Police are looking for more information Friday after video surfaced of a woman beating a man on the Metro Blue Line in Long Beach after he allegedly yelled racial epithets at her.
Video Shows Woman Beating Man on Long Beach Train After He Allegedly Yelled Racist Epithets | KTLA

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:

Maybe they don't know the races of those involved.

[not that it matters]

Not really important. Provided that what was said really was a slur, a slur is a slur. If I get run over by an 18-wheeler, it doesn't really matter which of its wheels ran over me.

It always matters which races were involved.

All this PC nonsense.

Watch the news where the public is told to call the police if they see a suspect.

Yeah, if you see the suspect described as a male, between the ages of 16 and 65, wearing a blue shirt and dark pants with black hair...

And they rarely if ever mention race. Why? Because the chances are it would be other than white and can't have that, the perception would be more people if color were comitting crimes.


If race isn't important in such stories then why do liberals always bring it up when talking about arrest rates? Easy answer, because in cities like Oakland and Chicago to name just two, blacks kill blacks in record numbers and commit crimes out of proportion to their representation as a race in the population.

But let's not talk about rates crimes are comitted vs arrests because the PC crowd is too busy trying to convince everyone that arrests for crimes in cities where minorities commit a large percentace of the crime because they represent a large oercentage of the local populations just isn't fair, the arrests should be in accordance with the population as a whole.

South Central is very close to Long Beach.

If a reward goes up me and you can turn SHABAZZ in and split it.

So you're a fan of either

A. P*** poor journalism
B. Censorship

Some of like to know what was ascertained at the scene.

I was generous and gave you the not knowing of "races" although the video clearly shows the woman with dark skin.

The slur I won't play the obtuse game though. The teen interviewed surely knew the slur used. Report it.
