Zahavasdad,
You Said: “If you walk into harlem wearing a white sheet shouting FROM THE STREET general racial slurs (Not aimed at a particular individual) and you are beat up, the perps are legally responsible for any damage they incur.”
I am not a lawyer so I do not know the laws in theses cases.
In any case there is Law and then there is common sense.
Even the same judge who would sentence a black guy to prison for beating up someone who walked into Harlem wearing a white sheet shouting FROM THE STREET general racial slurs (Not aimed at a particular individual)would admit that the idiot who got beaten up had it coming to him and for sure has nothing to be all self righteous about.
The point is simple:
Don’t bother people if you do not want to fight. If you bother people quit whining when they fight with you.
If they are “right” or “wrong” is not the point.
