The usual suspects making Internet Tough Guy posts about how they wish they could kill an "urban youth" and get away with it. Nothing new.
I feel for the guy in this news story here, but that doesn't make the unfortunately all too predictable response from some of the posters in this thread disgusting.
That's not true at all, and you know it. This is about da hood mentality, like they own the streets and this is their territory!
What are you talking about? Of course it's true! Stay away from dangerous places, your wallet is not worth risking your life for,...these are truisms that have been in place since day 1. Before hoodies even. No matter where you are, who you are, or what color anyone is.
I notice they don't show the soldier. I wonder if he is white. If so, this is clearly a case of Stand Your Ground. A white person has no business in a black neighborhood at 3 in the morning. If you see a white guy in a black neighborhood at 3AM, he is there to buy drugs or find a prostitute. I think these 4 young men were only patrolling the streets and stopped and asked this man what the hell he was doing in the hood at 3AM and he got mad and swung first. They only defended themselves from a demented man!
We only have his side of the story. They let him live which is more than what would have happened if one of them had been in a white neighborhood at 3AM.
