vanzandt, You are the first person to put me on ignore since I been on ET forum. That is your personal business if you choose to put me on ignore. I was just correcting your way of thinking and giving you a different perspective from someone else.
On second thought... I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt that perhaps you do have a slight disability, and I'm going to respond one time with this: You asked me if I thought it was right or wrong what she did. I said "wrong". I made a remark that both parties wanted to let it go and I thought deescalation was good. IE peace. Ocho pointed out some things to me and I totally agreed... to which I responded they should throw the bitch in jail and fine her. Now what fucking part of that did you miss? Read the stuff again, slower. Then respond in kind. One fucking snooty answer that hints of your last post and you WILL go my ignore list permanently. EDIT... I see you made the above post while I was typing this one. You've got one chance.
My apologies to vanzandt. I was wrong for talking to him this way. I misread his post and I am clearly in the wrong. Sorry vanzandt. I understand and agree with your comments.
I am sorry vanzandt, I went back and read your post. You are right. and I was wrong. You are right, I did not go back and read your comments above on this matter. You are correct and responded logically and I agree with you on that lady should be in jail. I am sorry, I was out of character and falsely accused of you being intensive to those black people. I was WRONG. I am sorry. No need to add me on the ignore list.
The white woman (Patio Permit Patty?) appears to be someone who gets into other people's business. If she was really concerned, the township's building office would be the place to call (not the police). I'd think she should at least get a ticket for wasting the police's time. A night or two in jail might have taught her a lesson too. But the story as presented doesn't seem to show evidence of racisim (at least to me).
So today I'm walking on an urban trail and notice what looks like a black family or a group of black minors sitting at a table next to the basketball courts. I only noticed cause the group was packed around this table and was entirely black ...and, I thought they were looking at me, one by one, in turn. I'm like, are they looking at me? So, should I have called 911? It didn't occur to me to call 911 but it did occur to me to not look anymore to verify what they are looking at because in today's bullshit political environment , eye contact might be enough to start a fight. So I made a decision to look straight ahead or down at my phone. About 100 yards further down the trail I was struck from behind on the side of my head. Good thing I was wearing headphones . I wasn't hurt but it was hard enough at least one witness (there were at least five people within 30 feet) noticed and stopped to observe. There was a black boy who stopped running about 20 feet away and turned around and looked at me. Im like, "Did you just hit me?". I said it again to let everyone within earshot know what just happened as I looked around for accomplices or witnesses. I took a step toward him and he ran away back down the urban trail (about 8 feet wide) . Should I have called 911 then ? I walk up to the white guy looking at me and said did you see that? He seemed to grasp the gravity of the situation expecting I had cause to call 911 but advised against it cause he estimated the kid was about 10 years old, although he was as tall as me. I told him I recognized the kid from the group by the basketball court, so in anticipation of finding adults or parents there he offered to walk back there and inquire. So we get back to this group of 8-10 young people ranging from 8 to 16 the oldest being girls who were overweight enough to look like the morhers of the child...who was not there. As we walked up my witness asked them if we could talk to them a minute. The oldest girl turns away , gets out her phone , and says sarcastically "Not without my lawyer". Then a 14 year old boy steps up and asks what's up and I said I was hit by someone in the group. When I described the color of the jersey he was wearing the boy said he though he saw him running off . they didn't really want to admit he was part of their group so we accepted that lie and walked off. Again, my white witness thanked me for not calling 911 and keeping cool. I was wondering why he would be so set against calling the police in a city with a black female chief of police. "Why not?" I asked. He thought it would gravely affect the youth in a bad way. I suggested it was race motivated given today's hot political environment. He tried to steer me away from that suggestion , suggesting he was being taught badly by some adults. I suggested that yes , even adults are falling for the political "bullshit" and how I've been noticing on YouTube there are increasing attacks on white people in the past two weeks. I was pretty certain this was a racist attack but again he tried to forward the possibility of was just youth related relative to bad parenting. Who here agrees with my white witness? Why? I never did call 911 as the threat was gone as soon as I called him put and took one step forward . But the threat might not be gone for other white senior citizens who might be walking by this, a, gang. My main regrets are not escalating a sense of vigilance when I noticed them looking at me. And I regret not turning on my camera as soon as it happened to help ID the perpetrator. [ Edit] Me and the witness walked and talked for a hundred yards . After the witness jogged ahead I went back to surveille the group from a distance. The kid who did it never returned to the group . Meanwhile two black youths (maybe 13) walked within earshot on their way to join the group. I heard them talking about race...how (the boy) hated whites and how the girl identified as brown even though she was clearly black. This conversation indicated this entire group was infected with racism as these two joined them as friends. What do you think? Anyway, it was a very strange, unnerving feeling to be selected and targeted for assault by minors or at least one minor, just walking down a very busy urban trailr. My study of history suggests Nazi Germany had reached a point of no return (short of total destruction ) when the parents had infected the children so badly that, almost overnight , Jewish children were being shunned so badly at school that their parents had to find alternate schools. And within months it would become almost impossible for Jewish adults to escape the country. Good thing there is no official government support for this neo racism which is smearing all whites as "priveledged".

After being assaulted today (blind-sided upside da head) for walking while white by a 12 year old black lives matter wanna be, I was happy to stumble on this four year old video for a good laugh.
