Not 100% sure although there are a bunch of areas in this country that need to be brought under control. When this behavior runs rampant all the decent people either fear for themselves or they become part of the bad. There needs to be an understanding that government is in power and this shit is not happening.

Also, let this be a lesson. Do not go into certain areas. Ever.

 

I can't believe this. As half African-American, I'm ashamed. No one (of the crowd) even thought that what they were doing was wrong but it was encouraged. I can't understand why everyone would come to a conclusion about the travyon martin case with NO video but there is video of this brutality and I haven't seen it anywhere close to the huffingtonpost or cnn. Screw double standards in America. I hope that guy is alright. I wonder if Obama will say anything.

 
hartfordwhalers84:
Yeah, what city was this in?

This is what was posted under the video, although I'm uncertain as to whether it is accurate or not...

"Guys, it's worse than you think. That's not a "black neighborhood," per the headline. No, no, that's immediately — let me say that again, immediately — in front of the Baltimore City Old Post Office Courthouse. (It used to be the postal headquarters in Baltimore, but is now one of the two main city court buildings.) I would have thought that, if anywhere was safe, even in Baltimore, this would be the place. Sadly not. (Sigh.)"

I know you are busting my balls, but I don't think calling an area bad is racist. I think it is simply saying that certain areas have high crime and should be avoided/bombed by A-10 warthogs.

Nothing wrong in that statement.

 

There are just so many things wrong with that video, I don't know where to begin. That white boy... what the hell was he doing there looking the way he did? In my mind he deserved the beatdown... as wrong as it was, he deserved that one.

To ignore the racial component is ridiculous.

The fact of the matter is that there is a large racial component to a mass beating like this. He wouldn't have gotten beaten if he was black. And the reverse situation certainly doesn't happen in white neighborhoods with any meaningful frequency (backed by crime statistics).

Good point. Where does this guy think he is, America? You can't just walk down a public street at will and expect to not be attacked, beaten and stripped!! #sarcasm

I've said it before and I will say it again...the only awesome thing about events like this one is that the idiots who are willing to commit such awful crimes are also dumb enough to film them. And although these videos are a sad reminder of what is still lurking in America, it also reminds me to carry a spare magazine for the Glock. You just never know when you will have to put a whole group down.

How people can watch a video of some thugs beating up some white guy and then use this is a springboard to declare "NO MORE WELFARE. Cut all food stamps and let them starve" is beyond me. This video has absolutely nothing to do with welfare or food stamps. It's like me hearing that some guy shot 3 people and then declaring "NO MORE GUNS".

You guys that are arguing about this should really wait for the whole story before jumping to conclusions. The video starts with somebody saying "fuck that let's get his car keys" while this white guy is grinding on (and getting grinded on) by some black chick. Wtf? Also, I find it really odd that not a single person offered to help this guy, which combined with the fact that he was stripped naked leads me to believe that this guy did something really insulting to them. I mean if some random dude across the street also felt the urge to film this, then you know that something was about to go down. The fact that the cameraman was laughing the whole time means that he prob thought the white dude deserved it.

I'm not defending these stupid ghetto thugs, just saying that it's totally possible that this guy had it coming to him.

 

JDawg, I know you're playing devil's advocate because you're black and you want to take the moral high road, but guess what. I am too, and I see absolutely zero excuse for this conduct. No one "has this coming to them." Fuck that. A human being doesn't treat another human being like this. You don't reach in and take another man's wallet while filming the scene. You don't grab his watch and valuables and strip him of his clothes and leave him helpless literally on his naked ass in the street.

Wait.... it's all about race here and there is no conceivable scenario where the white guy did anything wrong? And the same people that defended Zimmerman because 'we don't know the full story' are attacking people here when they don't know the full story? Gotta love the hypocrisy.

The attackers in the video should be jailed, simply put. Clearly not a safe area for anybody of any race if in the wrong situation.

