I don't understand why this is even a big deal. Is it because it was a Goldman Sach's big wig, because it had racial components? Why is this fight with a drunk that got physical any different than the probable hundreds of similar fights that took place all across the country this weekend?

Didn't you guys watch the Jersey Shore? Drunk guy acts stupid = gets punched is nothing exceptional in this country. Not saying it's right, just don't get why this one is being plucked out as a sensation.

I;m Black by the way and sick of so many black people reacting this way to a certain word which really means they allow white people to control their actions.

Seems like the guy might have a substance abuse problem.
The puncher was arrested and charged with assault.

I never saw the point in fighting a drunk no matter what they are saying because they are.........DRUNK lol


So the black guy in this case should have just called the police or had security escort him away
