Your failure is explained by the fact that you are trying to use logic as opposed to viewing the video which shows what actually happened.
no it doesn't. it shows him milling around in the crowd with his hands in the air

how does a non-existent counter attack clarify anything?

It depends. How did it start?

You don't know, so you jump into conclusions.

you don't know either, yet you're jumping to the conclusion that it was a fight.

seems odd.

It seems that I saw him surrounded by around 30 people. It looks like 6-7 people were making physical contact with him. If you're being punched/stomped as he was and with such a large group of people mocking/yelling/laughing - it may seem as though you're fighting 10-15 people.

Either way, the animals need to be caged for as long as possible.

Vibrant diversity and multiculturalism in Obama's Post-Racial America.

Let's all sing "We Are The World" and "Kumbaya."

Yeah, there was outrage, that's for sure.

Simple.

If it had been 40 whites attacking and viciously beating a black guy, we'd never hear the end of it.

There would be at least 5 weeks of screaming headlines from all the mainstream newspapers. 24/7 chatter on cable TV. Al Sharpton showing up to organize protests.

40 against 1 is mutual combat?

Don't think so.
