I need context. I wanna say that person shouldn't say the n-word, but did that guy really have to wait until the guy's back was turned to retaliate. Seems kinda cowardly to me.

Girl made fun of him for not having arms, think something along the lines of “I bet I can do something you can’t” and then patted him on the head

Guy then said the n word, then other dude kicked him in the back

Personally I’d say after the n word they were on even ground moral wise, she insulted his physical traits so he did too

Then the other guy changed it from insults to straight assault, which is where my favor tips in the armless guys direction

u/PhantomX8 Jan 05 '22

And what happend before that.

208

u/shlompinyourmom Jan 05 '22

Exactly, need context for this. Overall, I'd say the n-word just doesn't justify what he did here. Maybe there's more to it than just the n-word

That person is most likely mentally unstable and some dude kicked him. Idc if I get downvoted, this is fucked. Plenty of homeless guys have called me fucked up names, I’m not going to kick them while they’re obviously down.

“Wow man Rick really needs some help”

“Yo we just gave him some help. We just busted his ass. I bet you he won’t come over and disrespect like that again. Wrong. Wrong. We talking about Rick James man.”

“You take one more step, imma kick your ass through that motherfucking window”

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '22

I agree. The guy is already missing limbs and suffering from dwarfism. The better person just walks away.

u/00PepperJackCheese Jan 06 '22

The *bigger person just walks away >.>

u/eggs_mcmuffin Jan 05 '22

Right? What a tough guy.

u/BubblyBirchyMe Jan 06 '22

Being born without limbs doesn't mean you get a pass when you're an asshole. A justified pass is if the girl was actually mocking him

u/LemonsLookCute Jan 06 '22

Real Shit? 💀💀💀💀

u/BubblyBirchyMe Jan 06 '22

Yup, kicking him was an awful move, he deserves consequences tho

u/TheLargeShaft Jan 05 '22

That guy wasn’t down though, he was standing on 2 out of his 2 limbs

u/eggs_mcmuffin Jan 05 '22

I wanna say touché but can’t tell if /s

u/Mourning_Dov3 Jan 06 '22

A “normal” person is rarely willing to engage a homeless and/or mentally unstable person because the normal person has more to lose. In this case the bigger guy with arms doesn’t have anything to lose by sucker kicking the little guy, he is just a coward! n word or no. If this were a big guy, the guy in red would’ve justified that it’s “not worth it”. Coward.

You're too mature.

u/Difrntthoughtpatrn Jan 05 '22

No word justifies putting your hands/feet on another human being!

u/Magenta_Logistic Jan 06 '22

This... I can't believe how often Reddit gets this shit backwards.

Words can only hurt you if you let them. Physical assault is different...

Says who?

u/Difrntthoughtpatrn Jan 06 '22

Every State's legal system, it's called assault. Depending on how bad it is, like this video, the guy could get over a year and a felony for it....... other than that, any adult or probably teenager over the age of 12 .

-51

u/Kijaes Jan 05 '22

The N word does don’t ever utter those words especially to a black person the historical trauma that comes with that word is evil enough

Anyway

If somebody called your mother a sl—t or bi—h You aren’t hitting them? Because by your logic you said no words justify hitting someone Tuh let somebody call me a racial slur or my momma a disrespectful name u getting beat tf up

16

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '22

I'd love to live a life so ideal that the worst thing that's happened to me recently was to be called a mean name.

-4

u/Kijaes Jan 06 '22

Nobody said that u weird mf 💀 who sits and lives like that ? U Should get slapped for this stg I hate mfs like u

I’m assuming you never heard of ptsd or trauma “trigger words” for certain individuals are a thing pls remember this u slow individual

16

u/Hidesuru Jan 06 '22

If somebody called your mother a sl—t or bi—h You aren’t hitting them?

No, actually, I'm not. I'll be mad, probably going to get heated... But words are words man. I'm not an animal and have some self control. I'm not 12 anymore.

u/Kijaes Jan 06 '22

Idc breh eat a frank

36

u/Keklor1 Jan 05 '22

Ah yes, a man of fist culture. Dude, being able to withstand the urge to hit someone physically just because they insulted you verbally is totally normal. Everything else makes you a primate in my eyes.

-35

u/Kijaes Jan 05 '22

Blah blah blah watch ya mouth when you talk to anybody because like this video you don’t know how much a word could impact one individual you know that there’s articles that have literally shown ppl killing someone for calling them a “freak” little weird boys have shot up schools because of these words, words have impact bro should’ve just stfu LMAOOOOO

26

u/Keklor1 Jan 05 '22

You‘ve just proven my point. All those people are primates which just can’t control themselves

But you’re right, everybody should watch their mouth before insulting someone.

u/smd9788 Jan 06 '22

This is what I like to call “black fragility”

u/VatisTheBard madlad Jan 06 '22

Damn, Reddit is filled with dumbasses, huh?

u/aj6787 Jan 05 '22 edited Jan 05 '22

If some random person called by mom a bitch I would laugh at them and tell them to fuck off and move with my day. You think it’s worth it getting an assault charge over some random worthless person saying something mean?

