Thoughts and chairs.

I_AM_CORNHOLIO,

Fucking lol. Imagine fucking your life up because you hate the way dark skinned people look or some shit.

Spendrill,

Police also appealed to the public for help in determining what had happened.

‘It appears to the untrained eye that this is a simple case of some white people fucking around and finding out but we need some white witnesses to tell us that it is all the black suspects fault.’

Lexam,

You know to defend the white guys that were involved in this unfortunate incident, would be fucking stupid.

RunningInRVA,

The best part of the article is our hero Aaren:

Quote:

As authorities try to untangle the incident, a man who was seen swimming across the river to the aid of the riverboat worker was partly identified as “Aaren”.

“In the face of adversity, Aaren selflessly came to the rescue of a fellow colleague, showcasing courage beyond his years,” a statement from his publicist, Makina Lashea, read.

DingleBoone,

Damn, Aaren’s already got a publicist

Aaren is prepared every time.

archomrade,

Nah, that wasn’t Aaron, it was Aquaman

Aquamane.

Aaren could clearly kick Aquaman’s butt.

Son_of_dad,

Lol the cops show up and start arresting the black people. Not even surprised.

money_loo,

Well yeah they were winning, usually you have to arrest the people who are winning first because it would be awkward to try to arrest someone while they're getting their ass beat.

atzanteol,

it would be awkward to try to arrest someone while they’re getting their ass beat.

Hoo boy, do I have some awkward bodycam footage for you…

money_loo,

First I laughed at this comment. Then I cried a little on the inside. Ugh.

Black police showing out for the white cop

NWA addressed this already.

visak,

It seems like in this case they arrested most of the people involved on both sides, that first black guy that they put in cuffs they only did right after he clocked that lady in the jaw like 3ft in front of a police officer.

MicTEST,

In the video I watched they arrested the guy who hit people, including a woman who wasn’t in the brawl at the time, with a folding chair.

zaph,
@zaph@lemmy.world avatar

I like how you specifically point out the one blow a black person in the fight made that was fucked up and completely ignore the fact that the white pieces of shit started the violence. Very telling.

PizzasDontWearCapes,

The white boaters clearly started everything but the only arrest I’ve seen as well was the guy who went all WWE with a folding chair on a woman who was already on the ground, right in front of the cops

zaph,
@zaph@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve seen an article that said the 3 dudes who started it were arrested but I haven’t found anything about chair guy. Hope you’re right that was fucked. She’d just gotten her shit kicked in properly she didn’t deserve the chair.

kite,

I just heard on the news that not only was chair guy not arrested, they don’t know who he is and police are looking for him. I want to say it was David Muir’s World News Tonight but I’m not 100% on that as I was in another room and only sort of listening

zaph,
@zaph@lemmy.world avatar

Oh shit that’s some bittersweet news. Thanks

SamboT,

Dude wtf. His comment was in response to the police arresting black people and he was saying why that might make sense.

As has been said, you control active threats first for your own safety. Calm down.

Fungah,

Is active threats your new short code for African American?

SamboT,

You want to find a racist person so badly don’t you?

zaph,
@zaph@lemmy.world avatar

I completely understand subduing all active threats until you figure out what happened and who is actually a threat but the comment I replied to only mentioned one person and I was pointing that out.

hemmes,
TransplantedSconie,

Damn man. Someone was beaten over the head with a folding chair?

rocking song starts playing

“Ba gawd! That’s the riverboat captain’s music!”

codybrumfield,

“Live Every Chair and Swing” will now be the lyrics.

ApathyTree,

Swing low (or high) sweet chair, it hits, coming forth to stagger them down.

codybrumfield,

Fun fact: the folding chair was invented by an African American in the early 1900’s.

Let’s give Nathaniel Alexander some detail!

thoughtco.com/nathaniel-alexander-folding-chair-4…

Patent 997,108, filed March 10, 1911, and granted July 4 the same year

TransplantedSconie,

He was probably sick of swinging full sized regular chairs at racist chucklefucks, so he got to work streamlining the swingin’.

Redditiscancer789,

Should of been fucking hit a few more times. Tired of these racist fucks, wanna act like an ignorant piece of shit? Go live in the 1800s.

elbarto777,

Should have*
