But me? I'm going to say this. I can't make a honest assumption seeing only part of the video. How do we know the white women didn't make racist comments or even did something physical to these people?

Does it make the black people racist? No. Does it mean they might not be able to handle there anger? Sure

I just get tired of videos only showing half of the story. I would really hope a white a woman would not get attacked for simply walking into a store.
I go past this gas station on my way to work every day. Trust me - a white person would have to be completely suicidal to call anyone the N word in this neighborhood or totally out of their mind. This area is hard core ghetto. This white girl probably has a boyfriend or other friends in the area. This is not a gas station where a random white women would go to. This is a very rough neighborhood. I wouldn't walk this neighborhood late at night by myself if you gave me 10 grand in cash. It is frickin crazy. It is not uncommon to see hookers walking the street at 5am and giving you the eye and saying "Hey Baby" or thug kids 15 or 16 walking the streets with the hookers at 5 am. The stuff I see in the neighborhood is nuts. Chances are this girl isn't all that innocent, she is probably hooked up with all the bulls@@t going on in around that gas station.

Pretty graphic video of the assault. Not for those with sensitive compositions!

The country and many of the people in it are sick. The man keeps saying "wrong 'hood"...Well, apparently we are talking about the "hood" where guys walk around with their pants down to their knees. I often feel sorry for the police officers who have to patrol in these "hoods"....

I don't see how we can make many conclusions about the situation since we have no idea what prompted it.

Of course, it's wrong as can be. But what led up to it?

When I see something like this, I grow weary of the racial aspect. It goes deeper than that - it's about humans acting like the idiots in general they are. We can categorize such attacks into anything we want, but at the end of the day, it's one human being acting like an a$$hole towards another, regardless of the reason.

Violence against all genders, races and cultures makes me sick. I don't see what gender has to do with anything. It makes me sick to see anyone hit anyone period.

What does it matter?

Could you describe a situation that would warrant a woman being justifiably beaten by men?

There is nothing she could say that would legally or morally justify a beatdown by some thugs on a woman.

Yeah, because if she did say something offensive then stomping her head, even killing her, would be justified, right?

I agree with this. I hope they put these thugs in Prison for assault. I also agree with the previous poster who questions what the woman was doing in that neighborhood. His suggestion that she is wrapped up in the criminal activity of the area is likely the truth. Still she did not deserve to get the beating she did.
