Patti LaBelle's bodyguards beat up a West Point cadet at IAH, HPD poses for pictures

Maybe. But according to the surveillance video they sure as hell dont mind going to town when they find one.

I would hope so. Just like 3 white dudes beating down 1 black guy or 3 gay guys beating down 1 asian or 3 women beating up pre-op TG would result in arrests. A guy was sent to the hospital, when would you NOT want the perps arrested for assault regardless of race, gender, orientation, etc?

Arrest does not mean charged. It doesn't mean convicted it simply means you're taken into custody at the scene of a crime.

If you guys want to keep playing like something with absolutely no established basis is about race then you'd admit I guess that race plays a part when black people are in charge and the victims are not? For example when those Southeast Asian kids were beat up in school riots in Philadelphia last year and the black administrators and the black court appointed mediator tried to bury it? Let's look at the incident on its merits instead of painting it with some broad tribal brush.

For me the offensive issue here isn't black and white but unprofessional behavior. You guys are irked and defensive about the perps being black but I don't give a **** about that. I've seen enough of clowns like this in action at clubs and events to get pissed off at them for being completely unqualified ignorant goons than anything about the pigment in their skin. Completely senseless violence.

 

This guy is planking wrong.

 

Honestly, if you view the clip from about :30-0:36 you can clearly see he moves off camera in the direction of her luggage. It was then immediately after he turned around when the body guards confronted him.

This is obviously not justification for their actions, however to say their actions were not induced would be false.

 

didn't you notice that King was standing there first?

 

I'll be on the Outlaw Dave Show talking about this among other things at around 1pm today. Feel free to chime in. AM 950. It's honestly and weird coincidence.

 

Be sure to elaborate on your 'extended arm' theory.

 

I did, he didn't buy it either. Fun show tho..

 

post a link if the interview is up on the internets!

Hell ya, westpoint gon get paid!

 

Patti better plan on two shows a night for a while to pay for the kid's new house.

 

Awesome thx for the update, can't believe people in here were against King.

 

Another Sistah faints.

 

that guy got pushed down by a 63 year old hair dresser? he's a westpoint cadet.

 

i would bet that after two guys bigger than you punch you in the face a couple times a 63 year old hair dresser could push you down pretty easily too.

 

calm down francis, i just thought it was funny.

 

If the Westpoint cadet's name was Rodney King instead of Richard King -- you would not have made that post.

 

*lighten up, Francis

 

Wait a tick
