Prosecutors say a 35-year-old homeless black man held a white man at gunpoint and demanded he apologize “for all the things white people did to black people” in the Seattle area Sunday, August 11.

The victim said he was “scared out of [his] mind” and offered the man — who has now identified as Chikwanha E. Nyashanu — his wallet. But Nyashanu wasn’t interested in the wallet, the victim said. He only wanted the apology.

And he got it. The victim said he “apologized profusely,” at which point the man “pulled the gun away from the victim’s head and walked away,” in the words of KOMO News.
Police: Terrified Man Held at Gunpoint Until He Apologized

Didn't Tarantino just make a movie about this?

It sounds like the homeless man, (how does he afford a gun?), has been brainwashed. To think that some random white stranger can fix hundreds of years of oppression is nuts. We are all free now, and have been for quite some time. Can't wait until they figure that out.

I, for one, applaud the homeless man's free exercise of his second amendment rights. In this culture of demonizing innocent Americans whose only crime is owning a constitutionally-protected firearm it warms every single cockle of my heart that there are some of us out there who still are not afraid to keep and bear arms.

BTW, that oppression isn't something for which whites, alone, are responsible considering the Africans who originally sold them. Even emancipated blacks who decided to return to Africa and "founded" Liberia ended up.....having slaves.

Did the wallet say "BMF" on it?

I'd like the Angles and Saxons to apologize for what they did to my Celtic ancestors.

They would probably expect the same from the Romans, who would expect the same from the Greeks, who probably have a beef with the Egyptians. And even they probably have a beef with someone.

If only it was as simple as an apology from a stranger on the street.

Absolutely agree! There certainly is enough blame to go around, yes?

Yes. This isn't discussed near as much because the Celts didn't remind everyone about it for two or three hundred years.

So when are blacks going to hold other blacks at gunpoint until they apologize for another black commiting a crime?
