Gotta wonder what was going through his head to think he could get away with that
It's supposed to be a free country. It may not be wise to do what he did, but it's 100% legal.

The racist is a disgusting trashbag. However, it's still no excuse for initiating physical violence.

Not many can defend themselves against 3 thugs with ill intent. Thats why they hunt in packs right, laws of nature and all.
The name calling doesn't warrant the violation of the NAP. If you want to use it to entice someone to get within your arm's length so you can assault them, well, go for it if you want what's coming to you. And that's what the white guy did. Lucky him.

I don't know or care anything about the N word.

Charging me is an act of aggression. You've run into my stationary hand even if outstretched. I have a right to stand my ground.

I don't have a right to extend my arm out to make contact with your stationary body.

Don't you GOPers/cons have any memory of natural rights from Locke/Hobbes? I know you never graduated to Rothbard/Mises/Bastiat but come on.

The white guy initiated the violence.

Yes, I understand that the socially constructed statist law will bring the hammer down on the black dude but knowing/understanding natural rights has never been the strong suit of government.

Well.. looks like he got the attention he wanted, and a good nap.

The video isn't working for me for some reason. But if the white guy actually charged at the black guy, then the black guy should definitely be well within his right to defend himself.

Both were in a stationary position talking trash. White guy extended his arm out and made contact with the black guy.

Perp and victim established, victim has right to defend himself.

Ended with white dude dreaming of Christmas morning.

Still no evidence that anyone used the "n-word".

That's not how a civilized society works.

If you want to yell or get in my face by all means go ahead.

I will never initiate force on another human being.

That's you though. Not everyone is like that.

And nobody ever claimed we were a civilized society. If the events of the past week don't prove that we aren't, I don't know what will.