What could this person possibly have done to deserve what happened to him? That could be the most retarded thing I have heard? Wait for the whole story? There is a video. So lets say that in the past this white dude did something to a black person in the neighborhood how the fuck does he "deserve" to get beat up now????? Explain that to me. The only evidence one has in this case is this video its pretty fucking clear he got jumped. This isn't ANYTHING like the Zimmerman case, because there is NO video in that case. If there was a video people wouldn't be saying lets wait for more facts because we don't have enough. You're telling me that you need know the history of this white man? Fuck does that even matter?

My big things is this. Not everyone in these bad neighborhoods is bad, nor do they all want to engage in crime, but when you don't have law and order it becomes increasingly hard for good people to do good things. The inmates have taken over the asylum.

And look at the other effects. No one with money to spend is going to want to go into these places. No one is going to rent, but buildings, improve the place, etc. You need to have law and order and be able to move around without the threat of being robbed. Until that happens these inner city areas become no man lands where people avoid and only criminals thrive.

Why this idiot was there in the first place is beyond me, but even so, that isn't a reason for assault and robbery. Simply disgusting acts of barbarism.

 

bunch of pussies I tell ya...

can anybody tell me what the guy was trying to do anyways? It didn't even look like he was trying to go face to face with the guy to bump chests, it just looks like he was walking towards him threateningly lol

Summary for those who didn't see the original video:

White guy is standing there while some black chick is grinding her ass up against him. White guy seems to be enjoying himself. You hear somebody say "fuck that let's get his car keys". One of the black guys then unsuccessfully attempts to reach into the white guy's pocket and steal his shit. White guy notices this and starts walking towards the black guy to confront him. Black guy knocks him out. The rest of the footage is in that 2nd video.

 

based on the reaction in this thread, i thought this video would be way worse. As far as youtube/worldstar hip hop/ internet vids in general go, that was pretty tame.

Does it suck that guy got robbed? obviously yes, but with that many people around, he could easily have gotten a way worse beating

he only got punched once

I go on worldstar everyday and this video is pretty bad he got kicked when he was on the ground and his clothes stripped from him. At other videos the people actually try to fight back.

Glad you could add such deep analysis. How many hits does it take for it to 'bad' or 'way worse'?

Also, he was hit more than once.

Oh calm down. Nowhere did I justify what was done, I'm simply commenting on how there is way crazier shit on the web where situations like this go WAY further. No one is justifying anything.

How thin is your skin?

 

This is what happens when you do not have severe enough punishment for criminals. Anyone rationalizing the criminality and brutality of this is sad.

Pure and utter filth. Not surprisingly from Baltimore.

 

Cphbravo96, it seems like you are schizophrenic (no offense). You'll say something perfectly reasonable (being armed) or point to some fact that people are missing in what appears to be a objective frame of mind. Then, in the next post, you'll make or imply some sweeping generalization (blacks are safe in dangerous areas). I don't get it.

As a separate point, although this was in front of a post office, by my definition, the entire city of Baltimore is unsafe, including the Mayor's office. But, one thing we can agree upon- had he been armed, this would have been a clear case where a second magazine would have been useful.

Possibly, I'm not on any medication!!! I wasn't being entirely serious but my point was that blacks don't get jumped for being black in a black neighborhood...they may get beat up if they are nerds or they were talking shit or sleeping with some dudes girlfriend or sister...or if they are involved in crime/drugs...whereas whites often get beat up in 'black areas' because they are white...not necessarily for the reasons outlined above. It just seems that most blacks aren't viewed as outsiders and thus aren't just randomly picked on whereas this kid got picked on, presumably, because he was white. Again, we don't know the whole story, so I'm stepping out on a limb, but I've seen it plenty of times when I was in high school, out drinking, etc. Most whites are intimidated by blacks and will typically back down from fights. Unfortunately that doesn't necessarily help the case if there are multiple people around egging their friend on. That, of course, isn't dependent on skin color at all, just a coincidence in this case. Bottom line is that criminals and those that possess that type of mentality prey on the weak...so maybe some random black kid walking home that night could have been the victim but sometimes I feel that blacks are more willing to commit crimes like those shown in the video because they don't expect resistance from whites. Who knows, I could way off.

