The black guy should be charged with aggravated battery.

They probably won't bother.

In NYC, there is no way the jury will not be at least half black, and there is no way black jurors will convict a fellow black over hitting a white who said "n-word". The prosecutors know this. The defendant knows this too, which is why he won't even submit to a plea bargain.

Yup. There is a legal principal called "fighting words" and personally abusive epithets are considered fighting words. The bigot was punched, and he subsequently fell to the ground and hit his skull.

If indeed the black man has been arrested and is charged, he has a good deal of case law to help him with acquittal.

Here is an excerpt of the jury instructions in the Zimmerman case (with my emphasis):

The killing of a human being is justifiable homicide and lawful if necessarily done while resisting an attempt to murder or commit a felony upon George Zimmerman, or to commit a felony in any dwelling house in which George Zimmerman was at the time of the killing.

The killing of a human being is excusable, and therefore lawful, under any one of the following three circumstances:

1. When the killing is committed by accident and misfortune in doing any lawful act by lawful means with usual ordinary caution and without any unlawful intent, or

2. When the killing occurs by accident and misfortune in the heat of passion, upon any sudden and sufficient provocation, or

3. When the killing is committed by accident and misfortune resulting from a sudden combat, if a dangerous weapon is not used and the killing is not done in a cruel or unusual manner.

He got what he asked for.

He did did he?

So if your kid gets drunk and calls me a name, would it be OK with you if I break their jaw and or stomp their skull into the sidewalk?

You have problem with that?

Happy ending. Are you insane? No one deserves a serious head injury for being drunk and verbally abusive. The man should have moved on or reported this to the management to deal with. Instead he escalated this into a head injuy, isn't this exactly what Trayvon Martin did? Where did that get him? What is the matter with people.

The bigot

The bigot? Been train well, haven't you. And if the Negro fellow had used the word, would he have been "the bigot" as well? The bigots are name callers slavishly following the MSMs and the establishment's instructions on political correctness.

"A black man almost killing a white man over some words is a “happy ending”? Really?"

No, it isn't. But we can surmise form his (the white guy)behavior that "N******" aren't the reason he lost his job.

He got what he asked for. However, had the ethnicity been reversed, the slugger would be in custody and charged with aggravated assault.

I completely agree with your first sentence.

However I need to correct you second sentence: "... and chared with attempted murder in the second degree" because he was demonstrating a pre-concieved bias against the viction. Afterall that is now indicated by the precedent of Florida vs. Zimmerman. Isn't my lawyer talk wonderful?

You bet it’s insane.

These few people here who think it’s justified to physically attack and cause serious head injury to some drunk, simply because the drunk called them a name is not only insane, but is also very suspect.

I never heard of that, but it was illegal for us to even keep a butter knife by the front seat. We had to be completely weapon free even a butter knife. One cabby told me once he was cited for having a plastic butter knife on his front seat lol! Hey it’s NYC, we don’t want the criminals rights to be violated! He has a right to rob and kill cab drivers. I swear, there is no job on earth more abused by a government than NYC cabs. That’s why I quit, I couldn’t take it anymore. I was getting tickets almost every other day...Dropping someone off - ticket- picking someone up - ticket- with the excuse given I was “Blocking a traffic lane”...Well sorry there officer, but my taxi cannot float in the air.

I noted you evaded the question.

Here it is again just for you:

So if your kid gets drunk and calls me a name, would it be OK with you two if I break their jaw and stomp their skull into the sidewalk? Or maybe put a bullet through their head?

Any problem with that Mr. large?

Sounds like assault and battery possibly with an intent to kill.

Many feel as you describe. They are inadvertently helping the achievement of black control of our society. I think in a sense their legs tingle whenever they hear of whites being injured by blacks.

Watch out for those few here who think it’s OK if some drunk calls them a name, to break their jaw and stomp their skull into the sidewalk....

These people are making some very suspect comments here.

Most of the passengers were cool, but just about every day you would get noes who would be absolute devils from hell....Usually rich women from the upper east side of Manhattan were the worst. It’s amazing how many junkies live up there, just absolute cocaine fanatics completely out of their minds.

Like this story, read this.... I use to get this ALL all all all alllll the time...

Judging by some of the responses here, it should be acceptable for me to beat the crap out of the next person that refers to me by a work I don’t like.

No you did not answer, but I did note you started the name calling routine.

Here is the question one last time Mr. large:

______________________________________________________

So if your kid gets drunk and calls me a name, would it be OK with you two if I break their jaw and stomp their skull into the sidewalk? Or maybe put a bullet through their head?

Any problem with that Mr. large?
