"Cold-hearted bystanders jeered and laughed at an unconscious tourist lying
at their feet after a vicious beating in Cincinnati, a video showed.


“Damn, n---a, you just got knocked the f--k out!” shouted one of the callous
witnesses.


The man’s face was covered in blood as he lay motionless late Saturday in
the city’s Fountain Square neighborhood.


The tourist, identified as 27-year-old Christopher McKnight of Indiana, was
jumped by a crowd of black teens as Fourth of July crowds spilled into the
square from a hip-hop concert, fireworks show and a nearby Reds baseball game,
authorities said."
Christopher McKnight is White.

He might have thrown away his self defense case when he went back to challenge them again. Legally it might have turned the whole incident into a 'mutual combat' situation.

huh? where are you getting this?

A police captain originally described the attack on the man as an “anti-white” crime, but police brass backpedaled on Monday, claiming it wasn’t clear if it was racially motivated, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported.

The disturbing footage shows a jeering crowd mocking McKnight following the assault.

“You got knocked the f--k out, b---h,” called one of the bystanders.

What is the point of this? Really, all I got out of this is a man was beaten by some obnoxious teenagers and the police have no idea why.

Nothing about this is information anyone really needs to know since we literally can't learn anything from this.

My dream is to have the thugs pick on a suicide bomber who blows them up into little pieces of the trash they are.

good point. let's shove it under the rug and pretend it didn't happen.

From the video. He walks way, and then returns to challenge them, and then he ends up with a broken nose. That's what it looks like on the video.

What the crowd says is unfortunate, but irrelevant from the legal point of view.

He was attacked, that is certain, so maybe the law is on his side even if he went back for more. The initial attack is a crime, even if the latter part is mutual combat.

you must be watching an entirely different video than I am. at what timestamps does he 'challenge' the mob not once, but twice?

Classic.

Another example of white oppression in the black community.