As I mentioned in my rant against TheKing...this is just absolutely indicative of the mob mentality that is ever presents among liberals, and by extension, poor blacks. I haven't read the book 'Demonic' by Ann Coulter, but I believe the concepts are similar and this review better explains what I mean.

You are right, Baltimore is not a safe place, generally, and it it's absolutely sad that a whole city can be labeled as such. I think it's a responsible thing to avoid potentially harmful and/or dangerous situations because on many levels it's just common sense, but at some point we are sacrificing our own liberties to feel safe...especially when we are crossing off entire cities that we shouldn't go to.

I've been thinking about stepping up my gun game from my Glock 26 to a Glock 19, so I have larger capacity magazines but haven't decided if I want to give up the (somewhat small) concealment advantages of the 26 for the extra bullets. I will probably just stick with the 26 and carry some extra magazines.

It's not necessarily that we're afraid of fighting black people one on one, it's the fact that 99% of the time, if you're winning, one of their friends is going to come in and make sure you lose, or the guy who's ass your beating is gonna take out a knife/gun/whatever. Most of them don't fight fair.

How the tables have turned...black people used to get beat up when they show up in a white neighborhood and now it's the other way around (not justifying either, just saying)...can history turn full circle where white people will be slaves???

Two wrongs don't make a right. Furthermore, intimidation just means money and resources leave an area and the place dies. Look at Detroit to see what happens.

 

I will say that people tend to make these sort of things more racial than they probably ought to be. I think poverty is a bigger component in creating situations like this than any other. I mean, just look at areas outside of Boston (i.e. "Southie") and see the same sort of senseless violence and drug use. Shit, Barstool Sports has an annual tradition of posting fight videos and shit like this after Saint Patrick's Day every year, and you can be sure that its just a bunch of poor, stupid, drunk white people.

 

It isn't poverty, it is a break down of the family unit. You can look at the numbers and poverty by itself doesn't explain this crap. Yes, it is a factor, but single family households, constantly being on the dole, high rates of crime, etc.

Either way, avoid Baltimore and anywhere else like that. I vote with my dollars and don't visit or spend in areas that I feel unsafe.

As of 2010:

Food Stamp Use By Race* (as of the 2010 FY)

Whites: 35% participation | 63.7% of US population

African Americans: 22% participation | 12.2% of US population

Hispanic: 10% participation | 16.3% of US population

Asian: 2% participation | 4.7% of US population

American Indian: 4% participation | 0.7% of US population

Does the participation number mean % of (race) p0pulation? What's the source?

http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/ofa/character/fy2009/indexfy09.htm

"In FY 2009, African-American families comprised 33.3% of TANF families, white families comprised 31.2%, and 28.8% were Hispanic.[35] Since the implementation of TANF, the percentages of black and Hispanic families have increased, while the percentage of white families has decreased.[36] In 1992, blacks represented 37% of those on welfare; by 2002, this number increased slightly to 38%. In that same time period, the percentage of Hispanics rose from 18% to 25%. On the other hand, the percentage of welfare recipients who were white decreased from 39% to 32% in that same time frame.[36]"

Not sure where TheKing is getting his data, but if you compare % of population you see a disproportional amount of certain groups on welfare.

 

I think the number of people on welfare is white, but the % of people on welfare as a % of the overall population is Black/Hispanic.

Either way I don't think we should eliminate welfare. I think we need to have welfare become a bridge towards something else. People on welfare should basically do basic services for the cities they reside in. No free check.

As far as this video is concerned, it just illustrates that certain areas in certain cities are no man lands that the government has lost control of.

