Don’t you just love a good fight

Don’t you just love a good fight; for your enjoyment see examples 1 and 2 below: :(

Example 1
SLIDELL, La. (WWLTV) — A 73-year-old man was beaten Thursday morning during what police described as a “brutal” attack following a road-rage incident.
Police said the beating was reported a little before noon near Reine Avenue and Old Spanish Trail. A caller told 911 dispatchers two young men were beating the victim, who was still inside his car.
Officers arrived to find Brett McCraney, 19, of Slidell, and Adonis Young, 26, of New Orleans, hiding in a nearby house. The victim, who police said was disoriented, had “severe” injuries.
McCraney told police he and Young were walking across Reine when the victim almost hit them with his car.
The suspects said they began to yell at the victim, who pulled over, which they took as a sign of aggression, police said.
“McCraney told officers he felt like he had to defend his territory and ‘show him what was up,’” said Det. Daniel Seuzeneau, a Slidell Police Department spokesman.



McCraney began to beat the man who was still in the driver’s seat of his car, while Young went to the passenger side, opened the door and also began to hit the victim, police said.
The victim was treated at a Slidell hospital for “severe” facial injuries and was later brought to University Medical Center in New Orleans. Police said he could not remember any details about the beating.
McCraney and Young were booked with disturbing the peace and second-degree battery. Police said they could face additional charges and enhanced penalties because of the victim’s age.
“This is a heinous act. There is no excuse or explanation that can justify the actions of these two men,” Slidell Police Chief Randy Fandal said in a prepared statement. “We will work closely with the district attorney’s office to ensure this case is prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”






Example 2
Authorities are continuing to investigate the death of an American tourist who they say was brutally beaten outside a bar in Greece.
Bakari Henderson, 22, was with friends at a bar in Laganas, a tourist village on the island of Zakynthos, when the fight occurred early Friday morning. It began when another customer approached Henderson, and the confrontation quickly escalated to a fistfight outside, where more people beat Henderson, according to state news agency ANA-MPA. It is not known whether his friends were involved in the altercation.
It remains unclear what prompted the fight. At least eight people have been arrested and charged in connection with Henderson's death, authorities said.
Tiara Henderson, Bakari Henderson's cousin, said in a Facebook post Friday that his death was the result of a “senseless crime” and “horrendous actions by the perpetrators.”



Surveillance videos from nearby shops showed the suspects beating Henderson even after he was unconscious, ANA-MPA reported. The recent University of Arizona graduate later died at a hospital.
A 32-year-old from Serbia and a 34-year-old from Greece were arrested shortly after the fight, ANA-MPA reported. Media reports said that the 32-year-old is a British citizen of Serbian origin, and that both men worked at the bar.
The six others, all from Serbia, were arrested later after they were recognized from surveillance videos and police raided the hotel where they were staying.
Henderson's friends have created a GoFundMe page to raise money for his funeral and to return his body to the United States. More than $29,000 had been raised as of Sunday evening.



“The love for this young man overflows and this loss is unbearable for so many of us,” according to the page. “If you knew Bakari you knew he was driven in life and no goal is never set to high for him to achieve. He was just starting his life, so many dreams and aspirations yet to be achieved.”
Travis Jenkins, a friend, told ABC News that Henderson was not the type to start a fight.
“Bakari was not one to act aggressively like that. He was always the one who was the peacemaker,” Jenkins said.

No doubt that these three good Samaritans are related to the village idiot:
APACHE JUNCTION, Ariz. (AP) — Authorities say three Louisiana men are facing several felony charges in Arizona including aggravated assault, kidnapping and armed robbery.

The men were arrested in Safford after the stolen car they were riding in was pulled over for speeding by an Arizona Department of Public Safety trooper.

The men allegedly assaulted and tied up an Apache Junction man on June 5 before stealing his car and firearms.

The suspects told authorities they were trying to get back home to Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

DPS officials say 20-year-old Raheem Lemieux, 21-year-old Richard Lemieux and 21-year-old Tyrus Talbot remain in the Graham County Jail on suspicion of multiple charges.

It was unclear Tuesday if any of the men has a lawyer for their case yet.

Is western civilization evolving or regressing? There was a time when things like beating an old man or kicking a guy when he was down were totally beyond the pall of social acceptability and someone would have stepped in to stop it or at least tried. But it seems to me there are more and more people now that see nothing outrageous about my two examples. How much longer before raping women or even men for that matter will be considered a sport in some quarters? I wouldn’t doubt that such a group already exist somewhere on the dark web ( Jack Reacher, “Make Me”). Maybe I am just getting old, but it appears me that western civilization is ,as the old used to say when I was young, going to hell in a hand basket.

