[quote:Anonymous Coward 77864301:MV80NDQ0ODI0XzgwOTIxMjk0Xzg5MzY0QUY2] [quote:Anonymous Coward 79023146:MV80NDQ0ODI0XzgwOTIxMTYzXzkyOEM3REMz] [quote:Anonymous Coward 77864301:MV80NDQ0ODI0XzgwOTIwODYyXzUyRTYxMUJG] [quote:Anonymous Coward 79023146:MV80NDQ0ODI0XzgwOTIwNTQzXzFGMEZEMEY4] [quote:Anonymous Coward 78798311:MV80NDQ0ODI0XzgwOTE4NzQ0X0ZCQzMwQQ==] So it is acceptable now for a black woman to threaten to beat his white ass? So can whites now threaten to beat a black mans ass? This world has gone mad. An idiot can watch that video and clearly see who was in the right. The black family were racist and threatening. The white couple had no choice, they did what they had to in order to get out of there. [/quote] Take race out of the equation for once and look at it objectively, not with emotion but as subjects. Both subjects contributed to and kept feeding the argument. Subject A and B kept arguing and escalating. Subject A did verbally threaten subject B, that is breaking the law. Subject A did strike subject B's car, that is not a threat to oneself at that point but it is breaking the law. Subject B did pull out a gun, which is a threat to Subject A. Subject B would have been better off to keep backing up and driving away, even if she ran over Subject A. When she exited the vehicle and pulled out a Gun, Subject B now also broke the law, because if she was truly in fear of her safety, she would have never exited the vehicle and would have ran them over. Subject B could have called the cops once in her car and told Subject A that the cops are on the way. Me? I ignore loud and rude people and avoid confrontations with them. They are not worth my time or energy. I have encountered plenty of rude and loud mouthed people and just keep walking. I do carry, and if one of these people physically grab me, then I will open up on them. [/quote] Not to be rude, but if you allow them to physically grab you, you'd better not try to pull your gun lest they take it from you and shoot YOU. To safely use a firearm you are supposed to maintain 6 feet of distance between you and your attacker if possible. Once they've physically got you, you're toast and just as likely if not more likely to be shot than they are if you try to pull a gun. [/quote] It is a different world we live in now for sure. My old man said they settled scores with a fist out behind the bar. Afterwards, the loser bought the winner a beer and kept his mouth shut. Now everyone carries a gun, legally and illegally and many are quick to pull it out at the drop of a hat. We have become a nation of wimps. [/quote] Well, I guess that's all well and good if it is a 1 on 1 fight between 2 people of the same gender, age and physical ability but that's not exactly what we've been seeing lately is it? What we are dealing with is sneak attacks by large groups on lone targets or heavily outnumbered targets. If it IS 1 on 1 it's a young adult male vs a 92 year old woman with a walker. I don't blame people at all for pulling their guns and think they should have legislated protections for doing so when faced with these types of situations. [/quote]

This is such bullshit. They have turned off the comments for the article so I will vent here about my problems with it.
#1. They describe it as the woman "tapped" the back window of the vehicle. BULLSHIT, she hit it multiple times pretty hard.
#2. They neglect to say that the white woman in question is noticeably pregnant.
#3. They turned off the comments so no one can point out the way the article tries to sway opinion in favor of the blacks who started the confrontation.
I swear the news is the most insidious problem this country has.
I am so sick of seeing people being arrested for defending themselves while these lawless thugs get away scott free for so much worse.
