened between the two men prior to that.

It's a race war not a "black crime problem".

Most blacks do not commit these crimes, but how many support the war effort?

I have been boycotting majority black enclaves (mainly dim run cities) for decades.

If the white guy was guilty of assault (I saw a video where he slapped first) he should be charged with assault. But he didn’t kick the black in the face while the victim he was on the ground. So one should get probation and the other a year in jail. (based on random videos I saw)

It’s been weeks since this happened and nobody seems to know what happened.

They’re all trying to figure out the best way to make this into a full tilt race war.

Yes, perhaps.

But the victim’s SA in that case was sorely in error.

A person who reacts suicidally to mere words is a dumbass.

I bet a dime to a dollar that the getto rats were cat calling and saying rude things to the pretty white women.
I have been put in a position like that.
It wasn’t easy to walk away. I was sober at the time.
