I don't think the clerk would have raised his arms at one point if a firearm hadn't been pointed at him.

We've got three black people defending this. All I can surmise is that this is the result of a huge cultural difference we're not aware of.

It all looked very rational to me.

If that is what you believe o.k. but this clearly shows a disconnect: One poster says the video shows two private parties peacefully handling a situation. The other the situation was handled rationally.

However, I see nothing peacefully settled or handled rationally. What I see a clerk who clearly feels intimidated

Reminds me a bit like the Mike Brown shooting. I had a co-worker who insisted Brown was on his knees with his hands in the air when he was shot. I explained that wasn't true. That AG Eric Holder had released a report saying there was no prosecutable conduct on the part of officer. However, this didn't matter. In his mind Mike Brown was executed. At which point I changed the subject.

I only made it through one minute. I have no clue what's going on.

When the black dude asked the clerk "Who's the Boss?" homie should have replied "Bruce Springsteen".

That's all I got.

At the end of this video the two parties shake hands and the store clerk says "thank you". Peaceful resolution.

Again I'd argue nothing was peacefully resolved. The BP who demanded the clerk close the shop didn't shake his hand. He waved him on and said you need to get out of here.

The gesture (hand shake) the clerk offered two of the BP also at the scene was an attempt to defused the situation. In fact the clerk had been trying to defuse this situation from the time it started. However, the BP doing the talking was having none it. He insisted the store be closed end of discussion.

Men approach an individual, display overwhelming force, make whatever demand they like, the individual complies. That's how it's been done since time immemorial. No problem, right? Unless you care about the whole civilization thing...

There are some conspiracy theories that this is all some jedi mind trick that the real white supremecists planned it all like this for black people to self segregate, but man there's just no way, that would be some second, third, millionnth level stuff nobody is that diabolically genius

This real evil genius behind this is that of Karl Marx playing out through the postmodernist 'scholars' that created this movement
