Well maybe they don't have time to figure out if their "health care insurance " will cover a beating.

Personally I don't have the capacity to handle an enraged racist...once they're going , they're gone....

yes what this person did is wrong. no one should ever be attack because of race or gender.racial slur's should never be used on anyone. I have never stated I'm superior to anyone.please don't assume you know my complete views. I have not said that I hate anyone. yes I'm open to the ideal of seperate but equal . that is my opinion. was only stating that maybe taking a look at a different way of doing things .yes in a fair and equal way .

I don't think many people these days would jump in unless it's someone they know personally.

"Different"?????


This country tried segregation...it didn't work. It was neither fair nor equal and could never be.

Now we just have the "invisible" segregation and it doesn't help this country one bit.

Really? That's a pretty sad commentary I think. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I would have to try and help in some way. I have intervened before, and would do it again, although not a surefire way to guarantee longevity .

This woman is a SOLDIER. Where are all the right wingers who say they support the troops? Anyone who can find ANY excuse for this vile creature who would beat this woman, traumatize her child, and harm a member of OUR Armed Forces doesn't belong in this country.

Look at previous posts. Someone had the nerve to say maybe this is an argument for not allowing women in the military. Prehistoric.

They should try telling that to my daughter who has served in the Armed Forces for almost 30 years and is a Sgt. Major. She has won more awards and received more commendations than 90% of the enlisted MEN in service.
