"Product of his environment", lacking in genetics and a violent individual to boot.

He cannot be changed.

I vote for systematic removal through lethal injection.

Any organs that have not been damaged through drug abuse should be recycled into those who value life.

The guy at the door is close to the same size.

I am 6'4" and around 280, and if that guy weighs as much as me, he is even more of a fat-ass than I consider myself to be....and I'm not a huge fat-ass, just big.
No way he's close to 300....now the guy at the counter I mentioned might be.
Plenty of beef in there to stop that idiot. All it would have taken was some balls.

What I am is someone a bit more mature than you who understands that some things are funny and some things are not. This is not. I wonder how funny you'd think it was if you were the guy getting beat.
lol- I figure I'll let you in on a little secret. I'm f'ing with you. And you're posting all this stuff in your defense.
Great job, I hope it made your night.
I am not defending myself against anyone, least of all a little prick like yourself. Perhpas the time will come when you'll mature a bit (doubtful, but you never know), and you'll realize what is funny and what isn't.

I can understand the freeze-up. The trouble is, you never really know who is with who in a deal like this. You might think, "this guy is alone in here except for his girl", and then get a shiv in your kidney for stepping in.
I stood up for a stranger when I was young, and thought I knew who all the players were.
it was a sickening feeling to see the very edge of a fist coming up from the left corner of my view, and then hitting the pavement. It was a total sucker punch from someone I did not know was involved.

Great idea. Call a white guy an ignorant racist for making naughty statements about white people. Just do me a favor and say it with a lisp next time.

You know the political correctness movement has gone too far when you have white people calling other white people racists for making fun of white people.

Say it with a lisp, as in you're implying I'm homosexual?

Is it me or does every guy on Anandtech claim to be over 6'4 250 lbs?

Actually looking back at the video, I think you're right. I'd probably put the guy at 265. The guy behind the guy getting railed at 220ish, and the big guy at the counter at least 285. Between the two guys not involved, they should've been able to detain the assailant.

That's because the Police aren't allowed to just beat the shlt out of someone until they comply. They have rules and guidelines to follow.
If they could just pull out their sticks and start frailing, the struggles wouldn't last too long..
Plus, the people who are resisting the police are crazy, usually drugged-up idiots to start with....they can take more of a beating and still keep fighting.
Remember Rodney King? How many times was he shocked and still kept getting up?

You must be a little guy. The guy was fairly husky, but not huge. He was fat, but not a massive athlete-type.
I agree about not taking a beating for a stranger, but keeping a fellow citizen from possibly being critically injured or even killed is different.

The coward sucker punched the guy, and it's pretty obvious that he was pretty much out at that point. You can't even defend yourself.
Two of those people could have easily taken that idiot down and held him until the cops came.
Hopefully his scumbag girlfriend gets some time, too.
The guy got 4 years, plus whatever he gets for violating his probation.

I'm 5'11" 178 pounds, more average than little. If I was in that situation as a bystander I honestly don't know what I would've done. I would like to say I would've helped out but I don't know if I really would. Now, if I felt like it got to a point where his life was in danger I probably would've jumped in.

Is it just me, or are there two or three rather large guys just watching. The guy on the right, in the blue shirt, who looks like he's at the front of the line is a big guy, maybe a little young, but he's big. Also, the guy shown behind Jones, in the white shirt is taller and pretty thick himself.

I understand some people freezing up, as they did, but I'm still highly disappointed a few of these guys didn't stop this. Jones wasn't going to take on everyone, at least he couldn't.

Also, they said he'll get 4 years plus extended time because he was on probabtion.

No one "froze up". Look at their faces, not one of them is scared. Theyre just watching. I would have done the exact same thing. Because they all KNOW this isnt their fight, and the guy isnt going to go around and start beating on all of them in turn. I bet this isnt the first time they've all seen something like this, hell I sure havent.

All you damn suburban and country kids need a lesson in city life. You can act all mighty in person, or over the keyboard, but if anyone touched him, he would have wailed on your face just like the rest of them. I doubt any of them even knew there was a camera in the room, which is even yet another reason not to get involved.

Everyone in there just wanted some damn pizza. No one wanted a beating. If you would have jumped on the guy, thats your prerogative, but dont berate anyone else or act all high and mighty. Not a single one of them did anything to start it, no one knew anyone there, sh*tty situation, but if its anyones fault, its the black guys. Dont lose sight of that and blame the rest of the people.

He got what he deserved, to spend the next 4 years behind bars, although we would probably be doing society a service by locking him up and throwing away the key.

So beating up poor Palestinians qualifies you to be a hardass?

Please refrain from commenting about an issue that you have no fvcking clue about.
I never claimed to be a hardass, what I said was that your an immature prick. Yeah, I still believe that.
