ps: Had a knife pulled on me in a bar while minding my own biz a few years ...difused the old wobbly drunk instead of bashing his skull in (and I WAS ready too), and have looked down the wrong end of a barrel once too. "I'm still here... "'

Police Probe Videotaped Beating Posted Online - Baltimore, Maryland News Story - WBAL Baltimore

Turns out the white woman was not a "woman"


I was in a melee last year where I tried to be the voice of reason and took a beer bottle to my head and 15 stitches for my effort. Between the gangsters and old white guys involved, I was really surprised no guns were pulled especially in Houston. And I'm grateful they weren't.

Will I intervene again? Of course, that's the way I was raised (in Texas we're raised, not brought up.)

I was in a similar situation many years ago when I was as fit as Sniper. I escorted my girlfriend to my car, locked the doors , went back in and intervened on behalf of a much smaller person. I took a few good shots and gave a few back and then it was over.

Sniper, even though the SC may be considered non-lethal....might you not still face an aggravated assault charge? This is not a criticism brother, just curious.

you know if the colors where reversed it would be an automatic hate crime

On Sniper's (Billy) suggestion above for a "melee weapon" I did a google search for NEBO LED Skullcrusher - guess what came up?

Billy? This is a quite dashing picture of you!

I dunno, just a guess but maybe one of the girls realized that the other girl in the bathroom wasn't a girl-girl.

That brings up an interesting dilemma for transgender folks I'd never considered before... Which bathroom are they supposed to use?

Yes, that's me. The pic is about six months old.

Thanks Angela, you'll have me blushing all day, my lady.

Sometimes when you do the right thing, you open yourself up to bad things. It's just the way it is.

In the situation in the video, i'd be far more worried about one of those black chicks having a blade (very likely) and stabbing me than i would be about the abstract notion of getting sued or arrested.

When our new castle law passes here in a few months, it will be illegal for a criminal to sue their victim in the state of Pa, so hopefully that would prevent most such occurances where a good Samaritan jumps in to help and subsequently gets sued blind or charged for his troubles.

If you help you could come to regret it, but if i stood there and watched that kind of a beating and did nothing, i KNOW i would regret it, and it would haunt me.

You might have changed your mind when you found out that she was really a he...





Dude, the last thing you want to do is get between a angry Black woman, she will kick your butt...



And people wonder why people don't use public transit...

Not all blacks act that way, not even all ghetto blacks. And there are plenty of poor white trash rednecks that are just as bad.

I personally think black girls are pussy cats, and very easy to deal with. Much lower maintenance than white girls, and far more accommodating as well.

The thing with black girls is that if you do get them all fired up, they fight better than most white men.

I really think they're much easier to deal with than white women, and WAY easier to deal with than Latino women, who are straight up nuts IME.

Asian women are, again IME, by far the most easy to deal with though.

100% true... IME. I don't know what it is but they are difficult.

I was engaged to an Argentinian woman from Buenos Aires for a couple years.

It was eventful.

When you use the lever of meanness against the fulcrum of insanity, all bets are off.

So I gather this wasn't a "happy meal".
