I don't know what made me angrier: That this happened to begin with, or that some people on Facebook defended it.

Good Lord. How could anyone defend that? Hopefully the thugs were arrested and appropriately charged.

Also no one helped him, and then people ordered with him on the ground like nothing happened.

It's a sick world we live in these days.

The guy is HIV infected and gay it appears, and the blacks knew it. That may no doubt be why they immediately started bad mouthing and mean mugging him. He must have offered one of them money for sex at another time.
 
But......but.......BlackLivesMatter!!!

I blame the PO-leese.

I don't know if that's true, but even if it is I still find the whole thing totally repugnant and uncalled for.

Ummmmmmmmmm

Quite the reach there......

You know, sometimes something comes along that just grabs you, and I mean in a negative way. This is one of those. I don't know any of the people involved, not even the victim, but I'm sitting here almost seething that this even happened. I can't get it out of my mind.

And then I read people on Facebook defending it, blaming the victim (I hate that phrase, but it fits here), and I'm effing incredulous. I mean, WTF, people?!?

I know what you mean. I could feel the anger as I read the story and all I feel now is disgust .

What, exactly, is that (bolded above) assertion (assumption?) based on? Even if he was a convicted sex offender - you can't beat up (and rob) someone because of a (long?) past act.

Excuse me, but if Mike Brown can try to kill a cop and become a legendary hero.........blacks can obviously beat up and rob homosexuals at their pleasure.

And how exactly do you know this? Even if that was the case (which I highly doubt), that is still not a justification to have attacked and rob him.
 
I hope when t h ey get these pieces of ****, the trip down some stairs on the way to jail.

Some studies have shown negative feelings towards gays is higher in the black community, while others have shown there isn't much difference. In all honestly I have no idea which studies to believe on the subject.

I don't have studies to point to, but my observations over my lifetime says this is at least somewhat correct.

Still no excuse.
 
The white guy's offer to help pay for the young Black gentleman's meal showed disrespect. The obvious implication was that Blacks were inferior to Whites and required financial assistance. It was an act of direct and overt racism.

Some folks might disagree with that assessment but I GUARANTEE that there are neighborhoods across this nation where that kind of thinking thrives.

I would say the same from my experience. I find it weird if it's not true that a subculture in the black community would exist where gay black men are scared of coming out.

Was the victim a white guy? I'll be honest and say that I wondered if he was, but I couldn't tell definitively from the video (they blurred that part out), so I thought it best not to drag that part into it.

You can see his hand and it certainly appears to belong to a white guy.

Certainly sad. I have done the same thing, offered to pay for the meal of someone short on funds. Fortunately I have always gotten a "thank you" or "bless you" in return.

Pretty sure troll is trolling.

i am unclear about the intent of your post
are you trying to convey that this assault was something to be condoned because of the HIV status of the victim
 
Just unbelievable.... Can I get a # 12? Stories like this make my blood boil.



A man offered to do a good deed at a Brooklyn restaurant — and was punished with a bone-breaking beating, cops said.

"A group of men kicked and pummeled a 37-year-old customer, beating him with his own cane after he offered to pay for their meal, police said Tuesday.

Then, as he lay prone and bleeding on the ground, two customers simply ordered dinner as if nothing had happened, police sources said.

“Can I get No. 12?” one woman asked a cashier, with the victim curled up on the floor behind her, sources said."

What the heck are you talking about? Just making up stuff?
