this. That one kid was just a meat head. All muscle, all reactionary, no forethought. the other kid looked like he was pissed he had to deal with an over-the-top sibling. Been there.
And as a black man myself, I can definitely say those black people were trying to steal that purse. Even with the lockout you'd think Reggie Bush could afford to buy his mom one.
So the "prank" guy came over, presumably to explain what was going on and to get the purse back (rightly), and suddenly he's being cussed at and threatened with violence before he can even get a word in? Ridiculous. And I'm a naturally skeptical person, so I'm sure the black lady wasn't the only person looking to "cash in" on her discovery, but she was definitely the most obvious about it - running across the street all giddy and whatnot. What a bunch of idiots.
As a dirty white boy myself, I've been in trouble since I don't know when. I'm in trouble now, and I know somehow I'll find trouble again. I'm a loner but I'm never alone. Every night, I get one step closer to the danger zone.

Those people in the last situation don't want to play along. They're mad they got "tricked" first... that's pretty silly, if you ask me. As soon as the guy went over and said "Haha, it's a joke!" they got more upset. Can't take a joke. See, she was determined to have "SwoL" dude kick someone else's butt... she was there at first and got upset the first time. OVERREACTION is OVERREACTION. I agree. SwoL. Extremely SwoLL. EDIT: I saw it without sound at first, but now I heard it... they said "You better go home"... WHY? Isn't a street a public place? If he gets punched or pushed, it's lawsuit city if that's me.

Pulling a harmless gag, while annoying at worst, is not grounds for physically threatening somebody with violence. And no, threatening somebody is not the same level of jerkoff behavior as a mild prank is. If I were him, I would've taken the purse back anyway, if the guy touches you he's going to prison, where he can feel free to rip his shirt off and fight people over meaningless bulls**t anytime he wants.
He touched him at least twice and nothing happened. He just cowers away back to his friends. Those kids could have been charged with disorderly conduct though... Spoiler
Disturbing the peace possibly. Ok so I put a purse out for people to pick up, someone picked it up and they are wrong? I don't think so. Obviously not a justification for threats but that gristlehead wasn't trying to do anything but show off.
You seriously think he would have punched him? I think whatever means you use to get that purse back could have also been called assault.
In my personal experience Black men know what it takes to get arrested so I'm sure if the young man would have stood his ground the black guy would still be talking and talking and talking. [I have 2 1/2 black friends]
