KABC?

Didn't report "races" or slurs used either.

Haven't checked KCAL yet. Friendly bet on their reporting the facts?

No bets necessary. I don't watch any TV news generally for the same reasons as I cited before. I'd rather read the news.

I don't watch the news either. Just check the websites. Any source you like in the South Bay for me to check?

Yeah, I found that to be disturbing myself. He's just lying there, nobody gets up to see what's going on, if he's bleeding, they don't call anyone, just keep filming. It seems to be a trend globally, too. I don't get it.

According to the witness the woman broke the non-aggression principle...meaning she initiated force in a situation that wasn't self-defense.

No mention of what word was used. No mention of the "races" although the video shows the woman to be dark-skinned with the victim having light skin.

Two points/questions...

1. I find it fascinating that KTLA won't tell us which slur was used or identify the "races" of the folks involved.
2. Do our resident Black Panther wannabes have alibis for the night in question?

Here's a better quality video of the incident. Rated R for language and violence my special snowflakes:

Way to prove him wrong.

Was this man too old, drunk or diseased? I don't understand, why he was allowing to get beaten like this? He even didn't try to defence himself and even didn't try to resist to this young woman. I am disgusted by his non-resistance and his unconditional surrender.

Reports say he was drunk.

This started a few years back by whatever organizations journalists belong to. To put it bluntly it's to sanitize the news in particular print media so the amount of violence and crime perpetrated by blacks is not so up front. I know in my paper they don't report the race of the perpetrator and haven't for some time. I've even seen robbery reports with complete descriptions omitting the race.

As far as this goes it appears the guy might have been drunk based on the way he grabbed the bar at start ofvideo. I have very little sympathy for him if he was insulting the woman. If you are going to run your mouth insulting people you better be prepared to defend yourself.
