I thought this as well. But who knows. It is unfortunate that the leftist media is feeding a long dead issue such as racism. Democrats need a way to divide the people so they can get votes from "victims", self infliction matters not to leftists.twomillenium wrote: ↑Sun Jul 08, 2018 7:14 amMaybe, 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!

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.

Re: Man attacks teens in San antonio over MAGA hat
Yeah right. Those two skinny little teenagers were calling out a big old fat thug looking dude? Then these same two skinny kids were afraid to do anything when the fat thug assaulted them? Let's try to stick to the facts here.
The race rumor has already been debunked. The last time you posted it.

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.

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.

Re: Man attacks teens in San antonio over MAGA hat
We have the luxairy of seeing a video of it playing out and he left. I would have no way of knowing what his plans for me were. He approaches me like that and I am going Red on him. I am not required to wait and see how much damage this guy will do before defending myself. I would tell him to back away and not approach in my firm voice of control.rotor wrote: ↑Fri Jul 06, 2018 11:02 am You have to wonder, how would I react if this were me sitting in a Whataburger, concealed carrying, and accosted by this burly guy stealing my hat and assaulting me? 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?
Again, we don't know everything about how he approached either. Maybe he acted friendly and told the kid cool hat. The video starts with the thug already holding the hat. Many times guys like this will ask to see the hat or ride the bike before showing what they are up to.

Aman to this! Now we all know why he thought it was OK to do what he did. He keeps getting away with his crimes.flechero wrote: ↑Fri Jul 06, 2018 10:56 am So just the 5 dwi's and drug charges... how can a judge let him walk. I guess it's not important until AFTER you run over and kill a child while DUI.
Seems to me that the judge in the 3rd, 4th and 5th dwi cases should himself be partially accountable for the next one.

Re: Man attacks teens in San antonio over MAGA hat
What is good about this is that it will give the thug a strike on his record. As wrong as it was to throw a drink on the kid and steal his hat, I am not thinking I would want the thug to do prison time for such a stupid stunt. The arrest and such will send the message to him that society is not going to accept his behavior in the future without turning him into a hard core criminal at the prison academy. If he doesn't get the message, they will send a tougher one the next time.

Excellent news. Maybe the justice system does work. I take back my comments made in anger about running his family out of town.

Re: Man attacks teens in San antonio over MAGA hat
I like it. I had not considered having a medium form of defense. As I get older it starts becoming painfully obvious to me that my dexterity is not quite what it once was. Not so many years ago I would have been able to handle that thug fairly well. A really strong pepper spray would have been perfect in this situation. If the thug persists, one could then take it to the next level. I hate that my fighting days are almost over.oljames3 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 05, 2018 9:41 pmI 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.03Lightningrocks wrote: ↑Thu Jul 05, 2018 8:37 pm I would like to read what some of you think about using a weapon to defend yourself in this situation.

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 disagree but I am about sick and tired of this kind of thing being permitted.

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.

Re: Man attacks teens in San antonio over MAGA hat
Watching the video and having the safe environment of home for processing makes it obvious the teens are being assaulted. Sometimes things like that developing right in front of you when out in public takes a bit of time to process. I have been witness to assaults that I did not realize were assaults at first sight. It is hard to know what any of us would do or say unless sitting at that place in a booth as it unfolded. It is likely that the right "types" sitting in that place would have kept the bully from feeling such bravado.
