There was an attack in St. Louis on a metrolink passenger after he refused to let another passenger use his cell phone.

http://www.kmov.com/story/28632070/cell-phone-video-captures-assault-on-metrolink

According to the 43-year-old victim, a man in his early 20's asked to use his cell phone. When the victim declined to let the suspect use his cell phone, the suspect sat next to him and asked what he thought about the “Mike Brown situation.” When the victim responded that he had not thought much about it, the suspect began punching him in the face, according to the police report.

I don't have one is what I would have answered.

TechBoy, are you going to let Rudeboy slap you around like that?

You shouldn't just ignore stuff like this.

true. what kind of pussy lets RG slap them around like that? how sad.

though i hear getting slapped around by RG is good. I hear he has soft hands but a firm grip.

not sure what they mean by that though.

:confused:

tbh that's pretty much the same thing

i would have said "it's a terrible situation". people usually interpret that to mean what they want it to.

then i would have pretended to get a phone call.

And when you pick it up, you say; "Hey hon, you're going to have to speak up, I have this asshole near me who won't leave me alone. He reminds me of your uncle, you know, the one that got knocked out when he asked a random stranger to use his phone and was then dragged to an underground lair where he was sodomized and tortured for a week before he was chopped up and fed to the pigs we have in our back yard."

Not having watched the video I'm willing to posit that it is entirely driven by black racism and is indeed a brutal beating. That granted, I'm not seeing the point of the thread. I don't think anyone is going to argue that the black men had any right to attack the victim, or that black on white racism doesn't exist, or even that it's rare. I would have no problem had he pulled out a gun and shot them all dead - but since it didn't happen, not much point in debating the ethics of it. And while black on white violence is much more common than the reverse, it's less common than white on white violence or black on black violence, so I don't think one can make the case that it's a significant societal problem beyond the violence and lawlessness in and of themselves.

So . . . Not trying to thread crap or attack the OP, but where we going with this?

Meanwhile, white cops beat the shit out of a black college student (On camera!) for having fake ID and nobody posts about it on P&N :colbert: Seems like a cultural thing at this point. People are pissed off about this stuff and now, random white people are getting ass kickings for shit they aren't involved with.

And why do you guys pick and choose what gets posted in P&N? Its a theme that I'm noticing. You post stories of cops shooting questionable black kids...but don't really post the stories of the cops shooting black kids that don't have some sort of negative backstory (and if it is posted, some people go out of their way to dig up something negative or to assume something negative). Most of the news here is overwhelmingly about 1) Obummer 2)Republicans/Democrats doing/not doing something 3)Black people

Yall also don't post about white crimes here. Unless its a story about a crazy white guy crashing a plane with 150 people on board, nobody cares.

I demand more, goddamnit.
