No, I'm sure you get it from Michael Moore's personal blog and the Daily Show instead. :roll:

Again, why, exactly, is anything having to with the military immediately non-credible? Enlighten us.

We don't know if it was a hate crime or just some thugs acting tough. If they had some actual cajones, they would sign up for military service and put their useless being to some use. Bastards. Even I can hit someone from behind.

So far we don't know that it even happened. We know the BLM stuff is bull**** though.

I'm referring to this particular bull**** story. Without collaboration of a police report and a local news report it is 110% bull****.

Indeed, it is an assumption. The rest I stand behind. Thugs who beat people up from behind are despicable.

You have no evidence whatsoever to suggest that the story is false. You are "110%" simply assuming it is because it goes against your asinine personal ideology, and you want it to be false as such.

Sorry, but your rancid "gut feelings" are not definitive proof of anything.

Absent a police report or a credible news story (local paper National paper National or local TV report I have to conclude it did not happen. I'm smart like that.

My gut feeling is almost always right........

Actually...what it 'is' without those things is merely uncorroborated. What is telling is the vehemence in which you...someone that has absolutely no knowledge of the actual instance in question...insist it did not happen or that it is 'bull****'. Why...its almost as if you are motivated by something.

That's because you have an agenda. I don't. The story smelled badly due to the words the alleged victim used/was quoted and what the McDonalds manager didn't say. The lack of any credible police report or news report unveiled the LIE.

I dunno. One of the first media outlets to carry the story was WJLA, an ABC news affiliate in DC.

The other outlets picked it up here.

It appears to be legit.

Your "feelings" on your "gut feelings" are completely irrelevant.

If you have no valid counter-evidence to present, then be silent until you actually do.

"DeAnthony Mason, manager of the McDonald’s, reviewed security footage and told Marquez in a phone call Saturday that when he left the restaurant a teen with a white shirt struck him on the side of the head, knocking him unconscious. The other teens then converged on his incapacitated body, taking his belongings. The head blow Marquez sustained left his memory dazed, but Mason’s review of security footage helped him piece together what occurred.

Upon regaining consciousness, Marquez found a cab driver willing to drive him to his apartment across from American University, where he attends school. Workers in the lobby called the police on his behalf, who took him to George Washington Hospital where he was evaluated for several hours. Medical documents obtained by The DCNF show Marquez was treated for head trauma and an eye contusion."

Credit card transactions reviewed by The DCNF reveal that the assailants charged over $115 on his various credit cards at a liquor store, Five Guys and Walmart. Mason, the McDonald’s store manager told Marquez that police have been looking for the group of teens for a previous incident.

The likelihood that a high profile individual would make false allegations is slim to nil. The fact that he states he received medical care from GW is far too easy to check and dispel, if the claim were fictitious.

Good citation. Now I'd like to see the police report. I did say it was possible he was mugged. But the BLM narrative is a obvious LIE.

Riiiiiiiiiight. You 'dont' have an agenda.

So...now that you have been presented with actual news reports...
 
Is it possible the thieves made a black lives matter comment? Sure. Thieves or bullies may latch on to anything in the media to needle their victim with.

Does that mean they are BLM activists or that the BLM is responsible for the thieves actions? Of course not.

Well, the attackers did taunt him by asking him if he thought "black lives mattered."

The deal with the BLM group is that there is no central leadership or any membership list or requirements. Anyone can spout the motto and others will see them as "belonging." Not an organized group.

If you say you're a member -- you're a member, basically.

These could easily have been punks that used the motto to fly under the radar. Whomever they were, the attack, it appears was racially based.

I certainly wouldn't say that their irrational "Blame Whitey!!" brand of racially and socio-economically charged rabble rousing has done much to help matters.

It's simply given a lot of people who were probably inclined to misbehave anyway further rationalization for it.
 
Re: Marine War Hero Beaten by "Black Lives Matter" Teens

Lets assume this is true (and I think it is). Why are we discussing this particular incident? Many more assaults are committed daily. Does it deserve special attention because a war hero was attacked? Or do we find it esp interesting because the headline reads "hate crime"?
Why does any of this matter? Thugs attacked a person. Stop there. I find these hate crime accusations ridiculous, regardless of the perp or the victims color, religion or sexual orientation. Sick bastards attack another member of society, and it is a crime for which they must be punished.

What evidence is there of this? It appears robbery was the motivation.

Well sure, certainly the most concerning thing about this story is how it might impact BLM. :roll: They're the real victims here.

For anyone on the left, can we, at least, condemn their actions or are they immune because "BLM" was invoked?

Well, sure... If one deliberately goes out of their way to ignore any and all evidence which doesn't fit that pre-conceived narrative. :roll:

And fear of assault was the motive for that officer in Ferguson.
