This would be almost hilarious in a facepalm sense, if it wasn't so fucked up. A situation that developed at the Westlake Center in Seattle. Pictures So, there was a protest ongoing by Gaza supporters: And this guy, a supporter of Israel comes along, and he gets pretty mad: He gets into a confrontation with the protesters. Things go from bad to worse And then the guy decides to go into full thug mode. He then accosts this innocent passerby, who wasn't even part of the Gaza protest. He just happens to be passing by, but Shirtless Wanker there aggressively approaches him anyway, and apparently spat on the back of his neck. Whether intentional or not I don't know. Which led into this: The black guy squared up to him momentarily but thought better of it. Fortunately a mall cop from the adjacent mall is on hand to address this aggressive ruffian: See, he's got his mace can out and all... Wait, what? Oh hell no! That did not just happen... There are more pics at the link, but what happened after that is pretty much contained in this video: Wheeeeeee.............
Without seeing the whole incident, it's difficult to say whether this was right. It's important to remember that the cop has to go by what he actually sees. Even if the black dude didn't start it, he might've responded in an unlawful way while the officer was watching. Just because you didn't start it doesn't mean you can't be arrested for your subsequent actions.
Since I live in Seattle, and I actually saw this, I'll chime in. Midnight Funeral actually has it right. This dipshit mall cop is lucky he didn't get ass fucked by all the hostile people on hand. It was a nice instance of both sides of the protest coming together in hatred for Mall Cop piggy boy.
"Let the man do his job!! ". "Private property! Private property! ". What brilliant argument stoppers. I'll have to use those.
Looks like the entirety of these mall cops' training consists of the schoolyard chant that begins, "Fight! Fight! …"
I guess I don't have the proper temperament to be a security guard. I don't have the deep seeded insecurities required to want to randomly hurt people for a power trip. I'd be like "look, fellas, take off. You can beat the shit out of each other, but not here". Then, I'd be taken in a for a disciplinary review thingy, and my bosses would be like "there was a perfectly good nigger right there for you to spray!! Don't you understand what your job is about?!?!". And I'd be all "Um..guess not. That stuff wasn't in the tape you made me watch. ". It's never in the tape. Companies have to make better tapes.
Then, it ought to come full circle, and our soldiers should have to wear pink tutus, and have silver fairy wands on their gun sights.
Wrong again Faceboy, I support Israel over Hamas in the conflict over there so I wouldn't be crawling around on "Jew hate sites". I found it posted on a well known general sci-fi board.
Why do people(men) take of their shirts when fighting? I mean if you are a Hulkster, I get it, but otherwise I don't.
I think it's an effort to intimidate the other guy -- "see my big muscles? I will destroy you!" It is an alien concept to people who aren't assholes. Also, it takes away the ability for the other guy to grab you by the shirt, so there is at least a marginal tactical advantage.
