I think more likely the mother thought he was trying to molest her when he bumped into her and let her racism against him cause her to freak out and fly off the handle.
"When I take the picture, she said, 'Oh, he tried to touch my girl.' I saw everything, this is a lie. And when the guys came, they hit him in the face, his body, everything," the woman said, adding she heard what the woman was saying to Rodriguez.
"Go back to your country, why are you here, bad things," is what the witness said she head.
If a 92 year old man reached out for my child, I would quickly pull them away and walk away. He's 92 years old. I mean, I don't see any kind of scenario that would justify this response, she's a little kid so low to the ground, how the hell could he even reach something inappropriate that quickly?I got a lot of feelings on this matter, but the tone of this thread doesn't seem like I could get away with expressing them, but I wanna hear both sides of the story tho. If he just genuinely accidentally bumped into the kid by accident and that's what set it off, alright. I can accept that. But she took a brick to him, that sounds like some crazy escalation after a bump. Being of Mexican background myself, I could see how other scenarios would play out that would cause a brick to make an appearance. Age or not.
k? Weird thread to be hoping for reverse racism or something but you do you.
I aint talking about touching. Black and Brown relations are not good, haven't really ever been good. Anecdotaly, my grandfather on my mothers side was HEAVY racist towards black americans for most of his life (it wasn't until the last 20 years his views have softened and he's become more accepting), but he'd let the epitephs fly when given the opportunity when I was younger. I know for certain he wasnt the only one (when I moved to a smaller town in California more into the agricultural side, away from the city, the black and brown line was still there) Then you get into the gangs in southern california having an implied line that divides the black and brown community and hell I scrolled through a facebook post on this story and a whole lot of hispanic people calling for blood and retribution through gang ties and kicking up 30 year old battle lines. I'm not excusing beating this dude with a brick, but I'm also not totally surprised it came to this.If a 92 year old man reached out for my child, I would quickly pull them away and walk away. He's 92 years old.

There is no plausible scenario where this response was justified, even if he was reaching out to the kid.
No it won't...... it will have drive by posts about Trump and then die off once people realize the race of the attackers
Y'all are so clever.No it won't...... it will have drive by posts about Trump and then die off once people realize the race of the attackers
Weren't you the one blaming me for having garbage reading comprehension and it was proved that it was the opposite?"lol the sjw cucks will be torn between defending the blacks and defending the old man what a dilemma for them lolololol"
Fuck outta here.
Racism is definitely not only White and Black specific. And unfortunately racism is pure hate, it is not reasonable and therefore can't just be put aside because of reason.Is it wrong to feel this should be time for minorities to get along? Now more than ever, these type of news really hurt.
You have to be a real piece of garbage to assault a 92 yr old man, and the people who joined? Fuck them all
Maybe it wasn't. Why don't you explain what you meant saying, this thread should have "potential" because the attacker was Black? What were you insinuating? What was your intention? What does potential mean? Entertainment?How was that post trolling?
Weren't you the one blaming me for having garbage reading comprehension and it was proved that it was the opposite?
And you still rocking that attitude, I see. Maybe you need to fuck outta here.
Also, the Republicans/GOP/Conservatives/racist Whites WANT PoC to turn on each other. It would make THEIR jobs more easier.Racism is definitely not only White and Black specific. And unfortunately racism is pure hate, it is not reasonable and therefore can't just be put aside because of reason.

I fully agree but there are quite a few examples here, not specifically in this tread, that show different levels of tolerance.Racism is definitely not only White and Black specific. And unfortunately racism is pure hate, it is not reasonable and therefore can't just be put aside because of reason.
No need for explanation since I already got a warning. Better jump on our own conclusions first.Maybe it wasn't. Why don't you explain what you meant saying, this thread should have "potential" because the attacker was Black? What were you insinuating? What was your intention? What does potential mean? Entertainment?
We already had one person agree with you saying, yep because this person was Black ERA will just ignore it. Maybe that's what you meant? But then again, not exactly potential...
I mean you were the one that asked, but alright, whatever. We can let it be.I fully agree but there are quite a few examples here, not specifically in this tread, that show different levels of tolerance.

No one likes you and your chickenshit attempts throughout your time here to imply things are so unfair for white people here, that the concerns about racism are just disengenous reasons to hate on white people. So you come into a thread about a 92yo man being beaten with a brick to inject some bullshit narrative of yours about some racism double standard. Like seriously, you're fucking scum.How was that post trolling?

This was my thought, like wtf.. a brick and a 90+ y/o person??
Keep putting words in my mouth.You didn't 'prove' jack fuck. I said that American patriotism often carries an undercurrent of racism, and you decided to pull a #notallpatriots, even after several people explained shit to you. Now you come in here acting like all of this race shit is a fucking game, that because a black person attacked a non-black person, it's funny or ironic or some shit, and that we'll get twisted up about who to side with here. News flash, 99% of people in this thread are siding with the poor old man. So no, you can fuck off.
The question was rhetorical, I didn't expect mods answering.I mean you were the one that asked, but alright, whatever. We can let it be.

Keep putting words in my mouth.
As for the other thing, go back and check the posts you still telling your thing.

What are you talking about?
Medicare should cover most of it.Is there anything more American than this line from the SacBee article?
Elderly grandfather victim of vicious hate crime must crowd fund his medical procedures.
No it won't...... it will have drive by posts about Trump and then die off once people realize the race of the attackers
Didn't I say so? I just made it clear since the original one wasn't.rjinaz said:Sorry I didn't realize we weren't supposed to comment on a mod warning whine about asking why a comment was trolling as long as the question was rhetorical. Maybe next time don't talk about it if you don't actually want people to talk about it.
It's still that same rhetoric. Yes black people can be racist towards others. But in this climate I wouldn't be shocked if Trumps own rhetoric didn't embolden this attack.
How are people defending her in twitter?? This was a inhuman attack to an eldery man
Dude there's been tension between black people and Hispanics for a long time in LA.
Hmmm I don't think it's because he bumped into the girl that he was beaten."Go back to your country, why are you here, bad things," the witness said the mother told Rodriguez, who is a legal U.S. resident, according to the station.