Your ancestors owned slaves. Your nearer ancestors probably had a hand in a few lynchings. Were either a mark of civilization?

Most of the people involved in lynchings a mere 50-60 years ago were never brought to justice; these fuckwads are in jail as we speak.

Evolving in some ways, but certainly regressing in terms of basic civility. Far too much inherent evil in the human condition; as despicable as this act was, I'm far more disgusted by the psychopaths in corporations and government whose brutality destroys the lives of millions of people.

What went wrong? I thought that guns were like protective magic fairy dust against crime?

Canadian landlord fined $12G for not taking shoes off in Muslim tenant's home
Published July 10, 2017
Fox News





A Canadian landlord who was fined $12,000 for wearing shoes in a Muslim tenant's home said he felt "humiliated" by the harsh penalty levied by a national human rights tribunal.
In an interview with the Toronto Sun, John Alabi, 52, of Brampton, recounted how he went above and beyond trying to accommodate the Egyptian-born couple who lived in the apartment for two months – just to be slapped with a steep fine for the shoe incident.
"I go beyond all that. I just see everybody as human beings like me. That’s why I took them in," Alabi told the Toronto Sun in May. "We got along. And then all of a sudden I’m a racist?"


The Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario ordered Alabi in April to pay the tenants $6,000 each after he failed to take his shoes off in the bedroom were the couple prayed while he was showing the home to potential renters. The couple, who moved into first floor of the home in December 2014, terminated their lease on Feb. 28, 2015.
The tribunal also said Alabi "harassed" the couple and "created a poisoned housing environment." Though he would give them 24-hour notice of the showing, he would often fail to provide a 5-minute warning, according to the Toronto Sun.

"I was humiliated, I was made to feel I have no rights, I was made to feel that I’m not wanted in society," Alabi said. "I feel powerless. They rented my place for only two months. Two months! It’s just not fair."

Alabi told the news site the couple never had an issue when he wore his shoes in the home to do repairs. Then they filed a grievance eight months after the last incident, the Toronto Sun reported.
"I have been victimized,” Alabi said. "They are using their religion to victimize me."
The couple even found a Facebook post on Alabi's page to help their case. The landlord claimed he doesn't have the money to pay the fine on top of legal fees.
"I don’t have the money. I work very hard. If they go into my bank account right now, I don’t have $12,000 there," Alabi said, adding that he has rented the space for 15 years to help pay his mortgage.
Last week news site Rebel News Service launched a crowdfunding page to help Alabi pay for the fine.

Not surprisingly, the village idiot swallowed wholesale the Faux News version, which fails to mention that the landlord engaged in pattern of harassment of these tenants that went on for months. The Human Rights Tribunal found that the landlord went out of his way to make life difficult for them after they gave him notice because he was pissed that they were leaving (legally) only months after moving in.

And "Rebel News Service" consists of Ezra Levant spouting off uninformed rants about whatever aspect of Canadian society he doesn't like - it is essentially Breitbart North.

Your ancestors were cannibals.

There is just as much evidence of that as there is for your assertion.

I am pretty sure my ancestors were cannibals if you go back far enough and when it was seen as necessary from their point of view, but I would not hold that out as civilized behaviour or suggest that civilization has regressed since then, as the village idiot appears willing to do, by focusing on a couple of isolated examples of bad behaviour in the present.

Do you have any actual EVIDENCE that liberty's relatives participated in lynchings?

I might be more inclined to answer you if you have been just as keen to get on your high horse when the village idiot accused my parents of being communists and traitors to their country.

Of course you didn't. If you didn't understand where my hostility toward the contemptible sack of pig shit comes from, then you should have thought better than to stick your nose where it doesn't belong.

Better watch out Jariaxle you don’t want to make FF mad at you; if he should focus his extraordinary rhetorical power on someone I fear what the outcome could be.:roll: ...... You are a brave man to face the wrath of the F.

As far as I have been able to determine my family never own slaves or participate in any lynching. My stepfather's family did participate in a race war in Mississippi in Leake County in the 1800’s. But he was no relation to me. When I was young I would hear him talk about how one of his uncles was one of leaders that put down the black uprising and I believe it. He treated me like dirt, he could be vindictive and mean.

But my family was either poor small farmer or poor white trash. The difference between the two could be small: if your mule died you became poor white trash. The end of slavery and beginning of share cropping was a
God send for my people.
