Raw Video of Metrolink Beating

The victim, 43, was commuting home when a young man in a red T-shirt and cap walked up to him. The victim asked not to be named in media reports.

The man asked to use the victim's cell phone. He declined, and the young man sat down beside him.

"Then he asked me my opinion on the Michael Brown thing," the victim told KMOV, "and I responded I was too tired to think about it right now."

The suspect, in his 20s, stood up.

"The next thing I know, he sucker punches me right in the middle of my face," the victim said.

Depressing, because given the fucked up state of the world, I can't really fault anyone here. Between the guy who was just 'too tired', and the angry kids who were just 'too angry'... this is the kind of shit you get when you can't unfuck your society.

Gangs of thugs are gonna be violent thugs, I'm not sure race has much to do with that, but I am pretty sure someone else will think differently.

Perhaps I misunderstand you @artician, are you blaming the tired man for not discussing contentious racial issues with angry pushy strangers? I can't fathom why he's at fault at all, can you explain please? I can totally fault the guy who gets violent over someone not talking to him, 100%, and I'm curious why you don't. Did I miss something?

I'm thinking red was acting loud and crazy, getting in people's faces, and the videographer expected something video worthy to happen, and was not disappointed.

Where's Bernard Goetz when someone need him? I can't believe not a single person moved an inch to help. I find that much worse than the beating itself.
(I hope that's not tagged as the 'first overtly racist comment', I bring him up because he shot 'thugs on the subway', not because of anyone's race).

Why was this being video'd?

Obama says this kind of violence is wrong, but he understands the frustrations young black men feel in the hood (giving them the go-ahead to do it).

Youtube comments? We only had 8 comments on the sift before the two morons above this commented.
