I guess the media has people pointing the finger now, it was blacks, it was whites, see see.

Pathetic.

Brawls happen in all major cities every day of the week. Would it be better if no one said anything about them and people just got away with the assaults? Or is it better the news covers them and then people call in to report who those people are that assaulted others?

Kicking someone in the head when they are down on the ground is cowardly, and I hope the fine people of NY can identify these punks.

"alcohol"? I did ctrl-F and it disappointed me that the word was not found so I had to waste an additional 10 seconds to read the article.

"If a bunch of drunk black men in matching colors were brawling in the street they'd call in the National Guard. When a bunch of white men do it they call it St. Patricks Day"

Something I saw on Facebook.

Big difference between a brawl on the sidewalk and a beat down involving teens with gang ties in a private business which left one girl hurt.

Personally though since the girl didn't want to press charges it's ridiculous charges were filed by the state. If there is no victim there is no crime. Let things go.

I haven't heard of the NG being called out for quite a long time, so I congratulate drunken black men for not getting into brawls, or for not letting the media get hold of brawl videos

This is exactly the point I was trying to make. Storm front types love it when it's Blacks, but hate when the same behavior is discussed about them. Wonder why that is? Well it's time we talk about it ALL!!!
