The post was in response to another poster talking about how blacks treat others who don't fall in line with typical black political thought. There was nothing inexcusable about it.
So he deserved it?
Of course not. But the implication of the story and some of the posts here is that he was beaten simply because he's white.
We just spent two weeks here agreeing with each other that it's wrong for the black community to assume that Brown was shot because of his race. There is evidence it might have been for a reason unrelated to his being black.
Yet here a whole bunch of you seem ready to assume that a black group beat up this guy just because he's white. And even in the presence of evidence to the contrary.
Seems a lot of you are no better than the uninformed in Ferguson.

2 a.m. Anybody want to bet this guy wasn't drunk off his azz and egging people on?
Didn't think so.

1)He was told whitey shouldn't be there
2)A group followed him to another establishment...
3)Where he was processed to be beaten.
Seems legit to not assume it wasn't racially charged.
What evidence to the contrary is there? It was 2am and he was possibly a mouthy drunk?
How many gas stations have VN members ransacked over this?
You both assume from some facts that it was racially motivated. You both ignore the fact that his own friend says he was getting into it with some folks at the Waffle House, arguing with them.
I'm not saying it was or wasn't racially motivated. If it was, it should be prosecuted that way. But the police chief says their investigation suggests that it wasn't, so there is clearly some reason to pause and wait for the facts to emerge.
You know, sort of like we are all saying is the case in Ferguson.

I haven't protested/rioted once this week!
But, lets just look at what we do know and then we can draw some conclusions. Guy was to don't go into the WH because he's white, guy gets into an argument and leaves, or dragged out by his friend. Goes to another eatery and is followed, guy gets beat down.
Reverse the races and tell us (honestly) what would be your reaction? Be outraged it's not being classed as a hate crime?
btw I think the hate crime status are ludicrous.
and honestly the argument could have gone
AA: "Yo Cracka this WH for the N-ggas only man!"
Caucasian Male: No way man. I know my Rights man. I can eat wherever I want.
Argument continues till he goes to Huddle house where he's beaten on by multiple men that followed him from the Waffle House.
Now that's purely speculation, but This definitely seems it was a Racially charged crime and the Chief is shielding it because Black on White Racism doesn't exist.
Apparently the University of Oklahoma AD got notice there are a series of protests scheduled for this Saturday in support of Michael Brown. And the protest is right in front of the route the team takes to the stadium and in front of one of the larger gates so it could get entertaining around game time.
The info we got said there were planed protests at "multiple games across the country" on Saturday. Don't know how much faith I'd put in it or how large they will be, but for the OU AD to pass it on means they are a little concerned.
