(21,115 posts)more than assaulted...he was trying to stop him from leaving and he was pushed away bruskly....it was definetly not done with intention to hurt that man.....just get him out of the way so that he could leave. If he actually had malice towards him he could have beat him or grabbed something and hit him with it.....but he didn't...he roughly pushed him aside..... I guess he should have lifted him ever so gently....then placed him down tenderly on a pillow of feathers so that he could leave.
All of this happened over a lousy box of extremely cheap cigars....this was a 17 yr old Young men at that age are not fully grown nor are their brains and their decision making skills are not fully matured. For all we know this is the one and only thing like this this kid had ever done....No criminal record and about to start attending Community College..
Kids sometimes do bad things....most don't end up shot dead by a cop just for stealing a box of lousy cigars...or playing "bang...bang...bang" with a toy gun alone in a park...
Yet some....like Ethan Couch.....get probation after Driving While Intoxicated and killing dead 4 of his young friends....... but the Judge and Jury agree......This "poor" little White boy suffers from a chronic case of Affluenza!
Here is what this little "thug" looks like...

I think he even has that "demonic" look about him....
Can you imagine THAT even happening to a Black kid???? Don't worry no one can...
