Navy Veteran Get's beaten up for racist Pearl Harbour vandalism.

Do we know that the vandal KNEW the driver was ornamental, or was it just an attack on a Japanese car...a Mitsubishi...the company who made a significant number of the planes that attacked Pearl Harbor?
Whether the guy did or not, you bet your sweet ass his defense lawyer will be arguing exactly that!
 
We call them Chinamen now, BoomerD. Don't be racist :colbert:

Even if they're Japanese or Korean? 😛

The term "oriental" has fallen out of favor...even though they're from the region known as "the orient," so I simply call them "Ornamentals."

No kidding.

I'm still not convinced that this is real. So far, the closest I can find to a news story about it is on Drudge...and it's just a link back to jalopnik.
 
Sorry to get off track,

I wish they would beat the ass of the person that took the smartphone video in the vertical position. Damn it annoys the hell out of me.😡

Pretty sure that's an iPhone thing...but it is annoying as hell
 
Ugh - this is an ugly incident all the way around.

Speaking as a military veteran myself, I don't see the relevance of his military service. I don't think veterans deserve one iota of leniency or sympathy when they have committed crimes, unless they are suffering from PTSD or other combat-induced mental illness. God knows this idiot was not a WWII vet. This is sheer racist stupidity.

I don't support beating the crap out of him for painting a car but I can't fault the owner for doing it (especially if, as he claims, the painter was yelling racial slurs). At least he didn't kill him or inflict a life-threatening injury. The owner and his buddy are acting stupid on that video, but they're obviously pumped up by the situation and I doubt they would be talking that way without adrenaline flowing.

Bottom line: this video reflects poorly on everyone, but I see the Navy vet as the worst offender. There is no question none of this would have happened but for his racism. I appreciate that he is acting sorry, but he's doing it only after intentionally damaging someone else's car and getting a beating.
Thought you were in military justice? How can you condone vigilantism?
 
If it is real... wtf. 70 years ago... the Japanese got their asses kicked and now produce some of the world's most messed up porn.

But I agree with some of the others... the dudes doing the beatdown are going to be in more trouble than the dude doing the spray painting.

seriously derailing this thread, but max hardcore is just as bad as bukakke tentacle porn.

and the japanese didn't make 2g1c either.

As Stimson confided to his diary after a meeting of the war cabinet on November 25, “The question was how we should maneuver them [the Japanese] into firing the first shot without allowing too much danger to ourselves.” After the attack, Stimson confessed that “my first feeling was of relief ... that a crisis had come in a way which would unite all our people.

surprise attack indeed! where's your hate for your own government sacrificing so many men in uniform, boomer? :awe:
 
Everyone loses here. Obviously the guy who painted the car is in the wrong, but the jackass making death threats on him is worse. Vandalizing a car is a lot less severe than physically assaulting someone.
 
Why stop at Japanese cars? Let smash BMWs and Fiats too, right?

What Japaneses, Germans, and Italians did in WWII have NOTHING to do with current generation. Some people are so stupid.

LOL at "you're going to jail" comment. He beats up some old guy, 2 on 1, then tapes it while admitting to it, THEN uploads it to youtube.

I predict the old man gets a fine and the dumb evo owning prick gets jail time. :thumbsup:

Won't happen. White Guy vs Minorities. White guy will loose out every time now.
His only chance for recourse is to admit he's gay, that way the "lovely human" comments would escalate the assault as a hate crime too.

Both parties in this case are wrong. While the guy spray painting someones car is a dick move, the Asian American Pacific Islanders are bigger dumb asses for filming themselves beating someone up.

Bullshit, they would have done it regaqrdless of him using racial slurs. I notice how you avoid that they were calling him a lovely human. Or do you hate gays? How is the Navy guy who doesn't resort to violence, the worse offender? They are all equally biggotted, but the Asian American Pacific Islanders resorted to violence.
 
According to some, the Car Owner would have been justified in pulling out his Nine and putting a Cap in his ass.

So true, yet at the same time I've love to smash the shit out of those idiots who took the video. It'd be so painfully easy too. And I'd do it without saying so much as a word.

Don't fuck with people's property and you won't get fucked up.
