I don't know of anyone who "supports this kind of thing" other than the predators participating and their idiot friends.

The most pathetic thing I noticed in the video linked in the OP (aside from the assault) was that not one single black person went to the aid of the older black victim, they just went about their way. A younger white girl/woman was the one to bend over him to see if he was ok and call for help. She was all alone from what could be seen on the video. That I think is a very sad statement for our society: that only one person in a crowd of commuters was willing to offer assistance.

I blame social injustice and Republicans. If we had more rec centers and threw more money into our failing schools, stuff like this wouldn't happen.

It's a very bad statement for our society. All but that one woman offering help to the old man must have escaped from the zoo.

I won't bother clicking on the OP's video, as they are all the same racially charged, black on white (or black on black) trolling threads that have no business in this forum
What's racially charged about it? A young black guy punches out a black homeless guy who was being annoying, mostly black crowd laughs and ignores the homeless guy after he is laid out and a sole white woman comes to his aid.

Some people just don't want to come to grips with facts.

Yup that's what I took from the video. The actual punching at this point is not particularly shocking. I guess I'm in the minority but I feel this should be in P&OC forum for the simple reason that folks just stepped over the guy and refused to administer aid and in fact laughed about it.

Yes and don't forget swimming pools. If only these kids could swim then maybe they would have some semblance of humanity.

what i think is not important. but the responses of "no big deal" on the thread are numbing. when the community feels there is a problem with "knockout king", it will get better and not b4. jessie jackson is right, 50 years ago AA would never had allowed this to happen. the young man would have never left the platform in one piece. only non coward in the station was that old lady kneeling to help, the brave one.
the sky is cryin

Money and swimming pools fix education too. Just look at the failed Kansas City experiment. I find it amazing that people still blame lack of money on our school system failures. As you sarcastically point out, money doesn't fix all societal problems. Problems like the one in this thread need to be addressed, and real solutions need to be put in place.

Much credit for wasted money on such projects deserves to be given to CBC member Rep. Emanuel Cleaver.

White people don't do this stuff at the proportion Blacks do. This kind of stuff is an almost common occurrence in the Black community.

And if Whites do it, it'll be on the news for months. When Blacks do it, it's considered typical and usually ignored.
