If I'm wrong I apologise, but I'm damn sure the op is a sock puppet. I'll stake my membership on it.

apologies, It wasnt the content of your post but the title that appeared race-baiting imo. It seemed sensational and intended to get a response from racists. I fully agree the old mans beating should have been protested. But nobody will.

That poor guy. Someone should be charged. But allegedly that's not mike brown, just another thug like him. As I agree this is a race baiter, its my opinion brown got justice. Instantly and appropriately. RIP ERIC GARNER
Where do you see race baiting? What race would I be baiting?

I am not trying to get response from racists. Far from it.
In my personal experience, the affects of the perception of racism are far more damaging than the acts of actual racists.
I was amazed when this video went viral how the entire discussion was about whether or not it was Michael Brown in the video, and not one word of caring about who the perps really were, or who the victim was.
All that mattered was fighting over the narrative, "See, Michael Brown was a thug," vs. "No, that isn't Michael Brown in the video."
WTF cares? What about the guys in the video!? The victim? The second guy who for sure isn't Michael Brown!?
Nobody gives a sh!t about this guy who got beat up because it doesn't support their agenda.
What race would I be offending by this post? Do you think blacks would be offended because I'm advocating justice for this old black guy who got the sh!t beat out of him?

Alright, I appreciate your provoked and well played reply.
I guess I just despise thugs. Period. I also pride myself
on being able to deal with them. Their way.

The reason why people are responding to whether or not it's Michael Brown is because you made it about Michael Brown. In not only your OP but also the title. Had you of posted the video, and stated your opinion on it, rather than making it about Michael Brown, perhaps asked questions like "Did the perps get arrested?" etc, etc, you would have had a better outcome.

The guy who got beat up was a thief & by the looks of the video a junkie...
Probably stole to get his fix...
& you want to protest this?
What happened to all of you claiming "take responsibility for your own actions"...
A junkie(?) & a thief deserves a damn beating.

I think they might be angry because you're using their (or our) call for justice to make some kind of loser, smarty pants point
It's especially annoying because your smarty pants are not actually all that smart
Why don't you just say what you really want to say? Or, do you not quite know how to make that argument? There are people here who are more than up for the grownup version - give it your best shot
What's the agenda?

wow
you made a thread about justice not being for a certain victim and then stated you do not know if he ever was justified.
keep stirring your bs pot.
If you cared anything about justice you would do your homework rather than put forth such a false emotional front.
pretty low

Great job of being a living example of the point of this thread.
Rather than concern yourself with the victim in this video, you choose to concern yourself with me, and attack me.
What pot do you think I'm stirring?
brutally assaulting a much older man over the theft of a backpack.
