Or is the principle involved enough to justify standing your ground?

at the rate of change that is occurring, it won't hurt a thing to keep on pressing forward. trying to understand, trying to adapt. working, paying taxes, etc.

Well, let's take a look at the story. Dude out jogging, sees this cart in a "trash pile' and grabs it. So where is this trash pile and what is the result of? We don't know. Could be that man and women got evicted and their stuff thrown to the street or something of that sort. Dude comes by, sees the stuff strewn everywhere, grabs the cart and takes it home. Samurai Man comes to get "his" cart back. Soul Sista does take it back

Not sure what the story is, but on a serious note, I don't see a scenario that a "found cart in a trash pile" is worth whipping out the CCW and blasting Samurai Man at the beginning of the this confrontation. Let him have the stupid thing.

OTHO, let's say that the dude was in his garage with the door open. The cart was his, bought and paid for. Samurai Man comes up and starts his Bruce Lee crap with the sword. Bye, bye Samurai Man! Don't come into my garage slinging a sword trying to get my stuff. You could make the argument that it is still not worth blowing Samurai Dude away for a $40 cart, and I agree, but if he's trying to slash me up........boom!

No. Would have never let someone with that weapon get that close to me. And 'black' wouldn't affect my actions .

vel, jeez the hawkeye, if'n ya hadn't been white, with well off parents, and an ability to afford an education, then how'd you obtain your stuff?

ya know?

i was borne really white, but with parents that were dirt poor. but johnson drafted me, and gave me a chance to succeed.

if the brothas and sistas of which you speak have been denied the draft, then they're being discriminated against.

they're being forced to live with nothing but food stamps that were developed to subsidize der farmers.

what we've got here is a lack of education, and mostly a lack of understanding of the conditions.

at least Norinco is no longer allowed to import serious weaponry into the usa. it's domestic now.

Agreed, TRH assigns principles in lieu of common sense. That chubby kid makes a living from you tube viewers That know even less than he.

I guess my eyes are failing me. Those two looked black to me. Or is it that we're not supposed to notice?

From the narrator, the black dude believed that, because he was rummaging through the pile a few minutes earlier, and was apparently on his way back to collect it, he had first right to it. I hear nothing there to make me believe it was his property that was placed on the curb by his former landlord. You're just trying to muddy the waters.

I worked for a utility contractor in greater LA California region who had a policy that if one of the fellas comes up to your pickup truck and decides he wants a few of your power tools or other equipment, you are to do nothing to stop him.

Cart guy should've grabbed the worta hose. That usually works on those types.

We still don't lnow the complete story on this trash pile deal.

Lawyers are expensive. Ice Samurai man over a trash pile push cart in a town with an aggressive DA and soap on a rope might be #1 on your Santa Claus list for the next 15-20 years. Especially if the late Samurai Man gets a jury of "his" peers to sit on your trial.

You want to put a cap in his ass "on principle", go ahead. I say it's not worth the dudes life and losing a $40 cart I found in a trash pile sure as s h!t ain't worth 20 years in the klink for me. No way with that video could you get off on "stand your ground". Samurai Man obviously wasn't out for blood. Shoot him and the DA won't need to work hard on a conviction. Johnny Cochran ain't around anymore to get you off.
