Apparently was saying that n*****s were responsible for him losing his job, some guy thought it was prudent to hit him and thus did so, got punched in the face, is knocked out and smashes head on concrete. Guy who assaults him runs off, but since his girlfriend was still behind, the police catch up to him.

This is yet another example of a person in critical condition from a single punch to head, there was another last week with some son who hit his father in a parking lot, father went down, head + concrete = critical condition.

SHHHHHHHHHHH, your logic is getting in the way of all the emotion.

Massively intoxicated man in critical condition after provoking a fight by screaming racial slurs in the face of a person who was trying to help him.

Hitting someone is never okay, and the guy who assaulted him should most certainly have been arrested. I hope he recovers and is just fine, but getting punched in the face is a pretty foreseeable outcome from his actions.

Foreseeable? No. In a civil society you should never expect to be assaulted. You could say racial slurs at me all day long and I wouldnt hit you. Its because im civilized. Obviously there are others who have no self control and shoukd be removed from society.

Not foreseeable? You mean that if you ran up to someone screaming racial slurs in their face and were punched for it you would be baffled by this outcome?

Pardon me if I'm just a little skeptical.

I suppose, if the person you are talking to is a loose cannon or a juvenile delinquent.

I guess the world is just filled with loose cannons and juvenile delinquents then. Since apparently several people here are utterly mystified by the fact that screaming racial slurs in someone's face could very well lead to you being punched, I highly encourage any of you to come down to the village on a Friday or Saturday and start screaming slurs in people's faces.

Think of it as an educational experience! (be sure to wear a helmet so you don't end up like that guy though. Safety first!)

Yes there is a difference between how society should act and the reality of our society.

No one should be assaulted for saying something, but that's not reailty.

I acknowledge that it is. Do you watch TV?

You seem to be confusing common or popular with right.

It might be common than someone would assault a person using a slur against them. It is not right.

Exactly, which is what I said in my first post. I'm glad the guy who punched him got arrested, and he should be charged with assault. Anyone who can't see that the Goldman douche's actions lead to a high likelihood of being assaulted is pretty obtuse.

However I'm sure your smart enough about the reality of our society to know if you go around drunk hollering racial slurs it may just get you socked.

Did you even read my posts in this thread? If you did there is no way I can think of where you would come to the conclusion that I was confusing popular with right.

Lithium apparently believes that this behavior is not common, and so he said that there was no way the Goldman guy should have foreseen the possibility of getting socked for his behavior. That was dumb.

So you mean that some people might goad others into committing a crime?

It seems like that was a lesson that was taught to a few generations. I wonder why it was stopped...

"helping him" isn't really very accurate. If somebody stumbles onto my table I am "helping" them by getting them to piss off, but it's hardly helping them out like hey buddy let me call you a cab and get you all squared away.

I agree screaming at somebody racial slurs may result in getting hit, because I know a lot of people lack control and act inappropriately (which is also why assaulting them is illegal).

Why is victim blaming okay when the victim is a man?

Total shocker that you would try to find a way to turn a thread into something where you can indulge your pathological hatred of women. How's your girlfriend?

If a woman had engaged in identical behavior I would have said the exact same thing.

Like punching a guy in the face and assaulting him and not "foreseeing" getting shot???

Not justifying what the guy said but the guy who punched the victim escalated the situation into a physical confrontation.