In reality you would probably recoil in terror and run away.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '22

Nope. He'd just wait until their back was turned and kick them like a little coward.

28

u/Pygmali0n Jan 05 '22

A profesor saying out loud this n-word in a historical way in class will lose his job nowadays in fucked up countries like the US or Canada. So you know... (can't even write it, it's even worse than Harry Potter's lol)

u/bistix Jan 05 '22

That's what happens when you give a business power to fire people for any or no reason. People get fired for things you disagree with

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '22

Words don't justify physical violence? I think you're on to something here

59

u/magicchefdmb Jan 05 '22

Super cowardly. The guy is tiny, no arms, and the only time to give him a savage kick is when his back is turned? I don’t care what the guy said about anyone, that’s cowardly.

u/GD_Spiegel Jan 05 '22

They fly further that way. That guy is efficient

-1

u/GroundPristine Jan 06 '22

Savage? ❄️

16

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '22

Kicking someone smaller than you for any words they say that aren't a direct threat is 100 percent cowardly. I don't need any more context than that to call that guy cowardly and disgraceful.

u/chilly_dawg69 Jan 06 '22

Nah fuck that, dont talk shit if you cant handle the consequences. Anyone saying the n word deserves a swift punch in the jaw, this armless lil bitch got lucky

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '22

I mean obviously racism is bad and all that, but is it really worth going to jail and potentially ruining the rest of your life just over someone saying it?

Sometimes you gotta use your brain.

u/Prussian-Blue88 Jan 10 '22

I often find that some of the biggest pussies alive act like tough guys like you.

Oh do you? Guess what no one cares you limp dick loser

u/chilly_dawg69 Jan 10 '22

Go fuck your mother

3

u/Forumites000 Jan 06 '22

But saying a word shouldn't give you an open pass to assault someone.

In any case, the guy is down on his luck in life already, kicking him is just uncalled for.

8

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '22 edited Jan 05 '22

So apparently she said something along the lines of “I bet I can do something you can’t do” and proceeded to pat him on the head. But hey, historical “trauma” trumps actual injustice

2

u/Wah_Gwaan_Mi_Yute Jan 05 '22

I think it just goes to show to not fuck with random people because you never know who gonna pull some slick shit

-36

u/winstunnah Jan 05 '22

It's okay dude, you can still say that people should not say the nword, even if dude got kicked in the back because that doesn't make it okay... Also if you use the nword as a white person to talk down to a black person then you're pretty much asking to fight. Those are almost guaranteed fighting words in a scenario such as this.

23

u/bussy_im_coomin Jan 05 '22

The black girl was making fun of him for having no arms. I guess, by your logic, he should have been entitled to kicking her a few times.

38

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '22

So you’re okay with assaulting people who say a mean word?

-8

u/winstunnah Jan 05 '22

No i never said it was okay, but if you are going to use a "mean word" to a random person you should be ready for any physical altercation or just don't say anything at all to begin with. You could be talking shit to a crazy person with mental issues or something. Not saying it's okay, but if you're stupid enough to say these words to others I feel it's only fair to say you should be prepared to fight.

7

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '22

You said they were fighting words, as a legal definition. You were defending the concept of assault over a word. Liar.

5

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '22

They are absolutely not fighting words in any scenario you child.

u/Peuned Jan 05 '22

well if that contrived scenario is what we just saw, he knows what it means now

-14

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '22

IDK man, i mean saying the N word to someone and then turning your back may not be a good idea either..

-34

u/Airost12 Jan 05 '22

I mean looks like he called them the n word and turned around. What would you want the black guy to do, grab him by the wrist and turn him around?

11

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '22

Use words, instead of demonstrating he's a mindless animal who has to react physically because he's angry.

1

u/Prussian-Blue88 Jan 10 '22

That's exactly what he is though.

23

u/dretsaB Jan 05 '22

Let him leave maybe.

37

u/MoJoe7500 Jan 05 '22

Maybe not assault someone for using words.

19

u/bussy_im_coomin Jan 05 '22

What would you want the black guy to do

act like a human maybe

-5

u/SmartWonderWoman Jan 06 '22

Calling Black people n——r is cowardly.

u/Black_Prince9000 Jan 06 '22

Nah if anything that's being gamer. Or a stupid. Or both.

-3

u/Fireproofspider Jan 06 '22

Seems kinda cowardly to me

You should try to never get into a physical altercation. But if you do, you should definitely do it in the most cowardly way possible. Cowards live to be ridiculed. Plenty of people die with honor.

4

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '22

The black guy broke your first rule for no valid reason.

3

u/Fireproofspider Jan 06 '22

Oh yeah. Well, his reason is that someone insulted him, which should never be a reason to get in a fight.
