Or you can stagger along the sidewalk while it chews your ass off. Not much of a choice, is it?
So he couldn't have retreated when he saw the pit bull on the leash, maybe even before the owner released the dog?
He may or may not have been able to successfully retreat because the kid may or may not have released the dog had he done so. But the point is, the black guy shouldn't have to "retreat" should he? Just listen to yourself. He's supposed to run away at full speed just because some hillbilly bumpkins approached him on the sidewalk? I suspect he had no idea that fatboy would be using his entire damned family along with their dog and cleaning utensils as weapons. He probably figured it would be a fair one on one brawl and then suddenly went into WTF mode when he saw the dog unleashed and a little kid stab him with a broom handle.

Now, there's no scenario whatsoever that makes any of this okay, BUT I submit that the video simply started too late for us to know what the motive behind this was.
what about a scenario where the "black boy" had just raped their 6 yo daughter while kicking their grandmother's teeth out?
Which we already know wasn't the case, but even still the human garbage on this forum, mainly you and ajax, can't bring yourselves to condemn their actions. Because when the black person is the victim, you just keep holding out as long as you can for something to explain how they deserved it.
Maybe it's footage from a movie about the Jim Crow South, since that's what it looks like. If it's one of Steve Bannon's movies, the title would be "Back When America was Great".

So we've went from this is a 50s style random lynching for nothing other than being black to, they didn't fight fair because they used a dog. George Zimmerman didn't fight fair either. A reasonable person should not expect a fight to be fair. That's why fist fights are stupid and illegal and usually escalate to weapon use. Save it for the courtroom if you want to hold onto any moral high ground.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.
ajax I can think of no reason for a group of people to gang up on a guy like the folks in the video. If the man had broken the law in some way, they have the cops. There's no possible reason for alleged human beings to act like a mob in the streets of their neighborhood without an imminent threat to themselves.
Honestly, the behavior on the part of the white folks (and child!!!!) was vicious and for what possible reason could they have done that?
Because they're vicious and hateful. They treated another human being worse than they'd treat an animal because they themselves have animalistic tendencies. That is the absolute lowest of human behavior and they allowed a CHILD to become part of it.
It was ugly, it was hatred, it was non-human, it was OBSCENE what they did.

I'm not defending the white guys in this video. They're idiots and criminals. But was the motive racism as Kevin says? Is the black man in this video really blameless? I think he's probably an idiot as well.

This is amazing to me that you can even have any reasonable doubt that the moral high ground is held by those who condemned this senseless act of brutality. Why do you and subby so stubbornly and consistently cling to the moral low ground and the garbage pit?
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.
