Looks like you gave as much thought to this post as the killer gave to his punch.

Being elderly was his "physical condition".

Considering he could have lived for years, had he not been punched, the punch is "what finally killed him".

Will setting this violent criminal free, bring back any of those dead unarmed black men?

Anyone who punches an elderly man in the face over words, clearly does not have the impulse control to be in civilized society. He is more fit for jail, which is full of people just like him.

Exactly, thats why the old man is dead. He should have thought first too. Didn't anyone tell that old white man that young black men are biologically predispositioned for violent acts and black on white crime is rampant. Why would he stick his hand in the lions cage anyway? You guys are not getting the word out.

If he has lived thus far trouble free it will prove that the old man provoked him. Why not the same standard for the "wise old man." He should know better, I know plenty of old white men who are wise enough not to verbally attack any one, racially or otherwise. The old man should have shown an amount of civility as to not get him self punched, that is not too much to ask.

The day civilized society accepts that violence is an appropriate response to words, is the day we cease to be a civilized society.

In some poor and uneducated parts of society, violence is the accepted norm in response to words. But that is what makes them poor and uneducated parts of society. And this is something that crosses all racial boundaries.

There is a reason educated people made laws against violence, while making laws protecting speech. If civilized, educated people were to start accepting violence as a normal response to speech, the result would be chaos.

And in the end, sticks and stones. How hard is it to never physically assault anyone who hasn't physically assaulted you first?

Some people have no control over their emotions.
That's why they build jails for people like this to keep

their emotions safe from others...............

He’s dead because a violent black man punched an old white man. The thug deserves some jail time.

Who started it? Nobody would have ever had to know he was a violent black man if the old white man had just treated him with respect. Didn't this white man get the memo about how black people are savages?

His penalty will reflect the desires of a civil society that does not want to give white racist permission to shout racial epithets and young black men with out recourse.

Except there is recourse other than violence. Don't serve him. Tell him to leave the store. Call the police if he doesn't leave the store.

Violence should never be an option, let alone, first option.
