So the real questions to be asked here is:

1) What did America (or this man) do to the juveniles to cause them to behave this way towards him? Isn't it possible they were reacting to historical grievances?

2) Can't we all agree that this is just "what goes around comes around?"


These are just preliminary thoughts. I'm going to go check SJW tumblr blogs and "stay woke" commentators to see what they have to say about this situation. Then i'll be back to refine my position.
Yes, it was a classist crime.

Did FOX News report he was a veteran? Everyone keeps repeating this.

News accounts previously described Barnes as a veteran, but his sister said that was not the case.

I'm not sure what your snarky remark is suppose to mean but:

Homeless veteran dies after beating by teens on camera | abc7news.com

http://stop-hate-crimes.com/2015/11/...-philadelphia/

http://news.yahoo.com/video/homeless...135752726.html

Yes, and Fox news:
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/11/29...ught-on-video/

Personally, it matters not to me whether he was a veteran. The horrific act exposed tells me what violence there is. ALL LIVES MATTER. There is so much violence in the world it becomes useless, doesn't it, to put it in a box and label it one certain thing. Violence is colorblind.

I remember when I lived in denver there was a rash of random beatings. Like 60 in a 2 week span, that's how many were reported but I know for a fact it was in the hundreds jad the police were covering up a lot, where groups of black teens would sneak up on a white person who was alone, usually old and beat them severely than run.
It stopped happening after they chose the wrong guy, they tried to do it to this old man on the bus that was a Vietnam vet. He had a cheap $20 mp3 player and they snatched it from him without saying anything than started beating him like they were trying to kill him for no reason, he pulled out a switchblade and stabbed both of them to death in front of a crowd of about 20 other black folks on the bus. After that I never heared of another one of those attacks happening in that city.

The parents were on tv crying saying there kids were angels, if they were such angels why were they riding the bus looking for senior citizens to Rob and beat to a pulp. There were black activists saying racism was the only reason they let the guy free even though he was defending himself.
