I guess it will all come out when they both go to court.

Fox played the full video.. A peaceful Tea party Protest of government bailouts when the black suspect stops his car and starts ranting getting into the faces of the protesters. This one guy (victim) turns on his camera after the black suspect gets into his face and his wife’s face.

It's not clear but it's not too hard to understand that the black suspect made contact with the victims wife and that’s when the victim pushed the suspect away warning him not to push his wife. Black suspect sucker punches his victim and then continues to justify himself to the crowd who have all responded in defense of the victim who was clearly sucker punched. Calls for police were yelled and just prior to Police arriving the black suspect entered his vehicle and fled.

Police reviewed incident video tapes and brought charges against the black suspect and only after this did the judge decide the drop the charges and have both parties summonsed for assault... I belive the judge did NOT review the tapes.

Spencer led the Greensboro K-Mart protests of 1995 and mobilized families, communities, and “the Pulpit Forum of Greensboro, a coalition of progressive clergy, to commit acts of civil disobedience.”

The video only showed Mr. Tabor getting hit. Anything else is pure speculation. Spencer has no eyewitness to back up his story. He could say anything he wanted. Spencer is lucky he didn't get shot in self-defense.

From the fox news propaganda edit. Look at the numerous posts already on this. The teabagger took a swing first and the guy retaliated back.

The post/video seems to be deleted from the right leaning mods here on the forum
Though on that video OP posted if you watch closely, he takes two swings first at the guy in the black shirt who swings back.
