Warning: Foul Language and racial slurs
this is ridiculous, cannot believe this is happening in our world. absolutely crazy
Description: Approximately 9 days ago in Baltimore, Maryland an adult male standing on a sidewalk was surrounded by a group of young adult males and females. One guy in a grey beenie starts creeping up to the victim on his right then two guys with white shirts are right next to him on the left. The taller one, Aaron Jacob Parsons reaches into the victim's front right pocket and grabs something before the guy could stop him.

It would be interesting see the punks reaction if he would have been carrying.

He'd have been labeled vigilante, racist, _____ (fill in the blank with any double standard)

 

[ItIsWhatItIs]

Hoping he was inebriated, otherwise he has the reaction time of a rock.

No doubt about that and that is the problem with our society today.

Because he was a ?

I'm so tired of being labeled the "racist race" ..

If I were him I'd be getting the f*** out of there. If they didn't want to let me I'd shoot my way out.

Here's a continuation of the video from across the street. It gets worse.

Worthless pieces of trash.

 

[Booya]

First of all, it really is a shame he wasn't carrying and could have ridded the planet of some of worthless POS's that WILL continue to act this way. Secondly, people wonder why random people go on shooting sprees? This man is very likely psychologically damaged and now a lifelong racist. All due the actions of a few (few being used questionablely). I hope everyone that took part in this gets paid back via karma 10x. Jail alone would not be justice in my eyes.

Where's Al Sharpeton, Jesse Jackson and the NAACP now?

 

[Shift Zombie]

They're too busy making up stories to bother with crystal clear reality. This doesn't really help their rhetoric either.

 

[45calibre]

he is a sheep you can tell when he starts to get surrounded he doesnt do anything.

Born and raised in Detroit, I witnesed that kind of **** going to school each day at age 10. Your right, Mr. Glock would have met Mr. & Ms. Gangsta.

For as much race baiting that the media plays up, looking here, we can be just as bad. A crime was committed by people that check two different boxes during a census. But because of that, race is needlessly injected into the thread. If you keep think that way (ie playing the "victim"), we'll never get over the like of people that will always want us to see a difference between one another.

The only thing that I make note from the vid, is that one is a scumbag, and the other should have been able to protect himself.

 

[Constructionist]

I don't think anyone is baiting here. Not intentionally anyway.

I see a country that has never been more divided, though. No one is just an American anymore. Everyone has a hyphen. Everyone is categorized. Americans who happen to be black are now African-American. Americans who have a Latino heritage are Hispanic-Americans. We have "protected classes" of people, instead of equal protection under the law. We have the most divisive administration, and most divisive mindset as a country, that we've ever had. Political correctness and diversity are destroying the great Melting Pot. Instead of trying to bring us together as a country, there are those who wish to divide and conquer.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all... The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic... There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

I was born in England but consider myself an American of English descent

I'm not British-American or Anglo-American.

 

[redneckmedic]

Does Angry-American count as a legit hyphenated American class? I'll check that box.

I have a friend from Russia and he isn't a Russian-American. I really hate that we aren't just Human Americans, It is a way to separate us to keep us from seeing what is truly happening. Slight of hand tricks at work on 350 Million at once.

So what do you all think was going on the in the victim's mind? Did he (1) just freeze, (2) "zone out" in disbelief or denial that this was really happening to him, (3) figure if he resisted, he'd get a worse beating or (4) something else?

From what I can see in the vids, it looks like No. 2, above. The human mind can be very irrational at times. "Maybe if I ignore this, it'll stop on its own" kind of thing.

I'm interested in opinions on this.
