Do you know why the man was there? no you dont. Sometimes you can approach someone for directions or asking a question. its wrong to think it was automatically for drugs right? And how do you tell if someone not nice by just looking at them?Unless they are covered in blood.

You really don't get it, do you? The outrage from most of the social protests is because of a lack of justice in those cases. 2 of the 3 suspects in this instance have already been arrested & they're already tracking the 3rd suspect. It's 2 completely different situations because justice is being served here. Just to be clarify it even more:
Situation A: An incident occurs. No one is initially being held responsible for it. People get mad at the lack of accountability & justice. People start protesting, demanding accountability. Media picks up the story if it fits the ongoing narrative of no justice for similar cases.
Situation B: An incident occurs. 3 suspects have been identified & 2 have already been arrested. Authorities are searching for the 3rd suspect. Accountability & justice are being served so there's no need to protest a lack of justice. Media barely mentions it if they mention it all, because crimes where suspects get caught are daily occurrences.
Get it now?

It should be reported. And on MSM. Will it though?.
Revelation 3:9King James Version (KJV)
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie;
Ephesians 5:11 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.

The "sickening responses" are just words. The beating was real and could have killed that guy.
If that was your child in that video, the victim that is, would you rather someone insult him or beat him like that?
Don't conflate the violence in that video with people's natural inclination to have a strong response after watching it. After watching that video, do you think that THOSE particular black lives matter? If you say yes, you're just silly.
They piled into a friend's Honda Odyssey and returned to the gas station just before 7 p.m. Utter chaos unfolded, as seen in a video released Friday by police. Adults and children, side-by-side converging on a man who had no chance of defending himself. Joachim was carrying the Mace and sprayed it, but she missed, instead hitting a young man in the group, one of Gillard's sons, in the face, Brooks said. Another woman, one who police are seeking help in identifying, swung a hammer, hitting the victim repeatedly. Other, younger attackers, stomped and kicked the man's head as he lay prone on the ground. Finally, Gillard walked up to the man and beat him with the piece of the rocking chair, hitting him so hard in his head and face that the wood splintered in her hands, Brooks said. Then, as quickly as they arrived, the group got back in the van and prepared to leave. But before they did, Gillard hesitated. She pulled her son, the one at the center of the incident, toward the man, lying broken and bleeding on the pavement. She wanted to him to see that they had stood up for him, Brooks said. Police later took that man to Einstein Medical Center, where he remained Friday night in "extremely critical condition," Brooks said. He was in a medically induced coma. Sources said parts of his skull had to be removed to reduce swelling. The posse broke his collarbone and nasal cavity. In the wake of the beating, Gillard and Joachim also went to Einstein - they sought medical attention for Gillard's son, sprayed by the Mace, sources said. But the blood on their hands and shoes gave them away, and police arrested them as they sat in the hospital's parking lot. They remained in custody Friday night, denied bail, according to court records. Meanwhile, police are imploring the public to watch the horrific footage of the attack on their YouTube channel (youtu.be/h-i2SonWUFs) in the hopes of identifying the other attackers. Tipsters can call 215-686-8477.

The thing that's difficult for some to swallow is that this is what passes for parenting in these communities. If these are the parents, is it any wonder the teenagers are getting into lethal conflicts with the police?

My point was he walked up to the group for a reason and got really close to the guy that punched him, not something I would do. I'm not defending the guy who punched him, but the aftermath kind of showed us the whole group wasn't very good people to say the least. I guess they were all honer grads just hanging out and something evil came over them. I guess there is a good reason who I do not get sucker punched but this guy does...lol
If the races were reversed, the town where that assault occurred would be burnt to the ground. This is a racist hate crime plain and simple.
