They beat the $hit out of the clerk Was that not a threat enough for you ? NAACP would have been all over this if a "joe horn" had been behind the register and unloaded a clip or two into the animals that were trying to assault him
Artie, I got four very simple questions for you. They only require a "yes" or a "no". 1. Are you a racist? 2. Do you live in the southeast part of the United States? (If you don't want to answer this question, it is okay.) 3. Have you ever had a black friend? 4. Is it possible for a black man to be smarter than a white man? Watch his answers, folks. This is going to be good. Okay, Artie, skip the spin, just answer the questions. Like I said, the questions are very simple.
They beat the shit out of the clerk AFTER he left the register where nobody was threatening or assaulting him and went into the middle of a mob and tried to stop thieves from stealing and detaining them by locking them in the store until police came When he was standing behind the register there was no threat to him.From there he should have went to the stores office and called the police not place himself in the middle of a mob and try to stop them from stealing The clerk would have been justified by shooting them after he was attacked but law enforcement would rather you not put yourself in a position to be attacked
1. Of course, this depends on how you define "racist". I could not be called "racist" by any objective measure. 2. I have lived in many regions of the United States, including the Southeast, as well as abroad. 3. Yes, close black friends, and numerous ones. My best friend from Kindergarten is black (the only black kid in my class), and he still stops by my mom's house if she needs help moving anything, help cutting the grass etc. and I'd be equally willing to help his mom out as needed if I lived in the same city as his family. However, like most people, most of my friends are of my own ethnic group, as is the common preference. I have bailed my black friends out of jail when they've gotten in trouble, and they have come to pick me up in the middle of the night when I've had car trouble, etc. I have no intrinsic hatred of anyone. 4. Certainly it's possible for a black man to be smarter than a white man. No group has a monopoly on intelligence or stupidity. However, that doesn't negate the existence of group averages. "Is" does not imply "ought." Group differences, when they exist, pertain to averages, not to individual men and women. There are geniuses and dullards, saints and sinners, in every race, ethnicity, and gender. Political equality is a commitment to universal human rights, and to policies that treat people as individuals rather than as representatives of groups; it is not an empirical claim that people are indistinguishable. Many commentators, like yourself, seem unwilling to grasp these points.
I have made a point which has gone un addressed, so no thorough debate has transpired so long as that's the case. The better case would why YOU would want to let it go? Are you trying to ignore it? Why? At least you have acknowledged that I have in fact made a point, so thanks for at least being that honest. I have already illustrated why your assertion is incorrect; because in absolute terms, there are as many whites receiving welfare as blacks, slightly more if I'm not mistaken. Further, there are vast swaths of whites on welfare throughout Northern Europe and Canada receiving welfare. Therefore according to your theory we should see at least as many white flash mobs in America as we do black ones, yet almost no flash mobs are white. Why? Your theory fails to explain this. So, it is incumbent upon you to address this point and successfully explain it, or acknowledge that your theory does not explain it.
1) only a complete moron would argue that the clerk was in a "position of safety" in a store full of marauding animals 2) he did not try to stop the thieves from stealing, he tried to shut the doors to keep more from coming in 3) he did not attempt to "detain" anyone, he tried to keep the doors shut so as to keep more of the animal pack outside the store rather than in. in fact it could be argued that he was trying to keep the people IN the store safe from the people outside 4) at no point did he put his hands on anyone (which would have been justified even if he had done so), he was simply trying to keep the door shut. the door was forced open and he was forcefully pulled outside of the store and assaulted The notion that the clerk is at fault for this, and "deserved" having the doors of the store kicked in while he was trying to keep them closed, that he "deserved" to be kidnapped from the store and brutally beaten outside, because he tried to keep the pack of animals outside rather than allowing them to come in is stupidity of the highest order. Are you saying that if people come into my house and start stealing things, and destroying my property that it's "my fault" if they brutally assault me when I try to shut the door to keep them out? Get a grip. You need to see a therapist about your hatred for white people.
Hey, we have a guy like that right here on ET. Uh...AK 47 I think is what he calls himself. Of course most everyone else just calls him stupid.
Stupid would be arguing that the clerk did not try to stop them from stealing when in the video the clerk himself said he did...And You
