Just wanted to share this video which I thought was revolting but entertaining. <object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/oeuD2YH2Fy4&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/oeuD2YH2Fy4&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>
http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Crime/2009/07/07/10056186-cp.html Three arrests after possible hate crime COURTENAY, B.C. - From the very moment Jay Phillips was born, his parents feared their biracial child's life in B.C. would be marked with epithets and slurs. Now 38 years old and the recent victim of an assault police are investigating as a potential hate crime, Phillips is speaking out in hopes his own infant son's upbringing will be in a world far, far different from the one he's experienced. RCMP in the Vancouver Island town of Courtenay, B.C., have arrested three men in the Friday night parking lot attack, video footage of which has since appeared on YouTube. "There are elements or indicators that the offence was racially motivated," said Const. Tammy Douglas, adding the final determination on hate-crime charges won't be made until all the evidence has been gathered. Douglas didn't know when that might be, since police are still hoping to speak to more witnesses as investigators try to further piece the altercation together. Phillips, the son of a black father and white mother, was walking to the gym Friday when he says the assailants drove past him, shouting and hurling racial slurs. "We're going to lynch you, get out of our white town," he alleges they said. Phillips, not one to simply back down, cursed right back. "They didn't like that so they came back, got out of the vehicle, surrounded me in a half-circle, took another step toward me, and the fight was on," he said. The YouTube video shows the outnumbered Phillips more than holding his own, at one point knocking a man down to the ground. It isn't until Phillips loses his balance that the three men converge on him. The trio can clearly be heard using racial epithets throughout the video. Phillips, who later needed two stitches, said dealing with racism is nothing new for him. He's been subjected to strange looks, rude remarks and racial slurs since pre-school. "I was four years old. I had a female teacher and she said, 'Quiet down you little ******,"' he recalled. "So I told my mom and she took care of it." His mom, Kirsten Phillips, described the parking lot attack as particularly "horrifying." "My son was on his way to the gym and it just can happen out of the blue, anywhere," she said. Jay Phillips said it's important to bring the incident to light so that attacks that are alleged to be racially motivated can be stopped. "We're not going to be bullied; we're not going anywhere," he said. "I'm going to do everything I can to wake up this world ... I don't want anybody to have to walk down the street in fear." Kirsten Phillips said she and her late husband had the same concerns about their son being subjected to racism that Jay now has for his nine-month-old boy. RCMP have not released the names of the three arrested males, but said they are aged 19, 24, and 25. Police, who say they're preparing assault charges against the trio, have not identified who shot the YouTube video.
That's pretty raw and intense. This is going to send this straight to the D&D, but I'll never understand how some people cannot differentiate between crimes of profit (armed robbery, drug dealers, etc) and crimes of passion (lust, betrayal, etc) and crimes of compulsion (racism, rage, etc).
That 3 sissy boys doesn't know how to fight. I thought that big guy would destroyed them. I guessed big muscles doesn't mean anything if you're not co-ordinate and know how to fight.
LOL at them talking smack as they drive off. yeah 3 on 1 and they were still scared ****less. Props to that dude.
What POS's. It's pretty obvious they wouldn't have the guts to do that one on one. Pretty cool though, the dude is 38 and held his own against those 20-something punks. Damn, I was so excited to visit Vancouver this weekend. Now...not so much.
I wouldn't exactly say he faught them off, but man. I hate **** like that. Something similar happened to me in Saudi Arabia.
I wish I was there. I would've helped that man kick some ass. This is more sad than anything though. People like those 3 are a disgrace.
According to an interview to a news outlet he stated he was experienced in martial arts, its probably why he kept his composure, but I didn't see any technique which showed it off. It appears whenever a real fight happens, everyone turns into a wild boxer.
He can't make an attack. He makes one move and the other 2 tackle him. Not much you can do in that situation. It's not like typical action movies where the bad guys stand around so you can beat them up one by one.
Ugh, horrible 3 on 1. Plus that one skinny kid who was slapping and kicking, probably thinks he knows how to fight with his friends behind him. P.O.S. racist, scum of the Earth.
Courtenay is to Vancouver what Port Aransas is to Seattle. It's a nice little fishing town where most of the people are great........but some of them are more than just a bit backwards. You'll love Vancouver.
