Xenophobes beat West African immigrant
 

What is it with these people who hate just becuase someone comes from another part of the world?

You know that the attack was motivated by Xenophobia do you?

Well no, I just made the assumption since there's so much xenophobia in this country, and there was no other obvious motive.
Why do you ask? You have a different theory?

There's so much sickness in this story / video. First, of course, you have the attack itself. I tend to agree with Was. I suspect the attackers knew who this guy was, and what his route was. Don't know if it was "xenophobia", but I suspect they thought the guy might be an easy target. More often than not, stuff like this isn't spontaneous. It's planned.

Then you've got this:

During the Facebook Live video, as the beating continues, no one tries to help. A man walks past Bah, who is lying on the ground injured, but he never stops to help.

What the hell is wrong with people? At least try to scare the attackers away by telling them the police are coming, or something.

Third, what kind of asshole sees something like this, and decides that his cell phone is better used as a video camera and not a communication device that can be used to call the cops? How can anyone watch something like this and be content to do nothing except film it.

I don't understand how people think anymore....

Syrian Refugee Love
 

Yup, Hillary, we need to increase the number of Syrian refugees coming in. :rolleyes:

I don't know, that's quite a leap to assume they did it just because he was an easy target. To get there, you have to assume that none of these kids have any empathy or ethics. That they don't care a lick for their fellow man. I have a hard time believing they weren't motivated by some perceived injustice.

Victims of crime are often picked because they are an easy target. If you were going to mug someone would it be the buff young man leaving the gym or the little old lady fumbling with packages in Macy's parking lot?

Picking an easy target doesn't negate the possibility that the attack was motivated by the ethnic background of the victim.

Both things could have been instrumental in the motivation.

We can only speculate.

I have no theory and won't until there is evidence to support one. As for an obvious motive, the attackers took his money so a motive of robbery isn't entirely out of the question.

Nice segue, asshole!

I can guess at the motive behind starting this thread and choosing the title.

I do it all for you, needle dick.

Why don't you go somewhere where people don't see right through you. And take whell with you.

Yeah, there's a hook in that worm. I'll pass.

Exactly.

Did you watch that video Barbara? There was about 5 of them. They didn't need to beat the hell out of the guy to get the cash. They wanted to hurt him, not just rob him. They continued beating him well after they had the money.

That's just the way "those people" are, Was. Has it occurred to you that you're doing the same thing you criticized whell for yesterday?

Did you read my response?


Both motivators, easy target and ethnic background, could have been the motivation.

We can only speculate.

I disagree. My criticism of Whell was that he jumped to the conclusion that they beat this guy simply because he was an easy target. Implying they beat him for the fun of it. That's not at all what I'm saying.
I'm saying I don't think robbery was the only motivating factor, since simple robbery didn't require beating the guy to a pulp. I think they were motivated either by xenophobia or some other perceived injustice.

Dunno what happened or why here, I still want accountability for the North Alabama LEO jerkoff that threw a visiting Foreigner to the sidewalk and permenently disabled him. He got away with it.

Got the vid to download, looks like mindless agressive street gang stuff that shames the community.
Hopefully, the perp will be brought to accountability by those unafraid to make their community safe, if they can.
Meanwhile, the driver deserves a GFM assist.

Haven't seen ACO, Burgess' dystopian tales are certainly disturbing on the page.

In fact, I think that A Clockwork Orange, the book, was more disturbing than the movie.

I'm apparently not the only one interested in the motive. Shall we denigrate Mr. Bah for asking?

Almost as disturbing as the incident itself, is the attitude of some that this is just plain old street fun. There's a reason people act violently, and I don't see how immediately writing it off as par for the course helps us on a path to any kind of resolution.

I don't see xenophobia as a motive, quite the opposite. He looks like an easy mark, the rest aside from robbery was wanton violent assault.

You are probably right as we see young people, men or women beating up on some poor individual here seeming just for the hell of it.

This is why I CC as I look like an easy mark when my arthritis acts up. The last time I thought about it was last week, when a car full of young bubbas flipped me off for no good reason.
First time I recall being flipped off in 25 years, this time I was on the motorcycle. Go figure.

I find the concept of violence for entertainment revolting, if indeed that's what this is. I would hope that when judges sentence these "no motive" crimes, they make sure these people are locked away for the maximum allowable, and that psych treatment is involved. There is simply nothing more depraved than harming the innocent and vulnerable, especially in swarms.

Was', does the driver have a GFM yet?

Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

There's about 27 definitions that pop up for the acronym GFM, but the most relevent would be Go Fund Me, so I'll assume that's what you were asking.

The last link I posted does say there's a Go Fund Me set up by his family.

Good, then. That's something. I hope the neighborhood ponies up some IDs, but I imagine the intimidation factor makes things more difficult.

Hopefully you can apply this to the Republican Party voting en masse to reduce the food stamp program, educational programs, school lunch programs, unemployment benefits, et al. There is nothing more depraved than harming innocent and vulnerable kids.

I'm sure Dontevious will talk rather than take the rap since he was apparently just the getaway driver.
He was dumb enough to keep evidence at his domicile though, so who knows.

Left holding the bag, as it were. So it starts, and they know the car and have the plate number.
It's an awful story that deserves updating and eventual accounting.

So Dontevious was the getaway driver, and Dontavious was swinging the bat.
I assume that leaves Dontivious, Dontovious, and Dontuvious still on the lam.

I've sussed out your plan at last. It's to bore us all with your racist posts and thereby condition all of us to regard racism and racists as merely boring and not hate-filled, dangerous and disgusting.

Darn, you caught me in the old "replace the vowel" racism trick. I'm busted.

On another note, I did see the article mentions a "witness" who gave up the one swinging the bat. Not clear whether the "witness" was the driver trying to save his own ass, or a bystander.
