Oh. It's already started.
Last week, my buddy walked in to a convenience store at the corner of the block on which he lives.
On the way out, he held the door open for a group of 4-5 young (early 20s) men in front of him.
As he walked out behind them (having held the door open for them, mind you) the last one in line in front of him turned around and said, "You got a problem?"
He responded, somewhat confused by the nonsensical response to having a door held open for you, "nah man. get out of here with that! i got no problem." ... he continued to walk back across the lot to his truck. He did say he turned around at one point, because he heard foot steps, and noticed one of the group following him, but he just assumed they were going to their own vehicle.

Instead, as soon as he closed the door to his truck, and was buckling his seat belt, he noticed his door was opening again. Next thing he "knew", he felt jarred, and temporarily dazed ... the shrimpiest of the four kids had opened his door and sucker-punched him in the left side of his face. ... then ran back to his group 15 feet away.

My buddy pulled his truck up, and said, "hey man. what the fuck was that? That's the most racist shit i've seen in my life. You just fucking punched me in the face for no reason. What the fuck?"

The response was, "You best get on out of here with that mess. You best go on, before it goes down."

???

The cops arrived after he called them, and LITERALLY told him, "you have no business shopping at that store. You should really NOT go back there again."

???

I have no doubt in my mind that this was racially motivated, and my friend was targeted simply for being a young, fit, white boy, in the "wrong place" ... and i'd bet dollars to donuts it was at least subconsciously motivated by the perceived injustice of the TM killing.

That is unfortunate and very sad but do you think TM case will be the untimate trigger to a percieved future race riot? i can't believe the police didn't investigate the matter further what was that all about? I would want to know why they weren't checking out what happened.

oh. i mean, who can know for certain.
but i'm betting PSYCHOLOGICALLY speaking, this was a latent factor.

Unless you think that random beatings for no apparent reason are just something that are done for shits-and-giggles on their own, and you think that my buddy had just as much of a chance at a completely-random and non-instigated punch in the face as the next black man to have walked out the door.

From the setup it seemed like he was being "baited" with the smallest (by a WIDE margin) of the 4 ... and that the hope was he would "go off" and then get "beat down" by the rest of the group (two of the members of which were over twice his weight).

again, who can know if TM was directly or indirectly related. That was just my personal hunch \ assumption.

I am ASSUMING that the punch was racially motivated (they were black, he is white) ...
just as the entire offended black community is ASSUMING that the TM killing was
a. racially motivated in and of itselft
b. the police response\non-response was racially motivated.

I'm not sure i really see the difference. except one was a punch, and one was a sadly-tragic killing.

I seriously doubt this was a case of a bunch of kids just looking for someone, anyone to punch.

But ya'll are more than welcome to go ahead and flip this around and assume that *I* am the latent racist, making racist assumptions. if that is how you want to swing this story.

the cop pretty much tells him he shouldn't be going into that store ... what more do you guys need?

not that we know what happened in this case.

Just funny commentary/skit by Bill Maher.

Random acts of violence happen every single day. White on black, black on white, white on white, black on black. I don't think you can take one example and equate it to an impending race war.

Also, some of us don't believe the Martin shooting was racially motivated. We believe the lack of arrest for two months was racially motivated. If Martin would have followed and killed Zimmerman we believe he would have been arrested much sooner.
