Did anyone witness the incident?
While a local news outlet reported that a witness said the victim and his two friends were making racist remarks before the incident, the San Antonio Police Department said Friday that it has no record of that occurring.

A spokesman for the Police Department said that, while someone may have told the news outlet that they supposedly heard the group make racist remarks, that information was not reported to police.

Only two witnesses -- the 16-year-old victim's friends -- are mentioned in the affidavit as witnesses to the incident.

The news outlet has since redacted quotes from the anonymous witness, stating it had "concerns about the legitimacy of the statements." Still, old screenshots of the story are being shared online.

Maybe, just maybe, the news outlet (which is known to be liberal left) redacted the quotes because they may have been generated in the news outlet's own office! I will redact this if I have any concerns about the legitimacy of this statement.

Can you provide a link to a credible source that supports this?

I think this is a false claim made by anti-Trump people on the Internet. The coward didn't even make this claim. He said the hat was the quivalent of a KKK hood to him and this provoked him to assault the teen and steal his hat. Even if the boys were using racial slurs at the coward, which they were not, verbal provocation alone does not justify the use of force in Texas. TPC §9.31(b)(1).

I'm thrilled he has been popped with a felony and I hope the DA takes him to trial. Prison, then no job, no guns, no voting -- sounds like justice. Keep it up lunatic liberals and you're going to learn that the Yamamoto warning applies in a multitude of settings.

Chas.

A bunch of dorky teens are not going to be armed but a senior citizen (I know-it's Whataburger) may very well be armed. My $20 hat and assaulted. Would anyone pull a gun and order the jerk to stand down while the police were called?

Seems to me that the judge in the 3rd, 4th and 5th dwi cases should himself be partially accountable for the next one.

A menacing person walks up on you while enjoying a burger and starts shouting at you and then attacks with a drink. You have no way of being sure this is not just the start of a much more aggressive attack.

Not everyone has the capability to hand out a knuckle sandwich. So if you are weaker or older you just have to be assaulted?

I am a 66 year old, 70% disabled, retired Vietnam Era veteran. My knuckle sandwich dispensing days are long past. An appropriate verbal response to distract the attacker as I prepare to potentially deploy pepper gel would seem reasonable. In the absence of a greater threat, of course.

Unfortunately karma has gone off the rails. His addresses was posted online, except it wasn't his, or at least not for a good number of years. It's his brother's now. People have been showing up at the house making threats and the police have been called often enough that they've parked a unit there. Dozens of unordered pizzas have shown up. I'm waiting to hear that the address was swatted.

To me, this behaviour is as bad as the original action.