I seriously believe we need to send in the national guard in these places. Make it safe to walk to school, go to work, etc. When there is safety, stores will open, jobs will come and the community will improve. Until people can feel safe and see that authority is in control this wild west bullshit will continue.

 

Interesting data. Look at the states with the largest % and you see Chicago, Baltimore, Washington DC.

Now I suppose the answer isn't to cut off the spigot. But those on welfare should be required to work for the city. No free paychecks.

 

I think we can all agree that the real fault here, the real reason this man got beaten down, was his green tshirt.

I am urging the parents of White youngsters particularly not to let their children go out wearing green tshirts. I think the tshirt is as much responsible for this beating as much as the black mob was.

 

These kinds of instances of black mob violence are not just limited to sections of Baltimore or DC. I grew up in Dallas in one of the best communities in the city, but we still had a few pockets of low-income apartments in between middle class neighborhoods. When I was in junior high, we used to walk across town on the weekends to get to our favorite restaurants, and to get there we had to walk down some streets that cut right through Section 8 housing (only a few blocks away from some of my friends houses and about 2 miles from where I lived).

One time, a group of friends and I were coming home from eating when we started being followed by a mob of 15-20 black kids (all 7th graders). We got split up somehow, and an Asian friend of mine and I ended up being harassed by this group. It could have been a lot worse, as we were not full on robbed or jumped because we did not try to fight back, but we just kept walking. We both however were hit multiple times in the face. We did nothing to provoke this violence -- it was only because we were outsiders and not black.

A few months later, another friend of mine had his jaw broken in the same area when walking home. Note, this is not considered a bad part of the city by any means, and just so happens to be an area where there are a few apartment complexes which so happens to house the only black people in the area.

Absolutely ridiculous.
 

This shit happens all the time. Just watch the news. Most of it is never reported past the local news, but is happening more and more all the time. No way of stopping it except avoiding those areas like the plague.

 

To be fair, black neighborhoods arent the only ones to blame. I remember growing up in Queens NY as an asian immigrant, there was a constant gang problem in the asian community. I heard about kids getting slashed with razor blades, and many friends of mine were threatened and beaten if they refused to join gangs. Asians can be straight psycho when it comes to being thugs. Meanwhile I lived in an area that was mostly hispanics and blacks, and going to school felt like rolling the dice. It seems crazy now, but back then, as a low-income immigrant family, my parents had no time nor choice to think about any of that.
So youre gonna see this kind of thing in many low-income ethnic neighborhoods regardless of the race imo.

This is why we need the National Guard in these areas. Secure them, allow development and allow good kids to feel safe. Inner city schools suck because of disruptions and violence. Good teaches will teach there if they feel safe.

That and forced work for those on welfare.

 

Heh Ant, I was just messing with you, no hard feelings! No Philly has some bad parts. I came to from a blackout in the Temple area about 8 months back and some 300lb black guy named "Psyche Bomb" was acting as my body-guard. I was the only white guy in sight. That coulda easily been me that night.

My name is Nicky, but you can call me Dre.

Haha, no worries. I see you figured out my name change.

 

Damn...just got back from Baltimore, actually. Area near the Harbor out to Fell's Point is really nice, Charles St and a few on each side are fine going up to the train station...but holy crap it gets back quickly. Girlfriend wanted to visit the house Edgar Allen Poe lived in (she was an English major) and to get there, you had to cross Martin Luther King Jr Drive...do NOT do that if you're in Baltimore. It was broad daylight, we walked one block, and I pulled rank and we got the hell out of there.

We are all to blame. Until people start demanding that these hate crimes are charged as such this bullshit double standard will continue. We should all write whatever DA decided to look the other way and not press hate crime charges.

 

Flat out, hate crimes are almost 100% charged against white people. Only way a minority gets charged with a hate crime is the victim was gay.

I'm sorry, but if a group of 6 white kids beat the shit out of a black kid and stole his crap, while filming it on their phones, it would 100% be a hate crime. The double standard is sickening.

Aempi - go study for your gmat lol
