There’s a pretty big thread running with a Liveleak video of this event. I’ll back link it in a minute. This has new video that shows the whole scene a little better, but not really any more of what started the incident.

The Amish surrounded the white dude.

Certain to have the usual ‘hillbilly’ comments from uninformed types here-— all because it is in the NC mountains. But, notably in the most liberal whacked out city in NC, next to Chapel Hill. This encounter with a 12 year old could literally be.... anything. Hope to have some clarification.

Any information on why this guy was there?

Unless one of those kids was his own I’m having trouble understanding his behavior.

[sit-rep]

no it doesnt... the live leak video clearly shows him assaulted by a few individuals before he threw the punch

Bump

[eyedigress]

She had it coming.

Attack somebody, get whacked by same somebody.

My best friend lives in Black Mountain. Not many Blacks there but there are some in Asheville. I was once actually surrounded by 8 Blacks in Asheville.

Too long a story for now but I had a Browning Hi-Power in the car and that saved me.

Right now all we have is a 29 sec. video that everyone seems to be viewing through their own biased lens.

As yet the news station can't ascertain what happened and is asking for witnesses and the person who shot the video.

What I see is a man surround by teenage girls yelling and taunting him. How he got in the situation is not known and at this point only speculation. More information is needed.

I also see a young girl walk up to him twice.

Did he feel threatened? Did he feel his family was threatened? Did he respond appropriately to the level of threat?

Again, we don't know. We weren't there. All we have is 29 seconds of video.

The off duty police officer should have confronted the girls if they were causing a disturbance.

Asheville is a strange place politically from what i understand. Lived there in 1990. Know its much more liberal now. Even so there are a pocket of elderly conservatives that would never vote to convict this man. Will depend on the jury selection. DA is likely a lib who will press full charges.

David Steven Bell: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

I saw something (don’t have audio) that needs to be explained, namely why were the kids already getting their videophones out before the man/girl and their final tangle?

I saw the girl bull-rush him and his punch, but there was something else going on before that which is why the kids were already videotaping the event.

If she hit him first, then she’s guilty of assault and battery and when she charged him (i.e. perhaps the second assault), he had ever right to deck her (i.e. defend himself).

There is a lot more to this story. As a former street reporter I can vouch for that.

Let’s wait and see what “witness” statements say, as well as other tapes and comments by members of his family.

Now I’m waiting for the black scum ambulance chasers and agitators to fly in or come in by dog-sled (Sharpton, Jessie J, Sheila Lee Jackson, April Whoever from Florida, Cummings, Johnson, etc).

Be prepared for a “beat down on whitey” even if the white guy was legally defending himself.

MSNBC and CNN will make up the news until the truth comes out, and if the “truth” favors the guy, they will “can” it as in “File 13”.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

The guy should have told the cops that he self-identifies as a black, lesbian 10-year old girl.
