Got damn. That crack.  New York is supposed to be this bastion of tolerance too.
Is it bad though that I am like craving a pulled pork sandwich now? I'm going to go get a pulled pork sandwich.

The attacker can easily be Latino as he could be white or black. Lets keep it cute with the direct and indirect references on race as your eyes don't hold all the facts.

VIDEO: Gay Couple Bashed With Chair at Chelsea Dallas BBQ
Quote:
An NYPD spokesman said an investigation is ongoing, but that the incident was not currently being investigated as a hate crime.
The incident began at approximately 11 p.m. when the couple finished up their drinks at the restaurant at 261 Eighth Ave. where they had gone to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, Snipes said. The couple had been at XES Lounge earlier that night, but moved to Dallas BBQ in search of their cheap margaritas, Snipes said.
At the restaurant, Snipes got a text about a death in his family and needed to leave the restaurant quickly, he said. As he headed out, he accidentally knocked over a drink, he said.
"A table near us audibly started making pretty gross comments about the two of us like, 'White f----ts, spilling drinks,'" Snipes said.
"I don't let anyone talk to me like that. I went over there and asked, 'What did you say about us?'" he added.
Snipes said he's 140 pounds, never thrown a punch in his life and felt he posed no physical threat to anyone at the table, especially the two large men there — one of whom stood about 6 feet 4 inches, according to police.
"I may be a mouthy broad, but I wasn't going to take it to that level," Snipes said.
One of the men stood up and escalated the verbal confrontation, Snipes said.
"He turned it into a physical altercation very quickly," he added.
The man knocked Snipes to the ground and started kicking his face and spine, knocking loose one of his teeth, snapping the cartilage in his ear and bruising his head, he said.
He shouted, "Take that, f----t," according to Snipes.
Onlookers shouted "Stop! Stop! Stop!" according to a second video posted to YouTube by Isaam Sharef, who also took the Instagram video. He didn't respond to requests for comment.
"At some point, the guy stops kicking me in the face. He's won," Snipes said.
"[York-Adams] gets me up. But as he tried to get me away, that's when the other dude hits him with the chair," Snipes said.
York-Adams took the brunt of the hit and was knocked to the ground, but the chair also hit Snipes who then slumped into a nearby chair, visibly dazed.
An onlooker rushed up and took a cellphone photo of Snipes, video shows.
"They hit us hard and then they wouldn't stop. I was hobbling away and they came and attacked us again," Snipes added.
"We were just trying to get away from it," he added.
The attackers fled the scene as the couple awaited police and medical crews, police said. The attackers had not been arrested as of Wednesday morning, police said.

I don't think that's what Sats was saying. Let's stop acting like life is a Lifetime movie. It's great that he wanted to 'stand up for himself~~~  " but it's just not wise to go up to someone who could very well be violent if you're not SURE of the fact that if it goes to that place, you're going to be able to be safe and/or defend yourself.

I'm saying. He was basically the same shade as they were. Assuming he was black because he called him a "white ******" or because he was surrounded by black people is a bit ignorant.

I don't understand how black people are going to play victim when things don't go their way but then are so quick to attack people who aren't like them. Disgusting. |
I agree, the hypocrisy is too much with them

I hope that guy went to the doctor later and got his head checked. I can't get over the sound when the chair hit him.

Why approach someone who you KNOW is likely going to try to fight if you dont want to fight back?
And all the Youtubers are saying the attacker is black, but he clearly doesn't look black to me. |
But everyone reacts and behaves differently.
He probably thought that him and the attacker would just get into a heated argument and that's it.

Bottom line is even if the gays actually defend themselves, the other guys had no right to beat them.
Was it dumb to try and defend yourself when you know you're going to get beat? Yes. But that doesn't change the fact that the other guys are in the wrong.
Hope they get jail time.

 um what are you talking about??
My post was not offensive so you need to stop being so hypersensitive and splitting hairs to find things to be outraged by.
The report described the attackers as being black. Unless you can think of another reason they aren't labelling what is so blatantly obviously a hate crime as such, maybe you should take a seat.
Also you have no IDEA what race I am, and you might be surprised.

You really should be ashamed of yourself to even agree with that post.
All black people aren't the same.

Is this the same guy that assaulted a couple on the subway the other day???
And some ATRL members wanna complain about heterophobia. Look at this ****, and then come try it again. THIS is what gays have to deal with, and live in fear of. **** out of here with your "omg someone called me a straight as an insult." Bye.
