It couldn’t of been racism though because the lady wasn’t white .

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - A 7-Eleven customer's rant escalated into a violent attack on a man, and the victim's family is now worried, saying they haven't heard from him in nearly a week.

An irate customer at the downtown Los Angeles store along 7th Street on May 1 was yelling at a clerk, prompting Myra Olvera to press record.

Olvera and other customers stayed back near the register and did not intervene.

"I was afraid because we don't know, at this point, if they were going to pull out a gun or a weapon and try to shoot or, you know, stab someone," Olvera said.

The woman began shouting at the man to go back to Mexico.

I wasn't able to view the video. What initially happened to prompt this woman's anger? I see it was right after the May Day March. How did she know if he was an immigrant, an illegal alien or a citizen? Was he speaking exclusively in Spanish? That doesn't necessarily indicate what his status in our country was but being that we have moslty illegal alien Spanish speakers marching in our streets for illegal immigration I can see where it might have struck a nerve though.

Pretty pathetic someone has to say this is the result of "liberal" Los Angeles. Obviously the perpetrator was a Trump supporter.

Maybe instead of using her phone to take a video, she could have used it to call the police?

What kind world we live in when people excuse violence. Just like some defended the man in Charlottesville who mauled 19 people and killed one young woman.

Where did I excuse it? I was merely speculating as to what might have triggered her. It was right after the May Day March.
