We must be reading different things. I showed you where he started arguing with people. Its what you asked for. Its not like he walked in, quietly ate, and left and then they still followed and jumped him.

Words are what you make of them. I see whining and bitching when people ask where the media outcry is or where is Jessie and Sharpton on this story. You might see me being an idiot when I say perhaps this guy should have just went somewhere else to eat in the first place.

Telling me I'm dumb and ignorant is fine, but comparing me to 8th just hurts.

I said show me where HE STARTED it. all the article says is Arguments started. YaJayJayackson and old Sharpless aint gonna go anywhere near this. I like Most would Love to see the Press cover it with the same slanted Gusto they showed in Ferguson.
And Yea I prolly crossed a Line in sayin yer starting tro act like 8th. That was a LOW blow and Im sorry.

Now as to the whining and Crying shat. Its more like Ironic humour at the Press's Double standard

Read the whole story fellas. This dude was warned and still went in and started an argument. Not saying he deserved it, but damn that's just dumb. Something tells me there's more to this story. Nothing good though.

Regardless, sucks he got jumped.

I did read the whole story. He goes into the waffle house after being advised by someone outside against it. An argument ensues and the cops show up and Weems and Knighten leave and go to a Huddle House in West Point, MS. They evidently were followed all of the way by 20 assailants. Now Weems and Knighten may have been unwise to enter the Waffle house but after the cops showed they DID GO TO A TOTALLY DIFFERENT LOCATION AND WERE STILL ASSAULTED.

Also, I still don't get your "distinction" about this being in the deep south as opposed to another area of the country.

It means he evidently hasn't been in LA, MS, AL, GA, etc. in the last 30 years.

Seriously - no one finds this story just a tiny bit fishy or strange. Go read a few different news (not opinion) reports on the story. There are little bits and pieces missing from each one. The marine had a concealed .45 on him. There were only 7 guys at the waffle house that mysteriously turned into 20 at the huddle house.

Also - how do you not notice over 20 people following you in a small town at 2:00 in the morning. And why did Knighten always find his friend in trouble? He was never there when it started.

Not saying he deserved to have his *** handed to him. Just that the story is odd.

Also - for vet

Brinkley said a Waffle House employee told police who answered a 1 a.m. disturbance call that a patron was creating a disturbance and upsetting other patrons. After he was asked to leave, employees also asked the other patrons to leave, Brinkley said.

Brinkley told AP that surveillance video and witness accounts indicate far fewer than 20 people were involved and watching.

I'm assuming that patron was Weems.
